Because weaponizing the US government against your political opponent is anti-American.
I take this as sarcasm.
They will stop at nothing to persecute their political opponents and their supporters. nothing. Until they ae stopped.
Lawyers can speak to this, but my understanding is that the government must bring the entirety of its case of known “crimes” at the same time. They can’t tee up a few chargs, and if they lose, pursue another and another, whether in hope of finally getting lucky with a conviction, or to exhaust the defendant financially/punish them with process.
The New Jersey episodes are obviously known to the feds prosecuting Trump for the same overall conduct, since they use them as prejudicial material in the Florida indictment.
I don’t see how the concept of the DoJ charging Trump in multiple state venues would fly.
Is it at all possible to resolve the issue of judge and jurisdiction “shopping” to Favorable political venues to prevent this insidious practice af further dividing the country and fanning flames of real civil war?
Or would any meaningful change require wholesale rewriting of the laws and constitution to fix? Impossible to do under current political divide and maybe just impossible altogether.
With a complicit/compliant media such as we have, they could get away with taking Trump straight to lock up, and throw away the key. No need for legal shenanigans. They got the judges who would not stand in the way, and our elected Republicans would give congratulatory speeches.
We need a new law, confirming the Bill of Rights and a law against Prosecutorial Misconduct, where the Government MUST reimburse ALL Defendants who are illegally prosecuted.
Absolutely. They are sick and evil individuals.
Now that Trump has legal standing to be in court, Trump’s lawyers should argue that Joe Biden has no lawful right to be the 46th President given Amendment IV and Amendment XIV, Section 3.
Amendment IV provides that:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated...
The Brady Bill Joe Biden (and Chuck Schumer) voted to approve violates the Amendment IV right to be secure in the possession of firearms listed on 4473 forms as it is quite reasonable to believe a confiscation list could be compiled from 4473s and federally required gun dealer records.
Quotes on an Amendment XIV, Section 3 use by a judge:
A judge in New Mexico declared Tuesday that the Jan. 6 Capitol riot was an “insurrection” as he ruled that Otero County Commissioner and “Cowboys for Trump” founder Couy Griffin must be removed from office for participating in the attack.
Griffin is barred for life from holding any federal or state office — including his current role as county commissioner, from which he will be ousted “effective immediately,” Judge Francis Mathew ruled.
Griffin became “constitutionally disqualified” from those positions as of Jan. 6, 2021, the judge concluded.
BTTT
Trump might want to return to Florida since if he stays in New Jersey the DoJ might try to “do him a favor” by moving the prosecution to New Jersey to be closer to where he is staying.
Indeed an honest judge would tell the lawyers to switch tables.
His option is to go back to Europe.
Some terrible traitorous crimes have been committed by these horrible people. It is psychopathic to pursue one man with this type of irrationality. What did these people do to fear PDJT? There is no other explanation. Even money and power cannot explain this insanity.
Couldn’t do it as the indictment covers this element. The rules of double-jeopardy would apply.
He can’t be indicted in Florida using the elements of the “crime” and then be indicted in New Jersey under the same elements.
This is just CNN spewing their typical garbage. I’m beginning to think everyone at CNN is a closet Jeffrey Toobin and wonder what’s going on under the tables on-set.
