The headline is Atlantic read this way: “The DOJ Must Prosecute Trump.”
The authors, Establishment lawyers one and all, want Trump criminally prosecuted because of the “evidence” presented by the nakedly partisan, Democrat-run January 6 Committee.
This is the popular theme in today’s media, a guessing game of will-he-or-will-he-not be prosecuted.
However, there are infinitely more things going on than the Trump January 6 story.
CNN pushes another Trump story headlined: “New York AG’s investigation against Trump can continue, federal judge rules.”
The idea here is that Trump’s private business should be investigated for alleged violations of New York law.
Trump is not to be forgotten
In November the Biden Justice Department announced it was indicting conservative media’s Steve Bannon, a former Trump aide, for contempt of Congress. NBC bannered the news this way:
Federal grand jury indicts former Trump advisor Steve Bannon for contempt of Congress
Of course one gets indicted if one has been held in Contempt of Congress — right? All media are for this.
Wrong.
Here’s this headline in The GuardianFrom back in the stone age, the Obama administration’s June 2012
After the historic election, Eric Holder was held contemptuous of Congress
As 17 Democrats and Republicans join forces to adopt resolution, Attorney General is the first member of the sitting Cabinet to be placed in contempt.
Eric Holder was, in fact, held in contempt by Congress, just like Steve Bannon. Contrary to Steve Bannon, Eric Holder wasn’t indicted by The Department of Justice. Eric Holder is the current Attorney General and ran the DOJ.
Is there any media outcry about this? Of course not – because Holder was one of the media’s favorite guys – a Democrat. An Obama Democrat, at that.
This list could go on. But just with these examples it is crystal clear that the American Left, aided and abetted by their friends in the media, are intent on criminalizing American politics — if you are a conservative or Republican.
These people will not be tolerated in the media. There will be so many media stories claiming you should face criminal charges for X that your grandmother may believe you are guilty.
However, the October 2020 incident is now infamous thanks to Twitter and liberal media. New York Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop vividly illustrated, in the drive to criminalize American politics one side only is to be prosecuted, the other side protected. The liberal media knows which side is which.
Social media has been able to expand this actual punishment beyond physical prison time. One conservative after another has faced social media jail for the most mundane of conservative postings, while the American Left — not to mention America’s enemies – are allowed to say and post more or less anything they want.
It all boils down to one thing. The media, acting as an ally for the Left, is busy buying into the notion that American politics should be criminalized — but only if you are a conservative.
This is dangerous to state.
It won’t stop, however.
No.
