Case File #71543-2023

April 5, 2023 (Vol. 17 No. 18) - Some say he looked bewildered. Others say he was angry. I say he looked like he always does - the south end of a northbound mule. One couldn't help but take some measure of satisfaction in seeing our whore-mongering former president finally being arraigned for one of the many crimes he has committed during his sordid and scandalous life. However, that pleasure is tempered by two facts. First, as a general rule, no one ever wanted to see a former President of the United States as a criminal defendant - although I suspect most Americans thought this would happen the day this grifter was "elected" by a minority of voters. Second, there's the realization that this sad saga is only beginning. The next hearing in the People of the State of New York versus Donald J. Trump will not come until December. I don't fully understand why this process should take so long. Justice delayed is justice denied. Frankly, the former president's legal team - looking as if it came right out of the cast of The Godfather - is going to try and drag this thing out as long as it can. Its basic legal theory is this: If Donald Trump can win back the presidency, he will be untouchable. That makes me want to ask his supporters this simple question: Do you really think the President of the United States should be above the law? If so, tell that to Joe Biden. I'm sure he will be interested. Another other legal theory being floated about is that you can't make a felony case out of a state crime committed to cover up a federal crime. Using a legal term here, that theory is loadus fullum crapulous. The Manhattan D.A.'s office has been convicting white collar criminals under similar circumstances for decades. So now we wait patiently for case #71543-2023 to work its way through the criminal justice system. In the meantime, there may be additional indictments for other crimes - sedition, insurrections and even rape - just over the horizon. You see, it isn't just the Manhattan D.A. that has defeated President Bone Spur's number. That's it for now. Fear the Turtle.
