The FBI quietly dropped charges on 1/3 of the 2020 protester/ r****rs for the 2 billion destruction in 2020 r**ts. Equal justice? But 1*6 protesters still in solitary confinement for the last 2 years. Don't spout i**********n on one side and turn the other side free.

Trump, who was indicted Thursday, never did throw Hillary in jail, likely because he understood what the optics would do to the country.


With the indictment of former President Donald Trump, the U.S. has entered the “era of police-state politics,” as The Federalist’s Margot Cleveland put it Friday morning. The prosecution and expected arrest of a former president — and likely p**********l challenger — is a serious thing, made all the more outrageous by the nakedly political nature of New York D.A. Alvin Bragg’s mission. Bragg appears to be ginning up a criminal probe out of a possible campaign finance issue that federal prosecutors had already declined to pursue.

While the alliance of media and Democrat operatives who have been on a mission to bring Trump down since before the 2016 e******n rejoice over the unprecedented move, it’s worth revisiting the myriad times that their ilk decried Trump’s 2016 campaign pledge to have his attorney general “get a special prosecutor to look into” Hillary Clinton’s malfeasance, and subsequent chants of “Lock her up!” at campaign rallies.

Here are just 20 examples.

“Not a healthy sign in a democracy when the case against your opponent is that she should be imprisoned,” worried Ryan Lizza, then of The New Yorker, in 2016.


In a tweet about the “lock her up” chant, then-Politico writer Julia Ioffe asked, “Since when do Americans advocate jailing political opponents?”


“In a democracy, you can’t threaten to jail your opponents,” said former President Barack Obama in 2016. “We have fought against those kinds of things.”

“Trump threatened to jail Clinton if elected. These countries might do the same,” headlined a CNN piece comparing Trump’s comment to “authoritarian regimes.” The article further quoted CNN’s Dana Bash saying “what makes this country different from countries with dictators in Africa or Stalin or Hitler or any of those countries with dictators and totalitarian leaders is when they took over, they put their opponents in jail.”

“A line was crossed that I don’t know has been crossed in my lifetime, maybe ever, he threatened to jail his opponent!” CNN’s Van Jones said, calling Trump’s comments a “new low in American democracy.”

“Do you realize what would happen though if another country’s e******n — we would criticize, our State Department would say ‘that’s not a democratic e******n,’” argued MSNBC’s Chuck Todd.

“Trump’s threat to imprison his political opponent is a threat to imprison ALL his opponents -and lethal to democracy,” warned GQ’s Keith Olbermann, comparing Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid called the “Lock her up” chant “peak authoritarianism,” opining that “countries that lock up whoever dared to run against the autocrat are the kinds we used to send e******n monitors to.”


The New York Times ran a piece quoting a top Democrat lawyer saying it would “be mimicking the tin-pot dictators of historical disgrace” for the Trump administration to prosecute Clinton.

“Threat to Jail Clinton Smacks of ‘Tin-Pot Dictators,’ Experts Say,” ran another New York Times headline, quoting another “expert” who threw around the “tin-pot dictator” phrase.

“In America, we don’t send our political opponents to jail,” tweeted an official Democratic National Committee Twitter account.


Former ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul tweeted, “Dictatorships lock up the opposition, not democracies.”


“The zeal to not only beat but imprison one’s opponents has never been the basis for a p**********l campaign,” posted now-Washington Post writer Jen Rubin.


“In the USA we do not threaten to jail political opponents,” former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder wrote. (Yes, the same Eric Holder who spied on a Fox News journalist, told another journalist to “shut the h-ll up,” and was eventually held in contempt of Congress, was worried about the “abuse” of “the power of the office.)


CNN’s Christiane Amanpour told former FBI Director James Comey that “lock her up” was “dangerous potentially, that it could’ve created violence, that it’s kind of h**e speech.”

“Trump said America has turned into a 3rd world country. Threatening to jail political opponents would qualify,” tweeted James Pethokoukis, now a CNBC contributor.


Former Democrat Sen. Barbara Boxer remarked, “Putin and dictators jail their opponents.”


“When Donald Trump threatened to put Hillary Clinton in jail, he provided the American public with an insight into how the world’s autocrats get rid of their opponents,” wrote Masha Gessen in The New Yorker.

“[I]n America, we defeat e******n opponents, we don’t jail them!” tweeted The New York Times’ Nicholas Kristof. (Yesterday, Kristof published a piece in the Times titled “I Worry About a Failed Prosecution of Trump, but I Worry More About No Prosecution,” in case you’re wondering whether he still feels that way.)


It’s worth noting, of course, that Trump never did throw Hillary in jail, quite likely because he understood what the optics would do to the country. Clinton lies to this day about those top secret emails sent from her private server, and the Justice Department let her team get away with destroying evidence with BleachBit and hammers — Comey euphemistically told Congress that they “cleaned their devices in such a way as to preclude complete forensic recovery.” The Federal E******n Commission slapped her wrist with a puny fine for personally approving the destructive Trump-Russia h**x, in which the Clinton campaign’s law firm hired an investigative firm that, in turn, commissioned the Steele dossier, which wreaked havoc on American politics for years and rightly destroyed many Americans’ trust in the media and intelligence agencies. Next to that, the alleged campaign finance violations for which Trump has presumably been indicted pale.

My colleague Mollie Hemingway’s comments in 2016 about the “Lock her up!” chants remain equally prescient today. “It is true that mobs shouldn’t cry out for imprisonment, particularly before a trial,” she wrote. “But it’s also true that mobs shouldn’t be forced to cry out for justice because their institutions are doing such a horrible job of applying law fairly.”

The institutions have only gotten more horrible at that job. The two-tiered justice system reaches from the disparate treatment of p**********l candidates to the Justice Department’s decision to normalize surprise raids on the homes of pro-life pastors while downplaying acts of domestic terrorism against pregnancy clinics.

In that 2016 piece, Hemingway lamented the country’s descent “into one ruled by men, instead of one ruled by laws that apply to everyone, from the most powerful and wealthy to most poverty-stricken and oppressed.” Her words could have been written today and are just as sobering. If you don’t believe them, go see how many of the people who decried Trump’s words as the “death of democracy” are similarly disturbed about the exploitation of the justice system against the former president.

===================
A****A WAS NEVER ASSOCIATED with Pres. Trump's team. It was the FBI REPORTEDLY who ARRANGED to appear like Trump supporters when in fact not.

The FBI's are the actors who mostly made the J** 6th event in order to blame president Trump.

Jacob Chansley a US veteran was released from prison and moved to a house before set free on a year. Chansley was shown in video detail that he did not cause any violence. He was ushered by the Police Officers around Congress Offices. He was just following them. After the tour of office, Chansley prayed and thanked the Police Officers. It was clearly shown at the video. Why did Pelosi team lock him up?

After Chansley is released, I advise Chansley to sue these Capitol bastards who locked him up. The Democrat Marxist locks up more than 1000 protesters without trial. How can they bypass the law? Because this country now is a tyrannic government under a Totalitarian system.

Trump has pointed this out. It is the American people who value free speech/individual liberty that the left has in it's sights. Just like every other country the l*****ts/socialists/c*******ts/f*****ts have taken-over/controlled in order in ens***e the populace to the almighty state. Trump is simply standing in the way here in America. It's why there is an outrageous/vile/d********g effort to destroy him/AND his supporters. And the left-wing/slobbering/drooling useful i***t faction of the Democrat/C*******t Party continue to work to achieve their left-wing master's ideals...total control by their god...the state

This indictment was returned by 24 people who live and work where the crimes occurred. You are not waiting to see why they think Trump broke the law. You know better.
I’m shocked he has avoided jail for stealing national secrets, this seems minor. This office in Manhattan indicted over 100 other business owners for this exact offense last year, but without your political input, and they got justice, and so should he. I don’t hear one agonized voice (exceptDJT) claiming he is innocent.

Fat boy r****t Bragg, released most of his black brother felons in NYC to again roam the streets while terrorizing innocent Americans. Why is fat boy Bragg not locked up for being "an accessory to a crime?" If justice was really fair, most of the dem party would be in prison with The Clinton's, Bribems, ovommits and Pigloosli's leading the pack. In fact, right now, billy Bob Clinton's house should be raided for paying hush money ($850,000) to Paula Jones for their trailer park affair, WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT!!!! That doesn't even include the blow jobs Monica was giving him while interning in D. C. While Bill was getting his hum jobs, Hitlery was trying to put all of his fires out by calling all of his girlfriends, BIMBOS.
