The Los Angeles Times editorial board has called for former President Donald Trump to be charged with “conspiring to defraud the United States and conspiring to obstruct an official proceeding, the electoral vote count” on January 6, 2021.
The Times takes at face value the case presented by the one-sided January 6 Committee, without any cross-examination or even the opportunity to see the full testimonies of witnesses — some of whom say their testimony was misrepresented.
Many congressional proceedings are met by protests, some of them unruly; Democrats staged a sit-in on the House floor in 2016 to demand gun control, and blocked traffic last week to protest the Supreme Court’s decision in the Dobbs case. The Times is demanding that the Department of Justice ignore the First Amendment and single out Trump alone for punishment.
The editorial board argues that Trump “was told many times, by several close and well-informed advisors, that there was no evidence of voter fraud or ballot irregularities that would have altered the outcome of the election.” It ignores the possibility that Trump, along with millions of Americans, nevertheless believed that there was fraud; and the fact many of Trump’s policy successes came precisely because he trusted his instincts and ignored the assessments of “close and well-informed advisors.”

It writes: “He invited them to come to Washington for a ‘wild’ demonstration at which he gave an inflammatory speech to a crowd he knew was armed — and then directed them to march to the Capitol.” Few in the crowd, were “armed”; moreover, the Times, like the Democrats who ran Trump’s second impeachment trial last year, omits

Charge the whole damned Democratic Party and all RINOs with crimes against the United States.
Fumigate everything inside the Beltway
The exact opposite is true. Those who stole the election committed crimes against the United States.
They want war
Did they just invent this “crime”? lol. Trump needs to run for President again, if for no other reason, to watch the leftist meltdown in the wake of his third win.
Better yet, charge them with Crimes Against Humanity. Hang them all in The Hague.
WHAT crimes?
Telling his supporters to “march peacefully and patriotically in front of the Capitol so that your voices may be heard” is now “inflammatory speech” according to that rag called the Los Angeles Times?
Bullcrap.
PROJECTION!
Democrats are pushing hard to widen the public’s Overton Window to accept partisan prosecution.
Are they succeeding?
Which means absolutely nothing.
.
Agreed. He may win his third race but he won’t be able to serve once again.
USC section and paragraph, please.
Then present corroborated evidence.
The LA Times is owned by a Chinese tech billionaire who has deep ties to China. It is obvious that the Chinese government does not want Trump returned to the Presidency.
Ah, the Good Old Days, ... wise men remember The 1910 Bombing of the Los Angeles Times by the Murderous American Marxist Labor Union Thugs.
Now The Los Angeles Times are the Murderous American Marxist Labor Union Thugs.
I think the Los Angeles Times qualifies for that title more
than 100:1.
LA Slimes doesn’t report news any more. They’ve become part of the Lame Street Media and try to influence election outcomes.
Charge them all with crimes against reality. Then execute every one of them.
