(Conservative Treehouse) — Too many people continue falling for this lawfare nonsense. Conservative Treehouse has been outlining what lawfare operations are all about since we deconstructed the Trayvon Martin narrative. Perhaps a reminder is useful.
Lawfare, in its most obvious construct, is not a legal approach per se, it is the intentional manipulation of the legal system to create the optics around information that is intended to be used by media to influence public opinion.

That’s what lawfare is all about, manipulating public opinion through leaks to the media. The leaks do not need to be truthful, accurate, or directly in line with the prosecution of the case; they are intended exclusively to manipulate public opinion.
Remember, on August 21, in another ridiculous lawfare operation, Special Counsel Jack Smith told ABC that Mark Meadows testified that President Donald Trump never attempted to declassify any information. That report was transparently false, yet the media ran with it and multiple alternative media promoted it. Pure nonsense.
In this latest lawfare effort, again from Smith, again to ABC news, again about former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, the claim is the special counsel granted Meadows immunity (that’s the hook), and that Meadows told Trump the 2020 election was not rigged or stolen.
Now remember, Meadows wrote about the rigged and stolen 2020 election in his book, so why would he undermine his own story by saying something completely the opposite to Jack Smith that is only coming out now? The Occam’s razor answer is: he didn’t. This lawfare story is all made up, fictitious, anonymous sources, manufactured to create a public impression.
Bolstering the likelihood that Meadows gave no such testimony, Meadows lawyers, when contacted by media, said the story is fake news. Yet again, everyone falls for it. This is how lawfare succeeds, and this is how Trayvon Martin’s fake and fabricated ear-witness girlfriend becomes the key witness and embarrasses the prosecution on the stand. From ABC:
Former President Donald Trump’s final chief of staff in the White House, Mark Meadows, has spoken with special counsel Jack Smith’s team at least three times this year, including once before a federal grand jury, which came only after Smith granted Meadows immunity to testify under oath, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The sources said Meadows informed Smith’s team that he repeatedly told Trump in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election that the allegations of significant voting fraud coming to them were baseless, a striking break from Trump’s prolific rhetoric regarding the election.
According to the sources, Meadows also told the federal investigators Trump was being ‘dishonest’ with the public when he first claimed to have won the election only hours after polls closed on Nov. 3, 2020, before final results were in.
‘Obviously we didn’t win,’ a source quoted Meadows as telling Smith’s team in hindsight.
NEW: “I told ABC that their story was largely inaccurate. People will have to judge for themselves the decision to run it anyway.” George Terwilliger, Mark Meadows lawyer, to CBS News, responding to new reporting “Ex-Chief of Staff granted immunity, tells special counsel he…

Jack Smith is not prosecuting a case; he’s trying to manipulate public opinion.
