In a perfect world you would be right, however the dirty prosecutor has a bag of many tricks. I was going to say you could write a book on the subject, but Sidney Powell already did (years ago before Trump).
I’ll give you a few of the common ones. Withholding exculpatory evidence, it seems they did this in Sidney Powells case and the first time I noticed this I thought thd prosecutors would get in trouble but I was shocked to learn they dont snd its all too common.
Another one is the process is the punishment, the DOJ may have unlimited resources but your average person doesnt fighting the DOJ will bankrupt most people, they plea to make it stop.
I didn’t even touch on the really dirty tactics of prosecutors like Weissmann who go after familly members to increase leverge or plain making up laws that dont exist by stitching multiple laws together.
In short, if you are in the sights of malicious prosecutor in the US, you’re pretty fucked, even if you are innocent!
Thats why I maintain the US legal system is in need of a major overhaul.
Someone is old enough to recognize what I am talking about is a left wing talking point since it disproportionatly affects poor people.
@MikeN1 solution (and analysis) is just one for which there are many, it points to the system of courts as a bottleneck for which overcharging provides a release.
A solution to this bottle neck according to @MikeN1 will be to increase public defenders.
Its the basis for a discussion, but as of late many on the left seem to have forgotten their principles in favor of tribalism.
The sources said Meadows informed Smith’s team that he repeatedly told Trump in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election that the allegations of significant voting fraud coming to them were baseless, a striking break from Trump’s prolific rhetoric regarding the election.
According to the sources, Meadows also told the federal investigators Trump was being “dishonest” with the public when he first claimed to have won the election only hours after polls closed on Nov. 3, 2020, before final results were in.
Meadows mans up.
If only there were a presidential candidate who was all over this and put his ass on the line just after the 2020 erection when it was really unpopular.
If you know who Robert Kagan is then this article from him needs little more in way of an introduction, if not and briefly he is a prominent talking head from the establishment in his own right, he is also husband to another prominent establishment figure who served both left and right administrations, Victoria Nuland.
Indeed reading this article there is no world Kagan imagines the establishment types working with Trump ever. Stop him by any means, legal or illegal and failing that, like in 2016 every estabishment type signing up for his administration should be with an eye to block his every move. To hell with democracy.
edit/ To add one more take and I got this impression too, the establishment basically admitting legal methods to remove Trump have failed and giving a green light to the illegal or any means including assassination.
Yep they are really pushing hard that a vote for Trump is a vote for Armageddon. Also Civil War apparently, as the new movie trailer has come out, and it’s pretty clear who are the “good guys”. Oh and there’s chatter about that Obama produced movie “leave the world behind”, I’m sure there’s some TDS woven into that as well.
It’s incredible how much money and effort goes into an agenda and narrative.
Now I’ll have to finish it. All I know so far is they made Julia Roberts into some megabitch. She might have thought, of kewlz, I can play the bad guy.
New narrative “Trump is Hitler” is being pushed, I noticed this for a while but a couple of days ago watching CNN and Kaitlan Collins pushed the narrative 3 times in about 10 seconds was so unnatural forced and contrived it was an obvious narrative, seems like I’m not the only one to notice.
In other news, Colorado Supreme Court kicks Trump off ballot.
Lol @ American Democracy. The decision will now go to the Supreme court of the USA, wait for the next left and media push wailing for Clarance Thomas to recuse himself. I suspect many watching are thinking “this is not how democracy is supposed to work”.
You know, for how terribly and openly corrupt Trump is, for how much of a conman and pathological liar he is, for how he so openly adulates (and parrots) Putin and lavishes praise on other dictators unflinchingly…it truly amazes me how Trump has been able to get as far as he has unscathed. Trump festering for as long as he has in the political sphere, causing untold levels of damage to America’s branding, among other things, is truly a testimony to how tolerant the United States has become of domestic enemies. Really a miracle he hasn’t been snuffed out yet – we all know he has been basically begging for persecution for quite some time now. It’s like the gov took Waco as a case study, and perhaps are over-correcting now. I don’t think it outlandish at all to believe that, if Trump acted the way he did in many other (developed, modern) countries, he would have been taken out of the running (via means legal or illegal) long, long ago.
