I mean, it's fucking Trump. There's almost 0% chance he hasn't commited state crimes as well.
Yes. And when you're talking about "odds" and chance, it points out how the Trump-loving cohort of the public has either failed to grasp common sense or missed out on a practical education.
Review as much as you can the last four years of GOP behaviors, including their constant legalese Trump-defense postures. Before that, they spent at least a year in a real witch-hunt -- Hillary being the witch -- looking for a crime, but found none. Now, with the Mueller report and ancillary investigations, indications of Trump's tax evasion and tax fraud, campaign finance felonies, obstruction of justice, a looming charge of rape, suggestions of money-laundering and many indications of Russian collusion that beg for further investigation to uncover more facts, charges that the President's pandemic response was downright criminal -- the GOP Senate wants to quash further fact-gathering, and pundits all resort to arguments grounded in a "reasonable doubt" posture.
Before there is a jury or any burden to establish reasonable doubt, there is criminal investigation, simple facts, inferences to be drawn from those facts, and facts that lead to further probes in search of more facts. That's a scientific basis for establishing the Truth. Anything else attempts to grasp at improbable scenarios and explanations to serve the bias in the Law for proving guilt beyond a shadow of doubt.
These GOP minions are not Truth-Seekers. But the Base readily accepts their pronouncements to then assert that it is all a witch-hunt and political persecution of their Great Leader. They will take this to an absurd extreme, and indeed they already have done so.
They can't tell me I've made a "rush to judgment" for concluding that Trump is a lifelong criminal, long overdue for Justice to be done.
Biden wants national unity. Fine, but there is no compromise with lunatics. I want Justice -- Justice for being slapped in the face by a Criminal every day for the last four years. Justice for imperiling national security. Justice for Trump's failure to meet his tax obligations. Justice for obstructing justice at every turn and corrupting the Justice Department. Justice for 210,000 people and more before this is over.
I could give a shit about the half-wits who think this is just a war of political payback. Did you look at the mug-shots of the men arrested for plotting to kidnap and possibly murder the Governor of Michigan? Do they look like wise sages? Do they carry current library cards? Do they have the slightest idea of an ethical or moral principle? Do you think that any of them actually read a book -- any book -- in the last five years?
Nuremberg Redux! For Justice!
