‘No person is above the law': Conn. delegation responds to Trump indictment
NBC Connecticut ^

Posted on 06/09/2023 8:21:13 PM PDT by matt04

Multiple Connecticut delegates are responding to the news of former President Donald Trump's indictment.

Sen. Richard Blumenthal said that "no person is above the law," and Trump should be punished because it doesn't matter how powerful a person is.

"A grand jury has decided to charge former President Trump after an intensive investigation lasting many months. Our justice system has an obligation to pursue the facts and law wherever they lead. Former President Trump will have the same rights as any criminal defendant and the justice system will presume him innocent until proven guilty.”

Representative Jim Himes (D-4th District) also issued a statement about the indictment, calling it a serious matter.

“Having been a Member of the House Intelligence Committee for more than10 years, it is my experience that classified information is generally classified for a good reason, namely that the unauthorized disclosure of information can compromise sources and methods, damage our national security, and cost lives. For that reason, the removal of classified material from a secure space is an exceptionally serious matter, made all the more serious if the individual responsible for its removal does so intentionally and discloses the information to outside individuals."

Connecticut, along with Massachusetts and New Jersey, is one of the most rigged states in the Union.

No person is above the law

Except Hillary, Clapper, Brennan, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Pencil Neck, all of congress with insider trading, and the list goes on.

You already proved that some people are with Hillary. She was sitting on millions in her own little foundation and she was allowed to disassemble it and pretend it didn’t exist. In addition to sid Blumenthal running the Libya attack. In addition to the server. Just unreal.

In 2016, Himes lobbied the Electoral College to refuse to vote for Donald Trump and to instead elect Hillary Clinton.

I forgot about that little stunt. Sounds like a attack our muy democracy and a bit of a insurrection if you ask me.

Can’t speak for NJ, but CT is know for some city, like Bridgeport, having a “issue” with voting and getting judge to exrtend it a extra hour or so, and like magic...some Dem, normally the Governor just squeaks ahead.

Oh, apparently plenty of people are. Namely the current occupant of the White House and his family, the Clintons, etc.

And some are below the law if they can be prosecuted for alleged offenses but others who have committed the same alleged offenses or worse get off scot free, or can be prosecuted for charges made up out of whole cloth just to charge them because of who they are (the New York indictment).

The entire Federal government appears to be above the law and brazenly lawless.

Wrong, the Biden’s and the Clintons are Above the laws. They are the new kings without all the robes and crowns. Kings of old were patriots—at least. Biden/Clinton/Obamas are “Citizens of the world” and do not give a fig for smelly Americans. See what Clinton did to the people of Haiti.

All the obvious pukes running to jump on the wagon. We are getting a clear picture on who the enemies are, especially within the GOP

The Law is not the level playing field it's supposed to be, it's a roiling ocean deliberately washing over certain individuals and leaving others untouched.
Why? Because the biggest culprits are in control, obviously.

Good thing stolen valor is not against the law, then Bloomy.
