The Crime Family Has Hung Itself
By John Livingston
Triggering Instability
The Wall Street Journal editors kept in mind an intricate case involving a previous president dealing with unusual charges that, even if shown, would just result in a small offense with an ended statute of limitations. This conviction develops a precedent of using legal procedures, even if questionable, to target political foes, including previous Presidents.
According to John Lucas, the outcome of this trial, orchestrated by the judge, jury, and prosecution, has sent our country plunging into a catastrophic decline that might be permanent. I do not concur because I realized long ago that we are not fighting a political party but an organized crime syndicate that masquerades as a political party. Now, finally, we have the cause, the motivation to begin the battle against this criminal syndicate that has brutalized our nation. Not the least of which has been the knowing and deliberate bringing of 50 million illegals that is costing the economy an estimated 5 trillion a year, year after year.
This is not a video game that can or will be played by one side only. The guidelines are now set. When Republicans have the chance, they will play the game. Many, possibly most, will think that an action is obligatory and that “taking the high road” is no longer a choice. Rather, it would be regarded by the “progressive” left– that is to say, those now in charge of the Democratic Party– as a weak point if they roll over and stop working to react. This is an existential threat to the stability of our political system and nation. That danger makes this the most unsafe day in the history of the Country, at least in our lifetimes.
In the future, the justice system is expected to be utilized as a weapon against political rivals. Political enemies will settle their disputes in picked courtrooms where they will most likely secure a conviction. These advancements suggest that the judicial system is increasingly resembling the oppressive practices seen in nations such as China, Cuba, and Venezuela, where they are frequently put behind bars or subjected to harsher treatment.
Weak point of the Case
Many legal practitioners have kept in mind the significant flaws in this case, and have done a great task of it, but for clear and easy-to-understand descriptions, I advise Will Chamberlain’s:
Remarkably, CNN legal expert Elie Honig, pointing out undeniable facts, finest lays out the legal contortions underlying the conviction.
The judge donated money [snip] in plain infraction of a rule forbidding New York judges from making political donations of any kind– to a pro-Biden, anti-Trump political operation, consisting of funds that the judge allocated for “resisting the Republican Party and Donald Trump’s extreme right-wing legacy. [snip] District Attorney Alvin Bragg ran for office in an overwhelmingly Democratic county by touting his Trump-hunting expertise. [snip] Most significantly, the DA’s charges versus Trump press the outer boundaries of the law and due process.

The charges against Trump are unknown and nearly wholly unmatched. In fact, no state prosecutor– in New York, or Wyoming, or anywhere– has actually ever charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state criminal activity versus anybody for anything. None. Ever.
Standing alone, falsification charges would have been simple misdemeanors under New York law, which posed 2 issues for the DA. Initially, nobody cares about a misdemeanor, and it would be laughable to bring the first-ever charge against a previous president for a petty offense that falls within the same technical criminal classification as shoplifting … Second, the statute of restrictions on a misdemeanor– two years– likely has long expired on Trump’s conduct, which dates to 2016 and 2017.
To elevate the charges to the lowest-level felony (Class E) and extend the felony statute of limitations, the District Attorney declared that the falsification of service records was done with criminal activity. District attorneys assert that this “another criminal activity” involves violating New York State election law, including federal project criminal offenses, tax criminal activities, and additional file falsification. Unfortunately, the DA did not divulge the specifics of these unlawful actions, and the judge did not oblige them to do so until right before closing arguments.
In these essential aspects, the charges against Trump aren’t uncommon. They’re custom, seemingly crafted individually for the previous president and no one else.

The idea that no individual is exempt from the law has ended up being a trite phrase, yet it remains an important tenet of a fair society. It’s essential to take a step back and value the significance of this fundamental principle. Nevertheless, it ends up being hollow rhetoric if we blindly accept and even applaud exceptions to standard procedures and ethics in order to attain this perfect.
He is fortunate to have a team of knowledgeable attorneys who will carefully consider his choices and choose the most beneficial path, although some observers have currently proposed prospective methods. Presently, he is out on bail awaiting the appeal process, which can not begin up until after sentencing. The judge, Juan Merchan, has set up the sentencing for July 11, just 4 days before the Republican National Convention is set to happen. An evaluation of the New York Supreme Court’s performance history suggests that it is greatly affected by a single celebration and offers no warranty that it will reverse the conviction.
If Merchan decides to send him to prison, he will be able to of custody by posting bail till the higher court validates the guilty verdict and punishment. If Merchan issues the sentence on July 11, the appeals court might potentially review the case in November during the election season. There could be unpredictability regarding his ballot rights in certain states based upon the judgment, however Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the head of the Florida Clemency Board, has specified that he would provide Trump with clemency to vote in Florida.
The most innovative tip is that of Mark Levin, who states Trump must preserve his right to attract the NY Supreme Court however all at once go right to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The US Supreme Court stepped in during the Bush v. Gore case to address the Florida Supreme Court’s actions of modifying the state’s voting treatments in the midst of the election procedure. This interference was deemed necessary to safeguard the equal rights of Florida citizens, as the state court effectively developing brand-new rules for choosing a governmental election.
The Manhattan high court has done even worse. It has used up a case in which there is special FEDERAL JURISDICTION (involving the Federal Election Campaign Act) despite the fact that the federal agencies with authority over imposing federal project laws, the Federal Election Commission and the Southern District of New York/U. S. attorney’s office, decreased to bring charges; where the judge is clashed (his child is raising tens of millions of dollars on behalf of her Democrat Party clients); where collateral evidence has actually been plentiful (and has no probative value); where the elements of the supposed federal offense were never articulated by the state or the Court; the imposition of a gag order on the defendant who is the future Republican nominee for president in the midst of the federal campaign for president; and so forth. Additionally, this state court could have easily avoided affecting and interfering with the federal governmental election simply by setting a later time for the case, if the court in fact thought it in some way had benefit. After all, the state waited years to bring its case.
As a result, this state trial court’s actions make up not only a breach of the federal constitution’s equal security clause, as it has actually violated its bounds by placing itself into the governmental election without legal authority or jurisdiction, however also a violation of the constitutionally guaranteed due process rights of the future Republican governmental prospect. Additionally, the outcome of the federal election must be figured out solely by the citizens, free from the excessive influence of a state court trying to sway the result.
Should any of the thirty-four charges versus President Trump result in a guilty decision, I would urge his legal group to promptly request an urgent appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, drawing parallels the precedent set by the Bush v. Gore case.
Within 24 hours of the decision, almost $53 million was contributed to Trump, about a third of it reportedly from brand-new donors. Some donations were little, some were big, Elon Musk and other very wealthy Americans threw their assistance to Trump, including Sequoia Founder Shaun Maguire, who donated $300,000. In a long description he informed how he had actually changed his mind about Trump and why this is “one of the most essential elections of my life time.
The excellent Iowahawk (David Burge) believes the Democrats’ idea that they can beat Trump through lawfare is absurd: “This is wishful thinking on the level of ‘hey let’s trap Godzilla with the high voltage lines’
Benny Johnson’s group created an amusing parody motivated by the traditional film It’s a Wonderful Life, likening the rise of contributions to Trump to the heartfelt scene where the community rallies around Jimmy Stewart’s character, flooding his bank with generous contributions.
The Daily Mail for one ran a survey exposing the conviction increased Trump’s lead over President Biden.
All in all, these lawfare schemes strike me as hazardous to the country but as self-def
