WE ARE ALREADY THERE

I tried to put up a post about this unprecedented attack on our American democracy by the criminal president of the US, but I kept having trouble with my PC. So, I'm greatful to Dave Miller for his insights (which were the same as mine) on this serious attack on the rule of law by Trump and his toadies. This is how authoritarian regimes operate, and any American who celebrates this assault on our democracy isn’t worthy of being called an American. 

 DAVE MILLER:

As we think about this case, here's a few things to consider...

1. There are over 100 lawyers in the Virginia Federal Prosecutors office. The former US Atty in the office resigned, rather than follow orders of non lawyer President Trump to get an indictment of Comey. That US Atty has stated there was no sufficient evidence to charge Comey.

2. None of the other more than 100 lawyers were willing to charge the case, because of a lack of evidence,

3. Trump's new US Atty in Virginia, as yet, only acting and not confirmed by the US Senate, has no, not some, no prosecutorial experience and has never in her life tried a case. Not one. 

4. Trumps new US Atty in Virginia has worked in insurance law, not criminal law.

5. The Virginia office brought the charges over the objection of the entire office. How do we know this? US Attys do not sign charging documents, which Trump's appointee did in this case. Further, not a single other lawyer in the office signed on to this document, signaling a complete lack of support from the career lawyers at the Virginia office.

6. Trump, in violation of over 50 years of precedent, after Nixon tried to politicize the DOJ, has inserted himself into the process, personally overruled Sr DOJ lawyers and continues to try and influence and impact he case through his statements and social media accts.

This is a mess for the USA.

But... Trump and his cronies, including folks at the Mothership are ecstatic. Because in their minds, finally someone on the right will experience the full weight of a weaponized US government, as they believe those on the right have been living with since Nixon.
