This book is an alarm. It’s a sign that danger is close, and that it’s serious. That’s not how the author meant it.
Mark Pomerantz published People vs. Donald Trump last year to describe his role as a special assistant district attorney in Manhattan, trying to prosecute the former president, and to complain about an initial decision in the DA’s office not to file charges. I didn’t notice it until I saw Pomerantz taking the fifth over and over again in response to recent questions about his behavior during the investigation, but I bought a copy this week — a used copy, to avoid sending money to Mark Pomerantz.
I don’t know how to begin telling you clearly enough how disturbing it is. You can despise Donald Trump and see the point. No one should be treated this way. The problem is the weapon itself, not the identity of the person it was used against.

They didn’t start with a suspected crime, or with a victim, or with a complaint. They started with a target, with someone they wanted to charge with something, and then went looking for something to charge him with. No one reported Trump to the police; the DA just felt like investigating him.
This office-born hunt for a crime, he says, is not unusual; when he worked for US Attorney Mary Jo White in the Southern District of New York, for example, she used to read the morning newspaper, see controversies in the news that she wanted her office to be involved in, and tell her people to go find her something. The clippings she sent down to her line prosecutors “sometimes would blossom into investigations and prosecutions.” Page 14, by the way.

I'm saddened that the Devil hasn't taken her yet.
It could actually be construed as a violation of the Third Amendment.
Comments section: People like Pomerantz have operated as if treating the famous speech by then-attorney general and future Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson not as a warning, but a how-to guide.
Jackson: “the most dangerous power of the prosecutor” is the ability to “pick people that he thinks he should ‘get,’ rather than pick cases that need to be prosecuted.”
Jackson explained that, given the variety of laws on the books, “A prosecutor stands a fair chance of finding at least a technical violation of some act on the part of almost anyone.”
Democrats have decided to sacrifice higher-order values in order to engage in blatantly political selective prosecutions, and it ought to worry fair-minded people regardless of political persuasion.

“”It could actually be construed as a violation of the Third Amendment””
The democRATS and DemoKKKrats are a violation of all that is good and right.
Without a conscience or a soul, anything is possible.
The greatest civil rights issue of these times is to have DC and NYC juries hearing these politically motivated cases. This is not jury of peers.
The democrat special lawfare operations that have been their “bread & butter” since the Watergate takedown of President Nixon, needs closer scrutiny.
After the scrutiny, budget cuts need to happen that will hurt the finances of these partisan lawyer/judge/operators.
Our expensive corrupt law system is a black mark on our Republic and must be reformed or die.
Of course they went fishing. Prosecutors have learned how to play the game. They see a target that will cause a media frenzy and woolah, they throw out a net to gather the bait, toss a line to catch the big fish.
Even if found not-guilty, the media has certainly rung a bell that can not be un-rung!! Meanwhile, the prosecutors has extensive name recognition for the “high profile” trial of the century that occur way too frequently.
This country needs to start prosecuting the prosecutors.

Of course not. Why else though, do they have so many laws, if not for the laws themselves to be weapons?
What they are doing to Trump is illegal, unconstitutional, evil, the lowest congress has ever sunk to let this go on. There are no legit charges.. It’s a baboon court trying to keep him from campaigning, and did you see the crowd at the NJ rally...
God is in heaven.. Watching this nation.. The dems.deepstate are not going to win this.. They think they, with the endless money and the control they think they have, the world is theirs to have.. Satan tried that.. In heaven..in the garden and with the Son of God.. These mere men today.. Full of their own self importance....
“The Republic of the United States was not designed to support hundreds and thousands of government attorneys offices as a standing army against the citizenry.”
That’s a great way to describe what is happening today in our nation.
Not many people think about the fact that there weren’t crowds of these government lawyers suckling at the tax teat 100 years ago, or in prior decades.
Great info on the law are against Trump
Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime
