And Freepers were so optimistic about the last justice installed. Now we know.
If Trump runs again, he needs to omit Cavanaugh and Barrett from his list of accomplishments.
Skepticism about Kavanaugh and Barrett is warranted, IMO. But, under well established jurisprudence, this wasn’t even a close call. Local, state and federal prosecutors enjoy incredible investigative latitude when it comes to tax and other financial investigations. Outside of murder and some national defense statutes, do you know what federal crimes have the longest statute of limitations? Finance and tax crimes.
Once Trump left office, there wasn’t any doubt the Manhattan DA was getting whatever he wanted.
That doesn’t make this smell any less than it does. But, if you want to blame someone for it, you can blame ‘Law & Order’ Republicans who, over the last 50-years have ceded to the government nearly universal powers to investigate citizens on the flimsiest of pretexts. We’re now being eaten by the monster we eagerly helped to create. Ron Paul warned us, but we laughed.
