I heard that biden says he had nothing to do with it but I listen to Levin and he knows the law and said that it’s bs. He said that biden had to sign off in the DOJ doing it. If thats the law why do the reporters hide it. Surprised at the headline above from Fox News. They have turned on Trump.
“Trump is Charged Under a Law Meant to Suppress Political Opposition”
Which is precisely what is happening. Very convenient for dictators.
Excellent article - thanks for posting!
This law is way more complicated than that and includes during that era the ancillary Sedition Act of 1918 also.
“Court decisions do not use the shorthand term Sedition Act, but the correct legal term for the law, the Espionage Act, whether as originally enacted or as amended in 1918.”
“President Wilson and his Attorney General Thomas Watt Gregory viewed the bill as a political compromise. They hoped to avoid hearings that would embarrass the administration for its failure to prosecute offensive speech. They also feared other proposals that would have withdrawn prosecutorial authority from the Justice Department and placed it in the War Department, creating a sort of civilian court-martial process of questionable constitutionality.”
I’ve noticed that Sundance has elaborated more on what the term “national defense” being used in this case does than anyone.
The justice department is able to define that term with impunity, it seems.

Very few, if any, can match what Tucker Carlson is doing right now.

Every time I see some dolt prattle about “Shouting ‘fire’ falsely in a crowed theater” I grimace knowing the context of that fascistic and idiotic quote was the suppression of protest against the first world war (something we had zero need to get involved with, just like every war except WW2 and 1812)
When the left leaning media exposes a dictator you know it’s bad and getting worse.
Their actions now haunt them to little to late.
Trump or nothing changes.
