Banana Republicanism

Timothy Birdnow

Here is a good article aboout the weaponization of the Law by the Left and how it applies to Donald Trump.

Here is a taste:

made him emotional, as Mr.

The now-former prosecutor wrote that he "would have paid the District Attorney’s Office for the opportunity to prosecute President Trump.”

This zeal to go after the political opponents of the Democrat Party while ignoring real criminals starts with the leadership in the Manhattan DA’s office. The New York Post found that "soft-on-crime Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has downgraded more than half his felony cases to misdemeanors — while also managing to lose half of the felony cases that do reach court.”

Mr. Bragg can’t find the time to prosecute felonies in his district and protect the citizens that pay his salary, but he has all the time in the world to pursue a partisan agenda against Mr. Trump. This is an attempt to undermine a presidential candidate in order to curry favor with Democrat officials while ignoring New Yorkers’ concern with rising crime in New York City.

The partisan legal antics don’t stop in New York. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis convened a special grand jury in Atlanta to try to secure charges against Mr. Trump. The foreperson of the special grand jury went on a national media tour, where she gleefully fantasized about taking down Mr. Trump. 

[...]

These district attorneys are attempting to force Mr. Trumpout of the race with bogus legal theories—Mr. Bragg’s even essentially dismissed by the liberal New York Times—because they are terrified of a fair election.

Do read the rest.

The GOP let this happen. They should have gone after such prosecutors with great anger and furious wrath.

I remember the witch hunt by St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner against Missouri Governor Eric Greitens. The GOP didn't like Greitens, a former Democrat. He was proposing reforms that was going to take the bread from their mouths (like a ban on lobbying for five years after leaving government service). I didn't care for Greitens but the GOP should have fought for him. You don't let the Donkeys do that.

And even Missouri's then Attorney General Josh Hawley - Mr. Conservative as Senator - let it happen. He should have intervened as Madam Gardner was breaking multiple laws. But the Missouri GOP wanted Greitens gone and they let it happen.

You don't just let such things happen.  If he needs to be taken out you do it yourself, but you don't let the enemy do it.

Sadly the GOP has always been willing to let a politicized agent of the Left do such things. And now those chickens have come home to roost.

We now live in a banana republic.
