| by Kurt Schlichter [Townhall] When life gives you lemons, make litigation. All these bogus criminal cases against not only Donald Trump but against anybody who knows Donald Trump, or has spoken the name of Donald Trump, or was ever on the same continent as Donald Trump, are a legal abortion that would make Planned Parenthood blush. Yet, despite these charges having nothing to do with actual law, they have everything to do with creating an opportunity. And it’s an opportunity to use our power as a suppository against our enemies ruthlessly. No, I am not for any of this. I think this is a bad idea. I warned people against creating these New Rules where you use the law, or, instead, you twist the law like some sort of Tibetan yogi into unrecognizable forms and shapes in order to trap your political enemies. I am on record saying it’s a bad idea. I still think it’s a bad idea. But what I think doesn’t matter. The New Rules are now The Rules, and it’s time to use them like Eric Swalwell used Fang Fang. Quickly and unpleasantly for the recipient. Now, you have to understand that these charges have approximately zero legal merit. There are a variety of reasons why. Some are just factually ridiculous. Some fail to apply the facts to the elements of the statutes. In others, the statute is applied in a way it was never meant to be applied. Finally, some of them are simply selective prosecutions. I mean, if you were going to charge Trump for obstruction for moving some boxes around his resort, you’ve got to have a good explanation for why you let Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit skate after taking a hammer and tongs to a bunch of hard drives that were literally under subpoena. And there is no reasonable explanation except that Democrats walk while Republicans get locked up. Which is unacceptable. Read the rest at the link |
