Former judges are mounting a legal offensive against Trump’s new $1.8 billion compensation structure because they fear what future presidents could do with it..
Thank you, Jack. I was already furious about this but admittedly, I hadn’t thought of it this way… the precedent.. It’s frightening.
There’s so much I’d miss if I weren’t here. There are days when I almost wish I didn’t see things so clearly but we NEED this. We need to understand just how dangerous what’s happening actually is. I’m grateful to have found you early in all this and to be here now.. even if sometimes it’s difficult.
I hope the former judges.. prosecutors.. and others are successful in stopping it. I hope the guardrails hold.
Excellent points, Jack. And chilling. The destruction of our system of checks and balances.
The monetization of grievance has another implication. Ruth Ben-Ghiat stated that payment to J6’ers from proceeds of this fund is in effect a down payment. Trump would be in, effect, creating a standing army of supporters loyal to Trump. Hitler, Mussolini and other strongmen had militias personally loyal to them.
.
Ahead are mid-term elections and a presidential election for a president with ever sinking poll numbers. Trump has already demonstrated he is unwilling to accept election results adverse to his occupancy of the White House. Should this theft of public funds be successful, it would facilitate another attempt that would dwarf J6.
Grrrrrrr!!!
