CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 5, 2023
THIS COMMENTARY IS BEING RECORDED BEFORE DETAILS OF THE INDICTMENT AGAINST FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP WERE REVEALED. REPORTS SAID IT INCLUDED 34 FELONIES, WHICH SEEMS TO ME TO RESEMBLE A HATE CRIME BY MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALVIN BRAGG. BRAGG RAN FOR OFFICE PROMISING TO “GET TRUMP.” THAT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE PROSECUTORIAL OVERREACH AND A POLITICAL HIT JOB.
WHY HAS OUR POLITICS BECOME SO DIRTY? IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ROUGH, BUT NOW SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN WORSE. PART OF IT IS INSTANT COMMUNICATION, FROM CABLE TV TO SOCIAL MEDIA, AND AN EMBRACE OF THE KINGDOM OF THIS WORLD. WHO HOLDS POLITICAL POWER IS ALL THAT MATTERS. THOSE WHO BELIEVE SUCH THINGS SHOULD READ PSALM 2: “WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE AND THE PEOPLES PLOT IN VAIN… THE ONE ENTHRONED IN HEAVEN LAUGHS; THE LORD SCOFFS AT THEM AND TERRIFIES THEM IN HIS WRATH, SAYING, ‘I HAVE INSTALLED MY KING ON ZION, MY HOLY MOUNTAIN’.”
IT IS A BAD PRECEDENT TO INDICT AND PERHAPS TRY A FORMER PRESIDENT. REPUBLICAN PROSECUTORS MIGHT LOOK TO ENGAGE IN RETRIBUTION. LET THE VOTERS DECIDE TRUMP’S FATE, NOT A ROGUE DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN LIBERAL NEW YORK. I’M CAL THOMAS.
