The Post 9/11 Weaponization of The U.S. Govt by sundance
Barack Obama and Eric Holder did not create a weaponized DOJ and FBI; the institutions were already weaponized by the Patriot Act. What Obama and Holder did was take the preexisting system and retool it, so the weapons of government only targeted one side of the political continuum.
This point is where many people understandably get confused.
#TrumpIndictment Alvin Bragg has shut down the entire city, called up 38,000 NYPD police officers, closed down the FDR Drive and is spending an estimated $200 million of city funds, all for a $130,000 NDA. I never thought I would see this level of corruption in the United States. https://twitter.com/EricTrump/status/1643337678736465920
2) This means that Trump lawyers could not possibly be the source of the leaks.
Ergo, the leaks are coming from DOJ. They must be investigated and punished.
Also, this is grounds for granting a motion highlighting jury pool poisoning and dismissing the indictment before it reaches even its one-month birthday.
All of this is so outrageous; it shocks the conscience. It's fundamentally anti-American.
1) I'm beginning to read the indictment against Trump. But even three pages in, it's clear that the leaks that preceded the indictment are far too close to what is actually being pleaded by DOJ to be a coincidence. For example, in paragraph 6a on page 3, we hear about the recording of the Bedminster call, which the MSNBC's of the world have been beating a dead horse about for quite a while based on such leaks.
1) I would strongly urge people, especially those who walk the deep weeds, to READ THE INDICTMENT carefully, before watching the remarks by special counsel Jack Smith as delivered today. What you will notice is that 31 of the 37 counts alleged in the indictment are individual counts, one per document, specific to Statute 793(e) which pertains to defense department information.
1) Iโve read the entire indictment.ย And I disagree @ mitchellvii.
Let me explain something to everyone about how statutory interpretation works. (And itโs clearly a weak spot for Jack Smith, given his 9-nothing smack down in the Supreme Court on the honest services case against former VA Bob McDonnell and his failed prosecution against wealthy Dem trial lawyer and VP candidate John Edwards. As the Edwards case shows,
3) It controls here over the Espionage Act unless, perhaps, Smith could show that Donald Trump was acting as a spy giving national defense info to our Nationโs enemies. And of course, he canโt because Trump is so loyal to the US he sweats Americana on a hot day and on a cold day his soup is red, white, and blue. So ironically, like many of the Leftโs plays are really a form of psychological projection, the Espionage Act (as to China, Romania, and Ukraine) #TrumpIndictment
