Elected Democrats are giddy that another left-wing prosecutor has lodged criminal charges against former President Donald Trump.
As much as Mr. Trump relished chants of “lock her up” at his campaign rallies in 2016, it was bluster. He had no desire to prosecute former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton once in power — a point that he and his campaign surrogates made clear well before Inauguration Day.
The indictment asserts that Mr. Trump’s first conspiratorial act was that he “falsely declared victory and falsely claimed voter fraud.” “Wow!” he tweeted. “Blockbuster testimony taking place right now in Georgia. Ballot stuffing by Dems when Republicans were forced to leave the large counting room.” In the 1960 election, John F. Kennedy secured a popular majority over Richard Nixon, but Georgia’s Democratic electors were inundated with correspondence urging them to cast their electoral votes for a Democrat more sympathetic to the South. Newspapers across Georgia became a part of the arm-twisting campaign that ultimately failed to alter the election’s outcome.
The alternative certificate submitted in Pennsylvania included the disclaimer that it was to be used “if, as the result of a final non-appealable Court Order or other proceeding prescribed by law, we are ultimately recognized” as the winning side in the election. The Democratic case is so hollow that it rests on the omission of a disclaimer in Georgia.
