The danger lies not in the future but right in front of him.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the justice\u2019s comment made it clear that without some standard that distinguishes public from private behavior, presidents could face a perpetual threat of political retribution.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Are the charges against Trump politically motivated?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to cycle back and be used against the current president or the next president and the next president and the next president after that,\u201d Kavanaugh told Dreeben, according to the Examiner.<\/p>\n<p>Kavanaugh, of course, made a sound argument \u2014 at least in theory.<\/p>\n<p>In a constitutional republic with democratic elections, those who wield power have an incentive not to persecute their political opponents. After all, the powerful should expect that someday they will find themselves out of power.<\/p>\n<p>When dealing with Trump and his supporters, however, establishment operatives have not behaved as if they ever expect to find themselves out of power.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, on April 16, the Supreme Court heard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/scotus-appears-put-hundreds-biden-doj-jan-6-charges-doubt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">arguments<\/a> pertaining to the DOJ\u2019s aggressive use of a 22-year-old federal obstruction statute in its prosecutions of more than 300 Jan. 6 defendants. The statute in question had nothing to do with the events of Jan. 6, but the DOJ has perverted its intended meaning so as to charge Jan. 6 defendants with felonies punishable by up to 20 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>Should the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/california-announces-plans-to-become-abortion-sanctuary-considers-covering-abortion-costs-for-out-of-state-residents\/\" title=\"California Announces Plans To Become Abortion Sanctuary, Considers Covering Abortion Costs For Out-Of-State Residents\">high court overturn<\/a> the Jan. 6 defendants\u2019 convictions under the statute, two of Smith\u2019s four charges against Trump would vanish.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, President Joe Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/doj-refuses-comply-congressional-subpoena-hand-biden-audio-despite-threat-contempt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DOJ<\/a> has taken the most vindictive course possible toward Trump and Jan. 6 defendants.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, if Kavanaugh is correct, Biden has reason to fear the boomerang.<\/p>\n<p>So why doesn\u2019t the president appear concerned about it? Do he and his establishment operatives at DOJ know something that no one else does?<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>An Important Message from Our Staff:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>In just a few months, the world is going to change forever.
