Imagine FBI agents and their law enforcement partners storming
into your home, seizing your personal items, boxing up your
possessions and removing them from the house, then cuffing you and
carting you off and sticking you in prison -- and ultimately, in
solitary confinement. For days. For weeks. For months. For however
long they can. Maybe you'd expect that treatment if you were a
criminal -- or, not an American. But what about if you're just
someone who, say, supports Donald Trump or works for Donald Trump
or writes favorably about Donald Trump or associates with Donald
Trump -- and that was your so-called "crime" and prosecutable
offense? What if you came under Department of Justice fire simply
for the "crime" of being conservatives? Far too many still believe
such scenarios could never happen in America; that America, land of
the free, does not engage in secret police or communist practices;
that America, beacon of liberty, does not allow persecution of
people based on their politics. But it happens. It has happened.
And worse, it can happen to any Jane or Joe Citizen. Paul Manafort,
former Trump campaign chief, discusses his own personal experiences
with Robert Mueller and the deep staters who despised
all-things-Trump.
