It’s hypocrisy and deception of the highest order.

And it’s one thing Democrats excel at — accusing others of dark plots that they themselves are actively pursuing.

Consider the drumbeat of allegations that Donald Trump, if returned to the White House, would use the power of government to punish his enemies.

Yet it’s the Democrats — Joe Biden’s hyper-politicized Justice Department and politically motivated prosecutors at the state and county level — who have wrecked 235 years of precedent by legally persecuting the leader of the opposing party. That would be the Washington, D.C., New York and Atlanta lawfare campaigns against Republican Trump.

Just last week, President Biden blurted out, “Lock him up.” His often-addled brain worked well enough for him to realize he had let the cat out of the bag and he quickly cleaned up his message, saying “politically lock him up.” But the truth was there for all to see.
