Biden’s DOJ has indicted Donald Trump for the third time, but this one is different. Jack Smith has brought an indictment against Donald Trump that criminalizes free speech. The counts:
- Conspiracy to defraud the United States
- Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding
- Obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding
- Conspiracy against rights.
Professor Jonathan Turley described it this way:
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Smith issued “the first criminal indictment of alleged disinformation.” “If you take a red pen to all of the material presumptively protected by the First Amendment, you can reduce much of the indictment to haiku,” he said. “I felt that the Mar-a-Lago indictment was strong. This is the inverse.”
Andy McCarthy:
Former New York federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy said Smith had to stretch the statutes to capture Trump’s behavior. “[Smith] has extravagantly stretched these statues in order to try and capture this behavior and that’s because this is a proxy for what should have been a political impeachment process they’re leaving to the criminal justice system, the failure of Congress to carry out a successful impeachment,” McCarthy said.
The timing of each of the Smith indictments is very curious
None of that matters. Despite his mixed record Smith is going to prevail.
- It’s in the DC venue
- Because of lunatic U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan.
Chutkan was born in Jamaica and graduated from the University of Pennsylvania’s law school. She is married to former DC Superior Court Judge Peter Krauthamer.
Her resume includes a previous job likely to attract significant attention from Trump allies. She worked at the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner from 2002 until she was confirmed as a federal judge in 2014, according to a biography she submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Boies Schiller has strong connections to the Democratic Party, and then-second son Hunter Biden — whose dad, President Biden, is likely to face Trump in the 2024 election — was of counsel at the firm from 2009 to 2014, according to OpenSecrets.
She over-punishes right wingers, especially those from Jan 6
“Chutkan has handed out tougher sentences than the [Justice Department] was seeking in seven cases, matched its requests in four others and sent all 11 riot defendants who have come before her behind bars,” the AP wrote in a profile article last year.
“In the four cases in which prosecutors did not seek jail time, Chutkan gave terms ranging from 14 days to 45 days.”
She, like Smith, is a rabid partisan hack. The evidence won’t matter. Justice won’t matter. The Constitution won’t matter. Motions to change venue will be denied. Trump is not well liked in DC. The jury will be fixed.
Trump will be convicted in this case. Chutkan is highly likely to sentence Trump to decades in prison adn taken into immediate custody. He will likely lose his appeal to the DC Circuit. But the news isn’t all bad. The Supreme Court will see through this garbage and certainly overturn the case. But the point of the whole exercise is to keep Trump out of the race. The first two indictments are sufficiently complicated, and one superseded the other, which would probably push them past election day 2024.
That’s why the trial date in this case is so critical. Trump could well find himself in jail before election. Chutkan will not free him on bail pending appeal.
It’s an interesting time when the current corrupt President is having his corrupt DOJ attempt to imprison not only a former President but his likely Presidential election opponent. If they manage to get Trump, their guns will be turned on DeSantis. That’s the kind of country in which we find ourselves today. This will become the template for how the democrat-controlled government works. As I’ve written, the goal is a one party state forever.
This indictment, as the others, could have been brought two years ago. You can ask yourself why they weren’t.
