Weaponizing our judicial system for political gain is beyond the pale. This trial and its outcome were carefully manufactured for political retribution—not equal justice under the law.

The verdict reached today is a horrific miscarriage of justice. Today is a dark day in American history. The weaponization of our justice system is something Americans should not have to fear.
Today’s verdict—and this entire trial—was based in politics, not the law. The Biden Admin. and their allies continue to weaponize our justice system against their political enemies. I look forward to seeing this ridiculous, partisan verdict quickly appealed and overturned.
It is a tragic time in America when our justice system is weaponized to undermine a political opponent. This trial and verdict are a disgrace and represent nothing more than a political agenda against former President Donald Trump. Truly a sad day.
Today’s verdict is not about justice or ensuring no one is above the law. Today is further proof of how the scales of justice have been thrown out, and how weaponization of the justice system can be used for political persecution. This case should have never been taken up in the…
Today is a sad day in America. This trial and verdict should never have happened. I never imagined we would witness a former President of the United States being politically prosecuted. This is a clear miscarriage of justice, and the American people won’t forget this corrupt,…
This verdict against President Trump is a farce and weaponization of the courts. Thankfully President Trump is a fighter and will appeal and move forward. This is a sad example of political gamesmanship. We must restore faith in our Judicial system.
This is a dark and deeply perilous day for our country as the weaponization of the judicial system has reached such a demented and fascist level that a former President and leading Presidential candidate has been politically persecuted to deliver a guilty verdict. The DA who…
The recent verdict against President Trump is a complete travesty that makes a mockery of our judicial system. This political show trial, conducted by an openly pro-Biden judge whose daughter profits from the case, represents the depths to which our judicial system has been…
This is a sad day for the United States. This verdict is clearly politically motivated, and it's terrible that politics has corrupted our justice system. (1/2)
This case was a blatant abuse of our justice system as a political weapon by a radical prosecutor trying to interfere in the election, and the verdict proves that this was just a show trial all along. Trump is going to win in November because Americans are sick of these political…
This is a dark day for our Nation. The weaponization of our justice system is obvious, egregious, and just sad. This sham of a trial has been purely political from start to finish and indicative of the Banana Republic that President Biden is hell-bent on turning us into.
Most Americans saw this trial of former President Donald Trump for what it was - a political gotcha game and a misuse of the judicial process. Today’s verdict sets a dangerous precedent and harms the faith that Americans have in our justice system.
