by


Home Oversight Committee rating member and constitutional legislation professor Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) destroyed the concept Trump ought to have his trial delayed till after the election.

Raskin stated on MSNBC’s Inside with Jen Psaki:

I don’t suppose there must be any delay in present prosecution. In any other case any prison defendant within the nation would declare for president, or senate, or home, or mayor and say you can’t prosecute me anyway anymore if to prosecute me the yr after the election.

Consider it this fashion. If somebody is operating for workplace after which is implicated in a homicide or a rape, or an armed theft would we are saying, no? We’re going to carry that till after the election till within the regular case it will be occurring earlier than, he must be handled precisely the identical with anybody else can be handled in the identical scenario. There been lots of of prosecutions of individuals on the premise of crimes that occurred on January sixth. Why ought to he be particular?

Rep. Raskin was spot on. Why ought to Donald Trump get particular remedy? If he’s given particular remedy, does that imply that anyone can use a political marketing campaign to delay a prison prosecution? The concept is nonsensical and contradictory to the nation’s democratic course of and notions about justice.

The one motive that Trump launched his newest presidential marketing campaign when he did is that he’s trying to keep away from prison prosecution.

If judges enable defendants to keep away from prtion by abusing the electoral course of, it’ll do critical harm to the nation.

Donald Trump will not be particular. When his time period as president ended, he grew to become a private-citizen, who’s enttiled to the identical remedy beneath the legislation as everybody else, which is why he must be given no particular consideration till after the 2024 election.
