Trump’s opponents are making effective use of lawfare

If this hush money thing was such a big deal, why did it take 8 years to get to trial? Why not when he was in office, or right afterwards? Why now? Ask yourself that.

Some might accuse Trump’s opponents of specifically holding legal action against him for various alleged misdeeds until such time that he would otherwise be on the campaign trail. Guess what? It’s working.

Eight years ago, Trump made a big deal out of his North Dakota campaign stop. It’s when and where I got to ask him if he would approve the Keystone XL pipeline. This year, Trump’s legal battles kept him from the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference, which I attended two weeks ago. Unfortunately, I’ve been pretty busy, so I haven’t had the time to write this until now. But the timing is fitting, with the trial wrapping up.

  1. This Quote I have mentioned but it is so significant in what is happening to the Republicans and Trump! Dr. Hayden—– ” When Law courts become Political- Democracy dies!”
    At the time being a student I didn’t understand the significance of what he was saying!
    This is also happening in Canada under our Liberals— now!

  2. It’s working? They kept Trump in NYC for that trial, and when the trail wasn’t happening, Trump put NY in play for the first time in a generation. In addition, most Americans see the lawfare for what it is, and don’t want to live in a country like this. Lawfare, VAX mandates, J6 arrests, FBI spying on parent’s groups and Roman Catholics…. this lawfare isn’t surprising, and for many it’s the last straw.

    1. Tim (and Brian) – ConocoPhillips just made a $22B US bet that Trump is going to get elected.

  3. Biden’s EO on Day 1 of his presidency killing Keystone was all I needed to know Obama is the president. It’s all pretend now. Also impressive was how much our PM stood up for Canadian families and businesses over a clear ‘political’ decision.

  4. bug eyed j edgar hoover laid the groundwork.
    anybody get a position above dog catcher they got a dossier.
    thus when they bubbled to the top any moves against hoover or fbi interests out came the dossier.
    google it

    1. methinks she doth protest too much

      J Edgar had all the sexual kink that he documented on all the others. except the mafia had the docs on him

    1. “There is a debate going on as to whether or not the Trump trial will backfire on the Democrats. I think it probably will.”

      I think it already has. Any conviction is already guaranteed to be overturned on appeal, there have been so many egregious errors. In some ways an acquittal is the best outcome now for the Democrats…that’s how weak their case was, and how far they had to bend and twist (and yes, even *break*) the law to even get to this point.

  5. Perhaps Canada should have a trial in connection with the Turd’s hush money payout.

    1. the $1.6 mill to the family of the young girl in vancouver???. so much for investigative journalist from CBCpravda or justice from the RCMP.

        1. My guess there was an addition to the Trudeau family at an age when most people would be in jail. No evidence , just my suspicion. His love of surfing limited to Tofino seems to coincidental to me. If it was only surfing I would guess he would choose warmer waters. After all , it was only recently i was aware he has a half sibling with Cohan’s sister. What a tangled web.

      1. “the $1.6 mill to the family of the young girl in vancouver???. so much for investigative journalist from CBCpravda or justice from the RCMP.”

        Wouldn’t it be great if someone asked the CBC that question ( “Why haven’t you investigated this?”) in public? CTV and Global as well.

    2. DCH
      Gawd, it just came to me yesterday, too.
      What about the Hush Money Payment Trudeau paid out.
      Did he expense it, as a cost against his taxes?
      Did he deduct the legal fees as an expense?
      Did he apply the costs of both, to his political expense account, because the payment made was to cover-up a damaging story that would hurt his political career? That’s what Alvin Bragg is claiming Trump should have done!
      Lots of questions for our Media to ask,,, oh ya……

      1. “Lots of questions for our Media to ask”

        Ask them about the payout to Admiral Mark Norman, too.

    1. Merchan appears to be the spawn of Roland Freisler. He isn’t overseeing a court, he is operating the Democrat version of the Volksgerichtshof.

  6. Not working….

    It’s hard to fill up your car or pay for skyrocketing groceries with pictures of Trump in court.

  7. An enterprising and clean congresscritter could immediately demand charges for all of the people who have NDAs that were paid out for actions in congress. Similarly, how many NDAs does creepy joe have?

    /that none of them have done it means they are all dirty

  8. Merchan is an acting judge, not even full time, but the guy who donated to Biden, and who has a daughter fund raising off the trials is the guy “randomly” selected for:
    This trial
    Bannon’s trial
    A trial involving Trumps business
    0.0000001 percent chance this is random

  9. “By Any Means Necessary” is the credo of the contemporary Communist Democrat Party.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/By_any_means_necessary

    Weaponizing the Legal system against your political opponents is what communists do, because of their credo. It’s unconstitutional, it’s immoral, it’s unethical, it’s uncouth … yet our SCOTUS sits on their hands. Why? Because Trump has The People on his side … and The SCOTUS is afraid of The People. They hope to swat-away The People, by swatting-away Trump.

  10. Black voters have made that the connection the same bigots going after Trump represent the same racists who donned KKK garb, fought integration, keep black communities in hopeless depravity and import cheap labour.

    That bunch looking more like the parade of old dying leaders of the old dying Soviet Union than JFK liberals.

    This may be both the most epic both abuse of power in a supposedly free society and political miscalculation.
    We shall see, because this show trial judge has ensured a guilty plea by telling the jury Trump is guilty.

    Who is a more poignant provocateur for the lunacy, desperation and demented despotism of dystopic DeMarxism than all the world’s a vulgar stage for my temper tantrums Robert and his DeNiro’s outside of court summation:

    “Donald Trump wants to destroy, not only the city, but the country,” he said. “And eventually he could destroy the world . . . The fact is, whether he’s acquitted, whether it’s a hung jury, he is guilty—and we all know it.”

    IOW for once everybody agrees this trial was unnecessary. Once more DeMarxists attack the US body politic.
    All for power, not caring about any outcome but that. The nation poorer, less safe but them in power.

    Who desperately try to keep it at 50/50 heading into the November election, their fight to the death climaxing.

  11. Jake or Ahmed or whatever ‘your’ name is … the word you were searching for is ‘you’re’ … as in ‘you are’ … as in “that’s all you are good for”

    Your FREE English lesson of the day.
    I would have guessed you’d be better with HOMOphones

    PS … Donald J. Trump has approved this message

  12. Can’t wait for the “conviction”.
    I want to see The Donald campaign in an orange jumpsuit.
    Prisoner #1.
    That our progressive comrades have openly shown their stupidity,malice and lack of character.
    This be the blessing of Trump derangement Syndrome..
    So many cockroaches ,pimps and weasels exposed to the light.

  13. “Your stupid clown of a leader is going to jail

    Whine some more.

    That’s all your good for.”

    Is this the same troll under different names, or have we managed to pick up four different ones in the last few days?

  14. So Joe Biden is going to jail? That makes sense. He might be able to share a cell with Hunter…..after all, Joe likes closeness to his kids….especially when he showered with his 14 year old daughter.

  15. Trump found guilty on all counts. Sentancing July 11th. Bet he sentanced to prison. This is so brazen, the USSA is no longer a democrcy, a banana republic. Expect chaos and civil watr as a minimum. Nuclear WWIII probable.

    How depressing. Effing evil people.

    1. Ooops, I thought I was the first to bring this news, but reading upwards, clearly I was a laggard.

  16. Whenever I see a new name being disrespectful, I know: Troll. Some trolls persist, but I do not know why they waste the energy.

  17. The more this sinks in, the less I think there will be an election for president in the USSA in 2024.
