Unequal Justice: Trump’s Legal Woes are Multiplying

The House of Representatives is likely to amass an unassailable record of the former President’s part in inciting the January 6 insurrection, setting the stage for possible prosecution.


The legal noose is tightening around Donald Trump’s neck. Although we are still far from seeing the former commander-in-chief outfitted in a prison jumpsuit, Trump faces legal jeopardy on a variety of fronts related to his long history of corruption in the private sector and his malfeasance as President. And make no mistake: as Trump runs out of cards to play, the jeopardy becomes less and less of a political game he can spin in his favor. Things are getting serious.

Several recent developments have improved the odds that Trump will be brought to justice.

Snip…

While Trump has not yet been charged individually, the indictment refers to an “unindicted co-conspirator” who allegedly “agreed to and implemented” Weisselberg’s tax evasion scheme. Since little happens in Trump’s financial empire without his knowledge and consent, the reference points to Trump, who could well be named as a defendant in the near future by way of an amended indictment.

Attorney General Letitia James has joined Vance’s criminal probe, fortifying the courtroom firepower arrayed against Trump. In 2019, James opened a separate civil investigation of Trump’s business practices that could result in significant fines and the formal dissolution of the Trump Organization.

In addition, Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani Willis has convened two grand juries to investigate Trump for pressuring the Georgia Secretary of State to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In March, Willis reportedly hired attorney John Floyd, a nationally recognized authority on racketeering and conspiracy law, to advise her on the probe.

Instituting policies that result in the deaths of children counts.

DeSantis imitates Trump, whose actions and inactions likely have killed untold hundreds of thousands.

So, yes, I do know what the NAZIs did. In fact, I’ve devoted a good part of my life to fighting them every way I can. Here’s one example of a DU post:

How Real Nazis Came to the Americas: the Recruitment of Klaus Barbie

ETA from 2013: Two Warren Commissioners had extensive ties to NAZI Germany...

And, for the record, I am a Puerto Rican man of English heritage via Wisconsin, “whatever that is.”

Ron DeSantis is NAZI scum.



Eight Times Ron DeSantis "Accidentally" Did Racist Stuff

JERRY IANNELLI
Miami New Times, SEPTEMBER 4, 2018

After enough racism scandals involving a particular political candidate, you'd think everyone might just admit that person is simply racist. Yet a whole lot of people — from bad-faith conservative pundits to easily fooled reporters — continue offering excuses for Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis' infamous statement on Fox News that Andrew Gillum would "monkey... up" Florida.

SNIP…

1. He spoke at a Muslim-bashing event alongside Milo Yiannopoulos and Steve Bannon.

SNIP…

2. He called New York candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is a Puerto Rican woman, "whatever she is."

SNIP…

3. He defended a supporter who said "bring back the hanging tree."

SNIP…

4. He was moderator of a Facebook group that was a haven for racist memes and was run by lunatics.

SNIP…

5. He proudly associated himself with Sebastian Gorka, who has ties to a Hungarian far-right group that collaborated with the Nazis.

CONTINUES…
