Trump-haters hatched a plan to accuse this former and future president of “willful retention” of his own presidential papers, abusing a century-old law that has never before been used in this way. The federal bullies also indicted a U.S. Navy veteran from Guam who has been a personal assistant to Trump named Walt Nauta over the phony separate crime of supposedly lying to the FBI as he voluntarily described his service to the former president. Local prosecutors who prosecute real crimes do not regard lying to authorities as a separate crime, yet that is the federal prosecutors’ favorite fake crime to invoke. They threatened the respected author Dr. Jerome Corsi with this until he publicized the injustice.
Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York, famously warned Trump that the intelligence community, also known as the Deep State, has “six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.” Just before Trump was inaugurated to his first term, Schumer said on national television that “from what I am told, they are very upset with how he has talked about them.” This new indictment of Trump proves how vindictively the Deep State will retaliate. However, if we are going to address the problem of the Deep State, we have to understand them.
Obviously, the Deep State is based out of Washington, D.C. Unsurprisingly, the District of Columbia has voted Democrat in every presidential election since they were given the vote in 1964. Nonetheless, there is no other city in the United States which so overwhelmingly leans to the left. In 2020, 92% voted Democrat. Compare this to the other most liberal cities you can think of and you’ll see that no one holds a candle to DC. In Portland, Oregon, Biden won in 2020 with 57%. In New York City, Biden won by 73%. In San Francisco, Biden won by 85%. While all of these numbers are incredibly high, none can touch the Swamp’s margin of 92%. That is the magnitude of the force against Trump that we call the Deep State. They are big. They are powerful. They need to face a conservative champion who is a true fighter.
