Malkin: Let's Join Together to Stop Out-of-Control Prosecutors

Updated,

Six takeaways about Manafort's and Cohen's Legal Woes .

Good words, but do words still matter at this juncture?  I'm not sure this is going to do much good except to buck up a few people.  There are those who are already leaving the fold so to speak.  You know, the ones who didn't need much of an excuse to do that in the first place.

There are those who say "felony".  This is but alleged at this point.  But if proven, then what?  Should we ignore the multiple felonies on the other side that have been committed that have not been addressed?  Besides, isn't the paying off of a porn actress, and failure to disclose this, is something of a hyper technicality in the law?  Anybody could get ensnared in hyper technical application of laws.  If Trump could, anybody could.

I am also questioning the legal representation of Manafort.  That was selective prosecution.  Such a strategy should also be considered as a factor in judging a case.  If only one side ever gets prosecuted for anything, shouldn't a jury be able to say "not this time"?  But the Manafort defense decided to rest without making any kind of a case such as that.

I didn't remember reading anywhere what exactly to do about what she is saying.  So I quickly scanned it again.  Nope, there isn't anything here but words.  Nothing but words, we are drowning in words.

This is opinion only.  That is all it is.  If you are going to "join" something, it has to be more than moral support.

The original post follows:

This isn't a wildly partisan piece.  Unfortunately, the detractors of Malkin will not be receptive to this appeal.  Not now.  They are wildly partisan, and probably won't listen to reason.

Why link to it?

It is hard for me to be optimistic right now, but that is all I got.  Just blind faith that it can still be worked out, but I just don't know...

Nobody should want what this has become and what it will mean for this country.  It is complete unchecked and unscrupulous government.  Who should want that?  Just so you can claim a victory over Trump?  Geez.
