In the past two years, we’ve witnessed unprecedented levels of lawfare aimed squarely at Donald Trump. From local courts to the federal government, Democrats in power have launched legal cases and investigations seemingly designed to keep Trump from getting back to the White House.

These cases didn’t just target him—they aimed to dismantle his family’s businesses, tarnish his brand, and take a wrecking ball to his 2024 campaign. And, yet, with each court date, each headline, each new allegation, Trump just seemed to grow stronger.

At this point, it’s clear to many Americans that these cases weren’t just about “justice.” They were political maneuvers dressed up as legal concerns. In fact, even some Democrats are beginning to admit that this lawfare might’ve been a bit too obvious.

The cases, rather than harming Trump, seem to have galvanized his supporters. He survived the onslaught—and, to the shock of the political establishment, came out the other side victorious. As Trump prepares for his second term, many are left questioning the legitimacy of these attacks.

From Fox News:
The Justice Department is looking to wind down two federal criminal cases against President-elect Trump as he prepares to be sworn in for a second term in the White House — a decision that upholds long-standing policy that prevents Justice Department attorneys from prosecuting a sitting president…

It further notes that such proceedings would “unduly interfere in a direct or formal sense with the conduct of the Presidency.”

“In light of the effect that an indictment would have on the operations of the executive branch, ‘an impeachment proceeding is the only appropriate way to deal with a President while in office,’” the memo said in conclusion.

DOJ Drops Charges as Trump Returns to Power

Now, with Trump set to take the oath of office again, the Justice Department is reportedly winding down two federal cases against him. This decision isn’t entirely shocking; it aligns with longstanding policy that discourages prosecuting a sitting president.

The DOJ cited a 2000 memo from the Office of Legal Counsel that argues it would violate the separation of powers for the Justice Department to investigate a sitting president. The rationale? Prosecuting a president would interfere with the conduct of the executive branch and disrupt the nation.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr, a familiar face from Trump’s first term, reinforced this perspective in an interview with Fox News Digital. He highlighted that Trump’s appointment of a new Attorney General could lead to the immediate dismissal of federal cases brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith in both Washington, D.C., and Florida.

The D.C. charges concern Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election, while the Florida case is focused on his handling of classified documents. Barr’s position is that the Justice Department’s pursuit of these cases has reached its limit—and now, with Trump re-elected, it’s time to move on.

State Cases in Georgia and New York Still Linger

While federal cases can be paused, Trump faces two state-level cases in Georgia and New York that are harder to dismiss. However, Barr noted that even these cases should be reconsidered.

He labeled them a “spectacle,” urging state prosecutors and judges to step back and respect the will of the voters. The American people, Barr argued, have already spoken. They re-elected Trump despite knowing full well about the allegations against him.

It’s a point worth noting: Trump’s re-election itself may be the ultimate verdict. Americans cast their ballots with a clear understanding of the claims swirling around him.

Attorney General Merrick Garland and state prosecutors should take this as a signal. Dismissing these cases would allow the nation—and Trump—to focus on governance rather than endless court appearances.

Barr’s Call for Unity and Moving Forward

Barr’s message is one of unity and forward momentum. He believes further legal maneuvering would distract the country from the tasks ahead and hinder Trump’s ability to lead.

In his view, if Americans have chosen Trump in the face of these allegations, then government officials at all levels should respect that decision. Garland, who once had the final say on federal matters, would likely face heavy pressure to drop the cases, acknowledging the overwhelming mandate from voters.

While critics of Trump might hope to see these cases continue, Barr’s call for a reset is resonating. After all, the American people just went through an election cycle where every possible allegation, investigation, and indictment was laid before them. And still, Trump emerged victorious.

What’s Next for Trump?

With these federal cases winding down, Trump’s path to his second term is clearing up. He’s vowed to lead America into what he calls a “Golden Age,” promising to “fix everything.”

His second term promises a renewed focus on issues his base cares deeply about—stronger borders, economic resurgence, and a return to American strength on the global stage. And with the DOJ stepping aside, he’s free to lead without the legal distractions Democrats tried so hard to pile up.

If the past two years have taught us anything, it’s that Trump isn’t one to be kept down. The lawfare tactics failed, and his supporters only became more determined. It seems America is ready for another four years of Trump—and this time, without the constant interference from those who sought to bring him down.
