“Manafort faces what could be a life in prison for bank and tax fraud”
which was investigated years ago and no charges brought. What was the intervening action? Ah, DJT was elected president and he worked for the campaign. Just a coincidence I guess. This is exactly what is going on with Trump: show me the man, I will show you the crime.
I acknowledge that Manafort was a dirt bag tax cheat BUT the government had no case against him till he became a step to get to Trump. Sounds to me like selective prosecution, nothing more.
What is more interesting in the selection of targets here is crimes involving clintoons and their party uncovered during the Muleass witch hunt never get investigated. See, the original mandate was allegedly to investigate Russian Collusion and related crimes uncovered during that inquiry. I guess that only applied to anything involving Trump, no one else.
Since the courts seem to care less to rein in this fiasco
and since the other branch of government is only interested in removing Trump, the good patriots here have virtually no legal recourse. So much so, I now watch reruns of Miami Vice rather than following this stuff anymore.
All excellent points.
What is most frightening to me is that since Trump was elected, our government, and certain elements within that government no longer even seem to care about hiding how wicked they are.
They just seem to be of the mind that okay, boys, Trump is president so we are justified in doing absolutely anything now. Nothing is too far. Nothing.
Our government, and its organ, the US Media, have gone balls to the wall insane.
Cheating on taxes is not a crime.
Raising taxes is a crime.
