Have to admit, I wasnât expecting this response from Bolton.
Braggâs Lawfare Tears Apart A Thousand Years of Anglo-American Jurisprudence
Well worth reading.
The opening:
Manhattan DA Alvin Braggâs indictment of Donald Trump is a constitutional obscenity. Bragg crafted an indictment that denies Trump his most fundamental constitutional rightâone going back 1,000 years in Anglo-American jurisprudenceâ to know the criminal charges against him. Bragg goes still, rewriting New York law to âget Trump.â If this power grab isnât stopped, with everyone involved in the case punished under the law, nothing will stand in the way of the leftist drive for total power.

This is the Democrats bench for 2024

How can anyone with such a name brand run on the Democratic brand and betaken seriously? I have no doubt that Kennedy has his heart in the right place, but its hard to imagine the Democratic Party being able to coalesce around someone who actually isnât selected. This is just tokenism on Kennedyâs part.
What do you think will happen when this plays out in the public to consume? Does he have a weak case or will they rig it against him?
Beyond weak.
The falsification of business records in reference to the $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels might have been a possibility, but it lacked two things.
First, it expired as a chargeable misdemeanor after two years â and that was roughly five years ago.
Second, it was a mere misdemeanor that could be brushed off by Trump even if they succeeded.
Prosecutors then created a Rube Goldberg approach and suggested that the misdemeanor was committed to conceal a federal election law violation â a crime that the Justice Department declined to charge.
That theory has been widely ridiculed, even by many on the left. The bootstrapping of a federal crime under this statute appears unprecedented and likely unsustainable.
Seems to be echoed more ad more. Problem is the MSM hates trump and will continue to scream foul. It isnât about innocent or guilt but about preventing him from running in 24.
Can they prevent him from running though? I donât understand how then can they brings these charges if everything you are saying is true? This is pretty confusing!
The entire issue of âAnglo American Jurispridenceâ is being destroyed by leftist radical like orgs âLawfareâ which should have been burnt down years ago, like SPLC! They are not observing precedent of case law or Statues they are trying to rewrite their own as well as the law. This is Cultural Marxism 101!
Can Trump run for president from prison? Yes, and itâs been done before.
He could follow the playbook of the socialist firebrand Eugene V. Debs, who in 1920 received nearly a million votes while behind bars.

The indictment and other ongoing criminal investigations of Donald Trump raise the real â if still remote â prospect that a leading contender for the 2024 presidential nomination could face prison time.
There are no legal obstacles to running for president as a convicted felon or even from behind bars. And if Trump finds himself in that predicament, heâll be following in the footsteps of another rabble-rousing populist and frequent presidential candidate: the avowed socialist Eugene V. Debs, who received nearly a million votes while in prison a century ago.
Debs is far from the only person who has sought the highest office in the land while in prison, but he was the most successful. In 1920, he became the Socialist Party nominee while serving a 10-year federal sentence for urging people to resist the World War I draft.
He received 3 percent of the popular vote, a respectable tally for an incarcerated socialist, but nowhere near enough to force the nation to seriously grapple with an improbable constitutional question: What happens if an imprisoned candidate actually wins?
He can run from prison, but the odds of him winning greatly diminishes as no one has ever won while being behind prison bars.
In prison or not will not change the outcome, losing big.
If the elections were fair and held tomorrow I think Trump wins big, but I suspect we will never see a fair election again.
