Near the end of his important new book, The Disappearing of the President: Trump, Truth Social, and the Fight for the Republic, Lee Smith makes an important — and chilling — distinction. What has been happening in the last few years with the attacks on former President Donald Trump has not been a two-tiered system of justice, where some people get punished and others get off, as many conservatives have been arguing. Instead, it is a system of lawlessness. In fact, it’s barely a system at all.
