Great post - thanks. Regrettably, Donald J. Trump appears to be above the law. "At no point during his long career as a celebrity real estate mogul and businessman has Trump faced any meaningful consequences for his fraudulent, even criminal, behavior. He has operated for decades with a shield of impunity crafted from his shamelessness, his celebrity and his craven willingness to intimidate critics with litigation or even just the threat of litigation.
What is striking is the extent to which this shield of impunity has only been strengthened by the political and legal institutions of the United States." Jamelle Bouie, New York Times, as quoted in my blog at https://natpernick.substack.com/p/who-will-challenge-donald-trump-as .
What will happen if he becomes President? Who will challenge him them and incur not only his threats but those of the Proud Boys and his other supporters? It's time for all of us to get more politically active - we cannot do everything but we can do a little more than we are doing now.
Don’t forget he’s a master at delay. He knows how to exhaust his opponents resources and money.
The 1980’s tax fraud case was where he took NY tax payer money for trump tower with contractual promise of payback. NY found his books so confusing, and surprise, a flood in the basement where records were kept - and finally gave up.
Today he is shocked that USA vs trump hasn’t collapsed under all the high dollar lawyer motions trying to bury in paper the cases. He never contemplated these felonies by a former President are so serious they can’t just expire and be swept under. He wants his “get out of jail” card simply because he should.
America can not afford to let these cases die on the vine. Our Constitutional framework hangs on law vs. popularity contests.
