CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 18, 2025
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HEARD POLITICIANS AND PROSECUTORS SAY, “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW”? IT’S A CATCHY PHRASE DESIGNED TO MAKE PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE MUST CONFORM TO THE LAW. WE HEARD THAT DURING PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TWO IMPEACHMENTS AND FROM NEW YORK ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES AND MANHATTAN PROSECUTOR ALVIN BRAGG WHO INDICTED TRUMP.
NOW THE SHOE IS ON THE OTHER FOOT. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO LOOK INTO WHETHER LETITIA JAMES IS GUILTY OF UNDERVALUING A HOME SHE BOUGHT IN ORDER TO GET A FAVORABLE MORTGAGE.
NOT TO BE OUTDONE, MARYLAND DEMOCRAT SENATOR CHRIS VAN HOLLAND WENT TO EL SALVADOR, APPARENTLY TO SPRING A MAN WHO ENTERED THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY, WAS TWICE DEPORTED AFTER DUE PROCESS HEARINGS BEFORE TWO IMMIGRATION JUDGES, IS LIKELY A MEMBER OF MS-13, AND WHO ALLEGEDLY HAS BEATEN HIS COMMON LAW WIFE IN MARYLAND MORE THAN ONCE. VAN HOLLAND PROMISED MORE DEMOCRATS WOULD BE VISITING EL SALVADOR. THEY ARE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THIS ISSUE. SOFT ON CRIME HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GOOD ISSUE FOR REPUBLICANS. MUCH BETTER IT SEEMS THAN “NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.”
