Victor Davis Hanson: The Travesties of the Trump Trials
American Greatness ^ | 29 Apr, 2024 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 04/29/2024 6:11:52 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Tragically for the country, to stop this left-wing madness, the Trump travesties may not be the end, but the beginning of precisely what the Founders feared.

Do not believe the White House/mainstream media-concocted narrative that the four criminal court cases—prosecuted by Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Jack Smith, and Fani Willis—were not in part coordinated, synchronized, and timed to reach their courtroom psychodramatic finales right during the 2024 campaign season.

These local, state, and federal Lilliputian agendas were designed to tie down, gag, confine, bankrupt, and destroy Trump psychologically and physically. They are the final lawfare denouement to years of extra-legal efforts to emasculate him.

Indeed, the nation is by now worn out by these serial assaults on constitutional norms: the Hillary-funded Steele dossier subterfuge; the pre-election Russian laptop disinformation campaign; the two impeachments without special counsel reports; the impeachment Senate trial of a private citizen; the effort to remove Trump’s name from state ballots; the ongoing attempt to emasculate the Electoral College; or the radical opportune changes in state election laws to ensure massive mail-in balloting.

Recently, Andrew McCarthy has reviewed in depth this coordination between White House personnel and prosecutors, long known and long denied by the left. Biden, for example, had complained to aides about Attorney General Merrick Garland’s tardiness in getting special federal prosecutor Smith appointed—and thus apparently ensuring Trump was convicted before the election.

Nathan Wade, Fani Willis’s now-fired paramour prosecutor, visited and consulted with the White House counsel’s office when he was acting supposedly as a purely local county prosecutor. The January 6th left-wing-dominated congressional committee consulted with the Biden administration in sending forth its criminal referrals about Trump’s purported role in the protests. And to handle his pseudo-indictment against Trump, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg hired Biden Justice Department official Vincent Colangeio.

It is like the democRATs are trying to out do their seditious behavior when Trump was president.

The Democrats might not like the Frankenstein Monster they are creating. If they don’t stop this madness, we will no longer have a Republic, but more like a South American Junta system.

Seriously. The draining of the swamp is so needed. And that can never be done through normal political jaw-boning and horse-trading within Congress. Ridiculous to even consider that approach. No, the cleaning we require is going to require military tribunals and a lot of extra-Constitutional activity. And in my opinion, politicians and media people who put up a fuss should go straight into solitary confinement for 3 years or so.

While Trump is chained to a trial, his polls improve. People instinctually know that Biden’s lawfare is a dangerous abuse of power. Trump is smart to continually point it out.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

A final note. There is a divine order of balance in the world, one known variously by particular civilizations as kismet, nemesis, karma, or what goes around, comes around payback. We’ve already seen such forces at work: Sen. Schumer at the head of a mob at the doors of the Supreme Court, calling out threats to justices by name, only now finding pro-Hamas thugs circling his own home. Or Democrats during the Trump years straining to find ways to invoke the 25th Amendment, now humiliated into claiming a non-compos-mentis Joe Biden is “sharp as a knife.”

Very much worth your time to follow the link and finish. The Prof is correct, yet again.

They were also timed so that Trump wouldn’t be able to get a decision on appeal until after the election.

I’m still trying to absorb that President Trump apparently has no recourse but to pay Carroll the millions and millions and millions.

The Democrats don't expect ever to lose power. The US will be like Mexico, where one party won all of the Presidential elections for decades (the only uncertainty was who would become the party's nominee). They don't expect the Republicans ever to be in a position to inflict payback.

Anyway the federal bureaucracy and the judicial system is mostly filled with Democrats who will be able to nullify most attempts by a Republican President to clean up the mess.

He was denied another trial by the judge who already oversaw the first trial. His appeals are not exhausted.

There may be a few of those on the prosecution side of the trials. They are democRATs you know.
