In a move that exposes the blatantly political nature of the weaponized prosecutions against President Trump, former special counsel deputy J.P. Cooney has announced his run for Congress in Virginia.
Cooney, who served as one of Jack Smith's top lieutenants in the failed witch hunt against Trump, is now seeking to parlay his role in the Deep State's lawfare campaign into political office. The announcement comes just weeks into Trump's triumphant second term, after voters decisively rejected the Democrats' weaponization of the justice system.
From Prosecutor to Politician
The timing couldn't be more revealing, Patriots. Here's a man who spent months trying to criminally prosecute the man who would become the 47th President of the United States, and now he wants Americans to send him to Congress? The audacity is breathtaking.
This move proves what we've been saying all along – the Trump prosecutions were never about justice. They were about political power. Cooney and his cohorts in Smith's office weren't serving as impartial prosecutors; they were Democratic operatives with law degrees, using the full weight of the federal government to try to stop Trump's political comeback.
"The American people saw right through this charade, which is why they elected Trump in a landslide and gave Republicans control of Congress," said one GOP strategist familiar with Virginia politics.
Now that their lawfare scheme has collapsed spectacularly, Cooney is attempting to cash in on his role in what history will remember as one of the most disgraceful chapters in American jurisprudence.
Virginia Voters Deserve Better
The question Virginia voters must ask themselves is simple: Do you want to send someone to Congress whose claim to fame is trying to jail the duly elected President of the United States on trumped-up charges?
Cooney's candidacy represents everything wrong with the Washington swamp – corrupt prosecutors who abuse their power for political gain, then expect to be rewarded with higher office. It's exactly the kind of Deep State corruption that Trump was elected to drain.
Will Virginia Patriots reject this desperate attempt by a failed Trump prosecutor to rehabilitate his career, or will they send a clear message that weaponizing justice has consequences?
