Donald Trump was a much better president than I thought he’d be, though the bar wasn’t particularly high in that regard.
Now, though, he’s been indicted and will face trial for charges that, frankly, no one seems to be able to make much sense of.
It’s troubling, to say the least, particularly because the DA pressing this forward is part of the current president’s party and someone with an interest in stopping a leading challenger come 2024.
For many, though, this is just justice. “No one is above the law,” they argue, and I agree that no one should be.
Yet it’s funny how often that seems to be a one-way street.
We’ve seen numerous examples of people on the left breaking laws and getting a pass from even being prosecuted for it.
Over at American Greatness, Victor David Hansen has a number of examples.

2) Trump did not violate federal law, as did Hillary Clinton, by sending classified government communications on her own, through an unsecured home-brewed server.
3) Trump did not violate federal law, as did Hillary Clinton, by hiring—through three paywalls—a foreign national, who is prohibited from working on presidential campaigns, to compile a dossier to smear her presidential opponent.
4) Trump did not violate federal campaign laws, as did Hillary Clinton, by hiding her payments (as “legal services”) to Christopher Steele through bookkeeping deceptions.
5) Trump did not, as did Bill Clinton, use a crony to search out a high-paying New York job for a paramour in order to influence her testimony before a special counsel.
6) Trump did not, as did Bill Clinton, receive a $500,000 “honorarium” for speaking in Moscow while his wife, our secretary of state, approved a longstanding and lucrative desire of the Kremlin for North American uranium to be sold to a Russian consortium.
7) Trump did not, as did Barack Obama, promise Vladimir Putin that he would be “flexible” on “missile defense” if during his own reelection bid Putin in return would give him “space”. That quid pro quo arrangement led to the U.S. abandonment of key joint missile defense systems with Poland and the Czech Republic, and, reciprocally, less than two years later a Russia invasion, mostly unopposed by the United States, of eastern Ukraine and the Crimea.
8) Trump did not boast publicly, as did Joe Biden, that he used U.S. foreign aid monies as leverage to have the Ukrainian government fire a prosecutor who may have been looking into the Biden family’s efforts to sell influence to corrupt Ukrainian interests.
9) Trump did not, as the Bidens did, set up a family consortium to leverage monies from Ukraine, Russia, and China, on their shared expectations that he might soon run for and be elected president and become compromised. Trump is not mentioned, as is Joe Biden, in family business communications as a recipient of a 10 percent commission on such payoffs.
10) Trump did not, unlike Joe Biden, remove presidential papers—without any authority to declassify them—and leave them scattered and unsecured in a garage and various residences and offices.
And that’s only half of what he lists. Go and read the whole thing for more.
“No one is above the law,” they argue, and I agree that no one should be.
Yet it’s funny how often that seems to be a one-way street.”
It’s a one way street partially because the media in large part has been weaponized and is no longer impartial.
Information is a very effective weapon whether providing it in a slanted manner or withholding it all together.
It’s a slogan said by sheep that
doesn’t mean a damn thing.
Yeah But/
According to Stephen Greene, Presedent Trump attempted to defraud the government by (gasp) Overpaying his taxes.
Now tell me, what could be more dastardly than that?
“Hillary Clinton, destroying federally subpoenaed emails and devices in order to hide evidence.”
Pshaw! The very idea!
They Treat Trump like he is BELOW the Law.
He is supposed to be treated Equal under the Law.
There aren’t two sets of rules.
There are three.
One for Democrats.
One for the rest of us.
One extra special set of rules just for Trump.
No one is above the law...
Except the 2,000,000 ILLEGAL invaders crossing into the USA every year. They and their accomplices are definitely above the law.
If every f’ing lawmaker is in favor of allowing 2,000,000 foreigners to immigrate annually, change the f’ing laws to allow it!
And they wonder why people don’t believe them when they self-righteous spout “No one is above the law.”
***“No one is above the law” isn’t their cause. It’s not their mantra. It’s a lie they don’t bother to tell themselves but will happily tell you in hopes that you’ll swallow it.***
Bingo.
