Democrats Have Destroyed Equality Under Law
Paul Craig Roberts
I did not think it would be possible for New York Attorney General, Leticia James, and former FBI Director, James Comey, to be prosecuted. And I was correct that Democrats would protect their agents who tried to destroy President Trump. Republicans are too weak to fight their enemies. Indeed Republicans think their enemies are over there in foreign lands–Russians, Iranians, Chinese, Venezuelans.
A Democrat judge dismissed the grand jury charges against James and Comey on the grounds that the US attorney prosecuting the case was illegally appointed. The case was not dismissed on the grounds that there was no evidence, or on the grounds that the evidence against them presented to the grand jury was false, or that the grand jury was politically biased against the defendants. In other words, even if we assume the judge’s assertion of illegal appointment is correct, the appointment has nothing to do with the case against James and Comey.
The US Justice department last Thursday failed in its attempt to secure a new indictment against New York attorney general Leticia James when the grand jury refused the indictment. It is taken for granted that the prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Yet the case against Leticia James, a case strong enough to have already secured a grand jury indictment, was refused by a second grand jury. What is going on here? Did the prosecutor intentionally present a bad case? I remember AG Bondi saying that the Justice Department was staffed with Democrats. Are jurors in New York too fearful to indict Democrats? Do they fear threats and harassment by thugs?
Remember, the charge against Leticia James is that she committed mortgage fraud– the same charge on which she attempted to frame President Trump. In Trump’s case, there was no evidence of fraud. It was only Leticia James’ assertion. Moreover, there were no complaints of fraud against Trump from the people he allegedly defrauded. All of the lenders said they were pleased with the loans. No one suffered any loss. Leticia James knew that in the corrupt New York so-called “justice system” she could convict a person like Trump, who has been demonized by the media. She knew that there would be some black jurors influenced by the demonization of white people as racists and exploiters who would see in the case against President Trump a way of dealing a blow against their oppressors. Vengeful jurors were the basis for Leticia James prosecution of President Trump.
In the case of the indictment of Letitia James, the evidence is completely clear. She lied on her mortgage application that her rental property in Virginia was her place of residence. It was completely clear that she lied about her residence in order to save thousands of dollars in mortgage costs.
Now ask yourself what is the importance to the facts in the case of a prosecutor being dismissed by a federal Democrat judge as improperly appointed? Does it invalidate the evidence? If not, why is the indictment invalidated?
More importantly, why does a Democrat judge want a New York Attorney General who has committed a criminal act to remain NY attorney general?
Remember also that in the case of James Comey, the Democrat US attorney appointed to prosecute Comey leaked to the media that she could not find a case against Comey. The purpose of the leak was to prejudice the jury pool against finding Comey guilty if prosecuted by a different US attorney.
As you can see, Democrats view law as a political weapon, and not as a means of obtaining justice.
Democrats do not have a concept of justice that applies to everyone equally. Democrats have a multi-tiered concept of justice. For example, a black American cannot be held to the same accountability as a white American. A black criminal is a victim of white racist society, and his crime is the fault of white society. The result of this approach to criminal justice is that Democrat judges release heartened black criminals because they are more concerned to be fair to the criminal then to be fair to the society in which the criminal performs his criminal deeds. This leniency toward black criminals ranges over a wide variety of criminal acts. For example, the Democrats in San Francisco passed a law that it was not a criminal act for a black to steal up to $950 in merchandise per day per store. Theft was no longer a criminal act. It was reduced to a misdemeanor. The same reduction in punishment, if there is punishment, is seen all the way up the scale of crimes even to the act of murder. This report illustrates the legal privileges that white liberals have extended to blacks: https://x.com/restoreorderusa/status/1997046238353694869?s=20
Immigrant invaders are another group that Democrats favor for legal privileges. Democrats endeavor to provide immigrant invaders with the rights of citizenship, even though they entered the country illegally. Indeed, Democrat mayors, city councils, and governors attempt to prevent deportation of illegal aliens. Democrats also endow the sexually perverse with special legal privileges. For example, Democrats have imposed on females the right of biological men to have access to women’s private places such as toilets and showers if the male claims that he is a woman. A false claim takes precedence over biological fact and female privacy. Democrats also impose biological males on female sports teams. It is obvious that in America there is no longer a uniform standard of justice. Punishment varies according to the diverse legal privileges based on race, claimed gender, sexual preference, and citizenship or lack thereof. Instead of the legal profession objecting to the destruction of equality under the law, diverse punishments based on diverse categories of people are becoming institutionalized in criminal justice.
The trial of Daniel Penny in New York’s corrupt criminal justice system suggests that Democrat prosecutors associate guilt with whiteness and male toxicity. Penny a white former US marine restrained Jordan Neely, a black man who was threatening passengers on a New York subway. Neely died while struggling against restraint. The New York prosecutors, Dafna Yoran and Jillian Shartrand, accused Penny of killing Jordan Neely by strangulation.
There was no evidence of strangulation. The prosecutors’ medical witness produced the strangulation verdict prior to drug testing being conducted. She became flustered on cross examination and said that, even if Jordan Neely had sufficient fentanyl in his system to kill an elephant, she would have found that he was strangled. The strangulation charge was later refuted by competent medical autopsy.
Let’s ask ourselves a question: Why was this case brought? Clearly Penny was acting as a good Samaritan, putting his own life in danger by confronting a deranged person of his own size and weight. Penny did not know Jordan Neely and had no reason to kill him. When prosecutors gratuitously charge a good Samaritan acting to protect the public, they discourage intervention when the public is endangered. Although the jury cleared Penny of the prosecutors’ false charges, the message sent to potential good Samaritans is to avoid involvement, particularly if you are white and the source of the trouble or danger is a black. This message has been taught all over Europe and is the reason why European men do not intervene when white European women are raped by black immigrant-invaders.
The two Democrat prosecutors thought that they had another George Floyd-Derek Chauvin case. Another black man choked by another toxic white male. Conviction would bring them kudos from the radicals growing in power in the Democrat Party. Perhaps one day they would be sitting on the US Supreme Court and transforming society.
In a series of articles, I have shown that George Floyd died from an overdose of fentanyl and not from strangulation. This was known at the time of the trial, but the evidence was withheld from the jury and the media suppressed it. The Democrats needed a white cop villain to justify their inaction while blacks and left-wing Democrats looted and burned business sectors in Democrats cities. For Democrats justice now serves ideology and political causes. This is being institutionalized in the American justice system, and it signifies the death of Justice in America.
