Conviction's Political Cost
00:03:35

| Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report, the Trump Trial and Our Injustice System. | |
| I've long criticized our current U.S. justice system on all levels as becoming much more about political justice than blind justice. | |
| The bizarre trial and conviction of former President Donald Trump last week on 34 felonies only reinforces my concerns. | |
| The New York District Attorney, Soros-backed Alvin Bragg, has been notorious for downgrading felony charges against others to misdemeanor charges. | |
| According to a recent article in the Daily Mail, Bragg had downgraded 60% of felony cases to lesser charges, resulting in violent criminals being released on the streets and a crime wave across New York City. | |
| But when it came to Donald Trump, Bragg lurched in the other direction, upgrading what normally would have been misdemeanor charges against anyone else to 34 felony charges against the former president. | |
| How can this sudden about face be explained other than politics? | |
| Jonathan Thurley, who is no fan of Donald Trump, has been covering the trial closely and has found more than a little disturbing the exuberant celebrations of Trump's conviction among the mainstream media and his political opponents. | |
| Recently, he wrote, The conviction of former President Donald Trump in Manhattan on 34 felonies produced citywide celebrations, which extended to the media, where former U.S. Attorney Harry Littman told MSNBC's Nicole Wallace that it was majestic day and a day to celebrate. | |
| When I left the courthouse after watching the verdict come in, I was floored by the celebrations outside by both the public and some of the media. | |
| Regardless of one's view of Donald Trump, it's a disturbing development in our society when justice is treated more like a football game where you root for your team rather than a way of preserving our freedom and liberty in an equal way for all. | |
| The real goal of the trial was political. | |
| None other than George Soros' son, Alex, let the cat out of the bag recently when he advised fellow Trump haters how to take advantage of the trial result. | |
| He posted on Twitter after the verdict, Democrats should refer to Trump as a convicted felon at every opportunity. | |
| Repetition is the key to a successful message, and we want people to wrestle with the notion of hiring a convicted felon for the most important job in the country. | |
| It was not about justice in any way. | |
| It was all about being able to call the likely Republican presidential nominee a felon, so as to undermine his support among voters. | |
| In other words, election interference. | |
| The market has a way of prevailing, however. | |
| The repeated attempts at using lawfare to remove Trump from the political scene have all backfired and actually have served to make the former president even more popular among voters. | |

Repetition of Persecution

|
| Immediately after Trump's conviction on the 34 charges, he began sending out fundraising appeals based on his persecution by the state of New York. | |
| As of this writing, he has, according to press reports, raised over $200 million for his campaign. | |
| The politicization of justice is not limited to the Democratic Party. | |
| The wind sown by political opponents of Donald Trump may well become the whirlwind they reap when their own political opponents are in positions of power. | |
