To Everyone Celebrating Trump’s Indictment

 The American Spectator

                     Politicized prosecutions never stop with one person or one party.

Dana Bash, CNN

"The news of former President Donald Trump’s indictment by a Manhattan grand jury has been greeted with unabashed glee by Democrats, corporate media outlets, talking heads, and late-night “comedians.” These people clearly have no idea where this kind of politicized prosecution always leads. Once a ruling regime convinces the citizenry to accept the criminalization of political opposition, the inevitable result is a one-party state that systematically eliminates individual rights. That’s what Trump means when he says: “They’re not after me. They’re after you.”

"Those who applaud Trump’s indictment, or the other spurious attempts to prosecute him, are cheering for the demise of their own right to democratically choose their elected leaders. Like the ridiculous Russia collusion hoax, the two unconstitutional impeachments, and the absurd antics of the Jan. 6 Committee, the “hush money” indictment has little or no legal merit. Its purpose is to deprive the voters of the chance to cast ballots for Donald Trump in the next presidential election. His political opponents are afraid he will defeat President Joe Biden in 2024. As longtime Democrat Julian Epstein writes in the Wall Street Journal:

Polls show most Democratic voters don’t want Mr. Biden to run again, but Democratic elites apparently believe that any dissent from party leadership or independent thinking—even in the name of an obvious truth—is dangerous to their job security.…

[Biden]’s always been a gaffe machine, but the condition is worsening. The president seems frequently confused on stage, unable to identify public officials and even calling on a deceased official. None of us can imagine him surviving a press grilling without countless mistake

. . ."[Dana] Bash wasn’t listening. Like everyone else at CNN, she was elated by the prospect that this latest Trump drama might halt the mass exodus of viewers from her moribund “news” network. When Tacopina came on, she could hardly keep the excitement out of her voice when asking this arcane legal question: “Will there be a perp walk? You said you have done many of these before. Most of them do have perp walks.” She followed up by asking, “Will he have to take a mug shot?” Never mind that the U.S. legal system is being weaponized by the Democrats to go after its political opponents. This woman wants Barnum & Bailey.". . .More here...
