What the Democrats are doing to him is beyond anything that exists in American law.
"Has Trump redeemed himself? I don’t know. But I do know he never did and never would get involved with any woman other than his wife while in office. I trust him there. John F. Kennedy was not that pristine while in office, though the media covered for him. LBJ walked around on airplanes with his private male organ exposed, for the media to see . . ."
"I attended UCLA School of Law from August 1990 to May 1993. I was chief articles editor of the UCLA Law Review and then moved on to clerk for a brilliant (I add: most brilliant) federal appeals court judge, the Hon. Danny J. Boggs of the United States Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit. I then practiced complex civil litigation for more than a decade at three of America’s most prominent powerhouse law firms, moving over to teaching law school for nearly 20 years. Yes, I am a rabbi of 40-plus years who knows Judaic law and the Bible pretty respectably by now, but I also know American law every bit as well as the pundits you see on TV. And those pundits don’t make puns.
"What the Democrats and their media co-conspirators are doing to former and future President Donald Trump is beyond anything that exists in American law, and they are destroying our country. You see, here is how it works:
"Nixon screwed up but did not deserve to be thrown out of office. It was not he who cooked up the bungled Watergate break-in. He probably fumed when he learned about it. He was leading in the polls at the time by 2 million points, give or take Massachusetts, and he did not need to do anything because George McGovern was campaigning for him. No one wanted McGovern. No one. Then Nixon learned that his backers broke into the Watergate Hotel, yada-yada-yada. What should he have done?
"The leftist media know he should have called 9-1-1 and turned them in. But that is not realistic. What kind of jerk learns that his closest friends, on their own, tried to “do him a solid” but messed up, so he then snitches on them to the fuzz? No one does that. You cannot do that. You can call out others for failing to do that, but you never would do that yourself. If there had been a Fox News at the time, for all their flaws, Nixon’s side would have gotten a nightly airing, and he would have gotten censured but not impeached. But the Democrats smelled blood.
"That day was the day that the impeachment of Bill Clinton began. No one had ever heard of him, but that didn’t matter. Sooner or later, the Republicans were going to retaliatorily impeach a Democrat. Then the Dems impeached Trump, and then the GOP impeached Alejandro Mayorkas. It never mattered whether there were enough votes in the Senate to convict Clinton, Trump, or Mayorkas. Once it started with Nixon, it had to be avenged, and then more retaliation, and then more. Nixon never should have faced impeachment. Clinton dishonored himself and deserved to be sued in civil court serially by the women he abused, but you don’t impeach a president because he lies to a lawyer in a deposition over whether he “had sex” with a female while he falsely swears to his wife at home each night that he never touched her. It is what it is. Trump’s phone call to Volodymyr Zelensky was perfectly reasonable. Of all the politicized impeachments, the only one that is legit is the present one to throw out Mayorkas. And the Democrats dismissed it before it could begin.
"Let the word go forth from this time and place (my column at The American Spectator) that the Trump lawfare obscenities will unleash lawfare against the Bidens after January 2025 or whenever his time ends. If Joe is reelected and dies in office, they still will go after Hunter and all the other Bidens. Then the Democrats will go after the next Republican president like Ron DeSantis or whoever, and then the GOP will imprison the next Democrat after. Welcome to the Banana Republic. Make sure not to slip on the peels in Aisle 8 while the criminal attorneys file slips on appeal in Courtroom 8." . . .
