Lock him up.


Now that Mr. trump is almost a private citizen again, it's time to seriously consider investigating him for federal crimes committed while he was in office. 

 I, for one,  don't want to hear about how it will divide the country and all the rest of it. The country is already divided, and there is nothing that will change that. trump supporters are beyond saving, so if they want to be pissed off about their "dear leader" being investigated and prosecuted, then so be it.

I am not alone on this island. A former Mueller prosecutor, Andrew Weissmann, agrees with me. 

"The former deputy to Mueller during his investigation said he didn't come to the viewpoint to pursue a probe into the soon-to-be former president "lightly" but added that "Trump's criminal exposure is clear."

Weissmann cited the evidence collected during Mueller's investigation to determine whether Russia interfered in the 2016 election and whether Trump interfered with the probe. He said the team "amassed ample evidence to support a charge that Mr. Trump obstructed justice."

"What precedent is set if obstructing such an investigation is allowed to go unpunished and undeterred?" he wrote.

He also pointed out that both the Manhattan district attorney and the New York attorney general are investigating Trump on claims of tax and bank fraud, adding these probes could unveil new information leading to federal charges against Trump.

"Sweeping under the rug Mr. Trump's federal obstruction would be worse still," Weissmann said. "The precedent set for not deterring a president's obstruction of a special counsel investigation would be too costly: It would make any future special counsel investigation toothless and set the presidency de facto above the law."

"In short, being president should mean you are more accountable, not less, to the rule of law," he added."

Mr. trump has always thought that he was above the law, and his four year crime spree in Washington is proof of it. The only reason that he didn't go down like so many of his cronies is because he had the power of the office that he held behind him. Thankfully, that is no longer the case, so it's time that he faced the music. 

Right before I wrote this post, Mr. trump pardoned another member of his crime family, Michael Flynn. Of course we know that he had no choice, because Mr. Flynn knows where all the bodies are buried, and where all the incriminating documents are stored. Michael Flynn always had that look of a man who had supreme confidence that he would not be spending any significant amount of time in jail, because he always knew that Mr. trump would not let him. Mr. trump's justice department even took the extreme and unheard of step of trying to get a do over on charging Flynn, even after he pled guilty to the charges that were being brought against him. 

And speaking of the Justice Department, the man Mr. trump put in charge of it acted like his personal attorney, and not the Attorney General of the United States of America. History will not be kind to William Barr, a man who committed one despicable act after another right until the very end.  Another good thing about getting rid of Donald trump is knowing that he won't be far behind. 

"Former judge John Gleeson, the court-appointed "amicus," ripped into the Justice Department in a recent filing, arguing its move to drop the charges against Flynn was part of a political effort to benefit President Donald Trump's personal ally.

"In the United States, Presidents do not orchestrate pressure campaigns to get the Justice Department to drop charges against defendants who have pleaded guilty -- twice, before two different judges -- and whose guilt is obvious," Gleeson said. "There is clear evidence that this motion reflects a corrupt and politically motivated favor unworthy of our justice system."'

In the United States former presidents who commit crimes while in office should also be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Trump has pardoned Mike Flynn. This is undoubtedly the beginning of the big criminal cover-up. Pardons will be issued for his associates’ dirty deeds, culminating in Trump trying to pardon himself for any crime he committed, ever.

Don’t think he won’t do it. Trump will absolutely try. He will pardon himself and dare the Supreme Court to find his actions unconstitutional.

Gambler2 said...

Field, I agree with you totally. Every avenue of investigation must be pursued with vigor. If Trump pardons all his gang members' crimes at the federal level, then the states must prosecute whatever state level crimes that they can uncover.

History, beginning with Water Gate, then Iran Contra, and now Trump's illegal behavior shows that Republican presidents will continue to flaunt the law if we allow this behavior to go unpunished. Nixon should have gone to prison, and Reagan should have been impeached, tried, and then joined Nixon in the federal pen. If they had paid a price for their crimes, perhaps Trump would have had a little more respect for the law.

Trump is a crime boss and he's going to go down just like another crime boss, Al Capone. They are going to get him on his taxes.

mike from iowa said...

Funny, Bsarr in his confirmation hearing said drumpf dangling a pardon in front of Flynn was a crime. drumpf pardoned Flynn for keeping his conspirsacy laden mouth shut about drumpf's crimes.

Former attorneys in US government say this pardon can be thrown out because it was an illegal act. Hope Dems make the attempt, although McCTurtlefuckface will block them.

PilotX said...

I don’t know, some people will just be happy trump is gone and like Palin just hope no one ever utters their name. trump fatigue is a real thing.

dinthebeast said...

So now, in accepting his pardon, Flynn has both admitted guilt and lost his fifth amendment protections.

Haul him into court, or in front of congress, put him under oath, and make him tell where the bodies are buried.

Also, the military should revoke his commission and terminate his benefits, he is, after all, a general, and has besmirched the country and its armed services with his disgusting behavior.

And speaking of Flynn and Fergus' legal troubles, the judge who told Flynn in open court that he was unsatisfied with his cooperation and wondered aloud whether his behavior was "treasonous" has been chosen to hear the federal lawsuit against the Fergus campaign's attempts to disenfranchise thousands upon thousands of voters in direct violation of the VRA.

I have a feeling that Emmet Sullivan has had quite enough of Fergus' attempts to play with the judicial system for fun and profit.

Biden is distancing himself from calls for Fergus' prosecution, which is as it should be.

That's the DOJ's job.

Biden's job is the restoration of the integrity and independence of the DOJ, and the prosecution of Fergus and his felons can be the example of his success in that endeavor when it is carried out with independence and without pressure one way or the other from the president.

“Haul him into court, or in front of congress, put him under oath, and make him tell where the bodies are buried.”

I would anticipate a lot of “I don’t recalls” in his testimony.

You could hold him in jail for contempt for a bit if he refused to answer, but I imagine he’d just laugh that off.

Paradoctor said...

Doug: Of course Biden will leave the DOJ independent, but also of course, the GOP will claim his influence when the indictments come down.

But with or without DOJ, Trump has to worry about SDNY and countless lawsuits. It's at moments like this that I appreciate federalism.

And beyond all his troubles with the law, there also his troubles beyond the law. Owing hundreds of millions of dollars, to persons that you don't want to name, is a danger zone.

For his own safety, he should turn himself in.

Few - if any - dislike Donald Trump as much as I do - fundamentally he has used low level Fascist tactics to try and divide our population by 'identify' rather than govern us all equally and fairly. . .Bush & Cheney could have been "criminally charged" for lying us into the Iraq War - Obama did not get into it - he was correct - the DOJ decides. . .IF the new DOJ leadership does investigate Trump - and finds solid evidence - I guess they must follow the law - but I hope the case(s) are not 'slam dunks' - and thus the Feds do not charge Trump. . . Our nation does not need more division over Trump - he does not deserve the attention - and heaven forbid - if Joe Scarborough gets elected POTUS in 2024 - he would retaliate by investigations into various innocent Biden people. . .Hopefully - the New York state - and New York City civil and criminal charges against Trump will either "lock him up" or bankrupt him. . .Trump ends on 1/20/21 - and after the messes he leaves get cleaned up - lets not subject ourselves to a public spectacle of his fund raising and innocence claiming for a couple more years in federal court. . .

Totally great article! Everyone should read it. There is no way to simply sweep Trump's crimes under the rug in the name of unity. To do so would make a mockery of the law.

In his frequently used words, "Lock him up"!

mike from iowa said...

If Dems don't prosecute drumpf to the fullest extent of the law, wingnuts will take that to mean anything goes, as long as they themselves do it.

Wingnuts already have another impeachment chip on their shoulders and they will continue disrupting government to pay back Dems for daring to impeach a tool that deserves a whole lot worse than impeachment.

Will he be investigated and tried for murder as well?

The penalty for murder has 1 of 2 options...depending upon which state you're in.


But then he did say that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and get away with it.
So he'll probably beat that rap and walk away Scott free.

Historically and traditionally in the country of America, the "powers that be" that made the laws are all to willing to bend the laws or change the laws when it comes to keeping themselves out of jail.

Just take one look at the color of the predominantly incarcerated people in the "not so United States."

The last thing a white male wants to do is to send another white male to jail...regardless of how heinous the crime.

Jails have been reserved for "blackmail" aka "black males.!"
It is no secret that in America there is a "pipeline to prison" mentality that begins looking at elementary illiteracy data in the black community to predict how many jails they will need to build.

“And beyond all his troubles with the law, there also his troubles beyond the law. Owing hundreds of millions of dollars, to persons that you don't want to name, is a danger zone.”

No one is going to have Trump whacked if he is unable to pay his debts. He owes money to banks, not the Russian mafia.

His tax returns did, however, indicate that the Trump Organization will probably go under and have its assets auctioned off after he leaves the White House, unless he is able to identify some kind of new grift or scam to keep it afloat.

So far, Trump TV appears to be it. He may be planning to gin up resentment among his cultists by suggesting the election was stolen from him, and then to monetize that resentment via them all watching his new TV network — which will be Fox News, but even dumber, more hateful, and less honest.

I agree that Trump owes money to banks. That's part of his legal trouble. But prove to me that he does _not_ owe money to the Russian mafia. He could disprove that by telling us who those persons unknown are, but he does not; so I say that they're too shady for him to dare name, and that spells mafia.

Besides, the difference between Russian banks and Russian mafia is a difference that makes no difference. Trump was always a wannabee, and this is the kind of trouble that wannabees get into.

I admit that this is all speculative, and it does not credit him with the benefit of the doubt. But the benefit of the doubt is a line of credit that Trump ran out long ago.

"But then he did say that he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue and get away with it."

His retarded lawyers argued just that in the proceeding over whether his tax returns were off limits to prosecutors or congress, and they got laughed out of court.

They even argued that local law enforcement could not stop him from committing subsequent murders.

As for the Russian mob, I doubt that he owes them any money directly, but a Russian state bank did underwrite his loans from Deutsche Bank.

I hope everyone is having a nice Thanksgiving and not spreading covid around in the process. This has been a shitty year, but we do have much to be thankful for.

Sonovovich, inventor of sliced bread, (His idea never truly caught on, because he sliced it lengthwise.) and the Pullem brothers, Les and Jess, twin dentists, who rid their patients of troublesome teeth by inserting tiny sticks of dynamite in their patient's mouths. Les Pullem went on to work on the Suez canal as a demolition expert, while his brother Jess Pullem succumbed to injuries sustained while doing a full mouth extraction on himself, blowing his fool head off. He's buried in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky.

As far as jail time, I don't think Donnie'll serve a day in jail. Maybe a few fines and probation. His lawyers will get him off using the "Affluenza Defense" and by pleading insanity. Who could argue with that?

The attempt to selectively nullify the votes of ethnic minorities is one problematic side of what Trump is doing, albeit just a new twist on the racist voter suppression of the last few years.

But inundating the court system with a blizzard of lawsuits you know are meritless before ever filing them, in hopes of preventing your election loss from being certified, is a completely separate form of assault on democracy.

Pennsylvania High Court Throws Out Challenge to Ballots

November 28, 2020 at 8:16 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 65 Comments

“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Saturday rejected an election challenge spearheaded by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), who argued that a law permitting no-excuse mail voting violated the state Constitution,” NBC News reports.

“Kelly, along with several other Pennsylvania Republicans, sought to invalidate millions of mail-in votes, which could have ceded a key state won by President-Elect Joe Biden to President Trump.”

Washington Post: “Legal experts had predicted little chance of success for the suit, which also sought to block certification of election results. Trump and his allies have gained no substantive traction across more than two dozen cases trying to undermine President-elect Joe Biden’s win since Election Day.”

The Ballad of a Tin Man

You walk into the room like we should all bow;
You see a paramedic and you say, "Who is that man?"
You try so hard but you don't understand;
Just how it is that you’ll get home.
Because something is happening here but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. MAGA?

You raise up your head and you ask, "Am I still the Prez?"
And somebody points to Joe Biden and says, "He is."
And you say, "Who am I?" and somebody else says, "Well, who are you?"
And you say, "Oh my God, am I here all alone?"
But something is happening and you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. MAGA?

You call in your room service and you order your meal;
And the waiter walks up to you and says, “You’ve been declined.”
And says, "How does it feel to be a nobody?"
And you say, "Impossible!" as he hands you the bill.
And something is happening here but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. MAGA?

You have best buddies among the Saudis;
And they love you in the temples of Jerusalem!
But your dictator pals have all turned cold, they don’t think you’re so bold;
To be voted out in a free and fair election!

Ah, you've been with the tyrants and they've all liked your style;
But with the allies of the United States. you’re a leper and a crook.
You've been through all of Herr Hitler’s books;
You're very well-read, it's well-known.
But something is happening here and you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. MAGA?

Well, the sin eater, he comes up to you and then he kneels;
He crosses himself and then he clicks his high heels;
And without further notice, he asks you how it feels;
And he says, "Here is your heart back, thanks for the loan."
And you know something is happening but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. MAGA?

You see the election results and you shout the word "Fraud."
And your faithful lapdog asks, “What State do I sue now?"
And the judge says, “This is spurious, and how!
Give me some evidence or else go home"
And you know something's happening but you don't know what it is
Do you, Mr. MAGA?

Well, you walk into the room like a despot, and then you scowl;
You tell the reporters off with your nose in the air;
