President Trump’s arrest tomorrow and other jokes
I seriously doubt that President Trump will be arrested tomorrow, although mere mortals would have long been arrested, tried, convicted and put away behind bars forever.
President Trump’s game is to telegraph to the Special Grand Jury that apparently can issue the indictment, that there will be riots if that happens, and I think they will worry that the far right lunatics will target them. Naturally, their personal information will leak. They know that so, in my opinion, it’s a covert threat.
Another huge reason… why not?
Do you realize the most serious political complication of a formal arrest, followed by a sham trial and so on? The real problem is the word “precedent.” According to the dictionary, the word means –
A precedent is something that precedes, or comes before. The Supreme Court relies on precedents—that is, earlier laws or decisions that provide some example or rule to guide them in the case they’re actually deciding. When hostages are being held for ransom, a government may worry about setting a bad precedent if it gives in. And a company might “break with precedent” by naming a foreigner as its president for the first time.
So if President Trump is arrested then all other politicians will become scared, even Joe Biden… no joke, as his family is involved in financial scandals.
The theory is… that if you become a high ranking privileged politician you are above the law. They won’t admit to that, but it’s true. If the domino known as Trump falls, it will knock over many more dominos.
Yes, we are a nation of laws, but selectively applied.
Not a joke.
