This episode examines the selective enforcement of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) during and after the Trump presidency, arguing that it was weaponized against Republicans. The author highlights the disproportionate prosecution of individuals associated with Trump compared to those connected to Democrats, citing the cases of Paul Manafort and Hunter Biden as prime examples of this alleged disparity. The piece contends that this selective application of FARA constitutes a grave abuse of power, undermining the principles of equal justice and transparency. It further suggests that the law's ambiguity has been exploited for political gain, ultimately eroding public trust in the legal system.
