Race to the bottom': Legal experts fear escalation spiral ahead of possible Trump indictment

Ahead of a prospective indictment of former President Donald Trump, legal experts and elected officeholders are warning that such an unprecedented move may spur a dangerous escalation spiral of retributive political prosecutions that undermine the nation's justice system.

Trump announced last week that he expected to be arrested imminently. While that arrest has not yet occurred, the prospect of a Trump indictment looms large as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg continues his investigation into an alleged 2016 hush money payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels.…


…Many experts have branded the prospective case a political prosecution, citing legal weaknesses and witnesses of questionable credibility.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley fears the possibility of Republican prosecutors retaliating by pursuing similarly flimsy cases against high-profile Democrats, fueling a self-perpetuating cycle of politicization.

"My concern is that this could trigger a type of tit-for-tat response where Republican prosecutors seek to weaponize criminal charges against Democrats," he told Just the News. "We cannot afford a race to the bottom in political prosecutions. Such prosecutions will only magnify the rage that is already pulling this country apart."…

This is an interesting news report covering matters brought up that are important to consider . This potential 1st ever persecution of a former president and current candidate for same office is over very questionable, shaky, and flimsy charges. They are supported by people of questionable moral character.

 

I endorse GOP prosecutors around the country bringing retaliatory prosecutions against high ranking democrats. The ante needs to be upped. The democrats and the deep state do not get a free pass to persecute Trump. There will simply be anger and a whirlwind we will feed for them to reap if they do. Tit for tat until they stop.

 

Democrats and their leftist followers are their own worse enemies. And they can't even conceive it.
They have single handedly, swooned over Trump for 35 solid years, then; overnight, just 24 hours after announcing he was running for president, they decided he was a racist, white supremacist, Homophobe, Islamophobe, misogynist, womanizer, pedophile, money launderer, tax evader, planted russian spy, rapist, and any other name you can think of.

Now they have spent 7 years with hundreds of criminal claims and investigations and they have landed on a NY DA, with a federal charge he can't even prosecute, thats 2 years past the statue of limitations, that federal authorities won't even touch?

The more they keep Trump in the news with their fake investigations and fake anonymous secret government agents with claims of whats in classified documents and sealed federal documents, proving Trump is going to be indicted, the more the left continues to slurp it up, spits it out, driving more and more money and supporters into Trumps pocket.

 

That seems odd

 

Well he is all of those things, right?

 

Tit for tat seems about right for allies of The Stain...

 

If they have committed crimes eg obstruction of justice then that would be OK - if not - what are you going to charge them with?

 

Really? From what I gather from New Yorkers and others here they have hated his guts for YEARS because of his habit of stiffing contractors

Nope! All of that predates his run but thanks to Roy Cohn and his other pals (especially the Mafia) he got away scot free. Did you know that there was an investigation into him by Aus Police when he applied for a Casino licence in Sydney back in 1987 and it was rejected because of his ties to the Mafia?

That is just one but this is hardly new that he is facing court. Prior to running he had been involved in over 3,000 courtncases

The base that is slowly eroding?

TRaitor tRump is an Adderall addicted narcissistic psychopath.

 

Politicians are not and should not be abovd the law

 

Short memory you have, dude. What do you think the whole, "lock her up" and years of Bengazi investigations were about?

 

Like I said, Democrats and their leftist followers are their own worse enemies. And they can't even conceive it.
You be sure to let us know when all these claims emerge into something that isn't your imagination.
We've been waiting now for 7 years.
Haven't seen a single media claim (or the lefts regurgitation of it) come to pass.
But you keep up the great work

 

Patience is a great virtue

We have patience

 

Why?

 

if republican want to fake arrest people to pay back for arresting trump for valid things, have at it - the public will see

it's sad the right has come to this

 

It needs to be threatened and followed through with if they target Trump anyway. If democrats want to open Pandora’s box to a 3rd world banana republic then they need to reap the whirlwind. They need to be put on notice that what they do to Trump will be visited upon Biden and other democrats tit for tat until they stop. If they retaliate then hit back with more 10x harder.

 

miss the days when politicians did bad things, and they disappeared and never showed their faces again, this new breed has no shame

 

sure, cause Trump is above the law and should get away with everything right

if anyone on either side commits a crime, charge them

 

It’s sad that democrats have come to this where such talk is needed. They need to respect the peaceful transfer of power and not try to lock up the president from the other party when they gain power. Whatever threatened prosecutions in the future need be done to bring democrats to their senses is warranted.

 

The rest of the article details the type of flimsy charges that can match the flimsy one the Manhattan DA has invented.

 

Except he’s not being persecuted, so far he’s not even being prosecuted.

the media “leaks” and associated publicity are his own.

He’s on tape and video admitting and committing crimes.

All this news of his pending indictment is of his manufacture for the purpose of agitating his followers so he can mine their pockets. And it works for him every time.

 

Lock her up was a slogan with no intent to carry out. She was never President either. A former senator and Secretary of State. Not the same. Since she was also a former First Lady, the chant was simply a slogan. What they are doing to Trump a former president goes much deeper if they follow through.

 

And the sun don't shine on the same dogs a$$ all day long.
We can quote all the little sayings you want.
It doesn't change the fact that the lefts batting average for criminal claims vs charges is around 0 for 20,000 over 7 years.
Making Trump the most exonerated person in US history.

What else are you going to throw at him?
After 50 Forensic FBI agents, two dozen CIA officials, 17 intelligence agencies, 14 top Democrat lawyers, 2500 witnesses and millions of subpoenaed documents, what did you produce so far?
Russia hoax fail
Russia hearings fail
Two impeachments to remove from office fail
Tax return fraud fail
Insurrection hearings fail
Tax evasion fail
Real estate fraud fail
Campaign finance fail

 

This was pre election

But you knew he was a con man

He “got away with it through bribery, court delays and pay offs

 

Wasn’t it? Looked pretty bloody convincing at 5ge time
