What to do about Politically Motivated Prosecutions?

[jwoodie]

A majority of Americans not only believe that Trump's prosecutions are politically motivated, but also that his convictions were illegitimate. As a result, we are now faced with a lack of trust in our judicial system. Supreme Court rulings on Presidential immunity may address technical defects in these prosecutions, but they will not resolve this underlying problem.

It seems to me that some sort of legislative solution is our only option. Perhaps new laws need to be passed that limit prosecutorial discretion and immunity. At a minimum, judicial misconduct should be subject to civil lawsuits and criminal prosecution. Also, statutes of limitation should strictly be enforced. New "evidence" about old crimes should be viewed with strict scrutiny, and some burden of proof should be placed on it.

Any other suggestions?

This is what you do with the animals who have maliciously targeted the winner of the last three presidential elections with fraudulent criminal trials and convictions,

There are already laws against such things (malicious prosecution, denial of civil rights, Abuse of power, illegal search & seizure, etc, etc, etc.)

We also know that until criminals suffer CONSEQUENCES...crime will continue.

Solution: A fair trial, if found guilty...HANG THEM!

The DOJ should be prosecuting actual criminals instead of political enemies.

Any other suggestions?

My first suggest would be to take

• Letitia James
• Alvin Bragg
• Jack Smith and
• Fanni Willis

and trump up heinous charges against all of them based on expired laws which don't apply, morph them into felonies, split each into 56 separate charges, multiply the bail, fees and fines ten fold, then tell the juries they can make up any reason they want to convict them on, plus use a Trump-selected judge for ALL of their cases who stands to profit from their conviction, don't allow them to testify in their own defense, then drag them through the courts for years costing them millions of dollars until they are utterly ruined?

What exactly do you disagree with OP?

I thunked the democrats said it best...NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW!

If hanging is what the law (or constitution) prescribes for that crime...then the law should be followed.

Our legal system has been twisted to the point that it is unrecognizable. Along with the points that you raised, we will soon see the reemergence of frivolous lawsuits from the governors of blue states to obstruct the actions of the incoming administration. These also need to be addressed.

Nah, let's do it the right way.

As with most things, no new laws are needed...We already have laws against conspiracy, obstruction of justice, perjury, acting under color of law....If anything, the reason that Trump was fucked over so badly, is that there are too many laws that can be twisted and contorted to be make any charge a corrupt prosecutor could dream up.

Swift and vigorous prosecutions of everyone involved are called for...Turn them into the examples that they've tried to make of everyone else who has opposed them.

Are you unfamiliar with prosecutorial immunity?

NotfooledbyW ix. to 1 : Trump spoke those words describing an actual plan, actions and the complicity involvement of other actors in place. the face day. A plan that depended on MikePence’s willingness to obey and launch, would have rejected the entirety of the 81 million winning votes for Biden, by handing victory over to the loser on that day.

Do you agree that whatever Trump was doing on January 6, 2021 was most definitely publicly suspicious to be investigated ad criminal activity for which he should have been charged if successful before a grand jury.

Yes and the same people believe Trump won the 2020 election so we can safely ignore those people because they are irrational, deluded, cult members.
