With Jack Smith Dismissing Trump's Federal Criminal Cases, What of the American Mantra, "No One Is Above The Law"?

Dec 1, 2024
As a 30-year federal prosecutor - a rule-of-law guy - I asked myself the question, whether the often heard refrain that "no one is above the law" still rings true in today's America.

I sat down, put pen to paper, and here is my take on that question.

1. The rule of law was a fantasy, a fairy story we were told and believed.

We have been finally made to see reality in neon lights.

2. I bet only 30-40 % even noticed?

3. And many noticed and love it.

The law is supposed to protect the GOP and Magas.
And used to control and punish everyone else.

4. Talk about "weaponized DOJ." We're about to see it.

5. Yes Trump always accuses others of the crimes he has and will commit.

[Evolve Dammit]

7. Indeed.

8. Instead of studying political science, people should be studying abnormal psychology.

That will give more insight into Trump's behavior.

6. Always been bullshit

No one can do an even cursory read through of American history and believe that no one is above the law.

If you’re not wealthy you can’t afford justice.

Always been like that. It always will be.

9. The rich and powerful rarely very rarely get their due,

it would be wonderful it dump got his.
