Due Process: Is that like when you whip up a crowd into a frenzy chanting "Lock her up" about your political opponent and insist you'll hire a Special Prosecutor to imprison before she's been charged with doing anything wrong?

(5,101 posts)I have watched her in a few videos, she is wonderful. Very clair, she explains very simply, complicated notions in Law.
I'm saying it as professional too (not at all in criminal Law).
In one of the videos, she pointed something very interesting and often missing. You can't start any case if you don't have a basis.
Trump can shout as loud as he want, if there is a case and investigations conducted, there is something that brought the DOJ to start it.
He is doing his best to turn the country into a banana republic with arbitrary as a dominant rules, but the US are still a democracy where check and balances are still alive.
Now, only for the precision, opening a case and investigating does not necessary mean guilt.
What a difference with Jeanine Spirro (?) not sure of the spelling. Was she reallly judge ????
How did she get her diploma ?
