If you’re not sure you can beat him, then disqualify him. Indeed, the
latest gambit by the left in their addled state of Trump derangement is
to weaponize the so-called insurrection clause in the Constitution’s
14th Amendment to wipe Donald Trump off the ballot. And it comes as
polls show Trump paradoxically gaining strength every time his enemies
figure out another novel legal theory by which they can arrest him for
criminal conduct – and now leading in a majority of recent polls. A
group of citizens in Colorado, backed by an ethics watchdog group, are
the latest to erupt with a frenzied initiative asserting that Trump must
not be allowed to appear on the 2024 presidential ballot in the Rocky
Mountain State – and several other states ruled by Democrats appear set
to make the same case. A trip all the way up the ladder to the US
Supreme Court appears inevitable.
While we are keenly aware of the lengths to which Trump’s
enemies will go to take him down, this latest initiative to employ the
Constitution in service of canceling the most popular Republican in the
country is most confusing. That’s because it comes after we’ve been
hearing for months on end about a very different grand plan cooked up by
Democrats for vanquishing
their mortal enemy. They once believed that arresting him – four times
to date, each time applying the law as never before – in order to stoke a
conservative backlash would lead to his nomination – and then, viewing
him as the most vulnerable Republican, they would defeat him in
November.
To Trump or Not to Trump
So, which is it? Do the
Dems still want to all but force Republicans to back the 45th
president? Or do they want him off the ballot?
Well, it now
appears they are not sure, and are in a state of panic because their
grand plan is not just failing – it has produced the opposite
of the desired effect: the growing perception that the transparently
political nature of the 91 charges leveled against Trump is overkill,
crying wolf, and most importantly, is making them look more corrupt than
the man they are constantly arresting. And for those who stubbornly
argue that the four indictments are from varying jurisdictions, and
therefore not coordinated by the White House, the timing of the federal
trial on January 6-related charges should remove any last shred of
doubt. The Obama-appointed judge has set the trial to begin the day before Super Tuesday,
the pinnacle of the presidential primary season. Apparently, the left
no longer even cares how nakedly political their use of banana
republic-style police power to silence and disqualify their political
enemy appears to the populace.
A
year after the start of WWI, President Woodrow Wilson addressed his
message to Congress and warned that the “gravest threats against our
national peace and safety” did not come from “other governments”, but
from “within our own borders”.
“Citizens of the United States,”
Wilson continued, “born under other flags but welcomed under our
generous naturalization laws to the full freedom and opportunity of
America, who have poured the poison of disloyalty into the very arteries
of our national life.”
Wilson, a notorious racist and a
supporter of the KKK who had contempt for a wide variety of other
peoples, likely had German immigrants, but not just them, in mind when he called for what would become the Espionage Act so that “we may be purged of their corrupt distempers.”
“I need not suggest the terms in which they may be dealt with,” Wilson concluded.
While
there were indeed pro-German terrorist conspiracies in those days,
including the Black Tom bombing which damaged the Statue of Liberty and a
plot to infect the country’s horses, the Espionage Act of 1917 went far
beyond prosecuting criminal activities. Wilson had sought, but not
received, the power to censor the press, he did get the power to censor
the mail.
Most of those prosecuted under the Espionage Act were
not terrorists, but political opponents of the war. They included
leftist socialists like Charles Schenck whose Supreme Court case birthed
the misleading cliche about “shouting fire in a crowded theater”, as
well as Robert Goldstein, a filmmaker whose crime was making a movie,
‘The Spirit of ’76’, about the American Revolution.
Also
prosecuted under the Espionage Act were members of the Watch Tower
Society for their religious pacifism. This was described as almost “the
only time in American history when almost all the leaders of a
denomination were in jail”.
When former President Trump was
indicted under the Espionage Act, he was being targeted by a law that
from its very inception had been created to suppress the political
opposition. While elements of the Espionage Act were watered down over
the years and only media hacks still quote “shouting fire in a crowded
theater” as if it were standing law, that hasn’t really changed.
Widely
loathed by liberals and leftists, who were justly often the targets of
it, the Espionage Act was mostly used against actual spies during the
Cold War. That changed dramatically under Obama who dusted it off and
used it to go after reporters and whistleblowers. A decade ago, the
Obama administration used the Espionage Act to target FOX News reporter
James Rosen.
The Espionage Act allowed Obama to use warrantless
wiretapping to bust leakers who were in many cases acting as
whistleblowers and trying to expose his administration’s misconduct.
The
abuse of the Espionage Act against reporters foreshadowed Russiagate.
Having realized how useful the package of national security tools could
be against political opponents in the press, the Obama administration
decided to go ahead and use them against Trump.
When Obama and
Clinton associates in the Justice Department targeted Gen. Flynn for
conducting preemptive diplomacy for the incoming Trump administration,
they explored using the Espionage Act and the Logan Act. The current
charges against Trump are not an unexpected development, they’re what
Russiagate was always about.
Power corrupts. And once the Obama
administration realized that it could use the Espionage Act to kill
unfavorable stories in the media, it was obvious that its members would
not stop until they had escalated to using it directly against political
opponents from Gen. Flynn to Trump.
Leftists used to hate the
Espionage Act, like all forms of government power, until they were able
to take control of it. And then, instead of being targeted by it, they
wielded it and, with the inevitably corrupt predictability of human
nature, used it to settle political disputes.
There are any
number of parallels between Woodrow Wilson and Joe Biden. Both men were
parochial narcissistic racists who ran as moderates only to rule as
radicals. And their public profiles seemed so absurd that their
opponents had a bad habit of underestimating them.
In a
foreshadowing of what could happen to Biden, Wilson became
non-functional in office and the country was temporarily run by his
wife, yet he went on dreaming of a third term in office.
Wilson, like Biden, might have also been thinking of using the Espionage Act to cover up his own corruption.
For
nearly a decade, Wilson had been conducting a secret affair with
another woman. Fearful of discovery, he sent her thousands of dollars, a
fortune by today’s standards, and drafted a partial admission of guilt.
Wilson had called for the Espionage Act earlier that year which would
give his administration the authority to censor the mail. It would have
been a convenient means of suppressing revelations about his affair that
might have damaged his reelection campaign.
Fortunately for
Wilson, former President Theodore Roosevelt, his 1914 election opponent,
had dismissed the idea of exposing the affair. “No evidence could ever
make the American people believe that a man like Woodrow Wilson, cast so
perfectly as the apothecary’s clerk, could ever play Romeo,” Roosevelt,
a barrel-chested man of action, had sneered.
By 1916,
Republicans, stuck with the uninspiring candidacy of Charles Evans
Hughes, appeared ready to take off the gloves and were trying to
aggressively get hold of Wilson’s letters. The version of the Espionage
Act that allowed Wilson to censor the mails, but not the press, may have
been a compromise to protect the use of the ‘nuclear option’ of the
affair.
Biden, likely unknowingly, followed in Wilson’s footsteps
by deploying claims of foreign election interference to suppress the
Hunter Biden laptop story during the election.
The abuse of
national security by Democrats to go after the political opposition is
not a new phenomenon. It’s been underway for over a century with the
Espionage Act.
Charging Trump under the Espionage Act is no
accident: it’s a proud tradition. It’s also a deeply corrupt and illegal
attack on the Constitution. But that’s the function that the Espionage
Act has served for over a century under Democrats. Corrupt
megalomaniacal Democrats like Wilson, Obama and Biden use claims of
national security to illegally investigate their opponents.
And
whether it’s Wilson’s affair with a married woman, Hunter Biden’s harem
of Uber prostitutes, or Joe Biden’s money from China, the Espionage Act
is a red flag for presidential corruption.
National security is
legitimate when it protects Americans from foreign enemies, not when
it’s used, as Wilson and Biden have, to target Americans under the
facade of national security.
You no longer control your home. Amazon does. “Hey kids, be careful. If Alexa hears you say the wrong thing, nothing in the house will work anymore.” They
say that a fool and his cloud are easily parted. We talk a lot about
deplatforming, but when a single corporation
doesn’t just control a site you use, but controls most of your life,
everything from your doorbell to your vacuum, your music and your
lightbulbs, and it decides that your politics are bad, you’ve got
problems. That’s exactly the situation that people put themselves in
when they
rely on Amazon or Google Home to control their smart home only to
realize that they no longer control their home. A touchy corporation
that celebrates Pride Month and BLM all year round does. Beware of offending it..................
As I read this I couldn't help but think of the infamous
Pavlik Morozov: Soviet Boy Hero, who denounced his father to the Soviet authorities, who eventually killed him. If you research this story you will find there's a lot of confusion as to what really went on, but, let's go with it because this we know for sure. He was used as a tool for Soviet propaganda as the example for all Soviet youth to rat out their friends and family. The only difference is now mechanical devices are listening on our conversations and reporting, to of all things, a corporation. One that's taken on the mantel of judge, jury and executioner.
I've tried to properly categorize his pieces by subject. Please enjoy Daniel Greenfield's "More From the Point" for this week.
A totalitarian state doesn’t have to be a place with a whole bunch of
new laws aimed at suppressing the political opposition. All that’s
really needed is the politically selective enforcement of existing laws.
ANTISEMITISM
Special Envoy for Antisemitism Explains Need to Get Into Bed With Antisemites -
“I know CAIR is problematic. It’s always awkward when you have to
explain how, as part of the price of fighting antisemitism, you have to ally with antisemites.
And the price of fighting antisemitism is limiting it to antisemites of
the right political persuasion............Actually, the main criticism
was giving the Nexus, a definition of
antisemitism coined by anti-Israel activists, side billing with the IHRA
definition. But certainly including CAIR was the toothpick on the ham
sandwich..........
BIDEN CONSEQUENCE
Did the $10M Bribes to the Bidens Really Come From Russia?-
“Obama was briefed on it. Joe Biden and Victoria Nuland were briefed as
well.” Russia and Ukraine, like sizable parts of the region, are an
extended
‘game of thrones’ of oligarchs and apparatchiks carving up the
resources of the ex-Soviet states, using bribes, corruption, and
force.The two countries are economically intertwined in complex and
messy ways. At RedState, Jennifer Van Laar makes the important point
that the recent revelations about Biden’s bribes were not just coming
through Burisma, a Ukrainian firm, but through an alleged Russian asset.............
Biden’s Suspicious Silence on Trump Indictment - He’s
laying low because he’s not the innocent bystander, he’s the criminal.
Let’s suppose for a moment that you are running for president and your
chief rival just got indicted. What should your response be?
A series of viral ads
A taunting press conference
Silence
Normally presidential candidates cash in on the missteps of their
opponents. Some of Trump’s GOP rivals may be nervous about going that
route, but there isn’t a single reason in the world for Biden not to.
He’s certainly not worried that Trump supporters won’t vote for him. And
yet there’s a suspicious silence..............
Biden’s DOJ Turned Trump’s Secret Service Detail Into Informants The bond of trust between presidents and Secret Service agents is being violated. The Obama strategy was to weaponize every
element of the federal government. The Biden administration, run by many
of the same people, are taking that strategy to the next level. Previously, I discussed how Jack Smith, the Clinton allied Special Counsel, had violated the attorney-client privilege of 3 Trump lawyers so far, bringing the total number of Trump attorney-client privilege violations to 5 so far. Even Trump’s Secret Service detail has been weaponized and transformed into informants................
DOJ Covers Up $5M Biden Bribe From Burisma While Indicting Trump
- “$5 million for one Biden, $5 million for the other Biden.” The
Biden Justice Department and its various arms were fighting to
keep a document alleging that Biden had accepted a $5 million bribe
hidden from the public. That’s the same DOJ that is ordinarily more than
happy to leak materials involving Trump and conservative targets to the
media. The DOJ and the FBI ignored a congressional subpoena and only
contempt charges provided limited access to the Biden bribe document.
The FBI claimed that it was following DOJ policy to protect
confidential sources. Except that the supposed concern for the
confidential source would suggest that Biden is not only guilty, but
that the money trail leads to some dangerous people. And yet little
follow-up work appears to have been done on the investigation. The apparent contents of the bribe document leaked once members of Congress were given access to it.........
CALIFORNIA IS AN ASYLUM BEING RUN BY THE INMATES
California Incentivizes ‘Transgendering’ Kids to Win Custody Disputes
- A steady flow of child cannon fodder for the woke culture war. Are
you in the middle of a bitter custody dispute? Just take your
kids to an activist therapist, declare them transgender, and then use
that as a weapon against your ex-husband or wife. This exciting new
development in destroying the lives of children comes to us from California.
Where else? A newly revised California bill would treat parents’
refusal to “affirm” their child’s gender identity as a violation of
health, safety, and welfare in the context of custody
disputes..............That’s just part of it. Baking this into custody
battles all but ensures a steady flow of
child cannon fodder for the woke culture war as parents prove how little
they care about the health, safety, and welfare of their children by
fast-tracking them to castration, mastectomies, higher risks of suicide
and all sorts of diseases to win a custody battle............
California’s Imaginary High-Speed Rail to be Powered by Solar - When your train is imaginary, it probably doesn’t matter what
fictional power source it runs on. Unicorns, happy thoughts, or solar
power. California’s high-speed rail, which started out costing $9
billion back in the 90s and is now set to cost $128 billion if it were
ever to be built, despite not actually being built, could just as easily
run on love or small children clapping. But solar is more popular now so they’re going with that...........
DEEP STATE CORRUPTION
The IRS Allows Eco-Terrorists to Crowdsource Harassment of Senators - Give them $1,000 and they’ll shut down an event while the IRS shuts its eyes...........‘Climate Defiance’ which is running a fundraiser to ‘Make Complicit Climate Cowards’ Lives F____g Miserable’. The ecoterrorist group which boasts of having
“fully shut down Joe Manchin’s keynote” and “made pipeline lover Amy
Klobuchar flee the stage at her own book launch party” is also pretty clear about what donors can buy by funding the environmentalist group...........
But Climate Defiance’s operations also share a funding platform with the DNC.............The Action Network, like Climate Defiance and Declare Emergency, is a
501(c)(4) and it shows the entanglement of the Democrat establishment
with the far Left even when its extremists are targeting Senate
Democrats and the White House for not adopting their full radical
agenda..............
.Its support for eco terrorism has never been subtle and the Freedom Center had previously exposed its funding of attacks
on paintings in Europe by Just Stop Oil. Like Climate Defiance and
Declare Emergency, Just Stop Oil engages in ‘direct action’ and made
headlines by splashing tomato soup on Van Gogh’s Sunflowers painting in
London’s National Gallery..........
The real Complicit Climate Cowards are in the IRS. Those complicit
climate cowards are the reason why art is under siege and events are
closed down. The IRS has ignored the law, allowed eco terrorists to
abuse the tax code, to destroy culture and intimidate elected officials...........The IRS............the same organization that sends
chills down the spines of ordinary taxpayers is terrified of using its
nearly limitless power to hold even the worst leftist nonprofit abusers
accountable...........
GREEN INSANITY
15-Year-Old Sues Montana Because State Has Too Many Trees - "Mica, aged 15, learned about climate change at the young age of four," Greta Thunberg has gotten old, literally (she’s 20) and politically
(she’s tiresome), time to bring on a fresh crop of victims to serve as
the fresh faces for the green litigation to destroy the economy and tax
us to death. Here’s the most sympathetic case that they’ve got in their lawsuit against Montana… for having trees. Mica, aged 15, learned about climate change at the young age of four, when his parents showed him the documentary Chasing Ice. This is what’s known as environmental child abuse. And political indoctrination of child soldiers..............
EDUCATION
Teachers to be Paid $150K in City Where Less Than Half of Students Are Good at Reading - New York City educators will get fat pay hikes and bonuses of up to 20%. Only money can fix education. Lots and lots of money. Dump trucks of
it dumped right in a giant hole in Randi Weingarten’s backyard where it
travels through the sewers into the coffers of top Democrats. When we pay our teachers like we pay NBA players, only then will
children get to the halfway mark at reading. Instead, we pay them like
WNBA players. For now, New York City schoolteachers must somehow survive on a miserly $150,000 a year..............
ISLAM
First Muslim Majority City in U.S. Bans Gay Pride Flags- “You can’t stop that.” Awkward, but running a rainbow coalition is
challenging. Black people initially dissented from the LGBTQ movement.
Lefties ignored the problem and waited for them to come around. They
figure Muslims are the same way and they can just outwait them. But that
won’t work. Islam is not just a set of cultural attitudes. And while
Islamists post-9/11 played the damsel in distress, the rainbow coalition
is now getting a dose of reality. After hours of debate and hearing from residents,
Hamtramck City Council has passed the resolution to ban LGBTQ+ Pride
flags unanimously. Hamtramck is the first majority-Muslim city in America. And the LGBTQ movement clashes with Islam..........Bad news for diversity.........How is a majority Muslim city diverse? It’s the opposite of diverse.............
Biden May Let Iran Collect Billions for Release of U.S. Hostages - “Iran
also expects the United States to unfreeze billions of dollars in
Iranian assets.” What’s worse than a formal deal with Iran? An informal
deal with the Islamic terror state. The enforcement elements on the
formal deal were mostly worthless and
put Iran on a track to nukes. You can only imagine how truly
spectacularly reliable they’ll be on the informal deal.................Islam does allow cease fires with infidels. But the cease fire only
lasts until the Islamic cause is in a position to annihilate the
infidels it reached a cease fire agreement with. The upshot of the deal is that Iran promises not to enrich uranium
beyond a certain point, will stop trying to kill Americans in Iraq, and
won’t aid Russia too much. In return, sanctions relief, as per usual. Also cash for hostages....................
UK Cops “Open-Minded” To All Explanations for Nottingham Rampage That Don’t Involve Islam - Mental illness. Obviously. Everyone is sad because a terrible thing happened in the UK. It’s one
of those terrible things that keeps happening ever since the UK decided
that its borders should be open… and there is no explanation for it................The attack is characteristic of Islamic terrorism in that it involved
a combination car attack and stabbing rampage. And that the killer’s
identity is being kept more closely than the crown jewels and Prince
Andrew’s romps with Jeffrey Epstein. The police however are keeping an open mind.............. JUSTICE
Unabomber, Linked to Biden Appointee’s Terror Group, Dies in Prison -Maybe Ted Kaczynski could have been in the Biden administrationTed Kaczynski, an eco-terrorist who waged a bombing campaign that
killed 3 people and injured many more, who studied at Harvard and taught
at Berkeley, is finally dead. The Unabomber may be gone but his legacy lives on. Ecoterrorists like
him have gone mainstream vandalizing art and terrorizing individuals. They’ve gone so mainstream that Earth First has a Biden appointee. And Earth First was the Unabomber’s north star.......
MILITARY
Woke Military Now Recruiting Non-English Speaking Migrants
- “The immigrants are not immediately put in jobs that require top
secret clearance.” After transforming the military from a force
defending the nation to a
woke culture war operation, recruiting dropped through the floor. But,
no worries, the Biden administration will fill out the ranks in the usual, “there’s always jobs at the Post Office” way by turning it into one giant useless welfare state.........
RACE
A Museum Pays the Price for ‘Blackwashing’ a Pharaoh - Americans cheer blackwashing history, other cultures don’t. Westerners line up to cheer the blackwashing of history, other peoples
are less enthusiastic. Netflix’s black nationalist depiction of
Cleopatra, a Greek ruler wrongly depicted as African, led to a major backlash in Egypt. But it was the decision by a Dutch museum with a prominent Egyptology collection to display this garbage that has come with serious consequences.......
TRUMP INDICTMENT, AND MORE
Getting Trump Once Again Required Killing Attorney-Client Privilege
- That is how prosecutors work in China and Russia. And now in
America. Attorney-client privilege went from a sacred trust furiously
defended
by lefty lawyers to just another “common misconception” when it came to
getting Trump. After targeting Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani, it’s no
surprise what the Clinton non-independent special counsel’s strategy was...........
Trump Prosecution Violates Attorney-Client Confidentiality by Targeting 3 Trump LawyersFive lawyers have had attorney-client privilege violated to get Trump. As I wrote earlier this week…It wasn’t all that long ago that the liberal legal
establishment was attacking the FBI for listening in on chats between
terrorists and their lawyers. Defenders of Lynne Stewart, who was
passing messages to terrorists on behalf of the Blind Sheikh, claimed
that the government had violated attorney-client privilege and the Fifth
Amendment by catching her in the act. Stewart’s indictment was
described as the ‘death knell’ for the right
to counsel. Meanwhile, Democrats repeatedly violating attorney-client
privilege to go after a sitting and former president is no big deal.
This began with Michael Cohen and Rudy Giuliani. Clinton Special Counsel
Jack Smith is now escalating by going after 3 Trump lawyers.................I don’t believe that there’s a single case where five attorneys for the
same defendant had attorney-client privilege violated. This is likely
unprecedented in American history...........Not satisfied with setting fire to the first and second amendments, the
leftist coup against the republic has decided to also burn down the
fifth amendment..........
Why Trump’s Espionage Act Indictment is A Manufactured Process Crime
- The difference between the Clinton emails and Trump’s papers is in
the investigation. The FBI’s warrant for its Mar-a-Lago raid invoked
the Espionage Act
which meant that we were always going to end up here. The focus on
Clinton ally Jack Smith’s indictment has been the Espionage Act despite
its obvious inappropriateness when it comes to a former president. The
Wall Street Journal spells out the problem............
Trump is Charged Under a Law Meant to Suppress Political Opposition - Democrats have used the ‘Espionage Act’ to silence opponents for over 100 years. A year after the start of WWI, President Woodrow Wilson addressed his
message to Congress and warned that the “gravest threats against our
national peace and safety” did not come from “other governments”, but
from “within our own borders”. “Citizens of the United States,” Wilson continued, “born under other
flags but welcomed under our generous naturalization laws to the full
freedom and opportunity of America, who have poured the poison of
disloyalty into the very arteries of our national life.” Wilson, a notorious racist and a supporter of the KKK who had
contempt for a wide variety of other peoples, likely had German
immigrants, but not just them, in mind when he called for what would become the Espionage Act so that “we may be purged of their corrupt distempers.”................And whether it’s Wilson’s affair with a married woman, Hunter Biden’s
harem of Uber prostitutes, or Joe Biden’s money from China, the
Espionage Act is a red flag for presidential corruption..............
Here are some of the latest posts by Dr. Michael Hurd from his web site, starting with this quote by Thomas Jefferson justifying America's rejection of British rule. I focused only on the issues demonstrating the tyranny and corruption surrounding the Trump indictment.
Dr. Hurd has a lot more to say about a lot of things so you may wish to review his posts. @ Dr. Hurd.com
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle
them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of
Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among
Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That
whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it
is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute
new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing
its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect
their Safety and Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that
Governments long established should not be changed for light and
transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that
mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to
right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the
same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism,
it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and
to provide new Guards for their future security.” Thomas Jefferson, 1776
If You Think It’s Just About Trump, You’re a Fool - It’s critical for decent people to understand: President Trump
was not answering to “the law” yesterday. There is no law — not at the
federal level. They are lawless. They are not just immoral; they are
totally amoral. They are subjecting Trump to THEIR law, which is the law
of dictators everywhere throughout history: In other words, to their
whims. They’re twisting and distorting existing laws — which are
actually civil matters, not criminal ones, civil penalties that never
were applied to cases where sitting or former Vice Presidents or
Presidents allegedly disobeyed them. As Trump pointed out, Bill Clinton
was sued for a violation similar to what Trump was accused of, and he
won the lawsuit.................
Once the Government is Weaponized, It’s No Longer a Government - Karen E. Gilbert, one of the lead prosecutors in Special Counsel
Jack E. Smith’s attempt to convict former President Donald Trump of
mishandling White House documents, is also a past campaign donor to
Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and the Democratic National Committee,
according to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC).
Is this even legal? It doesn’t matter. The laws of this banana
republic we still call America only apply to the disenfranchised–not to
the connected. We lost control of our government. The government was created to work
for us. We now work for it. The fools who say, “Well, I don’t like
Trump. He had it coming,” evade the principle involved. The principle is
that we are all supposed to be equal under the law. The laws no longer
apply to Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden or anyone in power. The laws DO
apply to anyone who challenges the people in power or who has bought
influence. Even when they didn’t break any laws. You don’t have to like
Donald Trump to see that his persecution means the persecution of ALL
dissension and opposition to The Party. It will not stop with Trump;
it’s starting with Trump.............
What Donald Trump’s Arrest Means for America -The media — specifically MSN — is freaking out. They’re running
stories declaring that “Trump supporters call for a civil war if Trump
is imprisoned.” Well, what the hell did you expect, snowflakes? The
point is not whether these stories are true, false or exaggerated. The
point is that the media — one gigantic propaganda machine for the
leftists and the Biden regime — wants you to think that. In one sense, it’s impossible to see how we can avoid a civil war,
assuming we’re not already in one. The government in power is — on this
very day — arresting the front-runner for their opposition party. Just
imagine if this had happened even as recently as the Obama years. And
one doesn’t have to imagine what would happen if Trump had arrested the
front runner for the Democratic nomination while he was in office...............
This corrupt indictment of Donald Trump has caused an amazing uproar, and it's making the left cringe at the consequences. A number of things have emerged that's obvious to the most casual observer. Trump is more popular than ever, and this must really rattle the left's cage, ‘Blacks for Trump’ Gather Outside Federal Courthouse to Support Trump.
And now there's no doubt we have a two tier system of justice in America, the deep state is corrupt beyond the pale, and this unending meme "no one is above the law" is going to come back to haunt them. Trump is being tried for a non-crime, but when the tide turns, and it will, Biden, the Clintons, and their deep state enablers have committed crimes. Was there collusion with Russia and Trump. No! That was a false narrative, and it appears it was a case of projection, because there certainly was with Biden.
Below are the latest articles dealing with this.
Why the Judge Who May Preside Over Trump’s Case Is Angering Democrats - Sarah ArnoldJune 11, 2023 - Democrats are angered by the fact that a Trump-appointed judge may preside over the former President's case. Florida
judge Aileen Cannon is facing heat for being listed on the summons for
Trump's Tuesday Miami appearance to face charges in federal court. Democrats are reportedly worried that
Cannon can blow the whole case since past rulings from her have slowed
the Department of Justice's investigation into Trump— which she banned
prosecutors from using the classified documents they seized from his
Mar-a-Lago home. ..........
It's Not Just the Usual Suspects Calling the Federal Indictment Against Trump 'Damning' and 'Devastating'- Guy Benson - Special Counsel Jack Smith unveiled a 37-count indictment against former President Donald Trump on Friday. Earlier that day, I'd written an analysis
explaining why the Hillary Clinton email scandal -- and the lack of
criminal charges it produced -- is relevant context to public
perceptions of the case now filed against the man who defeated her in
the 2016 election. I stand by my argument that her conduct was
approximately equivalent to Trump's in this realm. In fact, it was
arguably worse in the key respect of sensitive secrets actually
falling into the hands of hostile foreign powers. Trump's handling of
classified information was abysmally and even cartoonishly reckless, in
ways that we'll discuss below. .........
Trump, Felony Indictments, And The Storybook Ending That Will Never Happen- Scott Morefield
Jun 12, 2023 - Suppose you’re both a fan of Donald Trump and storybook endings. In that
case, you’ll likely envision the climax of the former president’s legal
woes beginning with his inauguration as the 47th President of the
United States and ending with him pardoning himself, freeing the J6
political prisoners, and personally sinking the Deep State, all while
putting his feet up on the Oval Office desk and eating a Big Mac on a
live Truth Social stream. It would be a pretty fitting ending for a
former president who, whether or not you think at least some of it has
been his own fault, has undoubtedly been targeted, reviled, and
persecuted more than any other modern political figure.
The Trump Indictment- Cal ThomasJun 13, 2023 - In reporting on news of a federal indictment of former president Donald
Trump, the UK Daily Mail posted a video of Joe Biden backing his
Corvette into the garage which contained boxes of classified documents.
But the next day the same publication reported on a leaked audio
recording on which Trump allegedly admitted he did not declassify secret

The War on Trump Continues
By Brian T. Kennedy - We are living in a political war the
likes of which this country has never seen. Politics is always filled
with lies and deceit. This is something different. The society-wide use
of political narratives, gaslighting, and disinformation designed to
confuse and disorient the American people is unprecedented. Now add to
this the indictment of President Donald Trump on charges relating to
classified documents—documents he had the unilateral constitutional
authority to declassify at his own discretion—and we see the
weaponization of government taken to new lows.
Law? What Law?
-
By Matthew Boose- The unprecedented federal indictment
of Donald Trump raises serious political and constitutional questions.
Is it prudent or fair for a prosecutor to interfere in a presidential
election in such an extraordinary manner? Is there a political motive
here, given the circumstances? Is it even a crime for a president of the
United States to possess classified documents? Officious liberals, and their fellow
travelers on the neocon Right, want to remove the case from its
political context. Trump is a criminal, they say. No one is above the
law. But if the law is enforced selectively, it ceases to be law and
becomes a hammer.
Democrats Abuse Trump; Republicans Protect Biden - By Jeff CrouereJune 11, 2023 -Eight years of abuse of President Donald Trump culminated in the 37 felony count indictment that was unsealed on Friday. The 49-page
document alleges the mishandling of classified documents after he left
the White House. President Joe Biden was found to have classified
documents at his
home, in his garage and in his office, which received communist Chinese
donations, and nothing has happened to him. In fact, the Special Counsel
named to investigate this issue has been quiet and has not even
interviewed.........
Six theses on the Trump indictment, part 3 - June 13, 2023byScott Johnson - I would like to get to the resonant number 95 in my theses on the
indictment of President Trump bu the Biden Department of Justice. Here
are six more. • Trump’s indictment is bad for the United States. It is
difficult to calibrate all the negative consequences at the moment, but
they outweigh whatever benefit can be cited on its behalf. • The Biden

Another Scam Indictment Against Trump - Garrett Ventry
Jun 12, 2023 - For the second time in just a few months, we have another politically
motivated indictment against Donald Trump. First, Alvin Bragg, the
Manhattan District Attorney, charged President Trump, reviving a zombie case and untested legal theory, raising charges to a felony from a misdemeanor for the sole purpose of “getting Trump.” Meanwhile, crime has skyrocketed
in New York, and his cashless bail policies let felony criminals back
on the street, proving the Trump charges were politically motivated.
Now, The Biden Justice Department’s handpicked special counsel is
charging Donald Trump. This comes on the day that Congress shined a
light on a document
in possession of the FBI, alleging that Joe Biden was paid and bribed
$5 million from Burisma, a company that his son Hunter Biden, who is
also under federal investigation, sat on the board. These weak charges
represent the latest attempt to weaponize the government against Donald
Trump to stop him from ever occupying the oval office again.

Trump surges in CBS poll - By Monica Showalter -
One can just hear
the Laurel and Hardy–style phone conversations among Democrats, such as
former President Obama and Joe Biden: another fine mess you've got us

TIPP Poll: Trump Boasts 36-Point Lead in Republican Primary - Hannah Bleau Former President Donald Trump is boasting a 36-point lead in the Republican primary race, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll found. The latest survey, released June 12, found Trump with a majority of Republicans supporting him — 55 percent. No other challenger comes remotely close, as Florida Gov.
Ron DeSantis comes in 36 points behind with 19 percent support. Notably,
the survey was taken one full week after the governor formally jumped
into the presidential race. Former Vice President Mike Pence, who announced his
presidential bid last week, came in a distant third, with seven percent
support...........
Trump Indictment: I Don't Like It- Christopher Chantrill- Needless to say, I don't like the indictment of Donald Trump for
mishandling classified documents. Oh, I get it. The very idea that the
middle class should nominate for president a guy that actually proposes
to rule in the interest of the middle class! The Horror! But, really, the indictment of a
candidate for president is not so much a misuse of political power but
an admission of weakness. If you can't head off a populist nationalist
candidate at the pass, dear liberal friends, and cruise to glorious
victory with a fine moderate candidate that unites all good Americans on
a platform to Make Things Better, then you have a problem..............
Trump Vows Special Prosecutor to Go After ‘Biden Crime Family’- Kristina Wong Former President Donald Trump, a 2024

and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD) to review the two new forms this
week. The original FBI informant file revealed the
alleged existence of two pieces of evidence showing President Joe Biden

Who's Destroying Civic Norms Again? Trump?- June 12, 2023 By J.B. Shurk - It's hard to believe how
many high-ranking government officials have been serving time behind
bars these last couple decades. Bill Clinton got caught selling
military secrets and influence to communist China in return for campaign contributions. Hillary Clinton got caught storing top-secret materials on an unsecured email server in a bathroom closet. Lois Lerner got caught using the IRS as a weapon for targeting conservatives and influencing the 2012 election. Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress for
withholding subpoenaed documents concerning the Obama administration's
transnational gunrunning racket. Barack Obama, Jim Comey, John Brennan,
and James Clapper were all thrown in the clink for spying on a political opponent's campaign and then covering up their illegal activities by framing the victim as a covert Russian agent............
Corruption confirmed on team prosecuting Trump! Reprimand cites secret recordings, failure By Bob Unruh June 13, 2023 - President
Donald J. Trump disembarks Marine One at Valley International Airport
in Harlingen, Texas, Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2021, to board Air Force One for
his return flight to Joint Base Andrews, Maryland.Corruption has been confirmed on the team of federal lawyers who are
prosecuting President Donald Trump over his handling of documents from

Judicial Watch: Top Hillary Clinton Aide Admits Under Oath that He and Clinton Used Unsecure Personal Email for Official State Department Business - Judicial Watch today released the transcript
of a court-ordered deposition of Jacob “Jake” Sullivan, Hillary
Clinton’s senior advisor and deputy chief of staff when she was
secretary of state, in which the top staffer admits that both he and
Clinton used her unsecure non-government email system to conduct
official State Department business. A full transcript of the deposition
is available here. Judicial Watch’s court-ordered
discovery centered upon whether Clinton intentionally attempted to
evade the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) by using a non-government
email system and whether the State Department adequately searched for
records responsive to Judicial Watch’s FOIA request. In the questioning, Sullivan admitted that he had used his personal
Gmail account at times for State Department business but denied that he
had sent classified information to Secretary Clinton’s unsecured
personal system............
Tapes and spies the FBI doesn't want us to know about -June 13, 2023
By Monica Showalter= Why is the FBI resisting release of a very unclassified document alleging Joe Biden's massive corruption? If there was ever a
case for transparency in government, the question of whether Joe and
Hunter Biden took $10 million in foreign bribes, from an actual Russian
intelligence asset, is that case. That accusation is what is being withheld
by the FBI to House lawmakers, who have legitimately asked for a
handover of a non-classified FD-1023 document from an informant they
consider "trusted" about Biden family corruption and the corrupt
foreigners behind it..........
Alleged Biden Briber Is Reportedly a Russian Intel Asset-
Spencer Brown -The plot of the Biden family’s shady business dealings continues to
thicken, one that Townhall has covered extensively. Now, there’s even
more information about the alleged bribery pay-for-action ploy that VP
Biden profited off of to, supposedly, the tune of $5 million.............
When
Barack Obama announced that he was unilaterally legalizing millions of
illegal aliens while further opening the border, he described it as
using “discretion about whom to prosecute”.
In the years since, pro-crime prosecutors have virtually dismantled the justice system in some jurisdictions by using their “discretion” not
to prosecute thieves, drug dealers and violent criminals. Some
prosecutors announced that they wouldn’t prosecute rioters and looters,
others that they would stop prosecuting prostitution, public urination
or thefts of under $1,000.
In the decade since Obama announced
his exercise in prosecutorial discretion, the country has been overrun
with criminals and illegal aliens who benefited from that “discretion”.
But prosecutorial discretion, like most leftist policies, works both ways.
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg issued a
‘zero day’ memo on taking office that told prosecutors not to seek
prison sentences for armed robbers. Bragg then labored to indict former
President Trump while bypassing such niceties as the statute of
limitations and the actual nature of the crime.
Such
prosecutorial discretion has become routine in New York where Attorney
General Letita James has championed criminal justice reform while
targeting not only Trump, but the NRA. Bragg’s predecessor, DA Cyrus Vance,
gave Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein a pass. He announced that he
wouldn’t charge former Mayor Bill de Blasio, but pursued Trump. After
refusing to charge BLM rioters or prostitutes, he made a point of
dragging a woman featured in a viral video into court because she had
called the police during a dispute with a black man.
But it’s also become normal at the federal level.
Hillary
Clinton and her aides mishandled classified information on a massive
scale. The indictment of President Trump contrasts sharply with the
treatment of Hillary, not to mention Biden who left classified documents
lying around his garbage. The Trump team will argue selective
prosecution, but the prosecution will argue that it can charge whom it
pleases.
And to some degree this is true. Prosecutors have no
obligation to charge Bob if they charge Jack. And Jack’s lawyers will
rarely even bother bringing up Bob in court unless he’s white. Most of
the major selective prosecution cases have relied on racial
discrimination and so, like most civil rights laws, they leave out the
political discrimination that has become the leading civil rights issue
of our time. Prosecutors don’t target black people, they do target
Republicans.
Prosecutorial discretion is meant to allow
prosecutors to bring their strongest cases. Instead, beginning with
Obama, it has created a two-tier justice system in which some forms of
crimes, despite their destructive impact on society, get a pass while
others that have minimal impact, are overcharged for purely political
reasons. Even offenses that are very similar are treated very
differently based on the political identity of the prosecutor and of the
defendant.
And that has made for two sets of laws: written and unwritten laws.
Written
laws matter very little. Whether a written law is enforced is subject
to the discretion and therefore the political agenda of the prosecutor.
That’s no longer a function of individual judgment, but political
alignment. Billionaire leftists like George Soros and Netflix boss Reed
Hastings have spent a fortune electing prosecutors that meet their
needs. A movement of political prosecutors has vowed to enforce, or not
enforce laws, for political reasons.
What matters are not the
written laws, but the unwritten ones of politics. Justice takes a
backseat to social justice. Criminals who clearly violate written laws
are not charged by the same prosecutors who indict political opponents
for process crimes or laboriously invent crimes.
“Show me the man
and I will find the crime,” Andrey Vyshinsky, Stalin’s prosecutor, had
reportedly boasted. Prone to speeches in which he declared that, “our
entire country, from small to old, is waiting and demanding one thing:
traitors and spies who sold our Motherland to the enemy, to be shot like
filthy dogs” and “down with these abject animals, let’s put an end once
and for all to these miserable hybrids of foxes and pigs, these
stinking corpses, let’s exterminate the mad dogs of capitalism, who want
to tear to pieces the flower of our new Soviet nation”, he dominated
the show trials of the Great Terror with political posturing.
Justice
depends on written laws. The Great Terror discarded, invented and
casually misapplied laws. As did its counterparts in Nazi Germany. The
unwritten law of the regime mattered more than the written law. And in
America, the unwritten law has come to matter more than the written. The
only law that truly matters is upholding the political agenda of those
in power and histrionics and theatrics are used in place of a rigorous
adherence to the written law.
Vyshinsky warned of an urgent
threat to Marxism and the Soviet nation, his modern counterparts clamor
that they are averting urgent threats to democracy on the one hand and
systemic racism on the other. The written law has failed and they
replace it with their unwritten laws to meet the manufactured
emergencies that they have created for just this purpose.
The
fundamental principle of the civil rights movement was that justice was
no substitute for equal justice. Political prosecutorial discretion
eliminates equal justice and replaces the law with an agenda. There can
be no equality and no justice if prosecutors pick and choose whom to
charge based on their politics. Even when their charges are grounded in
the legality of individual cases, the systemic double standard
eliminates the legality of those charges.
Only the consistent
application of the law serves as an instrument of justice. The legally
inconsistent, but politically consistent application of the law is
simply tyranny under the color of law. It is no more justice than only
handing out parking tickets to Democrats or Republicans. It would matter
very little whether the tickets were individually justified because
they would still be expressions of political repression, not an honest
enforcement of parking regulations.
Nothing undermines respect
for the law and trust in the legal system faster than when people
observe that they have become corrupt tools for the repression of
political opponents.
When Democrats freely defy subpoenas while
Republicans are arrested, when mishandling classified information is
only a crime for one party, when rioting isn’t a crime, but defending
yourself is, there is no law, only a totalitarian regime selectively
exploiting some laws.
The Left demands discretion for judges and
prosecutors to set aside the law for social justice. And then, when they
set aside the law for leftists and selectively throw the book at
conservatives, also in their discretion, we become a nation of men, not
laws.
A nation of laws, not men, does not allow prosecutors or judges to place their will above the law.
Prosecutors
who refuse to enforce the law consistently should be removed, impeached
or charged. There is no room for Vyshinskys or a two-tier justice
system in our nation.
Until we have one set of laws for all, not two, there will be no justice in America.
One thing is clear, this indictment of Donald Trump is nothing more than a Soviet style system of political intimidation, tyranny, and a precursor to more of the same, and worse. If They Can Do It to Trump, They Will Do It to You. I've been saving articles that clearly outline what is really going on, and it's not pretty.
Banana Republic USA Indicts Former President Trump – Let the Games Begin! by Ilana Freedman | Jun 8, 2023 - The federal bureaucrats in the Department of Justice and
the FBI have made the rules of the game obsolete and irrelevant. They
bend the rules or ignore them entirely, they lie, they cheat, and they
destroy whoever gets in their way. Donald Trump is their primary target,
and they have now crossed the line that once separated America from the
banana republics of the world.............
Trump did not violate the law because he could not violate the law - By Andrea Widburg - Those conservatives
rightly outraged at the Trump indictment keep comparing his treatment to
that given to Hillary, Biden, and Pence, each of whom admitted to
violating national security laws. That’s the wrong argument because
Trump is not similarly situated to those lawbreakers. Instead, because
he was president when he took possession of the documents, Trump cannot
be guilty of the crimes with which he’s charged. It starts with the Constitution, which
created three equal branches of government: The legislative branch (Art.
I), the executive (presidential) branch (Art. II), and the judiciary
(Art. III). As part of his authority as the nation’s chief executive,
the Art II president is also commander-in-chief of the military............
As the article points out if there is no underlying crime, there can be obstruction of justice charge, and nothing Trump did can be considered a crime.

REVEALED: Merrick Garland and Jack Smith Used Linguistic Tricks to Indict President Trump on Junk Documents Charges - by Jim Hoft The more you learn, the more you detest these lawless thugs. On Saturday, The Conservative Treehouse disclosed how Merrick Garland
and Jack Smith used a linguistic trick to indict President Trump on
junk documents charges. It’s well known that Merrick Garland is a serial liar and has committed perjury in front of the US Congress without consequence. Jack Smith, the far left partisan who Garland appointed as Special
Counsel, has a disturbingly lawless career. Smith had one case overturned by the Supreme Court for lying and withholding evidence. Smith was an instrumental player in the IRS conservative targeting scandal before the 2012 election. And like in many federal jobs, the more Jack Smith lied and cheated the further he advanced. And it appears Jack Smith is up to his old tricks.......The indictment accuses President Trump of withholding documents containing “classified markings,”
a very specifically deployed obtuse wording intended to create the
implication of something nefarious where nothing nefarious exists.....
The DOJ allegedly used coercion against an attorney working for a Trump defendant By Andrea Widburg June 11, 2023 - Gimlet-eyed
conservatives have noted a whole raft of things that are wrong with the
Trump indictment, including not only failed legal points but also other
dirty tricks. These include the DOJ’s leaks and its showing photos of all
the boxes that Trump had stored at Mar-a-Lago, even though only a few
documents lie at the heart of this legally and factually dishonest case.
It turns out that the DOJ has also threatened a defendant’s lawyer to
turn him against his client. ............As you may already know, Trump is not the only one the DOJ is
persecuting…er, prosecuting. The DOJ also filed charges against Walt
Nauta, a Navy veteran and Trump’s valet, accusing him of helping Trump
conceal documents. (Remember, you cannot be accused of being engaged in
or an accomplice to a crime if there’s no crime, to begin with.) As is
becoming the norm, it turns out that the DOJ is engaging in dirty tricks
as to Nauta, too............
BREAKING:
Biden’s DOJ Tried to Bribe Attorney for Trump’s Valet in Exchange for
Testimony Against Trump – Clearly Illegal Act That Threatens Jack
Smith’s Case Against Trump - by Jim Hoft On Thursday The Guardian reported that Joe Biden’s DOJ attempted to
bribe the attorney for Trump valet driver in exchange for testimony
against Donald Trump. Clearly, this is an illegal act and it should threaten the case against President Trump. The only criminal act in this entire case is the actions by the Biden DOJ!.........The lawyer for Donald Trump’s valet, under scrutiny in the Mar-a-Lago
documents investigation, has submitted court papers describing a meeting
at which a top federal prosecutor brought up his application to be a
judge when they tried to gain the valet’s cooperation last year,
according to three people familiar with the matter...........
Same Plot, Different Actors By Clarice Feldman
June 11, 2023 - Just as Hollywood seems
stuck on the notion of releasing new versions of once-popular films
using new actors, the corrupt Department of Justice seems to be using
the same tattered playbook once again in the preposterous and
ill-considered indictment of President Trump. Only if you saw the
originals, you know the plot tricks this time. I refer you to the Lewis “Scooter” Libby
and Senator Ted Stevens cases I’ve written about here. In particular,
the detailed account of the former case in the now defunct Weekly Standard. It was written in 2006 and is now in the Washington Examiner archives. ........
Clarice Feldman goes on to point out all this chicanery has not been the exception, it's been the rule at the DOJ, citing cases involving Valarie Plame, Richard Armitage, Lewis Libby. It was clear the Libby case was in reality an effort to "get" then VP Chaney. Then the Senator Stevens case, and how the DOJ helped get Obamacare passed in that case. The Mar-A-Lago raid was and example of DOJ corruption, and "the House Judiciary Committee has detailed the
irregularities of the raid on Mar-a-Lago and demanded answers and records from Attorney General Merrick Garland."
Jordan releases more details about FBI's scandalous raid on Mar-a-Lago - Cites FBI official who confirmed search did not follow standard practices - By Bob UnruhJune 9, 2023 - Just as the Joe Biden administration has revealed the indictment of
President Donald Trump for taking government documents from his
presidency with him when he left office, a congressional leader has
confronted that very same Department of Justice for anomalies in the
FBI's scandalous raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago home. It was that raid that allegedly sought classified documents in
Trump's home. He has said he declassified the paperwork that was there...............
Biden’s Gestapo Prepares Another Strike Against Trump by Rob and Andrew | Jun 9, 2023 After
Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – “They” are at it again. “They” are the usual suspects of Joe
Biden and his corrupt White House regime, which includes the DOJ, FBI,
and their propaganda arm, the liberal media. All are planning another
concerted attack on former President Donald Trump. This time Biden’s
regime has weaponized the DOJ under the direction of Merrick Garland’s
Federal Special Counsel, Jack Smith, to carry out their nefarious plan. According
to published reports, Smith’s team has contacted Trump’s attorneys to
notify them that he is the subject of a criminal investigation. This is
the first step taken before an indictment. Before the former
president’s attorneys were notified, there had been several leaks to the
media that he would be indicted. The indictment appears to be over
Trump’s handling of classified documents from the White House to his
private residence in Mar-a-Lago after he left office in 2020............
So, now we have to wonder, after all this corruption by the Biden administration just how strong a case can they make against Trump? Below are pieces which outline that.
ANALYSIS: How Strong Is the Case Against Trump?Tom Ozimek - Expert opinions and closer scrutiny of the indictment against former
President Donald Trump points to questions about the strength of the
case and the legitimacy of procedures around obtaining evidence, even as
the charges are serious. Trump stands accused of illegally hoarding classified documents at
his Florida estate after leaving the White House in 2021 and then lying
and scheming to thwart government efforts to get them back. The 49-page federal indictment charges
Trump with 37 felony counts, including violating the federal Espionage
Act and other federal statutes for allegedly conspiring to obstruct
justice, making false statements, and concealing documents................
Trump Indictment Fails Crucial Test: Dershowitz -The federal indictment against former President Donald Trump fails a crucial test, law professor Alan Dershowitz says.“It doesn’t meet what I call the Richard Nixon standard, which was
very clear obstruction of justice, destroying evidence, paying bribes,”
Dershowitz, a professor emeritus at Harvard Law School, said on Newsmax
on June 9 after the indictment was unsealed. “This is too close a case to bring against the man running for president, against the incumbent president,” Dershowitz added. Two paragraphs in the indictment do appear to meet the standard of
the planned prosecution of former President Nixon, according to the law
professor...............
Two Damning Paragraphs: Alan Dershowitz Dishes on Trump's Indictment -
The Justice Department’s indictment of former President Donald Trump is
still all the rage on the airwaves and interwebs. Members of the
chattering class have been chiming in, giving their two cents on the
matter. Renowned Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz recently offered his opinion
on the case during an appearance on Newsmax in which he indicated that
Trump’s situation is precarious, but his fate isn’t necessarily sealed.
"former RNC chair Michael Steele to the Lincoln
Project to George Conway, the various public figures did not hide their
joy upon hearing about the indictment while others, such as Jonah
Goldberg and David French, underplayed the indictment as standard
procedure, completely unperturbed by the fact that the DOJ has indicted a
former president."
But what are the long term consequences of this unprecedented and corrupt practice? These corrupt usurpers of justice are playing with fire. They've sown the wind and they're going to reap the whirlwind if they don't succeed. They're now in a situation they must now impose tyranny to survive. I'll come back to that.
"In the middle of directing the difficult task of transferring the historically important records of the Obama administration into the National Archives, the archivist in charge, David Ferriero, ran into a serious problem: A lot of key records are missing." "And yet the accumulation of recent congressional testimony has made it clear that the Obama administration itself engaged in the wholesale destruction and “loss” of tens of thousands of government records covered
under the act as well as the intentional evasion of the government
records recording system by engaging in private email exchanges." – “Crisis at the National Archives”
Now we come to my reaping the whirlwind comment. Now a precedent has been set. Going after a former President is just fine and dandy, even if no crime has been committed. And that's the rub isn't. Biden has been deep into criminal activity for many years. The "Big Guy" has been taking bribes to take positions on policy that are not in America's best interests, and even if they were, taking a bribe is a crime!
We keep hearing hypocrites like Comey intoning, "no one is above the law", and that's going to come back to haunt them. All this corruption of the rule of law is backfiring on Biden and his misfit crew. Polls show Trump is more popular than ever, meaning America knows this is nothing but tyrannous corruption be the Deep State. If Trump is re-elected make no mistake, he will appoint a mad dog in a meat market for his Attorney General. If, or when that happens, Biden, Hunter, the Clintons, Comey and that entire host of corrupt members of the Obama administration, even many at the FBI, DOJ, CIA, and NSA are going to have to face federal prosecutors for their criminal activity and it may even include Obama, because "no one is above the law", and his history is at best shady.
