That’s the dominating thing that most opponents of Donald Trump come up with when you ask them to name a specific infraction he committed that would require jail. Even some very well educated associates of mine were unaware of just what Trump said on January 6th (the day of the no-freaking-insurrection) before the crowd left for the capitol and during the trespassing (which really is the hub of the thing.
None of them that I’ve talked with knew about his plea on Twitter to leave peacefully and protest peacefully. The sheeple were all told that he did nothing, and so did not check out the tweet which was quickly taken down as Twitter squashed his speech.
Nor, in any case, can they name the police officers killed by the mob. Oh, there were none. One officer died of unrelated causes within the following days. But surely one protestor died at the hands of a Capitol police officer who shot her through the glass as she (unarmed) was in an adjacent corridor. He never stood trial. Ashli Babbitt never drew another breath. She was a failed person in many ways, but she didn’t deserve to be shot for her actions that day – or any other day.
Now, under the thumb of a biased judge, who’s immediate family members have worked for Trump’s political opposition, Trump is under a gag order while the witnesses in the trial are free to say anything they want about Trump. The trial has been specifically timed to mess with Trump’s run for president. The case is non-existent. Not even wafer-thin, it is nothing but vapor.
So for those of you who hate Trump with every fiber of your being, ask yourselves this: What would I do if the government prosecuted me/tried me in civil court for a string of things that either are past the statute of limitations, or are only viable because they passed a special law targeting me and making the statutes change? How would you fight the enormous force of the government? You wouldn’t. Any prudent lawyer would urge you to plead to the charges, or take some sort of deal.
Trump isn’t caving. Because he understands the fundamental injustice here, and he’s got the money to fight it. But it doesn’t make what they are doing to him right anymore than if they came after you.
And, frankly, if they crush Donald Trump you’re next.
