Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley said Monday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” that former President Donald Trump’s New York trial for allegedly falsifying business records related to payments to porn star Stormy Daniel is “absurd.”
Host Dana Perino said, “Jonathan, you wrote about Cicero saying ‘the more laws, the less justice,’ and that you seem the same here. How so?”
Turley said, “Well, the more cases against Trump, the less justice we receive as a people. You know, the opponents of Trump would have been far better off with just one case, the Mar-a-Lago case. That’s based on real law, real precedent, and one can disagree with the interpretations. But it’s not a reach in the sense of this case.”
He continued, “This case is, creating something, it’s creating a criminal code just for Trump. You know, you have a misdemeanor whose time has expired, the statute limitations ran out, and it was revived in this rather curious way.
Commentary:
As BAD as Democrats and the "Deep State" are trying to keep him out of the WH, there must be devastating evidence against many!!! They are absolutely and positively unleashed.
It’s embarrassing, this one man can pose that much of a threat to bureaucracy and Neo-Marism.
Jonathan Turley is correct. When you reinterpret laws to target your political opponents the public loses respect for the rule of law. It’s dangerous territory when people stop believing in the rule of law, you end up with a non-functional banana republic where the legal system is just a pawn to be wielded against people you don’t like, or are a threat to you instead of a legitimate deterrent to criminal activities.
