Donald Trump just won the greatest jury verdict in American history
The Hill ^ | 11/06/24 10:56 AM ET | Jonathan Turley

Nearly two years ago, I wrote that Democratic prosecutors’ lawfare campaign against Donald Trump would make the 2024 election the single largest jury decision in history. Now that the verdict is in, the question is whether prosecutors will continue their unrelenting campaign against the president-elect and his companies.

The answer is that it may not matter. 

The election reflected a certain gag sensation for a public fed a relentless diet of panic and identity politics for eight years. The 2024 election will come to be viewed as one of the biggest political and cultural shifts in our history. It was the mainstream-media-versus-new media election; the Rogan-versus-Oprah election; the establishment-versus-a-disassociated-electorate election. 

It was also a thorough rejection of lawfare. One of the things most frustrating for Trump’s opponents was that every trial or hearing seemed to give Trump a boost in the polls. As cases piled up in Washington, New York, Florida and Georgia, the effort seemed to move more toward political acclamation than isolation.

Now, these cases are now legal versions of the Flying Dutchman — ships destined to sail endlessly but never make port. 

If there is a single captain of that hapless crew, it is Special Counsel Jack Smith. For more than a year, Smith sought to secure a verdict in one of his two cases in Washington and Florida before the election. His urgency was seemingly shared by Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, but by few other judges or justices.

Around 2 am, Smith became a lame-duck prosecutor. Trump ran on ending his prosecutions and can cite a political mandate for it. Certainly, had he lost, the other side would be claiming a mandate for these prosecutions.

Let us not forget that Letitia James closing arguments to the Appeals court consisted of nothing but pleas to NOT BE SANCTIONED by the Court of Appeals for this bogus prosecution.

She needs to be sanctioned, along with Willis in GA, there needs to be price paid for them using Bolshevik style tactics in the US.

A side benefit to the Democrat’s political war….Democrat’s spent billions on their campaign. Their $$$ coffers have been greatly reduced, drained, spent, wasted.

They are now broke, busted and disgusted- a good thing.

They need a new voice in 2028. Not the CA Gov. Biden, Nancy, Obama all need to be sent off (this is for the good of their party), but I doubt it happens.

Apparently Bill Clinton was telling people that they needed a response on the tans issue stuff, and again, no one listened to him. LOL

Prosecution under color of law is a federal offense, LaTisha.

Leticia and the rest had better realize that their continued threats are to invoke CIVIL WAR.
Trump now represents OVER 50% of Americans. Any further law fare is now considered to be a threat of civil war against 52% of the population, NOT just Trump anymore.
Leticia had better back down or be charged with treason.
