CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 29, 2024
THE FIRST OF THREE TRIALS OF FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS WRAPPING UP IN NEW YORK. GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR JONATHAN TURLEY BELIEVES THE CASE HAS NO LEG TO STAND ON. HE’S RIGHT.
IF YOU’VE BEEN FOLLOWING THE TRIAL YOU KNOW DISTRICT ATTORNEY ALVIN BRAGG UPGRADED MISDEMEANOR CHARGES AGAINST TRUMP TO FELONIES IN ORDER TO GET AROUND THE EXPIRED STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT WOULDN’T PROSECUTE THE CASE, BUT NOW A TOP JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OFFICIAL IS IN ON THE PROSECUTION.
NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES AND NEW YORK CITY DA ALVIN BRAGG RAN ON PLATFORMS TO “GET TRUMP.” THE JUDGE IS A DEMOCRAT. HIS DAUGHTER IS RAISING MONEY OFF THE TRIAL.
FEW UNDERSTAND THE CHARGES, MANY OF WHICH ARE NOT ILLEGAL.
WHETHER ONE LIKES OR DISLIKES TRUMP, OR WILL VOTE OR NOT VOTE FOR HIM IN THE FALL, AMERICANS HAVE A STREAK OF FAIRNESS IN US. WE DON’T LIKE A DOUBLE STANDARD, OR A POLITICAL SHOW TRIAL AND WE SHOULDN’T LIKE IT WHETHER IT BE A REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT.
CONVICTING TRUMP WOULD BE AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PRECEDENT AND BOUND TO COME BACK ON DEMOCRATS. BETTER TO LET THE VOTERS DECIDE IN THE FALL. I’M CAL THOMAS.
