RE: The Letitia James Indictment
Honestly, I think this may be the most important thing that Trump 45 or Trump 47 has accomplished thus far. It may have reset us to the baseline of comity.
You see, for many years now Democrats have believed that they could do basically whatever they wanted to Republicans, whilst Republicans were still bound by the Old Rules of comity and respect.
Those were the New Rules. (Hat tip, Kurt Schlichter.). They thought we would never adopt the New Rules.
We did.
The James indictment says to Democrats:
“You no longer can assume that we will let you do whatever you want to us. We will do to you what you did to us. And we will be merciless until you prove you will never do it again.”
The particular beauty of the James indictment is that she brought the most scurrilous and ridiculous of charges against Trump, while the record shows that James clearly committed the basic federal crimes she has been charged with.
Here’s the other thing. Federal laws are so complex and capacious that pretty much every one of us breaks a federal law every few months without knowing that we did. There has long been a tacit understanding in this regard that politicians would not take advantage of this with regard to mere “footfaults” on nonsense laws.
But Democrats decide to abandon that too. New Rules. That we now follow. Suck on it, Democrats. You get what you paid for.
(But to repeat; James charged Trump with nonsense; Trump charged James with a verifiable crime.)
