Incarnate Evil: The Lawfare Attack Upon Marine Le Pen, By Richard Miller (Londonistan)
There has been outrage expressed by President Trump and other populist leaders across the world at the judgement against Marine Le Pen, which sees her getting two years jail, plus two more under house arrest as well as being banned from running for president in 2027, being the number one contender. As Trump said, it is simply what happened to him, lawfare by the corrupt state and judiciary to wipe out an opponent. As Dr Malone says: "
Macron's judges took claimed finance violations and turned it into a criminal complaint to bar his populist opponent from being able to challenge him. Presidential candidate Marine Le Pen's staffers were being paid by the EU to work with MPs. But they commingled work processes and worked for French MPs too. This is not embezzlement. This is a finance violation. It should never have ended up in a court of law.
Macron is evil - he arranged for this court verdict by choosing a close ally as the judge of Le Pen's court case. Marine Le Pen, who heads the National Rally (RN) party was convicted of embezzlement and barred from running for public office for five years, sentenced to four years in prison, with two years suspended and two under house arrest, and was fined €100,000 ($108,000).
To be clear, this court case was based on a technicality - the EU claimed she used money meant to hire one category of employee, and instead, they claim she and other party officials hired people to work on national issues. The EU claims that money intended for European Union parliamentary aides was used to instead pay for staff who worked for the national party issues - between 2004 and 2016. So, just like the lawfare used against Trump, they used finance violations that mainly occurred over two decades ago to take down the opposition party to Macron.
The decision effectively removes her from the 2027 presidential race, where she was seen as a leading candidate. So broad are the political implications that most of Le Pen's opponents said the Paris court had gone too far.
This is the same France that has imprisoned the CEO of Telegram because he permits free speech.
Macron has become a dictator."
Assuming that there is still some justice left in French courts, which is a very big assumption, here goes my case as attorney for Le Pen:
Ladies and gentlemen of the court, esteemed justices, I stand before you today as counsel for Marine Le Pen, leader of the National Rally, a woman unjustly accused, unfairly convicted, and now facing a disproportionate punishment that threatens not only her liberty but the very democratic fabric of France. My client has been charged with embezzlement—a grave accusation—yet the evidence and the context reveal this to be nothing more than a technical financial irregularity, weaponised through lawfare to silence a political opponent. I will demonstrate that this case lacks the substance to justify a criminal conviction, let alone the draconian sentence of imprisonment, house arrest, a €100,000 fine, and a five-year ban from public office. This is not justice—it is a politically motivated travesty.
Let us begin with the facts. Between 2004 and 2016, the European Parliament allocated funds to hire parliamentary assistants for its members, including those from the National Rally, then known as the Front National. The prosecution alleges that my client, along with eight party colleagues and twelve aides, misused over €4 million by employing these assistants to work on national party matters rather than strictly European parliamentary duties. They call this embezzlement—a term implying theft, personal enrichment, and deceit. But where is the theft? Where is the enrichment? The evidence shows no such thing. These funds did not line my client's pockets or those of her associates. They were used to pay staff who performed legitimate work—work that, yes, sometimes crossed the blurry line between European and national political activities. This was not a crime; it was a common practice.
Consider the reality of political life in the European Parliament. Assistants are not robots programmed for a single task. Their roles are fluid, their work interconnected. Across Europe, from France to Germany, parliamentary aides routinely assist with both EU and national party efforts. Franziska Brantner, co-chair of Germany's Green Party, has done it. Countless others have too—without facing criminal charges. Until recently, this commingling was an open secret, tacitly accepted because the distinction between party and parliamentary work is often artificial. My client's staffers advised French MEPs on European issues while also supporting the broader goals of the National Rally—a patriotic movement rooted in the same electorate. To call this embezzlement is to criminalise the messy, practical nature of political organizing. It is a stretch so far it snaps.
Now, let us examine intent. Embezzlement requires a wilful intent to defraud. Where is the proof of that? The prosecution offers none—no secret bank accounts, no lavish spending, no whistleblowers exposing a scheme. Instead, they rely on inference, claiming my client "orchestrated" a system. But what system? Paying staff to do their jobs? The work was real—policy papers written, campaigns supported, constituents served. The EU may dislike how the funds were allocated, but that's a bureaucratic dispute, not a criminal conspiracy. If this court deems it a violation, fine—issue a reprimand, demand repayment. But to leap from an administrative error to a four-year prison sentence and a political ban is absurd. It defies reason and precedent.
Precedent, yes—let's talk about that. When has a case like this ever landed in a criminal court with such stakes? Financial irregularities by politicians are typically handled through audits, fines, or electoral penalties—not handcuffs and ankle monitors. The prosecution's own narrative admits these alleged acts spanned 2004 to 2016—some over.two decades ago. Why now? Why this timing, just as my client leads the polls for the 2027 presidential election with over one-third of French voters behind her? The answer is clear: this is lawfare, a calculated strike by a faltering regime to eliminate its strongest challenger. Emmanuel Macron's administration, riddled with its own scandals—McKinsey overpayments, Uber lobbying—fears the will of the people. They've chosen a judge, a close ally, to deliver a verdict that reeks of bias. Even my client's political foes, from across the spectrum, have decried this ruling as excessive. When the opposition unites in unease, you know something's rotten.
The sentence itself is a scandal. Four years—two suspended, two under house arrest—plus a €100,000 fine and a five-year ban from office, effective immediately. No delay for appeal, no chance to clear her name before her political career is torched. This isn't punishment for a crime; it's a guillotine for democracy. My client has dedicated her life to France, to its sovereignty, its people. She's no thief—she's a patriot. The National Rally's work, supported by these aides, has been transparent: fighting for French identity against globalist erosion. To bar her from leading that fight based on a paperwork dispute is to disenfranchise millions who see her as their voice.
In defence, I submit: there is no embezzlement here—only a technical breach, if that. There is no intent to defraud—only a practical overlap of duties. There is no justice in this verdict—only politics masquerading as law. I urge this court to overturn the conviction or, at minimum, reduce it to a fine and lift the ban. Let the French people decide their future in 2027, not a biased bench. Anything less mocks the Republic's promise of liberty. My client deserves acquittal—or at least a fair fight at the ballot box, not a rigged one in the courtroom. The evidence is weak, the punishment is cruel, and the motive is transparent. Justice demands you set her free. Thank you.
