If filed, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s highly anticipated “hush money” indictment against former President Donald Trump will be unprecedented. No sitting or former president of the United States has ever been indicted.
The U.S. House impeached Trump twice—and Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, once each. The Senate failed to convict any of them after their respective House “indictments.”
If Trump is indicted and then arrested, it will confirm America’s final plunge into Third World status. The U.S. justice system will be fully exposed as a tool to forgive Democrats and persecute Republicans, not least Joe Biden’s leading GOP rival. “Equal justice under law” will become a dim memory rather than a national ideal.
Until then, Americans should marvel at Bragg’s reported case. Manhattan’s far-left, George Soros-funded, thug-hugging DA might unseal an indictment with more holes in it than Trump’s Doral Golf Club.
First, hush money is no crime, unless someone gets paid to stay silent among police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, or judges. That is obstruction of justice.
Trump would be a criminal had he instructed his then-attorney Michael Cohen to wire $130,000 to Stephanie Clifford (nom de porn Stormy Daniels) to clam up if law enforcement asked about the adulterous affair that she alleges, and Trump denies.
