The Legal Lynch Mob Going After Trump

2021-07-01

[AMERICANTHINKER] There has been an increasingly frenzied gusher of leaks from the offices of New York County’s District Attorney, Cyrus Vance, Jr., telling breathless journalists that the grand jury is about to indict The Trump Organization, maybe as early as next week. These leaks specifically relate to the sitting grand jury (which just continued a previous one dating back to 2018). These leaks tell the public that the grand jury will indict Donald Trump

...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party...
any day now.

Of course, the hyper-ventilating journalists are confusing an "any day now" indictment of The Trump Organization (a company) with an arrest of Donald Trump as a person. Within a few hours of publication of this article, Politico and other outlets are claiming that leaks indiucate there will be no indictment, while the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
claims, "An indictment against the business, the Trump Organization, and a top executive, Allen Weisselberg, could come as soon as this week in Manhattan."

However,
women are made to be loved, not understood...
some activists crow that if Trump’s business is indicted, this will trigger a financial collapse of Trump’s empire. They argue that all contracts will be automatically cancelled, and loans ’called’ in because TTO is under indictment (though innocent until proven guilty). Thus, they gleefully predict, Trump will be ruined. That makes Vance’s leaks more damaging than Giuliani allegedly casting doubt on Biden’s status as President.

New York Penal Law § 215.70 "Unlawful grand jury disclosure" says:

A person is guilty of unlawful grand jury disclosure when, being a grand juror, a public prosecutor, a grand jury stenographer, a grand jury interpreter, a police officer or a peace officer guarding a witness in a grand jury proceeding, or a clerk, attendant, warden or other public servant having official duties in or about a grand jury room or proceeding, or a public officer or public employee, he intentionally discloses to another the nature or substance of any grand jury testimony, or any decision, result or other matter attending a grand jury proceeding which is required by law to be kept secret, except in the proper discharge of his official duties or upon written order of the court. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit a witness from disclosing his own testimony. Unlawful grand jury disclosure is a class E felony.

One of the reasons why it is a Class E Felony in New York to reveal what the grand jury is doing is to avoid people being publicly smeared if they are never in fact indicted.

Why is the D.A.’s office so desperate to make the public believe that — any day now — Trump is going to be hauled off in hand cuffs? New York City is of course extremely left-wing politically.

#8 Timed to try to try to soften the blow the Arizona audit will show about Democrat election fraud. They will try to throw mud first.

#7 Is the legal lynch mob going after Trump "again" or "still" going after Trump?

#6 Wow. If Vance is willing to prosecute this guy for not paying taxes on perks, just think of the charges he'll bring against Hunter Biden.

#3 In every two party system, both sides must cultivate an extremist element, people who can drop everything they're doing and rush into a fight. Or it soon becomes a one party system.

If the threat of militia in streets, riots and the prospect of having to kill your own over some elite egos does not maintain a credible pressure on judiciary, law enforcement, legislatures... they can pretty much do what they want.
