New York City and State are the cutting edge of a political movement that is dedicated to using lawfare to destroy its political enemies.
It’s the middle of the night as I write this, and I’m deeply troubled by Trump’s conviction. Why? Perhaps I’m hyper-partisan, perhaps not. I know I’ll never forget where I was when I heard about his conviction. I knew I’d remember it forever, just as I did when I first heard about 9/11, Neil Armstrong walking on the moon, President Kennedy’s assassination or the Soviet Union breathing its last. They were all moments when the clock stood still. The world was never quite the same afterward, and the question, always, was what comes next.
My friends who believe either that what happened to Trump was not such a big deal or that the rule of law is not yet totally corrupted because Trump is likely to prevail on appeal miss the point. Anarchy at this level in America is outside of any of our experiences. Even those who dislike Trump recognize injustice in the same way that Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart recognized pornography: “I know it when I see it.” Trump’s conviction is a metaphor for pornography.
I have watched a man who does not need us, even though we need him, dragged through the streets of New York in an almost medieval manner. All that was missing was either tar and feathering him by breathless spectators or cries of “hang him.”
Trump was heard the day before the verdict, acknowledging that he would likely be found guilty. My wife, an optimist, thought a hung jury was likely. I’m not an optimist. Like Trump, I expected a conviction, given the judge’s conduct during the trial

If Republican DAs in every state don’t fight back against these marxist tyrants then the country is lost. It is a target rich environment for them and there are no excuses any more.
lawfare? When EVIL individuals are the law. “Law” does not protect you from them. Witness history. Witness current events.

The difference between Red State DAs “going after” Democrat corruption is their will be ACTUAL crimes involved. Get it?
The US of a has not been a constitutional republic since the passage of the 17th Amendment, we’re just living in the aftermath of that decision from years ago and it’s only going to get worse from here
You hit on the core problem. The 17th. (The 16th is pretty bad too).

Right you are. As it is now, we are watching a boxing match where the D boxer is getting away with illegal punches. The R boxer is not punching back at all. It’s not hard to predict who will win that match.
The R boxer needs to start punching back, hard and legally.
I don’t think the left cares about an old piece of paper. Where did Mao say power comes from?
The author details illegality after illegality in NY vs Trump then writes then writes: “ Trump will likely go on campaigning, but with what restrictions, we don’t know.” Really!? By WHAT authority. BY WHAT LAW!!!??? Why are we seemingly in thrall to these lawless monsters as they abuse the law and violate a man’s rights under color of authority?
The Dems with all their democracy must be saved talk were not issuing a warning, they were issuing a threat.
If we win, it will be a turning point for America and the start of a new era for the world.
If we lose, all hell is going to break loose.
This is clearly an epic battle between Good and Evil.
The communists have taken over and there will be an obama 4.0. Why do you think the obamas live in Washington DC? It is over, the commies will not be giving up their power.
The fix was in. He was “guilty” before the “trial” started.
If there was ever a perfect example of a RICO case this legal offensive against Trump would definitely qualify. If Trump wins he should assemble a team of honest investigators, honest prosecutors, and honest judges to bring the guilty to account.
At some point, the enemies of our nation need to be dealt with in an unpleasant way.
