And Democrats will stop at nothing to prevent President Trump from running for office in 2024.
As Thomas Wolfe titled a chapter in his posthumous novel You Can't Go Home Again, -- "I have a thing to tell you."
What I have to tell is not about the plight of a German Jew trying to get money out of the Third Reich, the context of this cited part of the Wolfe novel. What I have to tell is that Alexander Hamilton, in Federalist No. 65, wrote that a former president "will still be liable to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law."
True, Hamilton put that observation in the context of a president who has been impeached by the House, convicted by the Senate, and "sentenced to a perpetual ostracism [bold in the original] from the esteem and honours and emoluments of his country."
But is a former president not convicted of articles of impeachment not subject "to prosecution and punishment in the ordinary course of law?" That is, is a former president immune to prosecution or, as the cliche goes, above the law? Of course not.
The New York Times carried an op-ed on Feb. 3, from one Bob Bauer, a New York University law professor and former campaign functionary for Joe Biden. The gist of the memo was not exactly in the title, "Trump Must Be Tried, " because the op-ed a focused on a Senate trial that needed to convict private citizen Trump so that he could not seek the presidency again. This political law professor cited the Federalist Papers, without specifying the particular document, but not the language quoted above from Federalist No. 65. Why is that? Because, again I submit, this Biden partisan wanted to make sure private citizen Trump would be placed

I’ll take “Second District of New York” for $1000 Alex.
It appears to me that DJT, rather than fighting, is taking the advice of the establishment and looking for a deal. If true, this will not end well for him.
If the current crop of politicians pretend to look to the Federalist Papers for wisdom as to the intent of the Founders so that the Constitution can be faithfully interpreted, it’s really just like the Devil quoting scripture. These people don’t care. They just want to get away with the stuff they are trying to get away with.
These fools think they can erase Trump and 75 million people. He doesn’t have to run. All he has to do is support a fearless young dynamic candidate like Matt Gaetz or Rick DeSantis. By the time Biden and Harris are through decimating the country, even rats sill want to go back to America first.
If he did anything illegal, why did the FBI have to make up the stupid Russian Hoax, the Ukrainian nonsense and now insurrection BS. If that is all they could come up with, DJT must be more law abiding than I am.
He won't have access to youngsters till the Annual WH Easter Egg Hunt, so Biden has to do s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g to get a sexual charge.
Biden uses govt policy to achieve concupiscence; gets a sexual charge signing E/O's to undo all of Trump's work for we, the people.
IF(and if is the biggest little word in the world) the voting process is fixed.
If there's even a shred of America left to be first.
The Deep State understands that. They know that Trump can get populist candidates elected all across the US.
That's why they want to lure him to DC for an impeachment trial, where he would not be protected by his private guards.
The Deep State intends to assassinate Trump. That's why they put up fences and are trying to get rid of Trumpers in the military. The are afraid of what would happen next.
"Oppose us, and this is how you will be hunted, pursued, and persecuted regardless of any rights you may have as a citizen, or laws that may be on record to ostensibly protect you. Take note."

Good point.
Still head shaking at the morons believing President Trump is looking at 2024 or even 2022 right now when cheating elections will not be fixed by the cheaters. There is no point worrying about future elections until the cheating is stopped.
These are not fools, but out and out traitors. Their purpose in attacking Donald Trump serves as a warning threat to anyone else what they will face if they try to defy the DeepStaters in the Swamp, Demonicrats, and the enemydia.
Such a patriot who stands up to them will be investigated without end using taxpayer funds and the weaponized tools of the IC, FBI, DOJ, Antifa/BLM, and Demonicrat-controlled state prosecutors. The goal is to convict the patriot on flimsy or phony charges before a corrupt judge and/or to financially destroy the patriot so that he cannot continue to fight.
Any friends and allies who try to assist the patriot will be similarly attacked or threatened with the ruin of their businesses, careers, or harm to their families.
The babykilling Demonicrats have no moral code to restrain their traitorous wickedness.
This. 👍
By the time Biden and Harris are through decimating the country, even rats sill want to go back to America first.

But they will have to politely ask the Chinese PLA garrisons to leave first.

Thanks for the reminder. Helpful to remember the difference.
I think things might get interesting if they try to perp-walk Trump in a part of the country where he has lots of supporters.
