Video Surfaces of Newly-Confirmed Progressive US Attorney Rachael Rollins Losing It and Attacking the Press – Opinion

In July of this yr, President Joe Biden nominated Suffolk County DA and Progressive Socialist Rachael Rollins for the District of Massachusetts US Lawyer place.

Rollins, who has constructed a profession pushing progressive justice “reforms” (spoiler alert: they aren’t), has solely labored within the position as Suffolk County DA since 2019, having beforehand labored as Counsel to quite a few authorities businesses together with the Massachusetts Division of Transportation, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, the Massachusetts Port Authority, and the Nationwide Labor Relations Board, in response to the Washington Submit. She holds a Bachelor’s from the College of Massachusetts in African-American Research, a JD from Northwestern, and a Grasp of Legal guidelines (Labor and Unemployment Legislation) from Georgetown.

But Rollins’ habits as District Lawyer has been erratic at greatest. In January 2021, a Boston information crew went to Rollins’ dwelling to get solutions to questions relating to a difficulty unrelated to the Biden Administration. Instantly, Rollins grew to become irate, making a giant deal concerning the press being at her dwelling the place her youngsters had been.

In a profanity-laced tirade, Rollins accused the information crew of a gross invasion of privateness, suggesting that her youngsters had been in peril because of the information crew’s presence.

The video of the encounter is right here:

Rollins even went as far to recommend that the information crew’s monitoring her down at her dwelling was racially motivated, accusing the Fox affiliate of placing her in peril “as a black lady, on this second within the nation.”

But Rollins didn’t cease. She instructed a Boston police officer to order the members of the press to go away. Sure, she ordered a police officer to inform the press the place they might not be in public. She even prompt they’d be arrested for his or her actions.

But, even that wouldn’t have gone effectively for Rollins. Why? Effectively for a lot of causes, the primary of which is that the TV crew had dedicated no crime. Even had they proven Rollins’ dwelling within the video (they didn’t), that’s not a criminal offense. They don’t seem to be trespassing, and final I checked, the press enjoys this little factor referred to as the First Modification.

Definitely, I can agree with Rollins that Fox’s resolution to trace her down at her house is in dangerous style, however actions like this are actually out of the Dem playbook. Keep in mind the FBI raids of sure conservatives? Wasn’t the press tipped off? Weren’t they at their houses? The place was the Democrat outrage then?

Even additional although, had the information crew been engaged in a criminal offense, that crime would doubtless have by no means have been prosecuted by Rollins’ workplace.  Throughout a listening to within the Senate relating to Rollins’ new position (into which she was later confirmed by the Senate) Ted Cruz pulled out a listing of crimes that Rollins has decriminalized:

Rollins was clear that the information crew was someplace they shouldn’t have been, instructing an officer to take away them. But, had they dedicated the crime of trespassing, Rollins’s workplace would by no means have prosecuted these fees.

She additionally accused them of being a risk to her youngsters, absent any proof that they ever had been a risk in any respect. Had the crew walked as much as the door and really threatened these children, what are you aware, it wouldn’t have been prosecuted by Rollins workplace. Hell, had they completed these issues incomes them an arrest by an officer, and resisted that arrest, it could have by no means resulted in prosecution. Oh, and now could be the time to say that had she even chosen to violate her personal orders to prosecute the information group, they doubtless would have been out shortly below her zero-bail coverage.

Rollins, like most progressive whack-job Democrats, lives in a world of “requirements for thee however not for me.” She is incensed that the media would dare present up at her home to ask her questions however doesn’t have an issue with the media harassing conservatives (or you understand… jurors on the Rittenhouse trial) at dwelling.

She has no drawback with making an attempt to implement the legislation, and even fundamental requirements of decency after they defend her, however denies those self same rights to 1000’s of others who’re the victims of crimes dedicated by these she has instructed to not prosecute. Felony justice reform isn’t the decriminalization of the legislation, a refusal to prosecute, neither is it the job of the District Lawyer to institute these reforms. Reforms to the Felony Justice system should be completed by means of the authorized and constitutional channels, by means of legislatures that develop new legal guidelines or eradicate previous ones, with these modifications being signed into legislation by an government.

Progressives usually declare to like the American system, however by no means abide by it. Rollins by no means needed to be DA. She needed to be a “Change Chief” (as written in her Twitter bio). It’s a disgrace she was confirmed because the US Lawyer. It appears to be like like a recipe for the denial of constitutional rights and liberty to the unlucky residents of that district.
