I was shocked (but sadly not surprised) when you said they were threatening your children and wife. That’s what happened when you speak out. Putin’s jails and kills his opposition, from leaders to people on the street. Trump started down that same path, constantly threatening the Dems and his anonymous followers threatening anyone who speaks out against Trump. We even have what has clearly become the state news channel, Fox, defending Trump and all costs. Even seeming to side the Russia, Putin and Trump, despite the treasonous nature of giving support and comfort to our enemy. It is more obvious then ever the traitorous nature and turncoat support of Tucker and Trump going so far as to go against America while during a war when are supplying and supporting Ukraine, Russia’s enemy.
The January 6th justice machine is rolling on everyday and I follow it. But the problem there is two fold. One, we just saw the prosecutor in the New York case, Braggs, had two main lawyers quit after four years of building a criminal case. Some fancy defenders of this decision come out on non-Fox news and respectable newspapers and try to convince us that as lawyers they understand why Braggs essentially dropped the case, because he didn’t thought he could win. Braggs apparently went through all four years of files in a single month before making that decision (yeah, that’s not credulous). So he can’t win. So what. This isn’t about Trump’s favorite and only obsession, Winning. It’s about America this time, not whether the case will win or lose. It’s pursuing Justice when the whole country is at stake, not about putting a “win” on the score card of the new prosecutor to further his political career. Democracy means transparency in part and pursing just always, this time for a nation. Braggs is taking a transactional approach, just like Trump, for his own private gain instead of for the nation. He may be “on the left”, but he is acting like the New Right, the Trump right, win at any cost.
Secondly, sadly, justice is often rigged. The January 6th committee are doing their job but I believe they know those with authority to prosecute won’t, the USDOJ. So far they have issued subpoenas, criminally black and white cases against those like Mark Meadows, but the USDOJ has not enforced them. This probably is how they will pursue it. Instead we will get yet another lengthy report that we can buy on Amazon in ebook format. But not prosecution against Trump. The powerful are not held accountable.
Best of luck to you and you’re family and stay well.
