The Morning Briefing: Can the Trump-Hating Psycho Prosecutors Be Stopped?

Top O’ the Briefing

Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Chedvald was determined to forever be remembered as the spiritual godfather of avant-garde Jell-O mime.

Welcome to the unhinged American progressive remake of “Groundhog Day” as a political nightmare. Here is Athena’s succinct and perfect explanation of the plot:

In what has now become emblematic of the moral and societal implosion of the United States of America at the hands of the radical Leftists running the Establishment, former President and front-running presidential candidate Donald J. Trump has turned himself in and been arraigned at the Fulton County jail in Atlanta.

I’m sure that I’ve written this before, but it bears repeating: this is wearisome. A once-great country is being subjected to the manifestation of the emotional imbalance that’s brought on by being progressive. I wrote in my classic book “Don’t Let the Hippies Shower” that progressivism is “the toddler mindset manifested in adulthood.”

What we are seeing from these Trump-hating prosecutors is a lot of snot-bubble-tantrum acting out.

Athena puts it a bit more eloquently:

In a fairer time, drastic measures such as politicized hate impeachments, raiding former presidents’ private residences, and abusing governmental powers to maliciously prosecute one’s front-running political opponents were frowned upon. Sadly, today’s far-left Democrats are so militant and radical that no norm is too venerable for them to wipe their backsides with.

Sadly, this country will almost certainly never see a “fairer time” again. The best we can hope for now is probably “more medicated.”

I would like to think there will eventually be some backlash for the myriad ills the leftists have visited upon this country, especially in the last three years. Frequent readers here know that I often lament the fact that the Democrats never get any comeuppance these days. There is just enough boyish optimism left in me that I hold out some hope that it will change.

Most respected legal analyses of the various charges against Trump agree that the law has been twisted into something unrecognizable in order to “get” him. From a layperson’s viewpoint, the Fulton County charges seem to be particularly awful, as does its district attorney, Fani Willis. Republicans in the House of Representatives have some questions about her motives, which Chris wrote about:

Now that Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis has turned all eyes toward her courthouse in Atlanta, the House Judiciary Committee has its eyes on her.

WSB Radio reported this morning that Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) sent a letter to Willis’ office announcing an investigation into Willis and her grand jury investigation into Donald Trump and his actions surrounding the 2020 election.

“In a letter exclusively obtained by 95.5 WSB to Fulton County DA Fani Willis, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan says the 41-count indictment against former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants is not only trying to criminalize simple federal employee duties or freedom of speech but that its timing is meant to interfere with the upcoming presidential election,” reports WSB.

The five-page letter, which you can read at the end of this article, suggests that Willis had a political motivation in going after Trump.

Jim Jordan keeps shining a spotlight on some of the worst people in America. We can complain all we want about what may or may not come of it, but the scrutiny does throw sunlight on people and issues the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media would rather keep in the dark. There’s value in that. These rogue prosecutors should have to defend their misconduct in public.

I particularly like the timing of the letter to Willis. Jordan had to have known that it would hit the news cycle at the same time that Trump turned himself in. The publicity optics of it are brilliant. While Trump turns himself in with all of the swagger that he brings to these kangaroo court proceedings (he’ll fundraise a fortune off of the mugshot, which was brilliant), the House Judiciary Committee casts aspersions on the motives of the prosecutor who was hoping to be the star of the show.

Ms. Willis may soon find out that her 15 minutes of fame don’t play out the way she has choreographed them in her fevered progressive mind.

The Mailbag of Magnificence

Even though I was gone for a while, we still have a few emails to get to. Let’s start with this from Pete:

After so much time has passed since the Maui fire, I’m very surprised that no one has written about and made the comparison between how Ron DeSantis handled the disaster in Florida after hurricane Ian, and how the disaster on Maui has been handled by the governor of Hawaii. The difference between how a good republican administration and a piss poor democratic one handled disaster is staggering.

I wish I had thought of that when I was writing about it the other day. If I remember correctly, Biden took his time getting to Florida after that as well. But “empathy” or something.

Thanks to Bob for this:

Good morning Mr. Kruiser!

Allow me to point out with absolute confidence – what people can “Trust the Government” to do:

No matter what the problem, trust that the Government (or “Godovernment” as I call it!) will badly screw up the solution, adding significantly to the cost of the solution!

If they still taught government classes in schools, this should be the first thing the kids are tested on. It’s stunning to me that, despite the overwhelming historical evidence proving your point to be true, Bob, people still have blind faith in governmental authority.

Friend of the Briefing Brice and I are going to disagree on this one:

Mr Green says “…I’m just annoyed that the frontrunner doesn’t think he needs to fight for my vote.”

Why should Trump elevate the stature of the posers plus anyone who doesn’t already know where Trump stands on the issues shouldn’t be allowed to vote in the prinmaries.

I’m really amazed Mr Green sees it this way. I’m honest enough to admit Mr Green is a lot smarter than I am… but I see no upside to Trump walking into an eight plus the alleged moderators versus him debate.

I’m really amazed that you’re not offended by the Hillary-esque sense of entitlement. He’s got a big lead early on, so he shouldn’t have to do what candidates normally have to do because reasons and feelings? This is really where conservatives are now?!?!?

My sister is conservative but doesn’t follow politics closely. I mentioned to her that Trump was acting entitled, and she, without any prompting, said, “Oh, just like Hillary.”

As I’ve written and said many times, the Donald Trump running now is not the guy I enthusiastically voted for just three years ago. If he can’t handle a couple of hours in the spotlight with Doug Burgum and Martha MacCallum, he doesn’t strike me as the ideal point man to deal with Xi and Putin. (Once more for the Escalator MAGAs who don’t pay attention: I’ll vote for him if he’s the nominee.)

As always, every email is appreciated!

Everything Isn’t Awful

I’m suspicious here. All I’ve ever seen two cats do is ignore each other or fight.
