I am not sure that the Democrats are on solid ground but their hope seems to be in a federal law that says people convicted of a felony cannot hold office. They want to block Trump through some kind of felony conviction.

The counter-argument would be that the Constitution has simple rules for who can be president, and a mere federal law cannot supersede that.

But I think they want to get Trump in front of a Washington DC jury. That seems to be a necessary first step.

“The counter-argument would be that the Constitution has simple rules for who can be president, and a mere federal law cannot supersede that.”

Which is the correct argument, and since we hold the Supreme Court, the left will lose that argument even with Chief Traitor Roberts on their side.

“But I think they want to get Trump in front of a Washington DC jury.”

Good. That would be another mistake, since a Washington DC jury means federal charges, which the President can pardon. Charging him in New York would be a smarter move for them if they could find some pretext for it.

I found one mistake in the first line of the article.

“Under pressure from President Biden”

The pressure isn’t from Burden. Burden is a potato head.

This is a directive from Obama, who is the real President. We need to start acknowledging that fact. Joe may hold the title, but he isn’t The Man.

Quote from Merrick Garland's October 7, 2022 press conference discussing the indictment of former President Donald Trump:

After a thorough six-month investigation into the corrupt practices of former President Trump, the FBI has concluded that the lack of discovered evidence proves that President Trump is guilty of crimes. Nobody can be that successful in covering up their crimes except a former President with billions of dollars in assets to be used in said cover-up.

In all the history of FBI investigations, there was ALWAYS a trail of criminal activity. Nobody... let me repeat that... NOBODY has a clean record. The fact that Mr. Trump's record appears to the public to be clean proves there was intent to commit crimes, because the cover-up was so encompassing as to defy all past experiences of such FBI investigations.

It is that proof of intent that tipped the scales when we evaluated taking the unprecedented action of indicting a former President of the United States.

Since the liberals are not plying by the law maybe we should simply say if Trump isn’t the 47th president we riot? It is what the liberal would say.

American justice is not whatever those in power proclaim it to be in service of one political party.

The Deep State is about to lose the silence of Taxation without Representation.

Very well writ. Sean Hannity just pointed out that 92% of D.C. voted for Biden so the Swamp truly is super-saturated with liberal Democrats. Hence the poor bastards who rubbernecked through the Capitol (after the FBI tracked them down with NSA tech meant for foreign terrorists) never had a chance at justice, let alone fair application of the law under such partisan juries and cowed defenders. To run and stay in office these days one has to either have an expendable fortune or fold under the Deep State's demand to compromise your principals.

And yes, when this utterly desperate attempt to tear Trump down in the public's regard backfires (again) some expendable tool may be set on him. I'm wondering if he'd be better off with no Secret Service assignment and just retaining his personal private protection. And that's a sad thing indeed.

even with Chief Traitor Roberts on their side

Watch your mouth when you speak about Mr. Chief Justice Roberts.

Should your words have effect, his replacement, at least until January 20, 2025 at 11:59AM will be Merrick Garland.

Surely you must be jesting Garland attain Supreme Court after all these shenanigans degrading the already compromised Department of Justice Obama polluted with Leftist appointees. We’re seeing the fruits of the Kenyan’s now in his “ghost” third term backed by Soros, Gates and whoever else needs a visit from the James Bond we don’t have to deal with them.
