American Values

Getting Trump

Virtually every conservative believes the neo-Marxist left wants to force Donald Trump out of the presidential race. Over the weekend, a few people raised a point that I never thought I would hear in America. 

 

Rachel Maddow was thrilled when the federal charges were filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith, and she suggested that some kind of plea deal could be arranged. She said:

 

“You have to wonder if the Justice Department is considering whether there is some political solution. . . Do they consider as part of a potential plea offer, something that would [prevent Trump] from running for office again? I don’t know.”

 

It’s tempting to say that’s just spin from a crazy leftist desperate to drive Trump out of politics. The charges are absurd. The charges never should have been filed in the first place, just like charges were never filed against Hillary Clinton. 

 

Hillary ran classified information through her private server, which she kept in a bathroom closet. Her aides physically destroyed evidence in the course of the investigation. (Here and here.) They were never prosecuted. To the contrary, they were given immunity!

 

It’s no wonder why the American people overwhelmingly distrust the FBI.  (Here and here.)

 

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC), who has never been a Trump fan, told Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo, “Joe Biden wants to give Donald Trump a death sentence for documents.  He’s facing hundreds of years for mishandling documents, and they want him to die in jail. And yet Hillary Clinton is standing free today.”

 

According to one report, if convicted on all charges Trump could be sentenced to 400 years in prison. Countries where the government uses its power to oppress and destroy its political opponents -- Russia, communist China, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela -- are not nice places. 

 

Sadly, the United States of America is increasingly headed down the dark path toward neo-Marxist totalitarianism.
