## Resource

Roger Stone and former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich discuss what they describe as the systemic weaponization of the American legal system against political outsiders. Blagojevich, who portrays himself as a traditional Democrat, recounts his own imprisonment as the starting point for a broader pattern of "lawfare" that he and Stone believe was later used to target Donald Trump. Central to their argument is the allegation that Barack Obama and various deep-state actors engaged in a cynical and hypocritical abuse of power by fabricating the Russian collusion narrative while claiming to protect institutional norms.
