There are many terrifying happenings going on in the world today. The Middle East is a tinder box with nuclear bomb kindling. The terrorist enemies of Israel, the most glorious nation on earth after America, have resorted to war crimes and crimes against humanity that would make Himmler blush. “The world” defends these horribly sick men and women everywhere except here in America and in the Philippines and in some places in Western Europe.
Even in our beloved America, powerful members of Congress, for some reason all blacks and all women, defend murderous rapists and torturers of women and girls if the victims are Jews and the criminals are Muslims.
Our President and his staff say little or nothing to condemn this evil. And then there is Iran, thinly “disguised” as “Houthi rebels,” attacking merchant and naval shipping on the high seas, a real war against the West and Japan already underway.
All of these are dreadful. But something else is happening. To my mind, it’s just as terrible. It is an attack on the Constitution by the leftists of the Democrat party. In that attack, prosecutors and grand juries and hyper-political media are attacking elected officials and a future President through sham trials for made-up violations of law.
These legal fictions, eerily reminiscent of Comrade Stalin’s Show Trials of the 1930s, would be comical were it not for this fact: there are so many attacks, so many “indictments” scattered wherever a militant leftist prosecutor can find a grand jury, that even a man of Mr. Trump’s resourcefulness and intelligence has an almost impossible task swatting them away.
They are a swarm of poisonous hornets and even a powerful man and powerful political party will not be able to defeat them. They are a plague of wasps attacking a lion: the lion can kill thousands of them, but eventually, they will take him down.
This is a new form of Civil War. It can outrun the Constitution if the Supreme Court does not stop it now by Presidential Immunity. And even then, what happens when we have a new court, who’s to say what the law will be? Will we even have a Constitution? Can Prosecutorial misconduct defeat the Founding Fathers? So far, so bad.
