Watch the short video. This is a terrifying glimpse into our future with a Harris presidency.
They acuse Trump of wanting to do something in the future, which they themselves have actually done and are doing under Biden's Reichsleiter Merrick Garland.
Harris would be even worse.

This entire history of hers is truly offensive.
But, as someone who was a federal prosecutor for 21 years, what truly offends me is the way she viewed her power to ruin lives.
I have written this before -- early in my career, I had a senior prosecutor I respected tell me to temper my enthusiasm for "doing right". His advice was to understand how my signature would ruin lives -- not just the defendant's life, but the lives of his/her spouse and children. Everything normal would be turned upside down by having the DOJ seeking to send them to federal prison.
The warning was meant to be sobering, and it stuck with me. Now as a defense attorney I see the reality of that warning that was only theoretical when told to me.
Harris never had that view -- her comments here, which came many years into her career -- reflect a lust for that kind of power. She seems to relish the fact that she could ruin lives rather than be restrained by it.
It is the very essence of prosecutorial discretion - to be influenced by other factors into not filing a criminal charge that might be technically warranted by a myopic focus on the facts alone.
She's a two-dimensional thinker who is oblivious to consequences of her decisions.
That makes her dangerous.
