The two big stories this week illustrate the corruption of the legal system and of the Democrat party, which controls key portions of it. As well, they illustrate the media’s continuing effort to deny us the truth we see with our own eyes.
The Indictment of President Trump
New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Jr. has indicted former President Trump. Arraignment is scheduled on Tuesday. Sometime before then we are likely to see the charges against him, which reportedly — as is the normal order of weak cases — run to over 20 counts. Charging so many counts is a prosecutorial trick based on experience: Some jurors may think the more counts there are the greater the likelihood of a pony hiding in the manure pile; others may just want to get out of the deliberations and agree to one or two to get out of there. Almost universal criticism of this move, by even the editors of the Washington Post, suggests there is ample reason to believe this is a meritless, politically motivated prosecution.

Quick polls suggest that this view has purchase:
“Republicans (93 – 5 percent) and independents (70 – 26 percent) think the Manhattan District Attorney’s case is mainly motivated by politics, while Democrats (66 – 29 percent) think the case is mainly motivated by the law,” Quinnipiac announced in a press release.
Per Quinnipiac, that means that 62% of all Americans “think the Manhattan District Attorney’s case involving former President Donald Trump is mainly motivated by politics, while 32 percent think the case is mainly motivated by the law.
Bragg’s office (a New York state operation) received federal funds to investigate Trump, and if you think Attorney General Merrick Garland was not in some way involved in this matter, you and I are in disagreement.
Within 24 hours of the announcement of the indictment, supporters donated $4 million dollars to Trump. In the meantime, the Secret Service is working with law enforcement in New York to coordinate the arraignment choreography. Of course, given the prejudice against him in New York among jurists and likely jurors, the case is not without danger to him, but I wonder how many Secret Service personnel would be tasked to serving in jail with him?
Apart from the absurdity of charging him on matters long dismissed by even Bragg himself, the first thing that comes to my mind is that this is once again evidence of the two-tiered justice system. Vivek Ramaswamy, a very brilliant candidate for president, shares this belief, tweeting:
America now has a two-tiered justice system: — Trump is indicted while Clinton pays a small fine — Antifa & BLM rioters roam free while Jan 6 protesters are imprisoned without bail — Douglass Mackey faces 10 years for the same joking memes that Kristina Wong posts with impunity
You could throw a dart at a chart of recent prosecution efforts and hit more examples than Vivek cites. Just this week the FBI counterterrorism unit (apparently on a break from spying on school-board meetings) arrested a Virginia grandma. Her purported crime? She accompanied her elderly mother on a peaceful 15-minute walk in the Capitol on January 6.
