Røgalarmen gav lyd fra sig, som Georgias distriktsanklager Fani Willis læste de seneste sigtelser imod Donald J Tump og 18 andre, herunder Rudolph Giuliani og Jenna Ellis. Denne gang handler det om, hvorledes han skulle have forsøgt at vende valget i 2020 med ulovlige metoder. Centralt står en telefonsamtale, Trump havde med statssekretær Brad Raffensberger. Her mente Trump, at en lang række stemmesedler til Biden var ugyldige og burde smides ud. ‘Find dem’ havde Trump krævet, noget der er blevet tolket som ‘opfind’ dem af medier og andre politiske fjender.
Men Willis, en indvandret kommunist, der har erklæret at, det er en fejl at Trump er på fri fod, kan ikke hænge det på et misforstået ord, så derfor er anklagen, som typisk imod Trump, en farverig brug af juridiske tolkninger, hvor man her er endt med ‘racketeering’, en organiseret afpresning, som man kender det fra mafiaen (ironisk nok, for Trump har omvendt på Truth Social beskyldt Willis for at have ligget i med en bandeleder). Og derfor de mange medskyldige omkring Trump og derfor er al kommunikation, privat såvel som på Twitter inddraget for at kortlægge et spind med en orange edderkop i centrum.
Man kan studse lidt over, at da man i 1930’erne ikke kunne anklage Al Capone for at være en gangster, fik man i stedet ram på ham for ikke at betale skat. Man har ikke kunnet ramme Trump på hans skatteforhold og nu prøver man så at fremstille ham som en gangster. For Viva Frei var det endnu et 1984 øjeblik
When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.
When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.
And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
The #GeorgiaIndictment is the most insane yet by the looniest prosecutor yet. Claims tweets are conspiracies, legal advice is a crime, Constitutional law is a criminal act, and demanding officials do their job criminal solicitation. It is an embarrassment to the state of Georgia.
kaldte Robert Barnes det og den Republikanske senator Marco Rubio konkluderede “A 3rd world spectacle carried out by a local prosecutor with political ambitions that far exceed her professionalism”. Anklagen kommer, som de mange andre, i kølvandet på de afsløringer af Bidenfamiliens korruption. En undskyldning for medierne at se den anden vej på vegne af deres godtroende seere.
Politiet lovede at offentliggøre et ‘forbryderfoto’ af Trump, så snart den tidligere præsident havde ladet sig anholde.
Hillary Clinton kunne ikke styre sin begejstring og sagde til MSNBCs Rachel Maddow “If bad actors tell us falsely that every election is stolen and that the only way an election is trustworthy is that if they come out on top of it, it tells you something not just about that person but it wounds us as a democracy in a way that’s hard to repair.” Lad os se en film, sagde vikaren
One of the important comments that came out of this long day in Georgia was by the former lieutenant governor when he said, this is a pivot point. The Republican Party needs to move away. Quit being part of a cult is what he meant. You follow someone who lies to you, undermines the legitimate processes of government. Move away from him politically and trying to get back to politics in the sense that we used to think we had it, despite all of the human frailties that accompanied it.
“If it’s a crime in Georgia to claim, falsely, that an election was “stolen,” how is @staceyabrams not in prison?” spurgte Joel Pollack. David Harsanyi pointerede indigneret
She got away w/ breaking law. Then, not only went around “denying” the election results but helped concoct a Russia collusion hoax used to effectively upend the presidency. And now she can laugh about it.
Det er ikke en overdrivelse, det er nærmest en sammensværgelse, som Mike Chernovich påpegede, som han viste den Republikanske Geoff Duncan argumenterede for, at få fjernet Trump fra at kunne stille op, var deres bedste mulighed for at slå Joe Biden. Og som Stephen Miller påpegede
Republicans control the legislative and executive branches in Georgia. They could stop this abomination instantly if they wished. Just like they could have verified ballot signatures if they wished.
“But they won’t” svarede Jack Posobiec. Jonathan Turley skrev
As with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, many view Willis as a Democratic prosecutor pursuing the highly unpopular former president. However, given the three grand juries and the three years that have passed, Willis may have found new evidence or witnesses that could tie Trump to criminal conduct in seeking to challenge the results in the election.
Thus far, the focus has been on the controversial call that Trump had with Georgia officials — a call widely cited as indisputable evidence of an effort at voting fraud. Yet, the call was similar to a settlement discussion, as state officials and the Trump team hashed out their differences and a Trump demand for a statewide recount. Trump had lost the state by less than 12,000 votes. That might be what he meant when he stated, “I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state.”
While others have portrayed the statement as a raw call for fabricating the votes, it seems more likely that Trump was swatting back claims that there was no value to a statewide recount by pointing out that he wouldn’t have to find a statistically high number of votes to change the outcome of the election. It is telling that many politicians and pundits refuse to even acknowledge that obvious alternate meaning.
For Trump’s part, he is not helping with his signature, all-caps social media attacks.
In addition to attacking Willis for a supposedly “racist” and “unethical” past, Trump recently declared that Willis “wants to indict me for a perfect phone call; this was even better than my perfect call on Ukraine.” I have previously disagreed with the claimed perfection of that Ukraine call, the subject of Trump’s first impeachment. However, neither call needs to be “perfect” to be protected.
Før vi går videre, skal vi lige dvæle ved Trumps homage til ‘Chuck Norris vittigheder’. Ifølge det lille citat fra Trump, har han ikke blot haft én, men to samtaler, der var perfekte – den ene endda bedre end den anden. I Trumps verden er perfektion ultimativ såvel som relativ.
Tilbag til Turley. De andre tiltalte skal skal være et skrækeksempel skriver han videre
There are clearly a number of people beyond Trump who are being targeted, including his lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell. Indictments can unnerve associates who lack the money or support of Trump. That can lead to flipping key figures to offer state evidence.
Presset på alt, der omgiver Trump har man set på den nidkærhed, hvormed de retsforfølges og den voldsomhed, hvormed de kan anholdes. General Mike Flynn, blev retsforfulgt på obskure anklager for at have ført udenrigspolitik bag ryggen på regeringen, thre Logan Act, en anklage, der i sin essens ikke giver mening, samt at have løjet for FBI. Det sidste havde han ikke, blot husket et par datoer forkert, men anklagen gik fuldt ind på tankelæsning. Og, som Dershowitz var god til at påpege, så må man gerne lyve for FBI så længe det ikke drejer sig om noget substantielt. Og FBI havde alle oplysninger før deres uformelle interview(!) med Flynn, noget de valgte at tilbageholde for forsvaret.
Roger Stone blev ligeledes tiltalt for at have løjet, i hans tilfælde for retten, hvilket han også havde, for at forsvare Trump mod urimelige anklager. Da anklagerne imod Trump blev fundet urimelige, var Stones løgne dermed ikke substantielle (uden urimeligheder fra anklagers side ikke løgne fra Stones), men man valgte alligevel at dømme Stone, en 70 hjertepatient, en hård fængselsstraf inden han blev benådet af Trump.
Paul Mannafort blev dømt for ikke at opgive sit virke for udenlandske interesser til myndighederne, nogle russiske forretningsmænd i Ukraine (alting Trump ender derovre?) ti år tidligere. Nogenlunde samme forseelse, som Hunter Biden ikke står tiltalt for. Det er en forseelse, som sjældent håndhæves, fordi Washington i så fald skulle omdannes til et åbent fængsel. Men både Mannafort og Stone blev arresteret af svært bevæbnede FBI styrker midt om natten, skønt de begge havde indvilliget i at samarbejde med anklagerne. For CNN var det så heldigt, at de havde et kamerahold til stede, uden for Stones hus, så alle kunne følge med i, live på TV, hvorledes det gik, for de der hjalp præsident Donald J Trump.
Dommeren i sagen om de af Trump befamlede dyb-statsejede papirer forbød Trump af offentliggøre oplysninger om sin egen sag og efterlod således Justitsministeriet med et monopol på at lække ‘hvis-sandt’ oplysninger til en hungrende presse. Alan Dershowitz skrev tidligere, hvorledes en velfinansieret gruppe sagsøgte enhver advokat, for de mest bizarre ting, for at skræmme dygtige jurister fra at ville forsvare Trump
Former President Donald Trump has now been arraigned and pleaded not guilty. He was represented by two lawyers, neither of whom he apparently wants to lead his defense at trial. He has been interviewing Florida lawyers, and several top ones have declined. I know, because I have spoken to them. There are disturbing suggestions that among the reasons lawyers are declining the case is because they fear legal and career reprisals.
There is a nefarious group that calls itself The 65 Project that has as its goal to intimidate lawyers into not representing Trump or anyone associated with him. They have threatened to file bar charges against any such lawyers. When these threats first emerged, I wrote an op-ed offering to defend pro bono any lawyers that The 65 Project goes after. So The 65 Project immediately went after me, and contrived a charge based on a case in which I was a constitutional consultant, but designed to send a message to potential Trump lawyers: if you defend Trump or anyone associated with him, we will target you and find something to charge you with. The lawyers to whom I spoke are fully aware of this threat — and they are taking it seriously.
Som Turley videre skrev
It is important for campaigns to seek judicial review of election challenges without fear of prosecution. Some Democratic lawyers after 2020 made their own controversial (and unsuccessful) allegations of machines flipping or altering election outcomes. No one suggested that they should be criminally charged or disbarred.
The pile-on of prosecutions could create a chilling effect for campaigns in seeking recounts and reviews in close elections. That does not mean that there may not be evidence of knowing fraud or criminal wrongdoing. However, another anemic filing like the one in New York will only fuel the deep political divisions and unrest in the country. It needs to be clearly based on a desire for justice, rather than “just deserts.”
For Trump, of course, he may feel that (as Ray Charles sang) it always seems that “the road leads back to you” for Democratic prosecutors.
Turleys tiltro til storruryens dømmekraft og upartiskhed er et monument over hans tiltro til menneskeheden. Herunder er to klip af den person, som storjuryen mente var bedst egnet til at repræsentere dem
Man begynder at forstå, hvorledes anklageskriftet kunne offentliggøres førend storjuryen overhovedet havde stemt for det. Ikke nok med det, så har retten også offentliggjort navnene storjuryens medlemmer. Enigheden i Georgias storjuryen er således ikke et mysterium. USAs juridiske system bliver ideologisk saboteret af venstrefløjen.
Black Lives Matter og Antifa truede med at brænde byen ned, hvis ikke retten dømte Derek Chauvin for mord på Geoprge Floyd. Da det var i kølvandet på sommerens protester, hvor 50 mennesker var blevet dræbt og folk set deres Demokratisk ledede byer blive brændt ned, nærmest uden indgriben fra myndighedernes side, og hvor stort set ingen blev holdt ansvarlig, var det ikke svært at forstå det åbenlyse justitsmord. I forrige uge, gik den uafhængige journalist Andy Ngos overfaldsmænd fri, fordi deres advokat i sin slutbemærkning at “hun var antifa”, og at hun ville huske, hvert af juryens ansigter.
