Well, Ben, as you know, the third book I wrote was called Justice Corrupted, How the Left Has Weaponized the Legal System.

And trace the history of it.

It started with Richard Nixon.

I'm not a fan of Richard Nixon.

I think the man was a total and complete crook.

Now, I also think the deep state conspired against him.

And yet, even as bad as it was, there was a limit to how much they went after him.

And in fact, a number of people in the deep state resisted Nixon's efforts to weaponize government against his political opponents.

What Richard Nixon tried to do

Barack Obama succeeded in doing.

And much of this cancer in the government started with Barack Obama, who turned the machinery of the federal government to a weapon to attack his political opponents.

He spent eight years doing that.

The IRS was weaponized.

The FBI was weaponized.

The DOJ was weaponized.

The alphabet soup, every federal agency was weaponized to go after Obama's political opponents.

Then to the shock of all of them,

Donald Trump gets elected in 2016.

Now, we know that the Obama DOJ was spying on Donald Trump the first time he ran.

The media laughed at him.
