The indictment of Donald Trump charges him with crimes that, if he is convicted, could see him sentenced to a hundred years in prison. Surely the Leftist ideologues who preside over the weaponized and criminal “Justice” Department wouldn’t go that far, would they?
Sure they would.
Trump has been charged with thirty-one counts of “Willful Retention of National Defense Information,” for which the indictment says that the maximum prison term is ten years. It’s unclear whether that means Trump could get 310 years if found guilty of all counts or just ten for the aggregate, but wait, there’s more.
There’s one count of “Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice.” That one could get the America-First president twenty years. There’s one count of “Withholding a Document or Record,” which also carries a twenty-year maximum penalty. There’s a count of “Corruptly Concealing a Document or Record” (Hi, Hillary!), which adds another twenty years. “Concealing a Document in a Federal Investigation” — another twenty. “Scheme to Conceal” — five more years. And finally, “False Statements or Representations.” That one is five more years also.
So even if the first thirty-one counts get ten years total, Trump is looking at a maximum penalty of one hundred years in prison. But that’s inconceivable, right? Surely the shockingly corrupt Merrick Garland and his equally lawless minions wouldn’t go so far as to give Trump the maximum, right? All they want to do is sideline him for 2024, right?
Wrong. Leftist regimes are marked not just by intolerance of dissent and the crushing of dissidents but by the vengeful hounding of those dissidents. Trump doesn’t just have to be destroyed. He has to be destroyed in so shocking and spectacular a manner that no one else will dare to try to take up his mantle and stand against the regime again. That puts not just a conviction but a lengthy prison term entirely within the realm of possibility in this case, despite the obvious double standard regarding Hillary Clinton and Old Joe Biden and their handling of classified information. Or rather, it makes conviction and a prison term possible, or even likely, because of the double standard created by the Justice Department’s determined ignoring of the rules they’re enforcing on Trump when it comes to Hillary and Old Joe.
This is because terror is a hallmark of Leftist regimes. Every such regime that has ever plagued the planet has carried out a reign of terror, in which some people who were entirely innocent were caught up with the foes of the regime and subjected to the same brutal treatment those foes received. This was not an accident. It was a purposeful strategy. The idea was to terrorize the rest of the population into submission. If you never knew whether or not you might be arrested and thrown into the gulag while just going about your daily business, you’d be extra careful to make sure that you didn’t do anything that might arouse the slightest ire among the regime’s rulers and enforcers.
That’s why the “Justice” Department’s double standard is ever more glaring, and why Garland and his henchmen have never made any effort to dispel the impression that they have imposed a two-tier justice system. The idea is to show those MAGA Republicans that if they keep on resisting the regime, the full force of the United States government can and will be brought against them.
And so we have people who were let into the Capitol building by the police and who strolled around taking selfies for a while languishing in prison without trial and with virtually no advocates. And we have the chief opponent of the regime looking at the possibility of a century in prison. The underlying principle in both cases is the same: show the people what can happen to them if they get out of line. And if the history of earlier Leftist regimes holds true in this case, with most people it will work: they will fall into line and go about their business and use the pronouns the regime says are correct and just hope they won’t get the knock on the door at 4 a.m.
Many people, even among those who deplore the miscarriage of justice that is the Trump indictment, are saying that despite its obvious partisan vendetta, the DOJ does have a case: Trump had the power to declassify those documents as president but never gave any official notice of having done so. That could be enough right there to send him away for a very long time, until his bleached bones bear mute testimony to the futility of dissent.
Una Salus says
His supporters have already seen what that looks like.
Una Salus says
Trump will never serve a day in prison because a two-tier reality system requires only that he be introduced to the possibility of that reality.
SPURWING PLOVER says
Biden should be doing 2nd term in prison and make it a Lifetime term and with George Soros as a cellmate
Una Salus says
Maybe he could pardon himself from jail while serving as president?
SPURWING PLOVER says
The ones who really belong in prison for 100Years is Bill and Hillary Barack Obama, George Soros, Al Gore and Joe and Hunter Biden for Treason and Abuse of Power and god knows what else

PAUL BERMAN: "Back in the 1930s, people used to assume that, once the Nazis had found their way into a position of responsibility for the well-being of Germany, they would stop saying wild things and would certainly think twice about putting their program into action. Power was supposed to sober the Nazis up. But maybe there is something about ideologies of group hatred that makes it hard to sober up." — From an interview with Michelle Sieff

Trump advocated for them and had a number 1 hit, but Apple and Spotify tried to deny it with their usual leftist lies.
Laurence Jarvik says
Jury nullification could prevent this if he gets some better lawyers IMHO….
Greg says
Nobody faces 100 years in an American prison because post-constitutional America does not have 100 years left to survive– Period. President Trump will probably outlive this Democ-rat fascist usurpation of America. In any event, historians will remember President Trump when all of our Democ-rat garbage elites, including The Kenyan, have been forgotten
Kasandra says
There is no statute, federal rule, or case law on the steps necessary for a President to declassify material. Any attempt to impose one on conduct that took place in the absence of a standard would be an unconstitutional ex post factor law and would deprive Trump of due process. This persecution, er, prosecution is simply pour encourage les autres by showing them that, if they can prosecute a former President they can trump up charges and ruin his followers similarly. This is disgusting.
Onzeur Trante says
Even if they do succeed in throwing Trump in prison (a horrible thought), the Democrats will continue to pursue him until the day he dies and even beyond the grave. This is the hallmark depravity of those running the show.
I pray for the former president and for our country and its future.
Sword of the Spirit says
I love Pres. Trump, but he is a deer in the headlights. Deep state has foot on his neck and is taking the sword outta the scabbard.
While Trump was in office the DemoCraps were throwing and landing punches every day while Trump was leaning back against the ropes blocking.
They had electronic bugs all through the White House and moles in his cabinet. They had saboteurs in his White House sabotaging every move he made.
They had rioters in the streets burning cities. Terrorizing and vexing us.
He found no way to stop any of it and then they stole the election right out from under him. He is still the same good man and they have not stopped their punches. His neck is still under their foot.
We need an Abraham Lincoln and a Union Army. Unfortunately God is not going to provide either as we as a nation have accepted the abominations and God is going to now destroy this nation as we know it.
Mo de Profit says
People will destroy your nation by playing God. Like the elites who try to fix climate change they play God and destroy.
Goodnight Irene says
You are absolutely correct. God has had it with the sexually immoral, debauched Western world who has given Him the middle finger.
Semaphore says
The powers that be need to wake up and sniff the air. Our societal winds are changing in ways they don’t realize. One would think that Bud-Lite and Target would have caught their attention, but sadly that is not the case. We have had two years of bad government, two years of agenda poked down our throats, two years of the FBI investigating those who speak up. I fear many are at the breaking point. Sending Trump to prison when he is the leading candidate for the right I fear will be the final spark. I hope I’m wrong. We can’t afford a civil war.

If Fascism ever came to America it will come disguised as Liberalism…Ronald Reagan…
Heads up folks… It has arrived..
