Remember when liberals used to justify the conduct of Mrs. Clinton’s husband: “It was only about sex”

And Dershowitz on the Hunter Biden laptop lawsuit:

“There will be a lot of depositions. There will be a lot of things in discovery about things about other members of his family. When you bring a civil lawsuit, be careful. BEWARE. Make sure you have nothing to hide.”

The regime is trying to change the narrative from their crimes to Trump.

What bothers me about this is that the supposedly smart people like Jarrett have so far not even mentioned the parallels to the John Edwards case.

It's like they don't want us to remember about it.

prosecutorial misconduct should suffer the fate of the false allegations tenfold.

I can hear President Trump waving a crooked finger at the camera, and saying, “I did not have sex with that woman.” That will be just for starters. He will nail them all.

I've been posting about it all week.

My latest:


Why does Manhattan have jurisdiction when John Edwards was tried in federal court for the same thing?

President Trump should demand the same treatment that Edwards got.

For proper context, we have to look at the incident with John Kerry's 2004 VP running mate John Edwards. Edwards' wife Elizabeth announced that she had breast cancer the week before the 2004 election, which Kerry/Edwards lost.

Edwards later ran for President in the 2008 Democrat primaries. He was getting the sympathy vote because his wife had announced that her cancer had returned. Early in the campaign, the National Enquirer discovered that John Edwards was having an affair with campaign photographer Reille Hunter, and ultimately had a love child with her. Edwards eventually dropped out, the charge of cheating on his dying wife was too much for even a Democrat to overcome.

Allegedly, Edwards was paying Hunter to keep quiet about it, but it was eventually discovered. People questioned whether the payments to Hunter amounted to illegal use of campaign funds, but the Edwards campaign argued that cash is fungible and it's hard to tell which cash - campaign cash or Edwards' personal cash - was used for the payments. Edwards eventually went to trial in federal court in North Carolina and was acquitted on the count of misuse of campaign funds, and two other counts were a mistrial. The DoJ declined to retry those two counts.

If President Trump were to be indicted for misuse of campaign funds when he had billions of his own (and no love child to hide), it would be in a New York court which would be hostile to him.

Still, the spectacle of trying President Trump in a local New York City court for the same charge that Edwards was acquitted on in federal court would twist the liberal talking heads into knots, especially when no child was involved and Trump didn't need the campaign cash to pay anyone off.

I just don't see how Bragg has any jurisdiction here.

Yeah, but it’s not too cockamamie for NY democrats who have a grudge to settle. They’re really losing their minds over Trump.

That sounds about right. The A holes.

I don’t think it’s really even about convicting Trump, they know the case will either be tossed eventually or Trump will win, maybe on appeal, but he will eventually win. The goal of all this is to distract Trump and dry up some of his campaign funding in hopes to damage or kill his chances in 2024.

Basically, the lawsuit is about his payment to the stripper, Stormy Daniels. Claiming that payment is a campaign charge that trump failed to document to the Federal Elections Committee.

But Alvin Bragg is executing the same old communistic tactic of show me the man & I'll find you the crime, because Democrats are all communists.

They also, talked about Hunter Biden's invasion of privacy lawsuit against the computer repairman, that Hunter will regret bringing in their opinion.
