Donald Trump reportedly has been indicted by a grand jury convened to explore absurd overreach by a George Soros puppet district attorney in Manhattan, and outrage is being expressed by the political right.
Duly noted, but it shouldn’t be surprising. This is merely more of the same.
There is an ongoing, curious contradiction among far left types, who want to allow shoplifters to run rampant in California (as long as they keep their take under $950 per trip it’s no big deal), yet want to throw conservatives into prison for jaywalking.
The left wants to defund police, but spare no expense manipulating the legal system to persecute conservatives.
The left sees no problem with the FBI fabricating evidence, altering interview reports and generally acting like the stereotypical secret police of tyrannical regimes, but demands it cannot be questioned for overstepping both the letter and spirit of laws because they are “protecting Democracy.”
If this is Democracy, give me Putin.
Meanwhile, nary a Biden needs fear a date with justice for their many alleged wrongdoings.
I’m not sure I buy the over-the-top proclamations that this political prosecution of Trump guarantees his nomination and strengthens his candidacy to return as president.
What I do buy is it dramatically deepens the existing political chasm in this country, heading us yet further down the path to what the economic types who debate hard vs. soft landings would call a hard split.
The City of Johnstown and our County of Cambria are ongoing evidence that long-term leftist control does not produce affluence or fairness.
Our nation is similarly rotten to the core with entrenched leftists in bureaucracy, “justice” departments and other aspects of the federal government, no matter what political party occupies the Oval Office or holds the majority in the branches of Congress.
The oft-noted weaponization of our intelligence agencies, law enforcement, courts and regulatory operations for political gain, is evidence the ship of equality long since has sailed.
Trump’s reported indictment is but the latest example.
I have read opinions by legal experts, including nonpartisan ones, who see the Trump “crime” as deeply troubling, a modern day example of the quote attributed to former Joseph Stalin head of secret police: “Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.”
It’s pretty easy to charge and convict people when the statutes can be manipulated, evidence can be fabricated and politically motivated juries and judges can be counted upon to come up with the correct verdicts.
But is this healthy for a nation? I would argue it is not and eventually this once-great nation will realize that.
