The Rude Pundit: The Gnawing Anxiety That Trump Will Get Away With All of It

[Mr. Ected]

13. There must be a missing page to the Constitution, or to our federal criminal statutes

A page that explains that politicians, particularly Presidents or ex-Presidents, by virtue of their unique status and the popularity that comes with it, are immune to our laws because pursuing them criminally might be viewed as anti-democratic by those who made him or her popular.

Thing is, no such page exists, this is the work of men and women entrusted with applying the laws who cower from their duty because of the fear of indignation and backlash from a political party. And let's not beat around the bush: the only party this applies to is the Republican Party, and God knows they're not trying to protect Trump or McCarthy or McConnell or any of those other scumbags shielding themselves with an -R next to their names. No, this is to protect the oligarchs, the billionaires, the corporations, the puppeteers, the ones who give the GOP their marching orders. They are the ones that cannot be touched. Trump's protection has nothing to do with Trump, but rather, those who prop up his party. The media is indeed complicit because they, too, are in the pocketbook of the mega-wealthy.

Please, Merrick Garland, prove me wrong. I'd like to think that the ideals of our founders are still alive and well and haven't been displaced by rabid capitalists intent on impressing their will on our democracy.
