The Indictment<\/b><\/p>\n

Individual One meets his fate<\/b><\/p>\n

Bryan Zepp Jamieson<\/i><\/p>\n

March 30th<\/sup>, 2023<\/i><\/p>\n

After tossing a nasty curve yesterday by announcing the Grand Jury would be taking most of April off, Alvin Bragg put a scorcher right over the plate, announcing that the jury had found grounds to indict and the indictment would be issued. While nearly everyone was expecting an indictment, the timing took most people by surprise \u2013 including, critically, Trump and his minions.<\/p>\n

According to CNN, Trump \u201cfaces more than 30 counts related to business fraud in an indictment from a Manhattan grand jury, according to two sources familiar with the case \u2013 the first time in American history that a current or former president has faced criminal charges.\u201d Nobody knows what the exact counts are, so anyone declaiming that the indictment was \u201ca miscarriage of justice\u201d or \u201cupholds the rule of law\u201d is blowing smoke out their asses. I\u2019m guessing that evidence to back the charges is likely to be pretty solid but that\u2019s all it is; a guess. We\u2019ll know more along about Monday or Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Ron DeSantis, the ridiculous governor of Florida, already announced that he would not allow New York to extradite Trump. Given the constitutional mandate in such manners, DeSantis just placed one of his dainty white elevator boots on the wrong side of insurrection. That he didn\u2019t even bother with learning what Trump has been charged with makes him look silly, futile and weak. But he has to play up to his anti-American base, the same clowns who are banning books, destroying education, and trying to outlaw entire lifestyles, philosophies and political opinions. When you are speaking for trash, it\u2019s hard to sound classy, or even sane.<\/p>\n

Trump is expected to turn himself in voluntarily for processing \u2013 fingerprinting, getting his Miranda, all that. He has tried to rile up his base by demanding he be cuffed and perp-walked, but unless he pulls some kind of stunt, he will not be, since the charges, while in some cases are likely serious felonies, are all non-violent and first offenses. American cops are notoriously deferential to wealthy white people, especially if there isn\u2019t cause to break a few windows to play up to the public. I did suggest that if Trump did pull something that required him to be cuffed (unlikely, I admit, since Trump isn\u2019t the sort to defy someone with a gun) that some fuzzy pink handcuffs of the sort people use on bondage-play sex games be used. The dignity of the occasion must be observed, you know.<\/p>\n

The rest of the GOP circus are obediently lining up to defend their lord and master, of course. In a party as thoroughly sold-out and cowardly, did anyone expect anything else? Most still don\u2019t dare defy Trump; some are doubtlessly hoping the indictment will give Trump a boost in the polls and thus shine some light on them for supporting him.<\/p>\n

That notion may seem odd, but there is historical precedent: when the Republican GOP impeached Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky thing, his ratings climbed. In fact, the day the Senate acquitted him, his rating were the highest he reached in two terms.<\/p>\n

The two situations aren\u2019t the same, though. People \u2013 including many of the people who wanted Clinton disgraced and forced from office \u2013 knew that the impeachment was purely a political animal, and that the charges \u2013 lying about getting a blow job from a consenting adult \u2013 just weren\u2019t that serious.<\/p>\n

When the charges are released, you\u2019ll note that \u201cbanging a porn star\u201d won\u2019t be among the charges. Stormy Daniels is an adult, and nobody disputes that she gave consent. Thus, it isn\u2019t a crime.<\/p>\n

Had Bill Clinton taken a hundred thousand dollars and had his lawyer pay Monica for her silence, and then misrepresented where the funds came from and what they were for subsequently, he would have been convicted by the Senate, expelled from office, and might even have done some jail time, since those, unlike casual sex, are felonies. White collar crime, to be sure, but still felonies. That\u2019s the big difference between what Clinton was facing and what Trump is facing. Clinton was guilty of indiscretion. That\u2019s not even a misdemeanor. It doesn\u2019t even rise to the level of a parking ticket.<\/p>\n

When the counts are enumerated, any \u2018bounce\u2019 Trump may enjoy over the weekend should dissipate fairly rapidly. If CNN is right and there are more than thirty counts pending, that should make a pretty daunting array of legal instruments brought to bear against Donald.<\/p>\n

Also keep in mind that indictments in the Georgia vote-tampering case and the events of January 6th<\/sup> are still pending. That\u2019s a bigger pair of avalanches looming over Trump.<\/p>\n

I also think the open racism and threats that some of Trump\u2019s supporters are making will undermine him, as well. Describing Alvin Bragg, the DA, as \u201cGeorge Soros funded\u201d is not only untrue, but is a dog whistle. Anyone saying that is actually saying \u201cdirty joos that secretly run the world are controlling a puppet DA.\u201d It\u2019s shabby, it\u2019s tawdry, it\u2019s disgraceful, and most people are better than that. The threats \u2013 including the white powder sent to the DA office will put a lot of people off.<\/p>\n

And Faux News, historically Trump\u2019s biggest promoter, have self-negated their cause with the evidence showing their dishonesty and hypocrisy regarding Trump. So I don\u2019t see anything more than a ripple of support from the general public, one quelled by the tsunami of fake rage, threats, and general viciousness from the performance artists of the right. Their act is deader than Vaudeville but they haven\u2019t realized it yet.<\/p>\n

But they\u2019ll do what damage they can, oblivious to the fact that most of the damage will be against Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
