The indictment of President Trump: A test of the Republican Party's resolve
American Thinker ^ | 31 Mar, 2023 | Timothy Jankowski

Strike back hard and soon.

For several years now, people on the political right have been warning those on the left not to keep poking the bear or they would find out the hard way what happens. Well, so far all that has happened is that, after repeated poking, the bear has learned how to put on a pink tutu and ride a unicycle. Democrats have weighed and measured the Republicans and found them wanting. They now know it is a hollow party of frightened men and women who invoke “principles” to cover for their cowardice and inaction and know they can do whatever they want without fear of retribution.

The indictment of President Trump by the Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg will determine once and for all whether the Republican party is willing to fight to preserve our country, or will tell their friends to “hold them back” as they pretend to throw punches at a much bigger foe.

Republican reaction to this indictment should be swift and it should be substantial. The most immediate step they could take would be to have the House impeach one or more federal judges. Ideally it would be a judge from the Southern District of New York, one friendly with Chuck Schumer, or one of the judges presiding over the January 6th trials. No need to worry about the charges, for as Democrats explained during the first Trump impeachment, “high crimes and misdemeanors” can be whatever Congress decides it is.

In the case of a judge like Emmet Sullivan, for example, he could be impeached for “obstruction of justice” for failing to drop a case that the DoJ indicated they were not willing to prosecute. But something like failure to file paperwork on time, not clearing a docket

Doesn’t the House have a jail cell? McCarthy could use that one for Merrick Garland for lying to Congress. And just let him sit there and rot.

If the Republicans had balls, they’d take a real stand. Issue a subpoena for Bragg immediately. If he doesn’t comply right away, place him in contempt and send the Capitol Police to arrest him and bring him before the committee. This used to happen. I can’t think of a more appropriate time than now to do it again.

Turnabout is fair play.

I’m no Trump supporter this time around, but there’s something far beyond Trump here that needs to be met head on. Republicans need to show they stand for the rule of law and the fairness of its application.

Our country is a powder keg right now. Its time for decisive action to stop this politicization of our legal system...

Braggs indictment of Trump is predicated by Soros giving Bragg $1 million. Bragg appears to have made that commitment to Soros to get the money for his campaign. This is all about Soros buying pols to destroy America. Soros already owns the Republican rinos and most of the Dem congress.

the GOP IS the evil that destroyed America.

the GOP attacked their voters, and the winner of the
election for the CCP, and the DNC.

NEVER TRUST THE GOP. NEVER.

Congress should shut down the government and eliminate all funds for New York City immediately.

The various humongous appropriations of money have resulted in a planned ready cash surplus. They planned ahead

The GOP will fail this test. I have every faith that McConnell, Romney et al will make sure that they fail this test.

Now that is a plan I can get behind. Put Wray in an adjoining cell.

The indictment of President Trump: A test of the Republican Party's resolve.

The indictment of President Trump is actually a failure of the Republican party. Only a select few are coming out against this bullsh!t. If we don't commit to destroying the democRATS and their Communist/Marxist bullsh!t we are done.

Either IT'S TIME or it's not.

“Doesn’t the House have a jail cell?”

Yes, they do. But using it would require a spine and testicles. The Republicans in Congress are what C.S. Lewis called “men without chests”.

So they’ll huff and puff and then do nothing.

“Those who profess to favor freedom, yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.”
Frederick Douglass.

Don’t make me laugh by suggesting that GOP Strike back hard and soon. Seriously folks, the vast majority of “our” GOP reps are nothing more than Democrat Lite.

Democrats and their demonic minions have NO FEAR of shooting up a school or murdering unborn children. Hell they weaponized the Law. The same Law we hold so dear to our hearts. DEMOCRATS do not deserve “due process” since they have by their own actions shown that “due process” no longer applies. It is past time to bring back extrajudicial justice upon DEMOCRATS!!!!

Their party symbol should be a limp empty scrotum flapping in the breeze...
