    It might be that, but I don’t think that makes it any less dangerous as a path to set precedent to start going after any political group that they don’t like.

    Couple that with an illegal, but unchallenged executive order (not implemented yet) to prevent candidates from running, or appearing on ballots who are ‘under investigation’, and the mid-terms could be completely derailed by bogus charges on key candidates, cementing the current administrations strangle-hold.

    They’ve already shown they have to problem doing the exact things they accused the Democrats of doing, so I wouldn’t put this past them at all.

      There are multiple ways they’re ratfucking the 2026 elections already. I’m sure what you describe iw on their menu. Don’t forget taco said he only won PA because, “Elon knows how those vote counting machines work.”
