The indictment of former President Donald Trump on Thursday by a grand jury in Manhattan is an assault on democracy.
Worse, the indictment was purchased by notorious left-wing billionaire George Soros, who hates Trump and spent $1 million to elect Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
It is a direct assault on democracy, a form of election interference that will destroy what is left of voters' faith in democracy.
In the short term, the indictment will encourage conservative voters to rally around Trump.
Too, is election interference, because there are some Democrats who would rather run against Trump than against another candidate whose rhetorical style does not irritate the public as much as Trump's does.
If Trump had indeed committed an actual crime, even a minor one, there is no question that he should have been investigated and prosecuted, regardless of his status as a presidential candidate.
It's Trump whose home is raided; it's Trump that is indicted; and it's Trump supporters who rot in solitary confinement for non-violent offenses at the Capitol riot in January 6, 2021, even as Democrats storm state capitols over gun control, or voting rights, or labor union law, or whatever other demand they have that day.
