criminal intent?

What, if anything, have we learned?

Not much it seems.

We learned the extent to which Mr. President(NOT) Donald JumpTrump will go to insulate and protect that which he considers his own • when in fact, in his role as the supposed President of the United States, he has no ownership of any aspects of the office - and yet he behaves, as if it’s his…..his administration (or lack thereof), his Secretary of State, his Justice Department - and scariest of all, his, armed forces.

We have learned that Mr Trump’s definition of Rule of Law, is applicable only if it pertains to, his Rule of Law and definition thereto.

We have learned that he is immune, though, to any amount of public outcry, any amount of global criticism, and f course, he’s now immune - or so he claims to the coronavirus.

Sidenote: give a thought if you will to anyone else that you’ve heard about, or read about, that has received a positive diagnosis of the coronavirus. For example, Chris Cuomo, since he’s a news personality, was able to invite the CNN cameras (remotely of course) into the basement of his home where he spent TWO weeks in painful isolation, battling the onslaught of the disease.

And how long did the supposed affected Donald Trump spend in any kind of isolation? Two days? Three? And then? Amazing recovery - no lingering after-affects - little, if any, discomforts. . . . . . and so perhaps, to those of us more skeptical than many of the rest of you, it probably appeared as yet another of Mr.President Donald JumpTrump’s, hoaxes…….He, who is so quick to throw around accusations of fake this, hoax that - of course it was a hoax! A totally self-serving hoax to elicit sympathy from his base. His brave and heroic late night motorcade review of the troops - c’mon! Give me a break - poor old Donald - who suffered such tragic agonies as bone spurs in his youth - he who has never known or felt any kind of suffering at all - was able to convince you that he was also a victim of this disease?

But, I digress - let’s talk about sedition and let’s talk about treasonous acts and intentions. And while we’re at it, let’s have a little primer about felonies and felonious intent-

Firstly, felonies. The United States has a clear-cut listing of felonies - both applicable to the state level, and separately to the federal level. Of the 29 published federal felonies, guess how many MrPresident Donald JumpTrump qualifies for -  first and foremost,  Tax Evasion. Yup! Tax evasion - a federal felony. Yikes! That sounds, like - serious.

The noted definition of Tax Evasion goes like:

Tax evasion is the illegal evasion of taxes by individuals, corporations, and trusts. Tax evasion often entails taxpayers deliberately misrepresenting the true state of their affairs to the tax authorities to reduce their tax liability, and it includes dishonest tax reporting, such as declaring less income, profits or gains than the amounts actually earned, or overstating deductions.

Next on the hit list of felonies, as they apply to Mr Trump, is:

Obstruction of Justice: in United States jurisdictions, it is a crime consisting of obstructing prosecutors, investigators, or other government officials. Common law jurisdictions other than the United States tend to use the wider offense of perverting the course of justice.

Obstruction is a broad crime that may include acts such as perjury, making false statements to officials, witness tampering, jury tampering, destruction of evidence, and many others. Obstruction also applies to overt coercion of court or government officials via the means of threats or actual physical harm, and also applying to deliberate sedition against a court official to undermine the appearance of legitimate authority

Hmmmm - doesn’t look good, huh? I mean, have we not seen instances of witness tampering? Wasn’t there a lady, Stormy Daniels, who, as a prospective witness in an action against Mr.President Donald JumpTrump, all of a sudden declined to speak out? Oh - yes - there was a little matter of a lot of money involved in that, wasn’t there? Like $130,000.00. Hmmmm- could also perhaps push that little incident into the Tax Evasion column too - whatcha think?

Okay - but wait, we’re not finished here yet - now what about Treason?

Wow! Now that’s a big one! That sounds like, s e r i o u s !.

Treason is a crime that covers some of the more extreme acts against one’s nation or sovereign. This usually includes things such as participating in a war against one’s native country, attempting to overthrow its government, spying on its military, its diplomats, or its secret services for a hostile and foreign power, or attempting to kill its head of state. A person who commits treason is known in law as a traitor.

Yes! Treason - right up there with sedition - almost interchangeable, what?

Well, my understanding is if one does not possess incontrovertible facts/evidence, treason is a trickyDicky one to prove. So, we’ll set that aside for the moment……but, before we rush away from that- do you not think that certain recent actions on the part of MrPresident Donald JumpTrump - in throwing around baseless accusations in respect to the newly elected President - do you not think that one might think - might think - that he has these ulterior motives . . . . . that by undermining the pins of democracy, in order to best serve his own interests, that he is acting rather counter/contrary to what is best for the country? As opposed to what is best - for him?

Think about it - we”l come back to this.

Ahhh, yes - ’tis yet another, right? I think we’ve heard (all of us heard) that

MrPresident Donald JumpTrump has been accused of both rape and of sexual assault - yes? In fact, did you know that currently there are 26 separate cases filed against Donald trump for those offences.

TWENY-SIX RAPES!

Are you kidding me? Nope! Not - not kidding you…..there are 26 of such cases pending against the esteemed president. Whassa matter - you got marblesInYourMouth?

Hmmm, again. This is like, maybe, s e r i o u s ? Not just the 26 rape cases (although for a normal citizen that would be enough to put a guy away for life, if proven guilty) - but Tax Evasion, Obstruction of Justice, Treason/Sedition PLUS Rape? Gee - how did y’all deserve, and how did y’all end up with a criminal like this guy?

But all that aside - that’s not the precise reason for this commentary.

The precise reason for this summary is simply that, in the aftermath of Trump’s loss in the election we are hearing very loud noises about his future – a future, assuming he does not end up in prison (not sure I’d take that bet).

No his future as a leader, as a guru in the Republican party, and even, God forbid, as their candidate for President in 2024. Now THAT, is scary!

‘But - but’, you say, ‘If he’s a convicted felon he can’t possibly qualify as a legal candidate…..or even if he is the candidate, and somehow wins, he wouldn’t be allowed to, as a convicted felon, hold office, right?”

Ooooops! Sorry Gracie - wrong there you are……as it turns out, if one is a convicted felon one is restricted from many, many, many things they might do with their lives….such as qualify to be bonded for a job….but, NOOOOOO!

Turns out there are NO legal obstacles to prevent a convicted felon from holding any - and that includes the presidency of the United States - any public office.

There! Take that! Think, on that

And, might I respectfully suggest - be quite afraid about that.

Hmmm - so back to that list of felonies. If there is no consequence to some, why is there a huge consequence to others?
