In recent discussions on Thursday’s WarRoom program, prominent conservative figures Steve Bannon, Matt Boyle (editor of Breitbart), and Jim Hoft (editor of Gateway Pundit) each voiced concerns about the alleged weaponization of the Judicial system against conservative media and figures. Their discourse focuses on what they describe as a coordinated effort by Joe Biden’s Department of Justice (DOJ) and other governmental bodies to suppress conservative media voices, particularly those supporting President Donald Trump.

“We have no government power… We’re just doing information and putting up stories and getting guests on. They hate us because we’re helping drive the fact that President Trump is going to take over again,” Bannon said about the threats that face the WarRoom. 

During the program, Bannon and Boyle’s conversation centered on what they see as the systematic attempt to undermine Trump and his allies. Boyle, referencing an article published by Breitbart, argues that the legal actions against Trump are orchestrated by the Biden administration. He points to a series of events on November 18, 2022, as evidence of this coordination. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith as special counsel on this day. He reported that Nathan Wade, the lead prosecutor on the Georgia case against Trump, spent eight hours at the White House.  Boyle added that another suspicious thing happened when Matthew Colangelo left the DOJ to join the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, pursuing charges against Trump.

Boyle suggests these actions were set in motion by Biden’s statement on November 9, 2022, in which he vowed to use “constitutional and legal means” to prevent Trump from returning to the presidency. Boyle argues this signifies an overt use of governmental power to target a political opponent and leads him to call for equal justice, which he differentiated from the media’s use of “retribution.”

Hoft also appeared on Thursday’s program and added a personal dimension to Boyle’s allegations, detailing the legal pressures that media giant Gateway Pundit faced.  Hoft describes being subjected to intense scrutiny and lengthy legal questioning by what he suspected was a DOJ influenced trustee during his Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.

Hoft claims this is part of a broader strategy to cripple and legally harass conservative media outlets financially. Hoft recounts that Gateway Pundit has been embroiled in lawsuits, such as those brought by individuals like Ruby Freeman and Shea Moss, who sued over Gateway Pundit’s coverage of alleged ballot tampering during the 2020 election.

Hoft suggests that the DOJ’s actions are not routine legal processes but targeted attempts to stifle dissent and prevent critical stories from reaching the public. He told Bannon that he believes these legal challenges are designed to be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, effectively silencing outlets that cannot bear the financial burden.

The discussions among Bannon, Boyle, and Hoft highlight a growing sentiment among many conservative circles that legal and governmental institutions are being misused to target political adversaries. Those people argue that these actions represent a legal strategy and a broader political maneuver to influence upcoming elections and maintain control over the political narrative.

Boyle emphasizes the importance of winning upcoming elections to counter these efforts, suggesting that a Republican sweep in future elections would allow for greater transparency and accountability regarding the misuse of power. He calls for a concerted effort to ensure that justice is applied equally, without political bias, and that those responsible for misconduct are held accountable.

The allegations of lawfare presented by Bannon, Boyle, and Hoft reflect deep-seated concerns about the impartiality of legal and governmental actions in the current political climate.
