The James Gang
A new criminal enterprise led by Tish Beria James and Judge Arthur Kafka Engoron.
One of the primary traditions of America is the simple sense of fair play - it is even enshrined in our Constitution in the body of the document and in the several Amendments. The theme throughout is the protection of the individual against powerful interests, any sort of bias, or an all-powerful government. No matter the status or standing, every individual is seen as innocent until proven guilty and is allowed an unbiased jury of their peers.
To anyone paying attention, especially during our Kafka period from 2015 to present, it is abundantly clear that Democrats and NeverTrump Republicans not only oppose the traditions of America, they oppose the basis for those traditions and are aiming at the very heart of this nation, the very concepts upon which our Constitution is based.
If you need any evidence, just take what Letitia James and “Judge” Arthur Engoron are chuckling about today. Tish is actually speaking about it in public and triumphally tweeting about how she fulfilled a promise made before she came to office to “get Trump.”
They took an obscure New York state law that 1) doesn't require a victim and 2) has never before been used in this manner, 3) and places “criminality” at the discretion of the AG or DA rather than in the letter of the law.
Here's a synopsis of the law and its history from the New Yorker:
"In 1956, his final year in office, he [Republican AG Jacob Javits] urged the state legislature to pass a new law that would give his office the power to investigate and bring actions against businesses that engage in “repeated fraudulent or illegal acts or otherwise demonstrate persistent fraud or illegality in the carrying on, conducting or transaction of business.”
Invoking this broad statute, Section 63(12) of New York’s Executive Law, the attorney general’s office has brought cases ranging from accusing three bus companies of violating New York City regulations on idling to accusing ExxonMobil of misleading investors about the business risks presented by climate change.
“The statute gives the attorney general authority to pursue any kind of conduct that she or he considers to be fraudulent,” Jerry H. Goldfeder, a lawyer at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, who served as special counsel for public integrity to Andrew Cuomo when he was New York attorney general, told me."
This is the law they used, in Laverty Beria fashion, to find the man (President Trump), find the crime, find the guilt, pass sentence and ultimately to fine him.
What tells you this isn’t about guilt, innocence or justice.
I knew this was all male bovine fecal matter, because it is all male bovine fecal matter. In every case against Trump, the “crimes” were invented through manipulation of the evidence and/or the law. Commissar Kathy Hochul, the Party Chief of the People’s Administrative Area of New York, gave away the con when she assured other New York businesses not to worry because Trump is the only person they would ever use this law to “get”.
What I do know is you and I may never have $400 million dollars to be fined, but for most of us, $4,000,000, $400,000, $40,000 or even $4,000 could ruin us or change our lives forever.
And that was the point. All of this is designed to target one man, Donald J. Trump, a man the Democrats and NeverTrumpers have designated as the greatest danger to their collectivist, authoritarian and yes, fascist, agenda.
It truly is not about the amount, the amount is merely a representation of the degree of hate, it is about the process - and that process will be used against any enemy, anywhere and at any time.
Perfect and astute... I guess I remain naive enough to wonder if they can really get away with this, obvious to everyone, rape and pillage of justice.
If they do no one is safe and the experiment of America is over... welcome to the Fourth Reich.
Outstanding, as usual. They're hoping for a two-fer: destroying Trump insures their fascist/socialist dream will not be deterred.
Democrats are all about destruction, nothing more. Well, staying in power, so they can destroy.
They picked the wrong man. Imagine Biden in this scenario.
Trump powers on and will likely be elected.
But, for Democrats, achieving their goal by any means necessary takes nothing off the table.
