Democrats have weaponized our schools and our judicial system. The solution is obvious, just ugly, but it will be solved sooner rather than later.
We need to find a way to fix it. Because it is very broken at all levels.
I don't know how to do it, but the legal culture of "just win for your client" is toxic. Lawyers on both sides should be trying to find the truth and punish the guilty. I see no benefit to a system where a defense attorney knows their client is a terribly guilty person and yet tries to get them off scot-free. That's bad. And attorneys who engage in lawfare should be disbarred.
This is nothing against the governor, but it’s a crappy article. I searched in vain for any mention of what the governor is being accused of, or why the accusations are false. This fails the basic test of the “Five W’s” of journalism.
The prosecutor admitted in court that she brought the indictment without the evidence to win the case. In fact, in open court, she had to beg and plead with the judge for more time to gather the facts
The quisling judge should have dismissed with prejudice at this point, found the Prosecutor in Contempt of Court, Sanctioned $10,000 and Remanded for 30 days with a Referral for Criminal Prosecution and Permanent Disbarment.
Easy peasy to find.
The dems used the “legal” system to stymie and then destroy Palin in Alaska AFTER the 2008 election. They filed a blizzard of lawsuits and “ethics” complaints in an effort to bankrupt her family, and keep her from actually governing the state.
The rats are just plain evil. They must be destroyed
You forgot about shooting her dog.
“The rats are just plain evil. They must be destroyed.”
Hate to say but I agree with you. They openly hate the Constitution, they hate our country, they hate our flag, they hate our culture, and they want to destroy everything that is ‘America’.
These are the domestic enemies the Founders feared.
If this is true, then if the judge was honorable, he/she would have put a stop to the case at that hearing.
Don’t see how we can co-exist with people whose entire understanding of law is as a political weapon to be leveraged against enemies.
The governor is accused of taking a picture of a woman he was having an affair with (several years ago) and violating her “expectation of privacy”. The law was written to prosecute guys who take pictures of women in tanning salons, etc., but has, in this case been stretched to include the idea of taking a picture without the subject’s consent.
What’s interesting is that the only evidence the picture exists is the woman telling her husband (he recorded the call) that Greitens was threatening her with it. She claims she was blindfolded but saw a flash. The prosecution does not possess the photo and no one has claimed to have seen it.
Yet he is being charged with a felony by St Louis prosecutor. I believe a Republican in Texas was hounded out of office by an Austin prosecutor. The case was dismissed but the Republican’s career was ruined. As far as I know the prosecutor suffered no ill effect from his efforts. I suspect neither will the St Louis prosecutor.
Thank you for your reply. I could not have said it any better
Travis county DA tried to do a similar thing to Rick Perry.
Naw...it's racial.
Fer sher.
The Dems also used this tactic on Tom DeLay and in the infamous “John Doe” case in Wisconsin against Gov. Walker supporters. It has gotten to be such a familiar tactic by Dems that it is called “Lawfare” (using the Law as an instrument of warfare against your political opponents).
