The indictment of former President Donald Trump on Thursday by a grand jury in Manhattan is an assault on democracy.
There is no evidence of a crime being committed in the Stormy Daniels affair; even if there were, the statute of limitations on the supposed charge has expired, and the state cannot evade it by inventing a federal crime. The indictment is simply an attempt to prevent the leading opposition candidate from contesting the 2024 election.
Worse, the indictment was purchased by notorious left-wing billionaire George Soros, who hates Trump and spent $1 million to elect Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
There is no more glaring abuse of the rule of law than to allow a wealthy patron of the ruling party to fund the prosecution of its political rival. It is a direct assault on democracy, a form of election interference that will destroy what is left of voters’ faith in democracy.
In the short term, the indictment will encourage conservative voters to rally around Trump. Assuming he can still campaign while on trial, or perhaps from state prison, he is now almost certain to win the Republican nomination for the presidency in 2024.
He has become the primary symbol of the abuses of power by our country’s entitled liberal elite. If you don’t like what they are doing, the best way to say that is to vote for him.
But that, too, is election interference, because there are some Democrats who would rather run against Trump than against another candidate whose rhetorical style does not irritate the public as much as Trump’s does. The indictment robs Republican voters of a chance to consider alternatives. It gives Democrats exactly what they want: a weakened nominee who cannot be displaced but who will also struggle to win the general election.

Well no shit, Joel. Can’t pull anything over on you.
It’s really very simple. It is now illegal to lose (or have stolen from you)an election in America if you’re a Republican.
All the best banana republics do this: lose the election, and wind up in jail — or maybe dead.
The Democrats want to tell us that only they can decide who will run against them-that they must approve. We’ll see.

Just where in the heck is, now Prof., Lizard Cheney?
Which is exactly what they are hoping for.

More accurately, this bullshit is a full on assault to our REPUBLIC. We are not and never have been a fucking democracy.
I can’t wait for the first dumb ass Republican to give validity to the persecution of President Trump.( Most likely a Pussy Senator)
I can hear them now:
“We have to let the legal system play out.”
There is only one for sure way the Democrats can get rid of Trump. Only one way.
“It’s Not the Nature of the Evidence; It’s the Seriousness of the Charge.”
I have lived and worked in third world countries during my oilfield days. I have seen this before and it is the end of freedom. We are no longer a Democratic Republic as designed by our wise forefathers.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee have agreed to pay $113,000 to settle a Federal Election Commission investigation into whether they violated campaign finance law by misreporting spending on research that eventually became the infamous Steele dossier.
The Clinton campaign hired Perkins Coie, which then hired Fusion GPS, a research and intelligence firm, to conduct opposition research on Republican candidate Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. But on FEC forms, the Clinton campaign classified the spending as legal services.
The GOP sayeth: here are our nethers, please kick us there.
OR, how about this, we have every effin GOP red state prosecutor give these bastards a taste of their own medicine. Let impanel some grand juries and go to town.

Their political cowardice makes me want to puke.
WHICH WOULD START CW II
They also ignored Hillary’s behavior for over 6 years.
