The indictment of President Trump is unprecedented, no President, former or current has ever been indicted before.
While that is an interesting historical fact to note, that isn’t the central argument against the indictment.
If Trump was indeed guilty of a crime, he deserves to be punished, irrespective of his being a former President.
So let's examine the case.
Let’s first look at the sexual affair claim.
President Trump has denied the affair with Stormy Daniel.
Daniels claims she had the affair,
But a 2018 letter that surfaced has Daniel denying that the affair ever occurred. Articles from TMZ and CNBC reiterated her disavowal of the affair and the payment of ‘hush money’.
Let’s look at the ‘hush money’ payment claim
A letter from 2018, obtained by The New York Post, proves that Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen lied to federal election officials regarding his $130,000 payment to Daniels for which he was found guilty and sent to prison.
Cohen’s attorney writes that “Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed Mr. Cohen for the payment directly or indirectly”
Since the transaction didn’t occur at Trump’s behest the entire case against Trump falls down like a pack of cards.
What if Cohen’s claims were true that Trump had directed him to make hush payments to Daniels and the Trump Organization reimbursed him for the payment to Daniels and cited it as legal expenses?
That would be a violation of the New York Business Record act and would constitute a misdemeanor. The statute of limitations for that has run out for that.
The grounds for the case are so weak that even the Washington Post has raised questions about the merits of the case.
The
election of Donald Trump on November 8, 2016, caused a political earthquake in
D.C. and beyond.
It was time for D.C. to introspect about why an outsider such as Trump managed to topple a seasoned establishment candidate such as Hillary who was funded and backed by all the powers that be.
But
the sanctimonious seldom notice their shortcoming instead they react with rage when
their foibles are revealed.
Hence
the powers that be directed all their energies to the destruction of Donald Trump,
the rare rebel who presents a threat to their monopoly.
The
indictment of President Trump actually occurred on November 8, 2016, his crime
was challenging and beating the establishment, what happened yesterday was
merely the formality.
There
were myriad attempts before.
They
claimed Trump won the 2016 elections by colluding with the Russians.
The accusers had no proof of how the votes were altered but their unrelenting campaign
of baseless allegations caused the Mueller probe in 2017 which caused almost 2
years of instability and cost $32 million of taxpayer funds.
When
Mueller failed, the Democrat-controlled House impeached Trump in 2019,
claiming he withheld military aid to Ukraine to compel Ukrainian
President Zelenskyy to announce an investigation into Joe
Biden.
As
President, Trump had a right to know if Biden, a possible future President was
compromised owing to his son’s shady business dealings in Ukraine. Military aid
has always been used as an inducement to coerce foreign nations to act in US
interests.
In
parallel, the Democrats and their PR Wing that masquerades as the media
invented stories to make Trump appears bigoted, chaotic, senile, ignorant, evil, and even a criminal genius.
In
January 2021, the Democrat-controlled House baselessly impeached Trump again,
for "incitement of insurrection" and "lawless action at the
Capitol".
Next
was the January 6th "insurrection" probe, which
like Mueller’s team consisted of those who presumed or wanted Trump to be guilty.
During
the committee's televised trial, only anti-Trump witnesses who based their testimony on baseless hearsay were invited while Trump’s attorneys weren't allowed to cross-question these adversarial
witnesses.
There has never been a day since Trump was sworn-in in 2017 that he wasn’t
probed or attacked. None of this would ever happen had he run for President.
It wasn’t
just Trump, his supporters were also targeted.
The
protestors of January 6th were detained for prolonged periods
of time and were awarded draconian punishments.
Parents
who opposed their children being indoctrinated with far-left propaganda were
branded as Domestic terrorists.
The
Department of Homeland Security branded opposition to lockdowns or spreading Covid-19
“misinformation” as a terror threat.
Last
year, Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified that the
DHS had set up a Disinformation Governance Board, that would sit in judgment of
the pronouncement of citizens.
Prior
to 2016, the targeting of political opponents occurred behind the scenes.
Obama’s
IRS subjected conservative
Groups to aggressive and needless scrutiny.
Obama's justice
department tapped the phones of reporters whom they deemed as
adversaries, dragged them to court, and prosecuted them three times
as many cases as all previous administrations combined.
Following
the election of President Trump, the actions are blatant.
The
proponent of these anti-Trump probes often claims that previous GOP Presidents such
as the Bushes were never targeted, to make the claim that Trump is the problem.
For
that, we just have to look at the records of the Bushes as President.
They
stood for everything that the D.C. establishment wants - gratuitous foreign wars
to enrich cronies, open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens, big government,
security agencies that surveil their citizens under the guise of protecting
them, etc.
The
Bushes were part of the convenient system that D.C. had built over the years.
There
were Republican Presidents and Democrat Presidents, who disagreed on minor social
issues, which was used to deceive the voters. But on all the major issues of
consequence, they were in complete agreement.
The
system of deception continued until President Trump arrived.
During
his inaugural address in January 2017, President Trump talked about
returning power back to the people
The
statement was a reminder to D.C. about their duty to serve the public, it
wasn’t political or controversial about it, yet George W. Bush was in the
audience and allegedly remarked 'That was some weird s###".
This
is all one needs to know to comprehend the one-party system.
The weaponization of government agencies and the justice system with an aim to outlaw political opposition is among the gravest perils has been plaguing the US for the past few years.
This
indictment of President Trump is like a declaration of a national emergency.
The schadenfreude displayed by figures in the establishment makes it perfectly clear what the goal is - to eliminate all threats to their uni-party system.

It is time for the public to rise up against this tyranny
There has to be a peaceful, organized, focused, and relentless response to this blatant violation of Democratic norms.
