Trump will turn America’s justice system into a tool of political revenge

The age of politicized prosecutions is upon us. No longer such a thing as guilty or not guilty based on the law and the facts.

The federal prosecutions of Donald Trump over Jan. 6 and the Mar-a-Lago documents were not politicized. Nor was the Manhattan case about falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to a porn actress. Those were based on evidence, the law and the facts.

But Trump claimed that they were politicized — that his enemies were out to get him.
