On my way to Formula 1 — at the Miami International Autodrome…
Hugh Hewitt: “THE SHOW TRIAL OF DONALD TRUMP: THE RAILROADING OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS IN PLAIN SIGHT…The Fourteenth Amendment, because of its guarantee that ‘nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws’ binds the courts of New York to the requirement of due process of law first stated in the Fifth Amendment. Former President Donald Trump is not receiving the process owed him by the Constitution of the United States.”
Hans von Spakovsky: “TRUMP’S NY PROSECUTION IS A BOGUS CASE BY A BOGUS PROSECUTOR…Neither the FEC nor the Justice Department ever filed an enforcement action against the Trump campaign or Trump personally over the payment; specifically, because it was not a campaign-related expense. You know what would have led to enforcement actions? If Trump had actually claimed this was a campaign-related expense and had used campaign funds to make the payment, I have no doubt he would have been prosecuted by the feds for the illegal use of campaign funds to pay a personal expense. That’s what former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., went to prison for after he pleaded guilty in 2013 to spending $750,000 on personal expenses.”
Andrew McCarthy: “I think the gag order is over-the-top and have said so…It is an arrogant expression of a judge convinced that nothing — not even free expression and robust political speech in a presidential election — takes precedence over the administration of justice in the farcical ongoing trial…If Merchan were truly interested in the administration of justice, he could have postponed the trial until after the November election.”
Jim Jordan, Nicole Malliotakis, and Jeff Van Drew: “AMERICAN PEOPLE CAN SEE THROUGH MANHATTAN POLITICAL TRIAL AGAINST TRUMP...For the first time ever in American history, a politically elected prosecutor is trying to jail a former president and current declared candidate for that office. This prosecution, coming less than seven months before the presidential election, threatens to undermine the election and ultimately harm our democracy… Americans see through this charade. They intuitively know when someone’s getting a raw deal. They see crime in Manhattan as Bragg spends his time prosecuting a president for political reasons. They see violent criminals roaming the streets and local businesses shutting down because it’s unsafe. Americans are smarter than Democrats give them credit for. Americans understand that politics is why President Trump is on trial.”
Paul Ingrassia: “ALVIN BRAGG’S LEGAL ASSAULT ON PRESIDENT TRUMP IS LAWFARE OF THE WORST KIND…To channel our eloquent Commander-in-Chief: For God’s sake it’s been seven years already, what the hell is another seven months going to make a difference! The choice to prosecute President Trump now, perhaps at the summit of his political clout, where most reputable polls have him trouncing Biden in the upcoming general election, just reeks of improprieties – and indeed, election interference – of the worst possible variety.”
Jed Shugerman: “I THOUGHT THE BRAGG CASE AGAINST TRUMP WAS A LEGAL EMBARRASSMENT. NOW I THINK IT’S A HISTORIC MISTAKE…Eight years after the alleged crime itself, it is reasonable to ask if this is more about Manhattan politics than New York law. This case should serve as a cautionary tale about broader prosecutorial abuses in America — and promote bipartisan reforms of our partisan prosecutorial system.”
Gregg Jarrett: “Hocus-pocus is a meaningless distraction or illusion that is intended to fool. That neatly summarizes District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against Donald Trump…It is Bragg, himself, who is guilty of election interference in 2024 by bringing a legally absurd case designed to take Trump off the campaign trail while his opponent, Joe Biden, freely blankets key states in advance of the November balloting. It’s a neat trick called ‘lawfare’ — weaponizing the law to persecute a political enemy under the guise of a legitimate prosecution. It doesn’t matter that any conviction will surely be overturned on appeal. By then, the damage will be done.”
Gregg Jarrett: “THE MYSTERIOUS 'OTHER CRIME' THAT IS NOT: MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY BRAGG HAS MANAGED TO BRING A POLITICALLY MOTIVATED CASE AGAINST TRUMP BY CONTORTING THE LAW BEYOND ALL RECOGNITION…Even the liberal New York Times has published several articles casting doubt on Bragg’s daffy legal theories. On Tuesday, it ran a blistering column written by Jed Handelsman Shugerman, a distinguished law professor at Boston University entitled, ‘I Thought the Bragg Case Against Trump Was a Legal Embarrassment. Now I Think It’s a Historic Mistake.’ I couldn’t agree more.”
Gregg Jarrett: “Any neutral and objective judge who is knowledgeable in the law would have long ago dismissed Bragg’s sham charges. Instead, the case went to Judge Juan Merchan whose anti-Trump bias is on conspicuous display whenever he takes the bench. His unconstitutional gag order on the leading candidate for president is but one in a string of head-banging pronouncements.”
Jonathan Turley: “TRUMP IS RIGHT — NEW YORK CASE IS AN ‘EMBARRASSMENT…Trump is right this is an embarrassment. The fact that we are actually talking about this case being presented in a New York court room leaves me in utter disbelief…You had this misdemeanor under state law that had run out. This is going back related to the 2016 election. They zapped it back into life by alleging that there was a campaign finance violations under the federal laws that doesn’t exist. The Department of Justice doesn’t view it this way.”
Jonathan Turley: “ALVIN BRAGG HAS HIS TRUMP TRIAL, ALL HE NEEDS NOW IS A CRIME: For many of us in the legal community, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case against former President Donald Trump borders on the legally obscene: an openly political prosecution based on a theory even legal pundits dismiss…Of course, neither Bragg nor his office has ever seen this type of criminal case in any other defendant. Ever. We’ve never seen a case like this one where a dead misdemeanor from 2016 could be revived as a felony just before the 2024 election.”
Jonathan Turley: “ON ALVIN BRAGG AND THE ART OF NOT TAKING THE LAW TOO SERIOUSLY…Bragg is vague as to what should have been noted on the ledgers for the payments. It is not even clear if Trump knew of this expense’s designation as a legal cost. However, it really did not matter, because the misdemeanor has been as dead as Dillinger for years…For months, Bragg has suggested that the ‘other crime’ was the violation of federal election laws, suggesting that the payment was really a campaign contribution Trump made to himself that was not properly recorded. The problem is that the Justice Department investigated that crime already and decided that it was not a viable criminal claim. It did not even seek a civil fine.”
Gregg Jarrett: “NY VS. TRUMP: DA BRAGG'S WEB OF DECEIT STARTS TO UNRAVEL…There’s no there there. But Alvin Bragg could care less. He deliberately commandeered a state statute that has no application to a federal election and twisted it into a pretzel to bring a preposterous charge against Trump that is utterly unsupported by the facts and the law.”
Rich Lowry: “REMEMBER WHEN BILL CLINTON STOLE THE 1992 ELECTION? The Arkansas governor’s political operation was, in part, an elaborate conspiracy to keep women who alleged to have had affairs with Clinton quiet. Hillary Clinton was an active participant in the schemes. And so, by Bragg’s logic, this Democratic power couple — dominant in the party for a decade or more and still honored today — comprises election thieves…State troopers were involved in procuring women for Clinton and had been pressured prior to the 1992 campaign not to talk. A Clinton loyalist named Buddy Young told one of the troopers during the campaign, ‘If you know what’s good for you, you’ll keep your mouth shut’… Now, if we take Alvin Bragg seriously, stealing the 1992 election has to be added to the list.”
Andrew McCarthy: “ALVIN BRAGG’S OUTRAGEOUS CONSPIRACY THEORY…Bragg is reluctant to be transparent about what he’s doing. After all, what he’s trying to enforce is not federal campaign law as it exists; it is a faux federal law that Bragg is making up as he goes along…Bragg law is not federal campaign law…Bragg is illegitimately undertaking to enforce federal campaign law and, in so doing, making up his own version of what federal campaign law provides — sharply different from what that law actually says and from the DOJ/FEC standards for enforcing it…What a farce.”
Andrew McCarthy: “HOW JUDGE MERCHAN IS ORCHESTRATING TRUMP’S CONVICTION…Bragg, a county district attorney responsible for enforcing state law, has no authority to prosecute federal crimes, much less crimes under FECA — a corpus so abstruse that Congress created a specialized bureaucracy, the Federal Election Commission, to ensure its uniform application, vesting the FEC and the Justice Department with exclusive enforcement jurisdiction…Yet, Judge Merchan has swallowed whole Bragg’s theory that he can enforce FECA.”
Andrew McCarthy: “BIDEN’S COLLUSION IN THE ANTI-TRUMP LAWFARE GAMBIT: The president is thoroughly complicit in the prosecutions of his opponent, which he hopes to ride to a second term in the Oval Office…Unlike Trump, Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign actually did violate the campaign-finance laws by misdescribing its disbursements in concocting the Russiagate smear (e.g., the production of the Steele dossier) as legal expenses rather than opposition research. Consequently, the FEC fined Clinton’s campaign. Now, let’s say a district attorney in some deep-red county in Florida, Texas, or Oklahoma theorized that Hillary had schemed to steal the 2016 election, and that the shady description of the Russiagate expenditures in her campaign’s ledgers amounted to falsification of business records under the laws of that DA’s state…”
Page 2: “Let’s say that ambitious Republican DA, in order to court the affections of MAGA populists or Clinton-loathing conservatives, had gotten a grand jury to indict Hillary on the Bragg theory — namely, falsification of records to conceal a violation of federal campaign law. Ask yourself this question: In those circumstances, do you think there’s a scintilla of a chance that the Biden Justice Department, with its exclusive jurisdiction over criminal enforcement of federal campaign law in the United States, would sit idly by while a red-state prosecutor, with no federal authority, indicted a Democratic icon? Or do you figure that they would instantly bury the state and federal courts in voluminous legal briefs to get the case shut down as a lawless abuse of power? Would the media–Democrat complex be cheering the prosecutor, or ripping him as a reckless hack who was making up his own version of federal campaign law in order to persecute a partisan rival?”…
Page 3: “Yet, when it comes to the trial in Manhattan, the Biden Justice Department is sitting on its hands and ignoring the district attorney’s usurpation of federal authority. There’s one reason and one reason alone for that: Bragg indicted Donald Trump. In the end, maybe this will all backfire on Democrats. But regardless of how it is being executed, never forget what the lawfare campaign is designed to do: Joe Biden hopes to ride these prosecutions of his opponent to a second term in the Oval Office.”
Andrew McCarthy: “HILLARY CLINTON, RECIDIVIST ELECTION-THEFT CONSPIRATOR…Regarding 1992, the Clinton campaign used a law firm as the intermediary for tens of thousands of dollars in payments to a private investigator (Jack Palladino) whose task was to obtain the silence of women who claimed to have had affairs with Bill Clinton…it turns out that this 1992 tactic — booking as legal fees what might euphemistically be called ‘research’ — was the blueprint for the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign, in cahoots with the Democratic National Committee. They paid their law firm, Perkins Coie, which retained the research firm Fusion GPS and its contractor, former British spy Christopher Steele, to generate the farcical Steele dossier that was shared with the FBI, the State Department, and the media to smear Trump as a clandestine agent of the Kremlin…
Page 2: “In the Clinton campaign and DNC filings with the FEC, the payments were disguised as ‘legal services’ and ‘legal compliance and consulting,’ rather than research…How cynically amusing, then, for Bragg to rationalize that Trump had to be charged because the 2016 election race was so tight that any deceptive scheme could have affected the outcome. It goes without saying that Bragg has not lifted a finger to prosecute Hillary.”
Paul Ingrassia: “HOW DONALD TRUMP'S MANHATTAN CRIMINAL TRIAL EPITOMIZES THE LEFT'S WAR ON THE CONSTITUTION - AND AMERICA: NEVER BEFORE IN AMERICA HAS A MAJOR PARTY LEADER IN JOE BIDEN WEAPONIZED THE JUSTICE SYSTEM TO PERSECUTE HIS BIGGEST POLITICAL ADVERSARY, IN DONALD TRUMP – UNTIL NOW…No fraud alleged. No statute cited. No crime asserted…If the rule of law is destroyed, if the Constitution no longer applies, we are a nation in ruin…At no other point in American history has the outcome of a presidential election been so pivotal for determining the fate of not just America, but the world. Not in 1980 at the height of the Cold War with Ronald Reagan; not in 1940 at the peak of World War II with Franklin Roosevelt; not even in 1860, at the outbreak of the Civil War, with Abraham Lincoln. The silver lining of all this is that the momentum is behind Trump, and he is poised to win – in a big, big way this election cycle. We cannot accept defeat; victory is our only choice.”
Garrett Ventry: “Judge Merchan’s gag order against President Trump is wildly unconstitutional and it is the peak of election interference. The entire campaign they’re running against President Trump has been lawfare. They can’t beat him at the polls.”
Mike Davis: “‘ELECTION INTERFERENCE’: BRAGG CASE GAG ORDER PUTS UNPRECEDENTED LIMITATIONS ON TRUMP CAMPAIGN: This unconstitutional and un-American gag order is yet another weapon used by Biden and his henchmen to silence his chief political rival, President Trump.”
Andrew McCarthy: “WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE LAW AND THE INDICTMENT DO NOT STATE WHAT THE CRIME IS…Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of former president Donald Trump violates both the federal and state constitutions… This is a prosecutor making it up as he goes along. Due process worthy of the name does not tolerate that.”
Andrew McCarthy: “BRAGG’S PROSECUTION OF TRUMP VIOLATES NEW YORK STATE’S CONSTITUTION…Congress gave the Justice Department and the FEC exclusive enforcement authority over federal campaign law to ensure uniform application nationally of what is an esoteric, constitutionally fraught area of law. To allow any local prosecutor in the country, despite having no federal jurisdiction, to implicate these laws and impose his own version of them is the antithesis of what Congress intended…Bragg’s prosecution violates the U.S. Constitution because he is trying Trump on a crime — conspiracy to steal an election by violating federal campaign law — that is not charged in the indictment and is not even a New York crime….
Page 2: Bragg’s prosecution also violates the New York constitution because the felony business-records-falsification statute he invokes fails to spell out, expressly and with specificity, the ‘other crimes’ that trigger it — and, in the instance of this prosecution against Trump, fails to spell out whether the state legislature intended to empower state prosecutors to enforce federal campaign law.”
Gregg Jarrett: “Make no mistake, Merchan’s poorly worded, vague, and semi-literate orders muffling Trump are a prior restraint on free speech that is protected by the First Amendment. There is no exception in the Bill of Rights for defendants in criminal trials. But clueless judges like Merchan often shred constitutional rights with lawless gag orders because they are arrogant and imperious. They are bullies who know that by the time there’s a successful appeal, the trial is over and the arguments are rendered moot. So, they get away with it, which only emboldens them. It should be pointed out that Merchan is an ‘acting’ judge, which is a felicitous description for a jurist who appears deeply unqualified to preside over the trial of a former president of the United States….
….Oh…and he just happens to be the same judge who presided over two other Trump cases. A coincidence? Hardly. What are the odds? Common sense and the law of averages make it highly improbable, since there are more than 100 trial judges in New York City. Bragg went ‘judge shopping’ and got what he wanted…Alvin Bragg’s Theater of the Absurd is an insult to the principles of justice that Americans hold dear.”
Gregg Jarrett: “NY VS. TRUMP: A TRIAL IN SEARCH OF AN IMAGINARY CRIME: Playwright Samuel Beckett would be proud. The Trump hush money trial is like ‘Waiting for Godot’ —a chaotic and nonsensical plot of absurdist fiction. The titular Godot, of course, never arrives…All of which makes it a trial in search of an imaginary crime. It doesn’t matter to Bragg that Trump perpetrated none of the crimes alleged during opening statements…He doesn’t care about the damage his meritless case is doing to the legal system. The DA’s objective is to sully the presumptive GOP nominee for president to unduly influence the upcoming election. It’s a politically motivated prosecution and a disgraceful abuse of the rule of law. Any honest, knowledgeable, and intelligent judge would have long ago tossed the case. Instead, it was given to Juan Merchan. His conspicuous bias against Trump is exceeded only by his seeming incompetence.”
Gavin Newscum, the failed Governor of California, who is allowing his once beautiful State to go to Hell, refuses to recognize that Republicans are the Leaders on I.V.F. (Fertilization) - We are the ones taking care of Women, and now, after 53 years, where both Parties and all Legal Scholars and Experts wanted the always difficult and contentious subject of Abortion to go back to the States, we got it done, and now the States are setting their own Rules and Regulations - and it’s really working! We’ve given the Abortion Issue back to the Voters. It’s clean, it’s decisive, and we’ve taken Radicalization by Democrats, the killing of a Child in the 8th Month, 9th Month, or even after Birth, off the table. It now seems probable that our Country can start to pull together on the always difficult and controversial Issue of Abortion. IT’S UP TO THE STATES NOW, WHERE EVERYBODY WANTS IT, AND WHERE IT ALWAYS SHOULD HAVE BEEN!
The primary reason for all of these terrible protests is Crooked Joe Biden. He is unable to talk, unable to reason, unable to put two simple sentences together, unable to even climb 3 steps to a helicopter, or the main stairs to Air Force One. In other words, his mind and body are shot. He is also, and has always been, a very dishonest man, a Manchurian Candidate, of sorts, receiving money, for no apparent reason, from foreign countries, and blatantly prosecuting his Political Opponent in an attempt to win the Presidential Election of 2024. This is Election Interference only used by Third World Countries. Now we have the protests, and Crooked Joe Biden doesn’t know what to do — Next will be World War Three, and everything else! We are a Nation in Serious Decline, a Failing Nation, but we will not be a Failing Nation much longer. Four years ago we were a GREAT NATION, AND WE WILL SOON BE A GREAT NATION AGAIN!!! MAGA2024
I never said that “some states may choose to monitor women’s pregnancies to possibly prosecute for violating any abortion bans.” This was made up by Democrats and the Fake News Media. After 50 years, Abortion is now up to the States, where everybody, Republican and Democrat, plus all legal scholars and experts, have wanted it to be. The people choose, and many States, like Ohio and Kansas, have chosen. Many others are in the process of choosing. Arizona’s Legislature has just voted to kill an old 1800’s law, and a new one will soon be voted on by the people. It is all working, will never go back to the Federal Government, and our Country will soon start uniting on this long contentious issue. At the same time, nobody wants to see abortion in the 7th, 8th, or 9th month or, execution after birth, as some states, like the former Democrat Governor of Virginia said, was permitted. Listen to your heart, but common sense must also be applied. Remember, politicians must also win elections!
