Title: Another Attack Against President Trump
Topic: Political Use of the Justice System
Discussed by Hans von Spakovsky
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)


Part 1 of 3

If we destroy the criminal and civil justice system in America, will America be able to stand?

Hans von Spakovsky is a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, a former commissioner on the Federal Election Commission, and former counsel to the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the US Department of Justice. He is a member of the board of the Public Interest Legal Foundation. 

Today, Hans discusses the blatant bias and undeserved attacks on President Donald Trump, specifically by Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are citizens free to speak, engage in political activity, and petition the government for a redress of grievances? Is this freedom to speak protected by the First Amendment?

Are lawyers tasked with vigorously pursuing the interests of their clients? Are lawyers obligated to represent the interests of their clients to the best of their ability – regardless of the lawyer’s personal beliefs?

If we continue to allow the criminal and civil justice system in America to be attacked and undermined, will we survive?

Have other political candidates ever questioned the outcome of an election? Hans von Spakovsky reminds us that Stacey Abrams ran for Governor in Georgia TWICE and lost TWICE and consistently claimed that the election was rigged and stolen from her. Plus, many, many others have done the same thing, including Hillary Clinton!
