Supreme Court decisions notwithstanding, most of us have operated under the believe that the laws apply to everyone, regardless of occupation, wealth or social standing.
Have laid down that predicate, let’s suppose Kamala Harris is elected president in November, defeating a former POTUS who faces numerous criminal indictments for actions he allegedly committed to overturn the results of the previous presidential election.
Does the president-elect call off the dogs, ordering the Justice Department to cease and desist in its probe of the former president?
Abso(freaking)lutely not!
Donald Trump has accused DOJ of hunting him down because they want him out of office. That, of course, is nonsense, covered in self-aggrandizing narcissism.
The high court earlier this year ruled that presidents are entitled to immunity from prosecution if the crime they commit falls in line with his action as president. Special counsel Jack Smith then reindicted Trump, resurrecting the indictments that were effectively rendered moot by the SCOTUS.
No self-respecting prosecutor is going to say his or her sole intent in pursuing a legal matter is to rid the world of a politician. I believe Jack Smith and Attorney General Merrick Garland are far more than merely self-respecting lawyers.
If this election turns out the right way in November, we will have a president-elect who once served as a district attorney, a state prosecutor and a state attorney general. Something tells me she won’t let up on the gas for a moment in bringing Donald Trump to justice.
Nor should she.
Watching hearings on the Bragg case and so called hush money and listening to judges being questioned, it seems as though those convictions will be overturned. There appears to be several illegal action on the part of the prosecutors and the judge. The big one being never disclosing the actual crime charges and lying to the jurors in the instructions about the charges. They used a different term regarding not disclosing the charges, but it’s basically the same thing.
You’re creeping me out. Are you some sort of internet stalker?
An Internet stalker because I follow your little blog? No more then! The hell with you and your blog!
Bill P. – You sound brilliant. I’m guessing barely made it through high school and likely works in a low skill environment? Did I nail it?
Billy – There was nothing complicated or illegal about that case. A jury of his peers listened to the evidence, deliberated, and found donald guilty. He listed porn star payments as legal feels, which cost his attorney a prison term he has now completed. Have you not noticed how many people involved with donald have their careers ruined or go to jail? These payments were illegal because they interfered with campaign laws. He did want this desperate sexual encounter to become public knowledge. He didn’t care if Melania knew about it. She’s known from day one the arrangement. I will marry you for your money, despite your age and limited attractiveness, in exchange for American citizenship and the freedom to never work and simply spend money. She was the First Whore. The only thing that made it legal was piece of paper….a marriage contract.
