About indictments:
When an indictment is released, as in the case of President Trump, it presents a completely one-sided story developed by the prosecutor. Witnesses are not represented by attorneys, there is no opportunity for cross-examination, there is no opportunity for presenting exculpatory information, etc. It is not a trial jury. The indictment appears to me to be a piling on, which explains why the prosecution brought in as many witnesses and documents as possible, cherry-picking information, etc. Even now, nobody is present to deal with these charges in the media — for example, why is it assumed in some instances that the movement of some boxes was for the purpose of concealment.
Remember, virtually none of this would be an issue but for the original decision by the Biden White House and DOJ to turn this into a criminal case. Most of what is claimed in these charges flow from that decision. And attorney-client privilege was circumvented in at least one instance, I would argue, which will be a basis for challenge, among other things.
If any of the alleged evidence is based on violations of privilege, due process, etc., would result in the prosecution having to figure out what parts of that information was used to poison other witnesses or the presentation of information to the grand jury. Seems problematical to me.
Then there's this:
The prosecutor bringing this case is Jack Smith. This is the guy whose “overzealous” prosecution of then-Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell that ended in a conviction and destroyed a Republican with a rising political career. SCOTUS unanimously overturned the decision on review, finding that the prosecutors went too far in going after actions that may not even have been illegal regarding gifts McDonnell and his wife received. You read that right, all the Supreme Court justices smacked Jack Smith down for an overzealous, legally defective prosecution of a Republican politician. SCOTUS gutted him so badly that DOJ didn’t even try to re-try the case. They just dropped it.
And his wife is a leftist filmmaker who produced a hagiography of Michelle Obama.
And I'm wrong for having doubts about the veracity of this indictment? I'm wrong for thinking there is a double standard of justice here? The democrats have been going after Trump ever since he stepped off that elevator, the IG Report told us that the FBI basically didn't have anything to base the Russian Collusion investigation on but they did it anyway and came up with zilch as far as the Collusion was concerned. They falsified documents to the FISA Court and a guy got convicted for that. Why did he do it? To get Trump. And here we are again. Different people, different time, same shit. The DOJ has been politicized and is now weaponized against political opponents.
