America's Alice-in-Wonderland judicial system

 


This first post is Joy Reid-worthy:   Maxine beyond repair - Silvio Canto, Jr.  . . ."Democratic Representative Maxine Waters stated Donald Trump supporters are “training in the hills” in preparation for an attack.

“I want to know about all of those right-wing organizations that [Trump] is connected with who are training up in the hills somewhere and targeting what communities they are going to attack,” she said.

Waters’ allegation comes as she fears what might happen if US President Joe Biden wins the November 5 election.

The 85-year-old appeared on MSNBC’s ‘The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart’ when she made the bold claim.

Waters’ comments about Trump could be considered hypocritical after she ordered her supporters to “absolutely harass” members of Trump’s cabinet in 2018.

"To be honest, I don't follow MSNBC -- I'd rather watch cartoons -- but these comments from the congresswoman merit some response."

. . ."Of course, the Congresswoman knows that MSNBC is the only venue on TV that would let her say that. Even “desperately looking for ratings” CNN would pull the plug on this woman and tell her to get some help, and quickly." . . .

Jack Smith's Lawfare Scheme Under Scrutiny and Fraying -  "Prior to the Obama-era the radicals tearing down government defended the transparently guilty, their allies and fellow traveling communists. Those who were arrested for violence the radicals supported, were defended, excused and their activity justified.

"After the election of Obama, as noted first by author Jack Cashill, something changed; the radicals reversed their position. Instead of defending the transparently guilty, the Obama aligned usurpers -now with actual power at their fingertips- began accusing the transparently innocent.

"In the “anger games” era of Barack Obama, the radicals began attacking the innocent and using their allies in media as part of the attack narrative. George Zimmerman, Darren Wilson, the Baltimore-six, etc. The list is long; we tracked them all with detailed research; however, the theme amid every story was the same. Isolate, ridicule and marginalize the transparently innocent target and make them appear guilty." . . .

The kangaroos keep coming in Judge Merchan's courtroom - Monica Showalter

. . ."He's telling Smith what he's allowed to testify about instead of letting New York district attorney Alvin Bragg make those arguments to the jury. He's saving Alvin the hard work of having to defend his flimsy politically motivated prosecution by gagging Trump's best witness.

Victoria Taft at PJMedia points out that this testimony could well make a difference in how the jury views the so-called 'crime' of this argument over bookkeeping entries." . ..

 FNC's Turley: Judge Merchan 'Lost Control of His Courtroom'  The trial has been the punishment. TD

. . . [Turley] continued:

So the court had the opportunity repeatedly to say we are not going to take this courtroom through details of this relationship. If you want to establish a relationship occurred, do so. Establish the dates, it’s likely those facts could’ve been been stipulated to. So the prosecutors wanted to get salacious details out. This is a form of punishment. They are trying to use a witness for punitive purposes and in my view, political purposes, and this is what happens. It happened because the judge lost control of his courtroom.

"John Roberts said, “There seems to be no argument, Jonathan, that this was only to make Trump look like a bad guy. ”

"Turley said, “You know, you really can’t have this cat walk backward. The judge knows that, the prosecutors know that, but what the prosecutors are arguing here is completely ridiculous.”


Georgia Appeals Court Agrees to Review Fani Willis Disqualification Ruling | The Epoch Times     "The Georgia Court of Appeals has agreed to review the decision a trial court judge issued that allowed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to stay on the high-profile case against former President Donald Trump so long as she took a special prosecutor off the case to avoid the appearance of impropriety." . . .
