Go Ahead, Make Our Day: Indict Trump
According to The Independent, “Donald Trump is being investigated by the Justice Department as part of its criminal probe into attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, according to a report.”
If Trump is indicted, it only would make him more powerful. He would become a political prisoner. In jail, he could work out in the gym, eat less, lose 50 pounds and come out after his re-election tanned, rested and ready.
He would win all 50 states. Only the socialist swamp hellhole of Washington, D.C. would’t vote for him.
Which is why he won’t get indicted. AG Merrick Garland maybe be the reincarnation of Andrei Vishinsky, the Stalinist prosecutor at the Moscow Show Trials remembered for saying, “Show me the man, I’ll show you the crime.”
But unlike the Stalinist Soviet Union, America has real elections. Well, sometimes.
A presidential candidate actually could run from prison. Socialist Eugene V. Debs was convicted in 1918 for opposing World War I and the draft. Much as Trump now is opposing the Ukraine War. In 1920, Debs ran for president from prison on the Socialst Party ticket. If he won, he promised to pardon himself. He lost, but garnered 913,693 votes. In 1921, new President Harding commuted his sentence.
The Democrats also want Trump banned from running for president on some cooked-up theory based on the the Fourteenth Amendment banning insurrectionists from running for political office. But there was no insurrection on Jan. 6. Just a rowdy, legal demonstration got out of hand. Oh, and even AOC admitted the Capitol Police opened the doors to the protesters.
Then there’s the mysterious Ray Epps, who urged the protesters into the Capitol. Both these actions — opening the doors and whatever Epps did, which has not been investigated — show the whole Jan. 6 Committee has been a scam and a farce from the beginning. It’s Liz Cheney’s revenge for Trump dis’ing her mass-murdering father about the Iraq and Afghanistan debacles.
Assuming the Republicans don’t blow it, as they often do, they will take over Congress next January. They immediately should open a Jan. 6 inquiry of their own to find out what really happened that day, and why the Show Trial was perpetrated.
Among the Jan. 6 investigation’s atrocities was Mark R. Aungst. According to the July 23 Daily Wire:
A Pennsylvania man expecting his first grandchild and facing up to six months in prison for illegally entering the U.S. Capitol during the January 6 riot has died by his own hand.
Mark Aungst, 47, of South Williamsport, was to be sentenced September 27 by federal Judge Reggie Walton. He had pleaded guilty last month to a single charge of demonstrating or parading in a restricted building. He was reported dead on Wednesday.
“A loyal and dedicated man, Mark showed tremendous pride for God and his country,” read Aungst’s obituary on NorthcentralPA.com. “Above all else, Mark loved his daughter and any time they spent together, as she was truly his world.”…
Aungst did nothing violent. He was a gas field well service technician. That is, he was a manual laborer our overeducated, demended Rancid Ruling Elite despises. May he rest in peace.
As to Trump being indicted and jailed, let’s see if Garland and the comatose Biden dare to do it.
