New York's kangaroo court convicts Donald Trump on flimsy charges
Most GOP donors aren't falling for this sham of a trial, and they're rallying behind Trump, who made a point that the real verdict is the coming national election. But they should be wary that the court could even go so far as to imprison Trump if that's what they think will prevent him from becoming president again. All must be done to protest this very sad travesty of justice that was surely bound to happen someday, and will get worse along the way in the future.
Update: senator Marco Rubio says this is what you see in communist countries:
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) blasted the verdict in former President Donald Trump’s New York “hush money” trial, in which the former president was found guilty on all counts.Just shows how the USA is going far downhill even as we speak.
Rubio appeared on Fox News with host Sean Hannity on Thursday night.
“This is a quintessential show trial,” Rubio, whose parents left Cuba for the United States in 1956, roughly two years before Communist dictator Fidel Castro rose to power, began. “This is what you see in communist countries. This is what I grew up having people in the [Cuban exile] community tell me about. It happened in the days after the Castro revolution. Obviously, those led to executions. This, on the other hand, is an effort to interfere in an election.”
“Let’s all be clear about what’s happening here,” he continued. “Joe Biden is clearly senile and declining. He’s clearly weak, which is why the world is on fire. He’s incompetent, which is why we have runaway inflation and a border that is being invaded every single day. And then add to all of that, he likes to lie. He tells people lies all the time about how great the economy is doing, how there is no problem at the border. The guy’s behind in the polls. He can’t win. The only chance they have to win this election is to keep Donald Trump in a courtroom.”
“In this particular case, they found themselves a Democrat judge,” he explained. “This judge gave money to Joe Biden in 2020. His daughter is a campaign consultant for Democrats who’s actually out there marketing ‘Convict Trump’ stuff. Then you’ve got a DA who basically said, ‘I am going to go after Trump and put him away,’ when he was running for office to get elected. He didn’t know what he was going to put him away for, but he promised to put him away for something. Then you have a jury … that lives in Manhattan, which voted 85% for Joe Biden.”
Update 2: here's some commentary on the sad affair by rabbi Dov Fischer.
Update 3: one of Trump's lawyers acknowledged the possibility he could be sent to jail by the leftists running the asylum.
