2024 Election, Lawfare

By Rich Kozlovich

As I've been writing about the upcoming 2024 Presidential election I've saved a lot of articles with all the issues the candidates are facing, organizing them separately such as immigration, voter fraud, economics, the deep state, lawfare, and more.  Well, the problem is the source material is coming in fast, furious, and constantly, so, I've decided to organize them all as individual gazettes where I can keep adding articles dealing with each of issues individually, and link those gazettes to articles I'm writing as source material.  

 My intention was to do separate articles on each issue.   This is a foundational battle for the rule of law in America, and this is the direction the deep state is wanting to go, Navalny dead in the Gulag and Putin crosses a line, but it appears things are not going to go the way they're wanting.  

"Anti-Trump prosecutors made up statutes and contorted legal definitions to the point where they were meaningless to ensnare Trump. It’s a witch hunt, but Trump remains unfazed."

"Constitutional law expert Hans von Spakovsky stated “If Alvin Bragg had charged Donald Trump with illegally eating a ham sandwich, they would find him guilty, he is going to get a totally biased jury.”

Here's my gazette on Lawfare for the 2024 election.  With the advent of the SCOTUS decision regarding Presidential immunity, much of this is moot, but, it's still necessary for understanding just how Obama and the Democrat party corrupted the DOJ, the FBI, much of the judiciary, and prosecutors nationwide.  It also backfired, and this is going to come back to haunt them.  Again, and I know I'm repeating myself, but this is only the tip of a massive iceberg, so you may wish to view

Part 1, Third Reich  Lawlessness can coexist, even thrive, with laws, lawyers, judges and courts

October 1936: Berlin judges swear allegiance to Adolf Hitler saying, “I swear I will be true and obedient to the Fuhrer of the German Reich and people, Adolf Hitler, observe the law, and conscientiously fulfill the duties of my office, so help me God.

Lawlessness is a state of disorder due to disregard of the law.  That is an incomplete definition. For it neither takes into consideration the nature of the law disregarded, nor the vigor with which an unjust law is sometimes enforced.  Bad law, vigorously enforced, moves a nation toward tyranny.  Good law, negligently ignored, destroys respect for the law.   Very bad laws ruled Nazi Germany between 1933-1945. Few German lawyers and judges foresaw what was ahead Between 23 September 23rd - October 4th 1930, Adolf Hitler was the sole witness to testify before the German Supreme Court about whether the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP; AKA: Nazis) intended to attempt an overthrow of the government. The Court accepted Hitler’s two-hour denial as an “Oath of Purification”.  Adolf verbally baptized himself in the Innocence River............

Biden’s DOJ Harasses Trump With Another Court Filing in Classified Documents Case -  Joe Biden’s Justice Department on Friday harassed President Trump with another court filing in the classified documents case. The Justice Department filed a motion seeking to block Trump from releasing classified documents that will be shared with his lawyers. Judge Cannon on Thursday ordered Trump’s lawyers representing the former president in Jack Smith’s classified documents case to obtain security clearances. The protective order will be reviewed by magistrate judge Bruce Reinhart, who approved the initial FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago......

America Is Not Yet Rome, But Democrats Better Worry That It Is Going That Way - American men typically think about ancient Rome several times a day, but apparently, Democrats do not. They ignore history, probably because it consists largely of the doings and transpirings of dead white males, but they should not. Rome’s decline from greatness from its mythical founding by Romulus in 753 BC – I don’t do “BCE” – to its final death rattle in 476 AD, when a kraut warlord named Odoacer deposed the last Roman emperor Romulus Augustulus, is not a precise template for the USA’s arc of history, but if you are wise enough to listen you will hear echoes and feel familiar rhythms. ...

Lessons for the Future Republic By J.B. Shurk March 8, 2024 - Victor Davis Hanson and Dennis Prager are keen observers of American society.  Like honored physicians who examine the body politic for disease, they expertly diagnose what ails our country.  What they say and write matters.  It is significant, then, when both reach the conclusion that the United States is disintegrating.  In an essay entitled “American Paralysis and Decline,” Hanson begins by quoting Roman historian Livy: “We can bear neither our diseases nor their remedies.”  He then walks us through America’s open border crisis, unsustainable debt, epidemic of crime, and weaponization of the criminal justice system.  In every instance, he argues, Americans know that the disease is killing us, yet we lack the courage to choose the proper remedy.  Instead, our tormentors bully us into submission with meaningless taunts that we are politically incorrect, racist, nativist, uncaring, cruel, or bad Christians.  As the Roman Republic collapsed in Livy’s time, Hanson worries that the American Republic will fall during his.  When societies “are so paralyzed by their fear that the road to salvation becomes too painful to even contemplate,” he concludes, “they implode gradually, then suddenly.............

 Our Republic--Our Electoral College We only have to decide whether we want to live free and safe under our Constitution or live in slavery and danger under Socialism. It is our decision!! Can America survive as one country? If so, what will it take? This battle is about survival: Will we remain one country or succumb to Balkanization? Like it or not, and doubtless counterintuitively to his lefty critics, Donald Trump is our last and only opportunity and chance to avoid cataclysm............

American Paralysis and Decline Victor Davis Hanson  Mar 01, 2024 “We can bear neither our diseases nor their remedies."So shrugged the ancient historian Livy (59 B.C.-17 A.D.) of the long decline of Roman national character that, in his age, finally ended the Roman Republic.Like a patient whose medicine proves worse than the disease, Livy lamented that the Romans knew that they had become corrupt and lawless.But the very contemplation of the hard medicine needed for restoration -- and the furious reaction that would meet the remedy -- made it impossible to save the patient.America is nearing such an impasse. We know that no state can long exist after opening its borders to over 7 million illegal aliens, requiring neither background checks nor legality. ........

On the Trump Verdict - My job is to synthesize political developments and analyze them.  I'll confess that right now, I'm at a loss.  We've encountered countless highly unusual or unprecedented moments in our politics over the last eight years or so -- but this one is unlike anything we've ever witnessed.  Quite literally.  A former President of the United States, and a current leading contender for the presidency, has been convicted of 34 felonies by a New York jury......

Former President Donald Trump was found guilty of all 34 counts, though what he was precisely guilty of remains a whole other matter, which Honig noted in New York Magazine and on the air. ......

Democrats Deserve Everything Bad That Comes Their Way…And More -  I haven’t liked them for a while now, but after this garbage involving former President Donald Trump and their hypocrisy about the “respecting the justice system” while the President brags about defying the Supreme Court on student loans and they all try to smear conservative Justices at every turn has me now thinking I wouldn’t give them the Heimlich Maneuver if they were choking, or even pee on them if they were on fire. Democrats truly are disgusting...........
Democrats’ Bogus Lawfare Takedowns Rooted In Fear and Loathing - President Trump said it best following the predictable verdict issued Thursday by a liberal Manhattan jury following a six-week trial led by a compromised judge and a prosecutor who campaigned on indicting the 45th President. “If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone…I’m willing to do whatever I have to do to save our country and save our Constitution.

A defense strategy for the case of NY v. Trump - April 29, 2024 By Howard J. Warner - The sham trial in NYC being orchestrated by DA Alvin Bragg against Donald Trump is designed to keep Trump off the campaign trail and further salacious material to create more doubt about him in the minds of undecided voters. The judge, Juan Merchan, is an acting Supreme Court judge, appointed to this position by the Administrative Chief Judge Ann Pfau and selected for this case since he has presided over other Trump cases. Though I am not a lawyer, the obvious failings of this case are numerous. I propose to outline a strategy for a not-guilty verdict instead of a hung jury......

Anatomy of a Kangaroo Court, Kurt Schlichter - The Donald Trump New York City farce is on the way to being over. The prosecution (at least) rested after what would’ve been a disastrous performance by Michael Cohen in any other trial, but the standard rules don’t apply here because this is not actually a trial. This trial has nothing to do with law. It is a scummy attempt to frame a political opponent of the Democrats to keep him from winning an election against the desiccated old pervert in the White House. Normally, a jury would laugh this case out of court, except that it would never have been in court had the defendant been named Tronald Dump. Everything about it is a lie and a scam, and as soon as you understand that you will understand this disgraceful case.

And CNN just does his bidding. CNN lies, lies through their teeth about what happened in court yesterday between Judge Merchan and Bob Costello. Bob Costello testifies, Merchan rules against him at every point, keeps out his testimony, makes outrageous rulings that any first-year student taking evidence would know was wrong."........

Trump’s “Hush Money” Prosecution Is a Bogus Case by a Bogus Prosecutor - There are many reasons why legal experts are questioning the legitimacy of the criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump.

“The Gag Order Has to Come Off”: Trump Slams Gag Order in Alvin Bragg’s Falsified Documents Case - Speaking ahead of Friday morning’s court session in Manhattan District Attorney Alivn Bragg’s falsified business documents case, Donald Trump criticized the "rigged" trial brought against him and the "unfair" gag order placed on him by Judge Juan Merchan.  "As you know, I’ve been saying for a long while this is a rigged trial, it’s coming from the White House," Trump began.

Many, many others have since followed Stalin’s lead. Current notable examples include the recent murder of Alexei Navalny in prison in Russia; Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido, who fled that country in late 2023 after his arrest was threatened by the Maduro regime; and Pakistan’s former Prime Minister and current opposition leader Imran Khan, convicted in January 2024 of “disclosing a state secret” and sentenced to 10 years in jail.

Trump Must Pay Half a Billion Dollars Before He Can Appeal New York DecisionJoel B. Pollak Former President Donald Trump must pay nearly half a billion dollars as a bond to New York State before he can appeal the ruling by Judge Arthur Engoron last week that he must pay $354 million in fines — over $450 million, with interest — for fraud. Critics have noted that Trump is the only person ever to be sued under an obscure New York fraud statute that does not require any harm be done, and that effectively criminalizes the everyday practice of real estate valuations in negotiations with banks. Though Attorney General Letitia James — who ran for office promising to target Trump — claimed that no one is above the law, her case against Trump marks the only such case in the history of the state. And the staggering fine is likewise unprecedented. Jonathan Turley points out another astonishing fact at the New York Post: before he can appeal, Trump must pay the whole fine:

Under New York law, Trump cannot appeal this ruling without depositing the full amount, including interest, in a court account. Even for Trump, $455 million is hard to come by. Likewise, a bond would require a company to guarantee payment for a defendant who has been barred from doing business in New York and is facing the need to liquidate much of his portfolio.

Nothing succeeds like excess for judges like Engoron. By imposing this astronomical figure, he can make it difficult or impossible for a defendant to appeal, absent declaring bankruptcy or selling off assets at distress prices.

The excessive fine and its basis raise serious statutory and constitutional questions. Many of us believe it should be substantially reduced or tossed out entirely.

Engoron also refused to allow Trump to mount any defense, declaring Trump guilty via summary judgment for the state.......

They have destroyed public trust in the justice system, presidency, and Congress, and they are currently using the justice system to prosecute their political opponents. .......

Decoding New York’s Legalese: President Trump Was Wrongly Prosecuted and Convicted  - By Owen JP Murphy  June 28, 2024 -  The corruption of the law in the Manhattan case against President Donald J. Trump should shock every American, and the devil is in the details of the law,  the prosecution, the judge, the jury, and the conviction. There were two financial accounts referred to in the prosecution. The first is a revocable trust fund for Donald J. Trump which was created just after he became president, and the second is the personal account of Donald J. Trump. The indictment indicates that Trump received invoices from Michael Cohen where each invoice was then added to the general accounting ledger with a voucher number, and then a check was issued to pay each invoice................Now there is a good case for using the Penal Law 175.10 to prosecute the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign organization. The campaign headquarters was located in Brooklyn in 2016, and the campaign organization along with the Democratic National Committee were fined $113,000 by the Federal Election Commission for falsifying the record of payment to the law firm Perkins Coie. The campaign organization reported the payment as legal expenses when in fact at least some of the payment was remuneration for Fusion GPS and the Steele Dossier............
