Democrats Clarify That No One Is Above The Law That They Selectively Enforce

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — As news dropped that former President Donald Trump was facing a third federal indictment, Democrats were quick to explain that no American citizen is above the law they only selectively enforce.

"Absolutely no one is exempt, unless we say so," said Attorney General Merrick Garland.  "Even the President is subject to the law, except in cases where I decide he can totally do whatever he wants without any consequences whatsoever."  [...]

I am sure Biden will lift the moratorium on the Federal death penalty for this.

This thread began June 9, 2024 with Trump-Charging Document. 

In the face of hostile takeover , it attempted to nudge a safe haven as Trump-Charges formerly known as Trump-Charging Document.

 

We shall forge ahead, notwithstanding the challenges ..though we are not amused 😂

 

The views , “ attitude “ and spirit of this post are not aligned with Master T     thus we hope there remains a bit of room on VJ ( off topic or hot topics) for a voice of the other half.

Could Donald Trump serve as president if convicted?

Fmr. prosecutor: Why it's difficult to send powerful people to prison

 

CNN — 

Donald Trump has been indicted on federal charges related to 2020 election subversion, a stunning third time this year that the former president has faced criminal charges. 

But could the former president, who remains the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, assume the Oval Office again if convicted of the alleged crimes? In short, yes.

Ahh..Trump-Charging Document , Trump-Charges formerly known as Trump-Charging Document and now Trump Felonies @Family Thread have been “merged” into Master Thread . …
 

I think , I am getting the point that only one Trump Topic is allowed from here on…

I realize you are talking to yourself, but you do not get it.  Based on my reading you are fine to start a thread about Trump that does not deal with the legal issues the MSM wants to promote, but threads dealing with what the vaunted Jack Smith, or any other Trump prosecution issues (NYC, GA, etc.) belong in one place.

Sums it up pretty well.

 

Two Sets of Laws for Two Americas

 

So far Joe Biden seems exempt from just such legal jeopardy.

 

But as a senator and Vice President with no right, as does a president, to declassify files, Biden removed and, as a private citizen kept for years classified files in unsecure locations.

 

Biden’s team strangely revealed the unlawful removals after years of silence.

 

It did so because the Biden administration found itself in the untenable position of prosecuting the former president for “crimes” that the current president committed as well—albeit far earlier and longer.

The Indictment of Donald Trump Is The Real Threat To Democracy

 

[...] Having previously colluded with social media companies to censor disfavored opinions about the 2020 election, our ruling class, led by the Justice Department, now wants to criminalize such Wrongthink and deter those who would defend the Wrongthinkers.

 

Special Counsel Smith does so by reading President Trump's mind, claiming that despite what he has always maintained, Trump didn't really believe the election was stolen from him; that his election challenges were therefore fraudulent; and that thus he must be charged under whatever statutes can be twisted to fit the thought crimes.  [...]
