Taking Action: Don’t Like Politics as Usual? Change It!
The law can be clear, but when it is weaponized, nearly all Americans could be under federal indictment without even knowing they committed a crime. Attorney Harvey Silverglate makes this very argument in his 2009 book Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent.
In 2018, TNA senior editor Alex Newman wrote “Deep State Bureaucracy vs. Trump, America, Constitution” in our first special issue on the Deep State. He highlighted Silverglate’s book and then wrote, “In other words, any American who crossed the Deep State could, theoretically, be targeted for violating some criminal regulation that he or she never even heard of.”
This doesn’t perfectly fit President Trump’s situation, but perhaps we could agree that he has been and continues to be targeted by the Deep State. As Trump pointed out in a campaign ad, “They’re not after me. They’re after you. I’m just in the way.”
