The title of the two articles, one above the other from The NY Times (above) tell a story even without my inserted words from and photos of Trump.
MSNBC and other media covered the first story about Trump’s Truth Social post, so I didn’t have to read that Time’s article.
The Homan bribe story was all over the news yesterday (articles here).
Homan’s Wikipedia page is keeping up with this:
There’s not much to say about what the these stories tell about Trump’s obessive need for revenge and his corruption.
He’s going after people he considers enemies for (the following word is so appropriate) trumped up or non-existent crimes and allowing actual crimes by his allies, in this case bribery, to be covered up. This is so obvious we know what Garfield would say:
RawStory, in Trump's 'impeachable offense' sparks fury: 'Most corrupt thing I've seen from a president', published some reactions from social media.
When it comes to Trump, it has become a threadbare cliche to ask “what would happen if a Democratic president tried to do this?” For example, this is what Ron Filipowski posted this morning:
I don’t think that it remains to be seen whether or not Homan gets his just rewards. I very much doubt that he will. All I am curious about is what happens on what will prove to be the irrelevant edges of this story. I hope we’ll see congressional hearing over this. I want to see how Pam Bondi and Kash Pattel answer quesitons about why this never went anywhere. I want to see the FBI agents involved testify. I really want to see Homan himself under oath asked about it.
This bounced the Bondi and Homan and articles off the top of HUFFPOST:
Excerpt:
“To be very clear, [say] the president orders troops to go to every polling place in the United States on Election Day,” Bernstein ( Richard Bernstein, is an appellate lawyer focused on election issues and a former clerk for the late Justice Antonin Scalia) said. “According to the government’s argument, no federal court could enjoin it, the president would be immune and the president could pardon all of the people he ordered to break the criminal law. If that’s not a prescription for how to lose our republic, I don’t know what is.”
So many anti-Trump journalists and pundits are hinging their hopes on the Democrats winning back control of Congress. Don’t think Trump isn’t well aware that this would be possible if there are free and fair elections. He may not want to take his chances on the success for gerrymandering and the usual Republican cheating.
