NYT Columnist Wants Democrats To Drain Trump Allies’ Bank Accounts

If Democrats secure victory next Tuesday, Jamelle Bouie, a New York Times columnist, urges them to initiate the reconstruction of American democracy while keeping the rule of law central. His specific plan starts with a shocking proposal to drain Stephen Miller’s bank account. Bouie laid out these ideas in a Wednesday op-ed titled “Trump Cannot Be the End of the Story.”

The Federalist reports that Bouie proposes establishing a civil cause of action targeting officers within the executive branch. Such a measure would enable victims of abuse to pursue federal officials in court to recover damages. He argues that officials like Miller should have their accounts drained if they cannot be held criminally accountable. The objective involves employing lawfare against individuals in the president’s circle, even when criminal prosecution appears difficult to obtain.

Lawfare Targets Family And Staff

Bouie’s call for financial ruin comes alongside other aggressive Democratic threats. Citing The Federalist, Democrat Senate candidate Angie Nixon stated that her Republican opponent, former Florida attorney general Ashley Moody, ought to be “locked up and punished in jail.” Nixon told CBS’s Face the Nation that her comments were designed to hold corrupt politicians accountable.

Other figures are also pushing for investigations into the Trump family. The Federalist reported that Jennifer Welch has fantasized about investigating Barron and Tiffany Trump. Senator Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.She claims this individual is threatening to ruin the careers of young conservatives who worked for the Trump administration. She wants to send a message of “deterrence” to anyone considering a government job.

Bouie even suggests that Democrats should ignore pardons already issued and pursue criminal charges anyway. He wants to limit future presidential pardon power through a constitutional amendment. If that fails, he urges Democrats to think creatively about pardons given to Jan. 6 rioters or those with the president’s ear. This approach treats legal accountability as a tool for political revenge.

A Strategy Of Anger And Fear

This push for financial and legal destruction targets the reader’s community and values. It seeks to punish anyone who supports the current administration with loss of money and freedom. The Federalist notes that these wishes come on the heels of other threats to destroy careers. The aim is to make every young conservative think twice before taking a government job.

The strategy relies on keeping specific groups angry and scared. Carrie Gress informed The Federalist that as far back as the 1890s, socialists realized women were more politically effective when angry, leading them to invent consciousness raising, a precursor to today’s woke movement. She argues that Democrats use emotional indoctrination to energize voters against the “evil patriarchy of Western civilization.”

Bouie’s plan is not about justice; it is about using the courts to bankrupt political enemies. He explicitly states that if criminal accountability isn’t an option, then drain their bank account. This is what reconstructing democracy means to him. Citizens ought to reconsider before granting Democrats the authority to inflict such actions upon their neighbors. The next step is the election, where these threats will face a direct vote.
