Pretending the Justice Department Was Never Partisan Under Democrats
30th October 2026
The most obnoxious lie that erupts routinely in the “independent media” is that President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice is weaponized in a way that no Democrat has ever contemplated. It’s like they all observed everything that the Biden Justice Department did to put Trump and his allies in jail and considered it to be the most nonpartisan thing imaginable.
Team Biden going after the opposing party is nonpartisan? This is the thoroughly partisan prism the leftist media use to distort our politics. Democracy is healthy when Democrats win. Autocracy is descending when Democrats lose.
See the latest claims of The New York Times editorial board: Trump “has dismantled the Justice Department’s legacy as an impartial enforcer of federal law, turning it into an instrument of retribution against his adversaries while canceling investigations into his allies.” Team Biden’s lawfare against Trump and prosecution of over 1,500 people over the Jan. 6 riot were implausibly presented in this argument as “impartial enforcement,” not former President Joe Biden’s “retribution.”
You could see this reflexive reasoning in the analysis of the Trump Justice Department announcing it would be investigating the election in Alaska over the prank candidacy of “Daniel J. Sullivan,” put on the ballot to ruin the reelection chances of Sen. Daniel S. Sullivan.
