Prosecuting organized crime
Last week, Donald tRump seamlessly went from the White House to the golf course like he has done hundreds of times before. Only this time, it was after failed assassination attempts of important political figures and an attempted coup of the most powerful Democracy in history. Several people died, including police. If this were nearly any other legitimate government, he would have been thrown in jail (or worse) for the evidence pointing to his likely part in the highest crime against his country. But because our country is built on the Constitution and due process and because our judicial process has been so compromised by radical political agendas, tRump is free to go to his luxury resort and play another round.
Sorry, but it just seems so wrong.
Fortunately, unlike the politics of Impeachment, our criminal justice system does not rely on beliefs, assertions, factoids, Q-anon myths or blanket denials. The Impeachment trial won’t “prove” anything. Fortunately, tRump may not be able to run for office even if he isn’t convicted in the Senate. Because if justice prevails, Federal prosecutors will prove their criminal case and tRump will spend the rest of his natural life in jail. Think about that—he should be doing life for one of the biggest crimes anyone’s ever attempted. Ever. Based only on public information, there is a mountain of evidence for our Justice Dept. to prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law now that it is free from RW political pressure and can do its job again. The Feds win 90% of their cases. They aren’t worried about their poll numbers, calls for unity or the future of the Republican party, just facts.
There are conspicuous omissions on the FBI Wanted list. No mention of the tRump family or their associates or any active politicians, despite shocking public evidence against these parties. But that doesn’t mean that the ongoing case being quietly built against them isn’t going to be the real story. The evidence is piling up, from the laundered dark money trail to the expansive video surveillance to the Atlanta phone call and tRumps own Tweet history. The Buffalo-head spiritual leader of the coup rolled on tRump the minute he got busted, and there's no doubt the Feds are squeezing all the other soldiers and Capo’s to build cases on the underbosses (Cruz, Hawley, Et Al.) and ultimately, The Don himself. This was organized crime. The organizers cultivated, emboldened, coordinated, funded, transported, directly addressed and incited unrelated groups, some of which even had conflicting interests, but united towards one common goal. It could not have happened without tRump’s say-so. And with cell phone records, un-deletable social media posts, thousands hours of audio/video records and a chorus of turncoat witnesses, the politicians responsible for this needn’t worry about “political fallout.” If convicted, they aren’t going to get community service for this; they are going to jail.
The Impeachment is about politics. The criminal trial will be about facts, evidence and ultimately, justice.
