Biden says Trump verdict shows no one is above the law

CNN — President Joe Biden on Friday said that Donald Trump’s conviction in the hush money trial reaffirmed “the American principle that no one is above the law.”

Speaking from the White House, Biden said the jury consisted of regular Americans who heard evidence and returned a unanimous verdict.

“Donald Trump was given every opportunity to defend himself,” Biden said. “A state case, not a federal case, was heard by a jury of 12 citizens. Twelve Americans. Twelve people like you, like millions of Americans who served on juries.”
He said Trump’s jury was “chosen the same way every jury in America,” and was “a process that Donald Trump’s attorney was part of.”

“The jury heard five weeks of evidence. Five weeks, after careful deliberation, the jury reached a unanimous verdict,” he said. “They found Donald Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts.”

Biden said Trump would now have the opportunity to appeal the decision because “that’s how the American system of justice works.”

“It’s reckless, it’s dangerous, it’s irresponsible for anyone to say this was rigged just because they don’t like the verdict,” Biden said, taking Trump and his supporters’ words directly. “Our justice system has endured for nearly 250 years, and it literally is the cornerstone of America.”

“We should never allow anyone to tear it down – simple as that,” Biden continued. “That’s America. That’s who we are. That’s who will always be, God willing.”

“Donald Trump was given every opportunity to defend himself,” Biden said.

Well that's a damned lie.

So, Mr. Biden, how is someone whose daughter in her diary said showered with her as a teenager “above the law”? How is someone who took millions in bribes from foreign interests “above the law”? How is someone who sexually assaulted one of his female senate staffers “above the law”? How is someone who illegally uses the FBI, CIA and Justice Department to illicitly punish his political adversaries “above the law”? How is someone who pushes his corrupt pig of a son to be on the boards of foreign companies when he has no discernable talents “above the law”? How is an unelected “President” who escapes a recommendation for prosecution for keeping classified documents in his home garage because he is obviously senile “above the law”? I could go on, the list of potential criminalities of our Commander in Depends stretches on and on.

Radical Leftists never even consider the ramifications of their actions. They will soon rue engaging in this political weaponized lawfare crap as it will be turned right back around on them
