That's the mantra I keep hearing on TV and reading on Twitter. It's not true.

Alvin Bragg, the champion of NYC criminals, did it again. Bragg has a thing for charging those who dare engage in self-defense. He charged a victim with 2nd degree murder.

Again.

A Manhattan parking garage attendant who was shot twice while confronting an alleged thief at his business was charged with murder after wrestling away the weapon and using it to fire at the suspect.
Bragg has done the same stupid thing before.

Alvin Bragg is an incompetent moron. Today on Fox News Sunday Former Attorney General Bill Barr called Bragg's actions "prosecutorial misconduct" and accused Bragg of interference in a Federal election and opening a Pandora's box:

Bragg has admitted to lengthy persecution of Trump

Alvin Bragg has reminded voters during his campaign that in his former job with the New York attorney general's office he sued the Trump administration 'more than 100 times.'
He campaigned on getting Trump. Bragg's single-minded pursuit of Trump has abused the system, with Bragg taking on the mantle of Lavrentiy Beria:

Lavrentiy Beria, the most ruthless and longest-serving secret police chief in Joseph Stalin’s reign of terror in Russia and Eastern Europe, bragged that he could prove criminal conduct on anyone, even the innocent.

“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime” was Beria’s infamous boast.

BTW, you may have heard something to the effect of Trump facing 34 counts in his indictment. Whoever leaked that to John Miller off CNN has committed a felony.

Of course, every democrat and every fake Republican uttered the phrase "No one is above the law" It has become "anti-Trump sloganeering."

Slogans are meant to conceal complexity. The rote repetition of this one helps its proponents ignore the subtleties of prosecution that Jackson explained. It suggests that if there is any conceivable crime, under any definition, committed by anyone anywhere at any time, then that person should be investigated and perhaps jailed. Such a mentality invites a police state — yet opposing it is being recast as an attack on equality, rather than common political sense. That, we will come to regret.
Indeed. And that brings me to Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden is guilty of several crimes beyond any question.

Tax evasion

A big-shot Hollywood lawyer reportedly paid off Hunter Biden’s delinquent taxes — which a source told The Post amounted to more than $2 million — as President Biden’s notoriously troubled son awaits the results of a Delaware grand jury’s investigation into his personal finances.

Kevin Morris, an entertainment attorney and novelist who earned a fortune representing the co-creators of “South Park” and won a Tony Award as the co-producer of “The Book of Mormon,” footed Hunter Biden’s overdue taxes totaling over $2 million — more than twice what was previously reported, a source familiar with conversations between the two told The Post.

Paying the overdue money- or rather, someone else paying it off- doesn't absolve one of the crime. Biden could face a fine of $100,000 and 5 years in prison.

Violation of the FARA Act.

Hunter Biden failed to register as a foreign agent during years of overseas business dealings — a possible crime that could finally land him in prison, experts say.

While Biden registered as a lobbyist for domestic interests (a gig which so annoyed President Obama that Biden was forced to drop it in 2008), he never registered under the federal Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

The 1938 law has in recent years been employed to shine a light on foreign advocacy and lobbying in the US. It mandates individuals acting as “an agent, representative, employee, or servant … at the order, request, or under the direction or control of a ‘foreign principal,'” must register with the US government. Failing to do so is a crime punishable by up to five years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.

The NY Times suggests that Biden could file retroactively and escape prosecution. Republicans Paul Manafort and Rick Gates were convicted under the FARA Act but democrat Tony Podesta, their boss and the brother of Hillary Clinton adviser John Podesta, was allowed to file retroactively and dodged the bullet.

No one is above the law... no one is above the law.... I keep hearing that repeated by TPTB. Yet, apparently many are above the law: Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden, Al Sharpton, both Mr and Mrs Pelosi, and on and on. So when someone quotes me that ‘no one is above the law’ I laugh in their face.

If this was true, we wouldn’t have all of these turds rolling Dung Beetles all over the country. They’d be in jail.

Alvin Bragg is an incompetent moron.

Surely a man with the net worth and connections of Donald Trump can find a team of lawyers capable of defeating an "incompetent moron."

Yet he keeps getting re-elected.
I blame the people of New York.
The state attorney general doesn’t rein him in. Yet he keeps getting re-elected.
I blame the people of New York.
The governor doesn’t rein in the out of control attorney general.
Yet he keeps getting re-elected.
I blame the people of New York.

All of the above has one thing in common.
The people of New York.
Having said this, I will no longer support the people of New York.
My money will not purchase anything made in New York.

Yes, but in Trump’s case he is BELOW the Law.

Right. It would seem like a slam dunk. Trump hasn’t had the best luck with lawyers.
This indictment isn’t surprising. I’m more interested in the charges as I expect it to be a lot more complex than simply paying off Stormy Daniels.

"no one is above the law"

Except for Democrats, in particular since the Clinton presidency, the statement is correct.

Oh my. By leaving the elite Presidential level of Democratic immunity from law enforcement you have put us on the slippery slope to including the large, large numbers of crooked Democratic politicians and mere political operatives who always seem to get away with it.

As is said in Latin America, "For my friends everything, for my enemies the law." This seems to be the way that America now operates when it comes to Democratic politicians -- with our Leftist news media acting as if that is the natural order of things -- our esteemed "Rule of Law" don't you know.
