It’s a race
The Russian government took how many years to contort its legal system long enough to end the life of Alexei Navalny?
In a bad remake of that movie we watch as various US government judiciaries perform similar acts on Donald Trump, no doubt with the same goal in mind. All the while, Hillary and Hunter sit comfortably at home clipping coupons from their book deals.
And we wonder why we can’t find any better qualified candidates to run for office?

In and among the social media sniping we find this pithy X-rated (formerly Twitter) -post from Tish James, the most recent Trump Torturer to garner career boosting headlines:
“For years, Donald Trump engaged in massive fraud to unjustly enrich himself, his family, and his organization,” James said. “He may have authored ‘The Art of the Deal,’ but he perfected the art of the steal.”
The irony here is that there really is a movie titled “The Art of the Steal.” Actually a documentary about real events, it showcases well-connected people who hated someone while living so much they manipulated the law after his death to frustrate the last wishes expressed in his Trust.

The Tish James case was about a real estate developer who inflated the value of his properties to obtain larger-than-otherwise loans from banks. This is a crime so ordinary you couldn’t get a proposal for it green-lit for a B movie going straight to streaming on the Home Shopping Network. The government could save a lot of money by prosecuting the microscopic crowd of real estate crooks who have NOT inflated the value of their assets.
More Irony: Another recent victim of questionable legal process, Sam Bankman-Fried is sitting in jail awaiting sentencing next month. But WAIT! There’s MORE! If you call NOW!! 1-800-P-E-R-S-E-C-U-T-I-O-N. We will include the story this week that described how everyone who SBF defrauded two years ago will likely get all their money back. If you are wondering how his jurors should be feeling right now, read the heart-warming story in this week’s New Yorker “The Haunted Juror” about a woman’s feelings 35 years after being manipulated by government into convicting two innocent teenagers, now in their 50s, who were just released from prison.
Timing is everything.

Next month the Alvin (and The Chipmunks?) Bragg New York Business-Records-Falsification-as-a-Capital-Offense trial will start. The basis for this case has to be right out of the Russian Penal Code. It is about mixing up your receipts for tax deductions while having sex, a mistake that everyone who has done it knows is pretty easy to make.
But WAIT! If you place your order within 30 minutes, we will include pictures of Fanni Willis, the prosecutor in the Trump-Did-It-And-Everyone-Knows-It trial in Georgia, solving that problem. She has no receipts because she repays her amour in cash from a large bag of greenbacks she just happens to keep in her kitchen behind the Corn Flakes.
The Bottom Line is that there is no bottom.
