In previous blogs, I’ve discussed the quality of treatment Donald Trump is being afforded – i.e. a litany of absurd, ridiculous legal proceedings apropos of nothing serious, brought by hardline Democrats in hardline Democrat cities…
… none of which would ever in a million years have been pursued if the defendant’s name were not Donald Trump and he were not the Democrat President’s opponent in the upcoming election.
But Josh Hammer’s article for realclearpolitics.com, in which he lays out chapter and verse of the farcical clown show taking place in New York over the past few weeks, says it so well that I would like to show you a few excerpts below:
It is a presidential election year and a leading candidate for president of the United States, who also happens to be a former president of the United States, is currently a criminal defendant chained to a dingy courtroom four days of the week — time that he should be spending interacting with voters out on the campaign trail.
The daughter of the presiding judge is a professional political operative for the presidential candidate’s opposition party, and the candidate himself is subject to an over-inclusive and unconstitutional gag order. The George Soros-funded district attorney, who campaigned on a platform of prosecuting that candidate, only pressed charges after his own left-wing predecessor opted not to do so due to the frivolous nature of the charges. One of the Soros-funded DA’s subordinates curiously joined his team, just in time to prosecute the candidate, from a high-ranking perch in the Department of Justice that is headed by the candidate’s chief political rival.
And this week, the candidate was subjected to tawdry and salacious testimony from a discredited former porn star, who spoke openly in court about how she “blacked out” during their alleged 2006 sexual encounter. Due to the sprawling gag order, the candidate was not — and is not — legally permitted to defend his honor and contest her lurid, legally irrelevant claims.
Welcome to our American banana republic.
Instead of permitting the Regime’s challenger, Trump, to campaign for votes in Wisconsin, he is forced to silently endure the unhinged courtroom musings of a literal porn star and a convicted felon (Michael Cohen) — all in furtherance of a case that suffers from insuperable statute of limitations problems, in addition to the structural absurdity of a local district attorney (the Soros-funded Alvin Bragg) prosecuting and attempting to prove a federal crime (campaign finance violation). Oh, and if Trump doesn’t shut up and keep quiet, Merchan might throw him in jail — as he has repeatedly threatened to do, if Trump keeps violating his unconstitutional gag order.
Democrats seem not to have given any thought to what happens if they lose — an entirely distinct possibility, given the incumbent’s poor swing-state polling and widespread malaise among the electorate. If Trump wins, do Democrats seriously not expect him to respond in kind? Now that the Rubicon has been crossed and we have entered a world in which politicians attempt to not merely defeat their opposition at the ballot box but also prosecute and incarcerate them, there is no going back.
My congratulations for Josh Hammer for presenting these facts so well and making so much sense.
And my distress regarding how many people still will not (I won’t say can not, because they are perfectly capable of seeing this for what it is) acknowledge what is in front of their eyes, either because they are what I call “Duh Democrats” (i.e. so dyed-in-the-wool partisan that nothing a Democrat does can be bad enough), or because they hate Trump so much that it doesn’t matter how unfairly he is being treated.
