A Legal System Corrupted
American Thinker ^ | 16 May, 2021 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 05/16/2021 4:00:59 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Three incidents this week confirm that something is seriously amiss with our legal system.

I’ve always had great respect for our legal system. It’s as good as any of which I’m aware. No, I’m not naive. I’m fully aware that every institution depends on the competence and integrity of those involved and that means sometimes decisions are rendered that are wrong -- muddy thinking and sometimes corrupt judges; self-seeking prosecutors; incompetent counsel; bad and poorly written laws; false testimony by liars -- all contribute now and then to unjust resolutions. But in recent years, my faith has been even more badly shaken by continued and obvious corruption all the way down the line.

This week there are three instances which confirm my belief that something is seriously amiss in our justice system:

-The continued mistreatment (overcharging and continued solitary confinement) of several of the January 6 Capitol demonstrators compounded by the officials’ lies about it and the Department of Justice’s refusal to make available to the public the videos of that event.

-And a claim by one of the three defendants in the George Floyd case that a key witness in the Chauvin trial had been improperly coerced to change his testimony and the prosecution (the Minnesota attorney general’s office) did nothing to inform the defense of the interactions the defendant asserts were coercive.

Lawfare is the preferred tool of war of the democrat party, followed closely by the use of paramilitary armies called antifa and blm to destroy property and sew fear and intimidation.

The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers. William Shakespeare, Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2.

Prosecutors, What Are the Odds?
What if the Attorney General for the United States, 50 state Attorney Generals, and 2,511 District Attorney Generals and all their Deputy Attorney Generals all decided to not prosecute those aiding and abetting illegal aliens?
What if they allowed a mayor to order the police to stand down in a riot?
What if they targeted patriots?
What if they targeted our President?
What if they didn’t prosecute individuals, a single judge, a mayor or governor for changing voting laws without involving their legislature?
What if they allowed individuals to deny us a recount?
What if the Supreme Court of the United States of America turned their heads to voter fraud?
What if that picture of Chuck Schumer with an underage girl on Epstein Island goes unpunished?
What if Joe Biden bribing the Ukraine goes unpunished?
What if Hunter Biden selling military tech to the communist Chinese goes unpunished?
What if Hillary Clinton selling uranium to the Russians goes unpunished?
What if we went to war against Syria without a declaration of war and supported the rebels in slaughtering 600,000 people and making 6 million refugees and nobody cared?
What if we let these same people support the rebels in overthrowing Egypt and Libya?
The same people that attacked our President, his lawyers, Flynn, Roger Stone, the same people that supported voter fraud, the same people that support pedophiles in classrooms, the people that traffic 10,000 young immigrants a year, all go unpunished by our inept or corrupt attorney generals.

There is an attorney general for every state.
Seven states do not popularly elect an attorney general. In Alaska, Hawaii, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Wyoming, the attorney general is a gubernatorial appointee. The attorney general in Tennessee is appointed by the Tennessee Supreme Court for an eight-year term. In Maine, the attorney general is elected by the state Legislature for a two-year term.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_attorney_general

The District of Columbia and two U.S. territories, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, elect their attorneys general for a four-year term. 2014 marked the first year that the District of Columbia and Northern Mariana Islands held an election for the office. In American Samoa, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the attorney general is appointed by the governor. In Puerto Rico, the attorney general is officially called the secretary of justice, but is commonly known as the Puerto Rico attorney general.

District attorneys represent the counties and they have deputy district attorneys.

There are 1.3 million American lawyers. Consider that at a minimum ten percent are corrupt and you understand the problem.

“The motion contends the contents of both conversations, and Dr. Mitchell threatening to publish an Op-Ed in the Washington Post critical of Dr. Baker amounted to “coercion” under the law, and that the defense should have been provided with evidence of the contacts between Dr. Baker and Dr. Mitchell given Dr. Mitchell’s connection to the prosecution evidenced by the November 5 meeting with four members of the prosecution team.”

This, alone, should be reason enough for a vacating of the sentence and a change of venue for any new trial.

When speaking of our legal system, always use that term. It has nothing at all to do with justice. It's just a 'legal system' designed and implemented to protect and promote government power grabs.
