The Republican Party has raised the profile of conspiracy theories to infinity. Egged on by Donald Trump, the Party leaders…and followers breathlessly cry government weaponization, Biden Crime Family, and Democratic Judicial overreach. If one is to take these GOP assertions seriously, Joe Biden, whom they alternately accuse of raging senility, and rampantly corrupt thuggery, is the fiendish mastermind behind Trump’s 88 (formerly 91) felony charges, spread over New York, Washington, DC, Georgia and Florida. That’s in addition to the $5 million civil judgments for sexual assault and defamation last year. Last week, he was found guilty of 34 counts in the so-called hush money trial in New York.
Yesterday, Attorney General Merrick Garland faced questions while testifying before the House Judiciary Committee. While answering the frequently intense and always accusatory questions from GOP House Members, Garland defended the reputation, standards, and methods of the 115,000 Justice Department employees. He dismissed out of hand the allegations that the Department was in any way enmeshed in some conspiracy against Donald Trump.
That claim seems to represent the current litmus test for Republicans in general, and especially and in particular, for GOP candidates for anything. During the final days of Trump’s hush money trial, a series of Republicans, most of whom are presumed to be vying to Mr. Trump’s #2, er a, I mean, Vice President. Those men and women, as well as a host of other Republicans have been taking advantage of every opportunity to stand in front of a mic and assail the plight of the American justice system. Like their Svengali, several of them have suggested the country (America) has become a Fascist state. Moreover, when the question, “Is America a Fascist Country” was put to them, respondents either cosigned the assertion, or refused to answer it, real profiles in courage.
AG Garland noted that the Justice Department follows the facts and the law, not a particular political party. To buttress his position, he referenced New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez’s bribery trial, Texas Representative Henry Cuellar’s bribery indictment, and Biden Family scion Hunter’s gun trial, all Democrats.
Meanwhile though Garland didn’t mention it, of course, Trump has been charged with and convicted of dozens of felonies, with dozens more pending. Moreover, the American Justice System has actively intervened to delay Trump’s Day in court in 3 of his four trials. A couple of Supreme Court Justices appear to have conflicts of interests yet have indicated they have no plans to recuse themselves from the Trump immunity case. In Florida, a Trump appointed Judge has delayed the classified documents case. In Georgia, a Republican Judge ruled that either the DA, or her Chief Assistant had to step down, and further allowed Trump to appeal to have DA Fani Willis removed from the case. Naturally, you won’t hear Republicans complaining about any of those American judicial actions. “Projection: Trumpublicans' Tool of Choice!”
