Indicting Trump, At Long Last

THE FIRST INDICTMENT will not be the last. More will come. All criminals profess their innoncence profess their innnocence and admit guilt only when compelled by circumstances, such as overwhelming evidence or the opportunity to plea bargain to get a reduced sentence. Grand juries are nor seated for political purposes, but rather, because its slected members are deemed qualified by a judge, based upon their demonstrated ability to understand and weigh evidence on its merits. I know that Trump is a criminal because I saw him commit a crime in "real time", on national television. The crime was incitement to insurrection. Then too, I heard him commiting other crimes on audio, such as admmitting to being a sexual predator, blackmailing a foreign head of state, attempting to coerce a state attorney general to commit election fraud. Predictably, a huge majortiy of registered Republicans, most of whom self identify as Christian conservatives, are rallying behind their cult leader, their fellow reprobate in arms, laughably accusing the Manhattan grand jury and prosecutor of having political motives, as if its members were chosen based upon contempt for Trump. They were not. As in all other the investigations and legal actions surrounding Trump, due process and proper jurisprudence are being implemented. Characteristically, Trump is hiding once again, behind his followers, content to allow his criminal terrorist mob do his dirty work. Already his adult members are crying foul, falsely accusing anyone who tells the truth about Trump of political motives, accusing them of conducting a "witch hunt", overlooking the fact that witch hunts identify witches, just as indictments identify presecutable criminals. And of coruse, the Trump mob is threatening to again congregate and turn violent, necessitating police measures in New York to defend against them. They claim to be saving America when in fact they are doing damage to it, perhaps irreparable damage, being traitors, if unwitting traitors. And as has been the case from the beginning, Trump's supporters are every bit as reprehensible as he, every bit as traitorous, accessories to his crimes, and thus, criminals themselves.
