There is so much misinformation about what happened the night Kyle Rittenhouse fired his weapon at four — yes, four — attackers that it’s hard to know where to begin. But let’s start with the prosecutors who promulgated and, indeed, created some of the slanders against the then-17-year-old. In the end, prosecutors Thomas Binger and Jim Kraus could not back up their lies with evidence in a courtroom and a jury saw right through them, thank God.
To put it succinctly, Thomas Binger and Jim Kraus left a skid mark on the robes of justice. They put a Kraus-sized turd on Lady Justice’s scale. And they almost put an 18-year-old in prison because he fought for his life and took out three of their “heroes,” as Binger called them.
Americans, already disgusted by the FBI, manufactured Trump Russia scandals, and counterintelligence investigations into concerned parents like they’re members of Al Qaeda, closely watched this case and were repulsed by the chicanery used to prosecute Rittenhouse.
They’re supposed to be the justice guys, right?
It’s a wonder that Rittenhouse was found not guilty on all counts.
You can blame Leftist propagandists or your laziness if you believed that Rittenhouse’s assailants were black, or that his gun was illegal, or that he brought it “across state lines,” or that he was a “chaos tourist” and a “vigilante.”
But there’s a special Mike Nifong-sized ring of hell for prosecutors who introduce these slanders into a courtroom, knowing that their subterfuge might put a kid away for the rest of his life.

Victoria lives in Portland. She is awesome. You should hear her discuss the antifa craziness in her city…wow.
Rumor has it, when that wench VP, was California AG, she put many innocent men in prison. That’s just rumors I heard. 🙃😀

That needs to be investigated some day.
I want to remind everyone that a lawyer’s job is to win his case within the law. There’s an additional standard that applies only to prosecutors: they have an obligation to ensure that justice is done, I.e., that innocent people are not charged, that Brady is scrupulously followed, and that cases be abandoned if it develops the defendant is not guilty. There’s always a tension in DAs between the desire to win, and the duty to do justice. These jokers were well over the line, but that’s the path you embark on when you start by filing charges for political reasons.
More than DAs’ desire to win is desire to get elected.
“More than DAs’ desire to win is desire to get elected.”
Agreed. For most DAs the job is a steppingstone to higher office. Lawyers like to tick this off (e.g. Harris) like non-lawyer politicians like to tick off military service (e.g., Buttigieg). DAs will be averse to prosecuting anything that might threaten their win record but high profile cases are tempting. In this case, it appears the DA wanted to have it both ways. He wanted to be shown doing something about this high profile case but, by appointing his subordinates to do the dirty work, he wanted to keep his own hands clean. As the behavior of the attack dogs is being examined, the DA should not be allowed to evade ultimate responsibility for this travesty of justice.
If Kyle was put in prison...for sure, he would have ‘Epsteined’ himself.
That would be the end of that.
Justice act 2 indeed.

Victoria Taft moved to Los Angeles several years ago.
Yeah, that didn’t work. Can’t post a pic from your outlook/live account and expect it to show. You had to be logged in to see it didn’t you?
