Biden’s Collusion in the Anti-Trump Lawfare Gambit

Some of the collusion between President Biden and his party’s politicized lawfare campaign against his 2024 Republican opponent is so undeniable it can’t be hidden.

Biden’s collusion is easy to spot when it comes to Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s federal prosecutions of former president Donald Trump. As I’ve noted a few times, Smith’s special-counsel designation is a political artifice, not a legal necessity. There is no conflict of interest between the Biden DOJ and Biden’s political opponent — as there is, by contrast, in the Biden DOJ’s investigation of Biden’s son. Indeed, the Biden Justice Department, under Biden’s appointed attorney general, Merrick Garland, was investigating Trump for two years before Garland named Smith special counsel.
