Gag Decision
Well it happened. Alvin Bragg took time from his busy schedule of not prosecuting shoplifters and cop kickers to take down Donald Trump. The jury convicted him on all 34 counts of ,,,um, …um, well the judge never really did say what the underlying crime was. But he did hang a gag order on the leading candidate in the 2024 presidential election.
Oh wait, Trump said on Friday the gag order hasn’t been lifted.
Biden Campaign Contribution
The alleged crime in Trump’s hush money trial was 6 years past its expiration date. The only way Prosecutor Bragg could drag Trump into a New York courtroom was to tie the old crime to a new intended felony.
Here’s how the WSJ editorial page put it: “Mr. Bragg’s main argument for the second crime is that because the Stormy payoff was primarily meant to influence the 2016 election, it was in effect an illegal donation to Mr. Trump’s campaign.”
Or could Stormy’s two days of juicy testimony be considered a campaign contribution to Joe Biden?
Worried that Trump Less than a Stable Genius
After the March 6 Capitol riot world leaders from China’s military brass to America’s Nancy Pelosi worried that President Trump was less than a stable genius. So General Milley called his Chinese counterpart to assure him he’d let him know if Trump ordered an attack.
The general also said that President Biden rejected his advice to keep a force of 2,500 troops in Afghanistan. He didn’t resign but described the withdrawal as a logistical success but a strategic failure.
No Love from Biden for Trump Vaccine Effort
President Biden isn’t showing his predecesor any love for the vaccines that have the pandemic on the run. Donald Trump flogged Operation Warp Speed. It was a Manhattan Project style effort to find a vaccine. Trump’s overexposure to daily press conferences may have killed his re-election. But Warp Speed was a big success.
Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson and Johnson developed, tested and jabbed vaccines into people’s arms in less than a year. It’s a process that normally takes many years.
Trump Vaccine Effort
President Biden’s response? “We inherited a mess.” Biden said that when he took office there was no plan for a vaccine rollout. And he bragged that he would ramp up to 100 million vaccines in his first hundred days. But the country was already vaccinating almost 1 million per day when he took office. And President Biden himself had already received his two shots by then.
Senate Trial of a Former President
Mitch McConnell is ok with a Senate trial for Former President Trump. On Monday the House delivered to the Senate one article of impeachment for incitement of insurrection. Or “erection” if you’re Chuck Schumer.
So, the Senate trial of Donald Trump is on. Again. But this time Trump isn’t the president. And the purpose of a Senate trial is to remove the president. At least that’s what my copy of the constitution says. It also says that when the President is tried, the Chief Justice presides. But the presiding geezer looks suspiciously like Pat Leahy. Maybe that’s because the president isn’t being tried. I’m no constitutional scholar, I just shoot the wounded. But, as Former President Trump likes to say, we’ll see.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the The United States: But the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
