Black Robe-enabled Political Lynching

Donald Trump has been found guilty as not charged. The “crime” for which he was egregiously prosecuted in New York actually is that he ran for reelection. Had he not chosen to do so, it’s inconceivable that he’d have been subjected to six weeks of a Leninist show-trial and convicted of even a single felony – let alone thirty-four of them.

 

The question requiring the closest of scrutiny is less what this black robe-enabled political lynching means for the former President and the sentence he’ll get four days before the start of the Republican National Convention, at which he will become his party’s nominee for the third time.

 

Rather, it is how much damage will such a blatant miscarriage of justice do to what’s left of public confidence in the cornerstone of our constitutional Republic: namely, equal justice under law?
