Updated: a day later, John Hinderaker claims the result here is proof that all of New York is biased against Trump and (whatever he might mean by) “the rule of law.”
He would prefer to claim — and pretend to see — a vast well organized left wing conspiracy to prevent Trump from achieving his autocratic goals, than to admit what we all know: the unanimous “no bills” are the result of a careful application of the law by a well seasoned prosecutor explaining it to the thoughtful grand jury. Peaceful dissent against the policies of an administration one opposes can never be a crime. Period. Suck that John — end update.
This result (no indictments — inaminously, against six people, in an attempt to criminalize peaceful but dissenting speech) is not remotely surprising to anyone who understands the United States Constitution. And not, to anyone who understands that the federal criminal justice system is not a political tool to be weilded by a psychopath — at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
These are dark times — but the system of checks and balances is — in general — working. Tangerine 2.0 is increasingly being shown for the petulant sociopath he is. Moreover, no one he is seeking retribution against is ever gonna’ go to jail. [But he still might, after 2028.] Here’s the latest:
…Sen. Kelly denounced the administration’s repeated efforts to target him and his colleagues.
“This is an outrageous abuse of power by Donald Trump and his lackeys,” he said in a statement. “Donald Trump wants every American to be too scared to speak out against him. The most patriotic thing any of us can do is not back down.”
Time and again, the Justice Department under Mr. Trump has brought questionable criminal cases against foes of the president — among them, James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, and Letitia James, New York’s attorney general.
Even though many of these cases have been weak, the department has apparently determined that it may be better to fail in court rather than push back against Mr. Trump’s well-known desire for revenge….
Geez — what a waste of skin that codger is. Out.
