How Trump Made the Federal Courts Blink

A quick back-and-forth occurred over the last week between President Trump and the nation's federal judges. After lying to Attorney General Barr about seeking a minimum sentence, the prosecutors in the Roger Stone case (including two from the Mueller Crew) entered a harsh sentencing recommendation that he serve a decade behind bars for lying to Congress. President Trump rightly criticized the prosecutors for their double standard in persecuting one of his political allies while leaving Hillary, Huma, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, McCabe, and countless others free to lie, destroy evidence, and obstruct investigations with impunity. The president lit into Judge Amy Berman Jackson while Twitter-jousting by noting that she had not only presided over this political prosecution, gagging Roger Stone in the process, but also allowed the malicious prosecution of the president's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, denying him bail and leaving him in solitary confinement during his trial.

Well, the Deep State collectively fainted. The four lying prosecutors resigned (as if they had planned this theatric episode beforehand). The press called President Trump a dictator. And the leadership of the 1,100-member Federal Judges Association called for an "emergency meeting" that simply "could not wait." Clearly, the Judicial Branch was gearing up for an unprecedented rebuke of the sitting president.

AND...once again I make this point:

If President Trump were REALLY a “dictator”, a “hitler” or a “tyrant”, none of these people would have resigned or have had the freedom to even say those words.

They would have been “disappeared”.

And that is the major difference between a strong leader who obeys the Constitution and those other guys.

If hillary (God Forbid!) was president and those judges tried this, there would have been an unprecedented amount of judicial suicides in 2020.

Any judge who attended an anti-Trump gathering of the judiciary would be asked to recuse themselves from cases involving the Trump administration. That’s a big reason they didn’t meet, they didn’t want to publicly take on an adversarial role (although they are adversaries of Trump).

Those coup participants and the larger permanent government better think carefully. They can’t convince half this country to agree with them, and they can’t kill us all, so things will get ugly for them quickly once we reach our breaking point. It’ll be a sad, but necessary day, that will make the French Revolution look like Sunday brunch.

If the Republicans take back the House and hold the Senate, they should impeach this POS Berman-Jackson immediately.
