RULE OF LAW BECAME POLITICIZED LONG BEFORE THE ERA OF TRUMP
In Blue States Like New York Political Prosecutions Are Almost Routine
In 2004 Al French, long time Deputy District Attorney for Clackamas County, Oregon, was suspended from his job, while the Oregon State Bar* opened disbarment proceedings. What was Mr. French’s crime? He criticized John Forbes Kerry, Democrat candidate for the presidency. Kerry was making his Navy service in Vietnam a central part of his campaign, claiming to be a hero & claiming to be a leader. French, who had served with Kerry during the same period of time Kerry was bragging about, knew that Kerry was lying. Several Navy veterans who served with Kerry during his four months on the Mekong Delta** contacted each other to discuss whether they should expose Kerry as a liar. Their discussion resulted in the following public service announcement:
THE PUNISHMENT IS IN THE PROCESS
Every citizen has a First Amendment Right to voice their criticism or praise of a candidate. In the end, Al French was reinstated to his job, and the Oregon State Bar dropped disbarment proceedings. There was no “there” there and his persecutors were aware of this fact before they went public with the notion that Mr. French was bad, bad, bad. Long ago this writer, a practicing attorney in Oregon, became aware that Democrat prosecutors in Oregon and the Oregon State Bar are less concerned with punishing true lawbreakers than they are scaring Americans. They were not interested in punishing French. He was merely the conduit they used to send all Oregon Attorneys AND all government employees a message: DON’T CRITICIZE DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS.
CAN’T HAVE A CHRISTIAN JUDGE!!!
The Liberal power elite were itching to get Judge Vance D. Day off the bench the minute he was appointed by Governor John Kitzhaber in 2011. Since Day was both a Christian and the former chair of the Oregon Republican Party, yours truly was shocked that Democrat Kitzhaber appointed him to the bench. Very popular in his county, Day was later elected by the citizens of Marion County for a full term.
Liberal activists at the Marion County District Attorney’s Office watched Judge Day like a hawk. They were hoping to discover charges, any charge, against him to get this Christian off the bench. They eventually drummed up a flimsy gun charge (regarding Day’s adult son’s legal ownership of a firearm) based upon the word of ONE MAN who suffered from brain damage & alcoholism. One witness!
Think about that for a minute. The word of one person cannot sustain a successful prosecution, EVER. Evidence, the prosecutor needs evidence to back up one person’s word. Anyone who watches TV detective shows know that. A fair-minded prosecutor would not charge anyone without far more evidence than the word of one person. But, for district attorneys pushing a political agenda, the punishment is in the prosecution itself, even when it ends in failure.
Never mind being fair-minded, they had to get this Christian off the bench as an example to other Christians to hide their faith. The day after the trial began, the deputy district attorney in charge of the case asked the judge to drop all charges. ALL CHARGES! Their very flawed witness, their only witness against Judge Day, refused to testify.
These political hacks masquerading as “public servants” did not care about the dismissal of their case. They were not embarrassed or ashamed, because they had accomplished their mission: to get this Christian off the bench as a warning to all Oregon judges & attorneys, as well as the public. Keep your faith secret or we will target you! In their minds, they succeeded! Judge Day is still a member in good standing with the Oregon State Bar, despite efforts to disbar him. To this day, Vance Day does not have one black mark on his record.
THE CURRENT PERSECUTION OF PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS TWO GOALS
Goal No. 1: Prevent President Trump from returning to the White House. With his solid four years of accomplishments fighting to benefit the American people, the Deep State, the DC Swamp and the Hate-America Cult are all desperate, desperate to prevent a repeat. They know that Trump will not be so trusting & naive as he was during this first tenure in the Oval Office. He now knows how to defeat them.
Goal No. 2: Intimidate Americans from openly supporting President Trump. Since throwing his supporters into political prisons under the pretense of an “insurrection” has not dampened support for Trump, they have turned to Plan W. With only Plan X, Plan Y & Plan Z left, they are running out of ideas.
