Dems will infiltrate Trump street protests to turn them violent[?]

 The Aspen beat

"Donald Trump has characterized his impending arrest this week as a political vendetta, and has urged his supporters to take to the streets in protest.

"I agree with him that it’s a political vendetta, but disagree about taking to the streets.

"It is indeed a nakedly political act by the Manhattan District Attorney. Numerous other prosecutors including sophisticated federal prosecutors have reviewed this same evidence, and have declined to pursue this case.

'Rightly so. It’s a lousy case. The legal theory is a stretch. Moreover, the prosecution’s fact witnesses are not credible. One is a former porn star who has been caught numerous times lying and the other is Trump’s former lawyer who is willing to say anything he’s told to say in order to save his own hide.

"Layer on top of that a prosecutor who is not exactly a top-notch trial lawyer and is known to get money from George Soros, and you have, as I said, a lousy case, even in New York where Trump has gone from loved to reviled. The prosecution will lose.

"The result of that loss will be to boost Trump’s election chances because it will cast him as a wrongly persecuted martyr. Elon Musk – no dummy – declared that the case would guarantee Trump’s election. I wouldn’t go that far, but I do think it will help Trump.

"Unless….

"Unless there are violent protests. If that happens, the Dems will portray it as a Jan. 6 redo. It’s certainly true that the Dems overplayed the mostly peaceful (as they would describe it if they were the instigators) Jan. 6 incident, but the point is that they overplayed it with some success. The midterms, for example, went surprisingly well for them.

"The Dems and their media allies will do the same with another protest, and they will do it even better this time because it will start to look like a pattern with Trump and his supporters.

"You think the protests won’t turn violent? Consider this. The Dems want that violence in order to paint Trump and his supporters as violent people. They are sure to infiltrate the protests in the guise of being on Trump’s side, just as the FBI apparently did on Jan. 6, for the express purpose of inciting violence in otherwise peaceful crowds of Trump supporters. Trump, his supporters, and Republicans in general will get the blame.

"It will be a case of Antifa thugs costumed in MAGA hats.

"My advice to Trump supporters is don’t take the bait. If you stay home, Trump can and will win his case and very possibly his campaign. On the other hand, if you take to the streets, it might feel good, but the price you pay for that evening of feel-goodery will be another four years of a presidency led by the stupid, corrupt Biden crime family that is destroying America."  (Emphasis mine, TD)

Dershowitz: Bragg's Trump probe 'worse than Al Capone,' Soros trying to 'corrupt' justice system | Just The News    "Harvard professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz says Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's reported efforts to criminally charge former President Trump over the paying of hush money to an adult film actress is "worse than Al Capone" – referring to how law enforcement finally got the Chicago businessman and alleged gangster behind bars for tax evasion.

" 'This is worse than Al Capone, because in Al Capone's case, at least they got him on legitimate income tax violations," Dershowitz said about the prosecution of the mobster who was sentenced in 1931 to 11 years in prison for not paying taxes.

"The adult film actress, Stormy Daniels, was paid $130,000 during Trump's 2016 presidential campaign for an alleged affair years earlier that Trump has denied.

"Dershowitz said the Trump probe is also worse because the prosecutor "had to make up a crime" by pursuing a misdemeanor and a felony, both of which were beyond the statute of limitations and were not prosecuted by the previous district attorney nor the Justice Department.". . .

Politicians and pundits react to possible Trump arrest and indictment | Just The News  . . ."Now illegal leaks from a corrupt & highly political Manhattan district attorneys office, which has allowed new records to be set in violent crime & whose leader is funded by George Soros, indicate that, with no crime being able to be proven, & based on an old & fully debunked (by numerous other prosecutors!) fairytale, the far & away leading Republican candidate & former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week," Trump wrote.

"House Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced via social media that he was going to direct committees to look into whether federal funds were used for this impending indictment.

" 'Here we go again — an outrageous abuse of power by a radical DA who lets violent criminals walk as he pursues political vengeance against President Trump," McCarthy wrote. ". . . 

House Judiciary Committee Demands Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Hand Over Documents and Testify Regarding Possible Donald Trump Indictment | The Gateway Pundit . . ."There is still one more witness that must testify before any indictment and arrest of Trump can happen, however. Trump expects that this witness, former Rudy Giuliani lawyer Robert Costello, will ultimately clear him of wrongdoing.

"Fox News has more on the Jordan letter to Bragg:

Jordan warned Bragg that if news reports of a possible Trump indictment are accurate, Bragg’s actions “will erode confidence in the evenhanded application of justice and unalterably interfere in the court of the 2024 presidential election.”

“In light of the serious consequences of your actions, we expect that you will testify about what plainly appears to be a politically motivated prosecutorial decision,” Jordan wrote.

“The legal theory underlying your reported prosecution appears to be tenuous and untested,” Jordan wrote.

Peter Schweizer’s ‘Drill Down’ Follows the Money on Latest Biden Family Corruption Revelations (breitbart.com)  . . ."In many ways, the Bidens took a page from Bill and Hillary Clinton, who used the Clinton Foundation as a slush fund to underwrite their personal lifestyles. But where the exorbitant payments to Bill Clinton for making speeches was more open, the pattern set by the Bidens is to deliberately seek to obscure the role of Joe Biden in the family business. One of the arrangements revealed from email exchanges recovered from the laptop, for example, discusses Hunter getting an extra stake of a business proposal from the Chinese energy company CEFC reserved as “10% for the big guy.' ” . . .

When Leaders Get Scared -The US Retreat Has Huge Implications

 Stephen Bryen (substack.com)  "While it may look like the United States is being tough and forceful in Ukraine, the reverse is true.  The US is showing incredible weakness, and it is wearing it on its sleeve.

"Let's start with Ukraine.  The US has gone all out to try and help Ukraine win a victory over the Russians.  The Biden administration wants this to happen for two reasons: to show that Biden is not a wimp and won't cut and run like he did in Afghanistan (and on this the 20th anniversary of the War in Iraq, like his predecessor Obama did by pulling US forces out of Iraq) and that he wants to "strengthen" NATO by eventually putting a NATO army in Ukraine.  

"The reason for not wanting to look like a wimp is self-evident and does not need any further explanation, other than to say that Washington elites have bought into the false narrative that Ukraine is a glowing democracy and we should defend it.  Of course, the US disrupted Ukraine's free politics and pushed the rebellion against a properly elected government.  Likewise the US also has kept its mouth shut about the political repression in Ukraine, the jailing of political opponents, and the complete takeover of all the media in the country.  Ukraine also has mistreated the Russian speaking population, essentially putting pressure on Russian speakers to leave the country. The latest twist on this highway of suppression is Zelensky-led attacks on the Russian Orthodox Church, with the most recent manifestation closing a centuries-old monastery and forcing out the Orthodox Monks from the property.  Zelensky, to make Washington happy, is pretending to go after corrupt officials in a country famous for corruption (both under the old Soviet leadership and the post-Soviet Ukrainian regimes).". . .

Most underreported story: Evidence of the Biden family’s $ millions from China now documented with bank records - American Thinker   . . ."But the media silence won’t stop the flow of records, and won’t stop the depositions and testimony to come. I take Comer at his word that the Biden camp assumed the bank records would never come to light. They know what kind of money is involved, and they must realize how toxic this could become.

"Whether or not the case of Alvin Bragg against Trump is an attempted distraction – a very successful one so far – doesn’t really matter. An enemy funding a president with millions of dollars is a story that can’t be contained.

"Here is the full interview: 

"If anyone thinks conditions will improve soon, just wait until this same Justice Department indicts Trump for “inciting” the events of January 6"...Julie Kelly

. . .Before January 6, 2021, an American political leader who called for mass protests would not be heard as calling for violence. Trump, in fact, did not encourage his followers to behave violently.. . .

The Death of Dissent; American Greatness, Julie Kelly  "The lead prosecutor in charge of the January 6 investigation, the largest probe in Justice Department history, just confirmed what American Greatness has reported for months: the number of criminal cases related to the Capitol protest is expected to at least double before it’s all over.

"U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves, an advisor to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign who took over the powerful office in late 2021, sent a letter to the chief judge of the D.C. District court warning up to 1,200 more individuals could face charges. 

"“We expect the pace of bringing new cases will increase, in an orderly fashion, over the course of the next few months,” Graves told Beryl Howell, who ended her term as chief judge last week. Graves’ office just surpassed 1,000 total defendants in what he renamed the “Capitol Siege” investigation—which means the final caseload might well exceed 2,000.

"Graves also indicated his team would ramp up the number of felony indictments; the overwhelming majority of charges so far are low-level offenses, including the laughable “parading in the Capitol” misdemeanor. The Biden regime clearly wants to juice the numbers before the 2024 election season.". . .

. . ."Regardless of the disparate responses from both political sides, the clear winner here is the Biden regime, and the Justice Department in particular. The ongoing manhunt for Trump supporters is yielding victories of all sizes, not the least of which is the elimination of once-cherished rights to petition the government and redress grievances without being considered a domestic terrorist.". . .

"NYC workers on Monday began erecting barricades near a courthouse in lower Manhattan.

 A Tuesday arrest has been rumored since Saturday, when Trump initially referenced it on his Truth Social app. "Trump's messaging, via Truth Social: "Illegal leaks from a corrupt and highly political Manhattan District Attorney's Office, which has allowed new records to be set in violent crime and whose leader is funded by George Soros, indicate that, with no crime being able to be proven, and based on an old and fully debunked (by numerous other prosecutors!) fairytale, the far and away leading Republican candidate and former president of the United States of America, will be arrested on Tuesday of next week," wrote Trump. "Protest, take our nation back."

"Since that pronouncement, many Republican officials have defended Trump, characterizing the potential charges against him as false and/or politically motivated.". . .

John Kennedy Has Advice for Trump Supporters Upset With Possible Indictment

Prepare for accelerated gloating on the TV talk shows.

 Julio Rosas (townhall.com)  "Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) added his voice to the calls for calm ahead of the possibility for former President Donald Trump getting indicted and arrested at the behest of Manhattan's District Attorney Alvin Bragg over alleged payments to Stormy Daniels.". . .

. . .Trump posted on Truth Social he was going to be arrested on Tuesday but his 2024 campaign says they have not gotten confirmation if such an event will take place tomorrow. Nevertheless, the news of Trump potentially being handcuffed over something that prosecutors have chosen to not pursue in years past has riled up his base. Trump has called for protests to take place.

"Kennedy was asked about the issue on Monday during an appearance on "Fox & Friends."

" 'I just wanted to ask one tiny little question to wrap this up, and that is, after he announced on TRUTH Social that he supposes he’s going to be arrested tomorrow, Donald Trump said, people should protest, protest, protest. Kevin McCarthy came out and said, ‘Don’t protest.’ Where do you come down on this?" Steve Doocy asked.

"Well, in America, you’re — you’re free to protest. You’re not really free if you can’t express yourself. But do it peacefully. Don’t — don’t — don’t be a knucklehead and — and — and riot. Do it peacefully," Kennedy answered.

"Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said people should not protest if Trump is arrested but made it clear what Bragg is doing is not in the name of justice.". . .

Stanford Law students that shouted down federal judge demand reporter hide their names and obscure their faces

 Stanford Law students that shouted down federal judge demand reporter hide their names and obscure their faces - American Thinker  "Apparently, you don’t have to be that bright to get into Stanford’s law school, formerly regarded as highly competitive and demanding in its legal education. The budding totalitarians there who don’t believe in free speech for people with whom they disagree also apparently believe that they have to right to control news coverage of their heinous acts.  Are they ashamed of what they did, or do they just worry that they may not be able to cash in after graduation with lucrative offers or prestigious clerkships?

"Washington Free Beacon reporter Aaron Sibarium “appeared Sunday on Fox News and shared his blunt response to "hypocritical" Stanford Law School students who have demanded their names be removed from his reporting about their controversial activism.”

Judge Duncan describes his 'struggle session' at Stanford Law – HotAir

. . ."Many people have seen the video showing the disruption of his speech by students and a DEI dean. In his account, Judge Duncan explains the hostility started before he even entered the building.

When I arrived, the walls were festooned with posters denouncing me for crimes against women, gays, blacks and “trans people.” Plastered everywhere were photos of the students who had invited me and fliers declaring “You should be ASHAMED,” with the last word in large red capital letters and a horror-movie font. This didn’t seem “collegial.” Walking to the building where I would deliver my talk, I could hear loud chanting a good 50 yards away, reminiscent of a tent revival in its intensity. Some 100 students were massed outside the classroom as I entered, faces painted every color of the rainbow, waving signs and banners, jeering and stamping and howling. As I entered the classroom, one protester screamed: “We hope your daughters get raped!”…

The protesters weren’t upset by the subject of my talk—a rather dry discourse on how circuit courts interact with the Supreme Court in times of doctrinal flux. Rather, I was their target. While in practice, I represented clients and advanced arguments the protesters hate—for instance, I defended Louisiana’s traditional marriage laws. As for my judicial decisions, among the several hundred I’ve written, the protesters were especially vexed by U.S. v. Varner. A federal prisoner serving a term for attempted receipt of child pornography (and with a previous state conviction for possession of child porn) petitioned our court to order that he be called by feminine pronouns. As my opinion explained, federal courts can’t control what pronouns people use. The Stanford protesters saw it differently: My opinion had “denied a transwoman’s existence.”

America’s Uncle Joe has his own Beria

 

'When I saw the news yesterday that Attorney General Merrick Garland was appointing a special counsel to once again target Donald Trump, the first thing that popped into my head was that famous quote attributed to Stalin’s notorious henchman Laventiy Beria: “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime.”

“Uncle Joe” Stalin had Laventiy Beria. Uncle Joe Biden has Merrick Garland.

'But tell me again how Republicans are the authoritarian tyrants.

"Now, according to Attorney General Beria, the reason he appointed former federal prosecutor Jack Smith as Trump’s Grand Inquisitor three days after Trump announced his 2024 run for the presidency was to ensure the ongoing investigation into Joe Biden’s political opponent remained “independent.”

"That made me laugh out loud.

"This is how the loose-lipped Joe answered the question:

“Well, we just have to demonstrate that he will not take power by — if we — if he does run. I’m making sure he, under legitimate efforts of our Constitution, does not become the next President again.” [emphasis Dianny’s]

Cartoons - American Thinker

Comments to the above article:    

Everything Biden has done weakens America and strengthens China. A partial list: crippling our oil and gas industry, detonating an inflation bomb in the form of the Covid Relief Bill, turning our border over to Mexican human smuggling and drug cartels, weaponizing the DoJ and FBI against its own citizens for purely political purposes, and pushing toxic and divisive woke ideologies.

China openly declares they intend to destroy America and replace us as the world’s only remaining superpower. Hopefully they will ultimately fail, but in the meantime, Biden is making sure they get their money’s worth.

William H Dexter II  I suspect this is the reason for the timing of Trump's pending arrest. Nothin' to see here, folks. Speaker McCarthy, you're up!
