Boris Johnson quits on same day Trump indictment unsealed!
I would be in heaven except for that Trump-appointed judge and SCOTUS…
While classified doc thief Donald Trump was golfing, I was watching the French Open but all my players were losing so I went to the gym to drown my sorrows.
Little did I know that in those few hours, Special Counsel Jack Smith would take my advice from this morning. He unsealed the indictment against Trump and even issued a statement to the press, terse but effective, out-Donalding the Donald!
Wading through the 49-page indictment outlining 37, not 7 as previously reported, criminal charges against Trump with the aid of my apple juice “champagne,” a baguette, and a pack of fake oreos, I was shocked to hear that across the pond in the UK, bad guy Boris Johnson has been forced to quit his seat as an MP because of all the parties he went to during his government’s Covid lockdown!
I immediately reached for some salt water taffy. There’s only so much excitement one person can take! Actually Boris, like The Donald, was malfeasant but then lied about it and that’s the real reason he had to resign. But a Boris Johnson schadenfreude post will have to wait for tomorrow because today I am still digesting the Trump indictment. I am also most definitely going to have serious indigestion.
Since the days of Robert Mueller when we all became armchair attorneys, we started hearing about “speaking indictments” that tell a fulsome story of the crime as opposed to bare bones ones that are stingy with the butter, margarine and detail.
Luckily I am not a real lawyer because this indictment is pretty boring but I would say it is a howling, yowling indictment. If America had an independent judiciary, Trump would 100% be found guilty because Mr. Smith has brought the receipts.
Let’s pause here. If America had an independent judiciary…Democracies require an independent judiciary but the US legal system is so steeped in politics, it seems that Trump may get away with it all once again.
