Bottom Line Up Front:
Republicans scream “lawfare” when the DOJ targets Trump, then cheer when FBI agents raid John Bolton’s home at 7 a.m. with boxes of classified documents. Democrats prosecute Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for contempt, then cry foul when Trump promises retribution. Both parties weaponize the rule of law against opponents while claiming to defend it – the same hypocrisy that’s defined American justice for 150 years.
The tax code reveals the quieter lawfare: corporations pay 10.5% on offshore profits while small businesses pay 21% domestically. From FBI raids to IRS rules, both parties use law as a weapon, then act shocked when the weapon turns on them. The rule of law isn’t broken – it’s working exactly as designed, just not for you.
