Few know that the largest mass lynching in America was actually carried out in New Orleans against Italian immigrants. One of the basic measures of American jurisprudence is that lynch mobs are an evil.
But the media is cheering one of its own lynch mobs posing as a grand jury in Arizona.
The grand jury took aggressive steps to haul in witnesses and even brought charges against some who had been told by prosecutors they were not under investigation. It ultimately produced a 58-page indictment last month that charged national and state Republicans — including one of Trump’s current top advisers and several former members of his inner circle — with felonies for their alleged roles in the effort to overturn Joe Biden’s victory in the state. Trump himself was listed as an unindicted co-conspirator.
Documents reviewed by POLITICO reveal that at least two of the 18 people charged — former Trump lawyers Jenna Ellis and Christina Bobb — were assured by prosecutors that they were not targets of the probe, only to learn that the grand jury indicted them anyway…
One witness who testified before the grand jury said a faction of the panel drove intense questioning that exceeded the limited scope that prosecutors had publicly acknowledged.
The media spins this as the grand jury being “independent of prosecutors”, but more accurately this is what happens when a small group of MSNBC viewers who still have Mueller votive candles get some power.
Prosecutors would have wanted to limit the grand jury’s activities to a useful scope, this is anything but.
Instead, grand jurors grilled the witness for three hours, sometimes in pointed and accusatory ways — “a level of aggression that caught me off guard.” The witness recalled a juror who “seemed to be the leader of the ‘indict them all crowd’ and asked ‘pointed but specific questions.’” Another grand juror asked “more high-level questions” like, “How could you even talk to these people? What were you thinking?” with long “preambles” that made his views of the case known, the witness said.
This is not the behavior of an objective jury following the law, but a grand jury in which a handful of wokes acted like a lynch mob and pursued their political goals.
It’s inherently illegitimate. And should be enough to get this lynch mob thrown out.
One grand juror also wanted to know what the witness could possibly have been thinking in the weeks after Trump’s defeat. The witness wasn’t a target but left the room surprised by the tenor of the grand jury’s questions and feeling like a “punching bag.”
And after the grilling was over, the witness said, a prosecutor offered a sheepish apology for its unexpected intensity.
This is what lynch mobs look like.
The lawfare targeting the political opposition has empowered MSNBC viewers to get on grand juries and hold their own hanging parties. This harkens back to an ugly time in our nation’s history and it will destroy what’s left of the credibility of the justice system.
Sloppy, slipshod writing. Be more precise in your argumentation.
liberals just hate and sneer at everyone while drowning in their own self – satisfaction
Useless criticism without examples.
dirt clod claims editor status only to realize it is still a dirt clod
Lynch mob is right. Typical throughout history in various forms.
Piss off! A$$H*LE
Lawfare is the new term being used for war fare using laws and DOJ, AG’s. etc, against American citizens who are practicing our Constitutional rights of freedom! They are taking arbitrary laws where there was no crime committed and making up crimes and indicting innocent people! Meanwhile the real criminals and illegal aliens are released without bail, not prosecuted and allowed to walk into this nation unvetted and handed all the conveniences using our tax dollars and the majority of these illegal aliens are criminals and terrorists. This is banana republic shit which proves this nation and the world is in a global coup d’etat without firing a single shot. The first salvo was the pLandemic the cinching salvo, the rigging and theft of the 2020 election and 2022 election in Arizona!
Hey, our level of legal depravity and corrupt puts banana republics to shame.
Where does this abuse of the legal system end? With Republicans being so cowed they’re afraid to go into public life? With a single party for the entire USA? With the end of the checks and balances our Founders wisely created, and that eventually fostered a two-party system? And when (if) they accomplish this, how long before all dissent is erased?
Give that man an R.G. Dun. You’ve got the whole plot down, there. Look how they’re prosecuting everyone in or near Trump’s orbit. Even where acquitted it cost them a small, or medium, fortune in legal bills just to prevail. That’ll learn people not to work for Republican candidates in blue states or on a national level.
After reading about this “jury”, I am of the opinion that some juries should face the penalty that they are spuriously or vindictively trying to give to others.
Grand juries are suppose to be secret? We should have the court recorders read out. It would make great input for a playwright. Of course libs would be outrage and sue or try to ban it. I know how to take care of that too with little effort.
We are living under a Stalinist Soviet dictatorship. If we don’t vote out this Obama/Bidenites in November, our Constitutional Republic will be kaputt, gone down the drain.
We just don’t seem to have the stomach to do what our founders suggested. Not yet. Maybe never.
That tree of liberty is shriveling up.
If Trump can draw 80 thousand or more people to a rally, when they don’t have him tied up in lawfare court, what thin fiction will they produce this time to say he hasn’t won?
Only MSNBC viewers will believe it. They’ll be ready for a seat on a jury that could be against me and you,
….. But in Arizona ….?
A grand Jury democrat leftist lynch mob …..
…..
There are now just too many illegal aliens in Arizona …
….. Like New Mexico and Texas as well as California and Oregon and Washington
Someone once said “The best DEFENSE is a good OFFENSE”! This is clearly “getting ahead” of the ramifications of the EXPOSED VOTE FRAUD that took place in Maricopa County – no wonder they had to get ride of SHERIFF JOE!!
Since WHEN is it a CRIME to INVESTIGATE A CRIME?? Oh yeah, when DEMOcrats COMMIT the CRIME and then are in POWER!
Right now there should be a little dark haired FIRECRACKER of a GOVERNOR having these GRAND JURIES to INDICT all those involved in the VOTE FRAUD!
The went to the City Landfill and selected from the worse Flies Fleas Rats and other vermin to serve as a Jury
