In a stunning revelation that confirms long-held suspicions among conservatives, a former aide to Biden’s Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg openly admitted on CNN that the relentless legal attacks on President Donald Trump were no accident — but part of a carefully orchestrated, coordinated “resistance” campaign by Democrats. This admission shines a harsh light on the weaponization of the justice system during the Biden administration and raises serious questions about the politicization of law enforcement.
The backdrop to this explosive confession is the unprecedented barrage of legal cases launched against President Trump throughout the 2024 election cycle. From the high-profile FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago over classified documents to the election interference case led by Fulton County DA Fani Willis, and the asset investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James, Trump faced relentless prosecution on multiple fronts.
Lisa Smith, once an aide to Buttigieg, revealed during a CNN discussion that these cases weren’t isolated or independent legal pursuits — they were part of a broader, coordinated “resistance” effort aimed at undermining the former president. Speaking with CNN contributor Scott Jennings, Smith admitted, “We prosecuted him, convicted him on thirty-four felony counts. And guess what? He still got elected.” The sheer number of charges, Smith suggested, was no coincidence but the result of a deliberate strategy by the Democratic Party to use the legal system as a political weapon.
Jennings pressed Smith further, asking if New York AG Letitia James’s prosecution was part of the organized Democratic resistance. Smith didn’t deny it, instead confirming, “It was a Democratic prosecutor.” This candid admission is a bombshell: a clear acknowledgment from inside the Biden orbit that multiple legal actions against Trump were politically motivated and coordinated.
Jennings took to X (formerly Twitter) to highlight the gravity of the moment, writing, “I can’t believe it. They finally admitted it on live TV: The prosecution of President Trump was an organized effort by the Democratic Party ‘resistance.’ Lawfare is real. The justice system was weaponized against President Trump.”

The fallout was immediate and fierce. Online commentators erupted with outrage over the systemic corruption exposed by Smith’s admission. One user pointed to troubling evidence of political meddling, writing, “The DNC funneled \$12,000 to prosecutor Matthew Colangelo in 2018 for ‘political consulting’ before he joined Bragg’s team to target Trump. This isn’t justice—it’s a coordinated hit job using taxpayer-funded offices to settle political scores.” The commenter added, “The House Judiciary Committee’s report confirms Bragg’s office weaponized the legal system, cycling through theories until one stuck.”
The same commenter condemned the broader injustice, stating, “When federal prosecutors declined the case, activists like Colangelo kept digging through every facet of Trump’s life to fabricate charges. The real crime? Corrupt bureaucrats turning courts into campaign tools while violent criminals roam free under Bragg’s pro-crime policies. This sham trial proves the ‘resistance’ will burn the justice system to ashes to stop Trump’s America-First agenda.”
Another commenter called for accountability, demanding, “People need to go to jail!! This was a very real, very sinister, EVIL corruption of the judicial system of the greatest country to have ever existed! All for political points and gamesmanship!”
This explosive confession confirms what conservatives have warned about for years: the so-called “justice system” has been weaponized by partisan Democrats to wage a political war against President Trump — all while ignoring real crimes elsewhere and undermining the rule of law. The revelation calls into question the legitimacy of these prosecutions and demands a full investigation into how deeply the corruption runs within the Biden administration and its allies.
The left’s relentless “resistance” campaign against Trump didn’t end with political opposition — it evolved into an orchestrated legal assault designed to silence and criminalize a sitting president and his movement. Lisa Smith’s admission on national television tears away the façade of impartial justice and exposes the ugly truth behind the political vendetta.
For millions of Americans who believe in the rule of law and fair play, this scandal is a call to action. It’s time to hold accountable those who turned the justice system into a political weapon and restore integrity to America’s institutions. The fight to Make America Great Again demands nothing less.
