Tremble, thou wretch

"Tremble, thou wretch,

That hast within thee undivulged crimes

Unwhipped of justice." – King Lear, King Lear by William Shakespeare

"The quality of mercy is not strained.

It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven

Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed:

It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.

'Tis mightiest in the mightiest." - Portia, The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare

 

What's your choice for the villainous DJT? The heavy whips of justice? Or the gentle rain of mercy? You can guess how LSR feels.

Some think it's a dilemma, but it shouldn't be. We are a nation of laws, and no one is above the law. Not no one. Not even the president. He is a criminal on so many levels! But there's a heavy, heavy political blanket wrapping it all up, and it's more complicated than it should be. 

A few presidents have broken the law in pursuit of policy, and none of them faced prosecution. But not one of them has been as criminal as the Commander-in-Cheat. To do nothing would encourage future ne'er-do-wells. 

For your reference, here are some lists of wrongdoings and crimes that the criminaliest president in history has committed. It's dizzying to think about all the wrong he has done. 

• Presidential rap sheet from The Washington Post.
• An extensive catalog of wrongdoings - criminal and otherwise odious - from McSweeney's.
• BBC outlines six cases that will dog him.
• And here is Slate's series "This is Still Happening" which outlines the corruption of the whole TЯUMP circle, including the Trumpitos.

Can we afford to prosecute the Criminal-in-Cheat? Can we afford not to?

The Case for Pardon/Non-Prosecution

The biggest argument made in favor of Biden's pardoning 45 for his crimes while president*, or at least not seeking prosecution. is that we should not be a country that prosecutes political enemies. That's valid, but it's not entirely applicable to this case!

"Movin' on"

Essays like Michael Conway's on NBC, calling for a pardon in the name of "unity" and "healing," appeal to my Pollyanna heart. Oh, wouldn't it be great if Biden showed the gentle rain of mercy and pardoned him and all would be right in the world? We could hold hands, have a Kumbaya moment, and have a big group hug. Forgive and forget!

Yeah, right.

One of Conway's suppositions for issuing a pardon is that in accepting a pardon, Cheeto Benito would be admitting to wrong-doing. Except that this supposition is nebulous, and BLOTUS certainly wouldn't agree, nor would his sycophants, so it's moot. He certainly would not admit anything. And even if he did, an admission is not going to heal us. This is a piss-poor premise for a pardon.

Columnist Randall Eliason writing for WaPo makes the flawed argument that many of his wrongdoings weren't really illegal, so we should let it pass, and that somehow the social and political "punishment" of being voted out of office and being considered a disgraced president is enough. 

Sorry, Mr. Eliason. It's not enough for this resister. 

Writing in the New York Times, Eric Posner's rationale for not prosecuting 45 is a little more bleak. In discussing the obstruction of justice in the Russia investigation or the Ukraine quid pro quo, he suggests that it goes toward constitutional latitude for a president to do the things he did, and a judge would be loathe to rule on an issue that is constitutionally hazy. Also, there's a lot that would be hard to find evidence for. Corrupt? Hell yes. Prosecutable? Questionable. Acquittal would mean more fodder for his victimhood. By not prosecuting at all, Posner suggests the oxygen will be sucked out of 45's martyrdom.

"We do not prosecute political rivals"

It's true that we should not be a nation that appears to prosecute political opponents for political reasons. There's a danger in that. But holy jeebus 45's actions went beyond the pale! For most of us, this is obviously not a political prosecution but a criminal prosecution. Period.

"Just a misting"

In reality, a pardon like Ford's for Nixon ("for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974") for a man like SCROTUS, would be a but a misting of mercy over a huge waterfall of culpability. 

For one, Biden can only pardon federal crimes. And if he followed Ford's precedent, the pardon would be only for crimes committed while president. We all know there are many, many other crimes. SCROTUS has been committing crimes all his life. He has committed crimes before he became "president," and he will continue to commit crimes after he is "president." To pardon him for the stuff he did 2017-2020 would not preclude prosecution for a slew of other crimes. We know that New York State has ramped up their investigation into DJT and the family's organization.

Secondly, if he pardons for crimes only committed while president, it frees up the DOJ to investigate for many other crimes committed before 2017, such as tax fraud.

 

And here's the thing: the Constitution states that pardons cannot be issued for impeachments. The Mango Mussolini stands as having been impeached for obstruction of justice and abuse of power. Article II of the U.S. Constitution is clear: "[The President] shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment." He can't be pardoned for those crimes. Whether prosecution is pursued or not is another question. (Side note: Even if he were to pardon himself, and that ability is highly questionable, he could still could not pardon himself for the offenses for which he was impeached). 

"Do it, and we'll make you pay"

Another argument for a pardon or non-prosecution is that if the DOJ pursues prosecution, Republican backlash would be too great for Biden and it would be difficult to do any of the important things that he needs to do. But won't the Grand Obstructionist Party, if they control the Senate, do that anyway? 

If he were to be pursued, he'd act like a trapped tiger. His go-to response to attempts at leveling consequences: hit back hard, or better yet, hit first. He has gotten away with escaping from lawsuits in the past by attacking his attackers and scaring them off. He won't go down easily. It worked well for him in civil cases, but will work less well for tough-as-nails prosecutors. The trouble is, Twitler has armed supporters, and prosecution could be met with dangerous opposition. Should we be a nation shaped by mob rule? No. But we cannot ignore the possibility of violence.

"Moot City"

Of course, all of the above would be moot if King Fear resigned on January 19 and had President Pence pardon him. That is a real possibility. Others agree with my prediction, like New York Attorney General Letitia James (D). If he did so, he could slink away to Mar-a-Lago, avoid the inauguration, and get a pardon all in one fell swoop! 

In the end, if Biden did pardon Donny in the manner that Ford did for Nixon, for any and all crimes committed while in office, he could indeed show the world he is truly merciful, a healer. This may be good for the nation: he would not appear to be persecuting political enemies; it would free up the Department of Justice to do other work; it would be a step toward healing the nation, and it would not be the be-all-end-all of justice. 

The Dangers of Pardoning

There is danger in setting the precedent of not going after outright criminal behavior. It will simply embolden future bad actors. After this election, we know that a large portion of the U.S. voting population is ok with a despot. And with the oligarchic/authoritarian/tyrannical mindset of those currently in power on the right (eg, 126 House Republicans who conspired to commit sedition), what happens in 2024 or beyond could be even worse. Millions voted for a despot. If we give Hair Furor a pass now, what will the next corrupt – and smarter – president try? We might as well not have laws at all. 

And think of all of 45's pardons that came down last week, with probably more to come before January 20. Talk about corruption! If we let him off, we open the door to when another bad guy comes to power, he can surround himself with people who know he will pardon them. They'll all be above the law. (Which begs the question a whole topic unto itself: should we reform the ability of the president to give pardons at all?)

Without consequences for this bad guy, other bad guys would simply be emboldened to do more bad things. The Repugs have been doing bad things for a very long time. Their crimes must be called to bear justice. 

The dangerous precedent that Ford set in pardoning Nixon got us into this predicament. That act led to this president* flaunting the law for his own gain. It's eerie that it's all the same players that have been scheming: Roger Stone, a sumabitch who idolized Nixon – right down to emulating Nixon's famous outstretched peace signs and a Nixon tattoo across his back. Roger Stone cut his dirty-tricks teeth during the Nixon years. And then there was Roy Cohn, the mafia lawyer who also advised Richard Nixon. Cohn was a major player in Nixon's games as well as 45's, and though he died before the 2016 election, his stench still graces Donny's boots. Cohn's ghost was very much alive during the last several years. 

It's a dangerous proposition to simply move on from the last four years.

The Case for Prosecution

The Rule of Law

The best reason for prosecution: We are a nation of laws. He did damage to our nation. He did damage to our democratic ideals. He should be held accountable. 

It would be ridiculous and untenable to let all of his crimes slide. Even if it was politically expedient and "healing," the sheer volume of crimes is unable to be ignored. This is the most criminal president we've ever had in our history. The crimes he committed are really bad-uns, and were not of the garden-variety presidential "stretch the law for the perceived good of the country," these were all crimes for his own benefit. He should obey the rule of law, goshdarnit!

Prosecution of this "president" wouldn't be a political act, it would simply be a legal act. If others see it that way, then that's too bad. He acted objectively illegally and should be treated objectively according to the law. 

Many on the right will cry and moan, but we have to ignore the noise. There may be political fallout, but what's right is right. He broke the law under the color of authority. Period. Meuller brought some out to the open. The House indicted him on others. Let our third branch of government weigh in.

Clear and Present Danger

One of the purposes of criminal justice is to remove a danger from society. This man is a huge danger. If he doesn't go to jail, he will have more chances to damage our nation further. We know he monetizes every position he is in. He's in debt to the tune of $400 million to who-knows-who. He has knowledge of many state secrets that are valuable. He doesn't care about the country; he only cares about himself. All of this adds up to one dangerous cocktail. We simply must put him away so he can't do more harm. 

And! You wanna talk political danger? There is a political cost to "playing nice," which unfortunately the Democrats are all too familiar with. The GOP does not act in good faith. If the Democrats decline to prosecute as "an act of good faith," they are just asking to be cuckolded again. Grow a pair, Dems!

Threading the Needle: Multiple Methods

What if we walk this tightrope by leaving alone the crimes while president and go after him for all the rest? Congress took up impeachment and acquitted him; let's put that aside as an "adjudicated" case. There is plenty else to get him on.

Do nothing

Biden should definitely not pardon him, but maybe he should not refrain from directing his DOJ, period. He shouldn't direct them to investigate and prosecute, but neither should he inhibit them. That way, Biden gets to be a healer, it doesn't appear to be a political move, blah-blah-blah, and the DOJ can work independently in doing their job. Which is what they are supposed to do.

If that's not nothing enough, and if using the DOJ to investigate is too fraught, then let's have an independent body investigate. Appoint a special counsel. Have prosecutors outside the DOJ have the reigns, and it becomes non-political. 

The tincture of time

Time may be a way to get him ...eventually. When he continues to commit crimes, when he fades from view and from memory, and when his MAGAts start to not care about him any more. Maybe then, if statutes of limitations have not run out, he can be prosecuted for the crimes he has committed while president*. Given that he is not going to change his ways, there will undoubtedly be new crimes to prosecute. 

Comparing to another odious figure in our history: Joseph McCarthy. McCarthy was widely admired by many back in the day. In fact, his polls while in office were better than 45's. Here is a Gallup poll showing his numbers, and here is a Washington Post piece analyzing the poll numbers between McCarthy and the Tangerine Palpatine. Today, McCarthy's name is universally met with disdain as the abhorrent person that he was. The tincture of time may help millions of others who have been temporarily blinded.

And it's already happening. They are moving on. Recently in The Los Angeles Times: Letters to the editor defending Trump almost don't exist anymore. 

Prosecute him for his all his other crimes

This is a man with a singularly heinous history of crimes. He was a criminal before he became president, he was a criminal while he was a president, and there is no reason to doubt that he will be a criminal when he is no longer president. If we don't go after him for crimes while president, there are plenty of other crimes to get him on. 

• Let's let New York State get him. He and the TЯUMP Organization are both under investigation in New York for bank, tax, and insurance fraud. 

• Let's get him on taxes. Most tax crimes have a statute of limitations of six years, and if we act right away, we can get Darth TaxEvader for his tax crimes for 2015-2016. His tax crimes are black and white. They are current. They are not political. They are dull and dry, plenty uninteresting to the millions of MAGATs out there. Evidence abounds (thank you, New York Times!), and the only "witnesses" are numbers on the page. There's not many ways in which his sycophants can defend tax crimes. He's basically a mobster, after all. Famously, Al Capone was not prosecuted for his gangster crimes. What sent him to prison was tax evasion. 

• Let's support the women in their civil and criminal cases against him for the dozens of sexual assaults he committed. Those will be done in civil court and at the state level. Civilly: get him where it hurts - in the wallet. Criminally: put him in jail for the harm he has done to women. 

• Let's impeach him again. There is nothing that says that impeachment can't happen after a person leaves office. If convicted by the Senate this time, we would at least enjoy his “disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States.” 

• Let's encourage and support civil cases. There are tons of civil cases that the DOJ can't touch one way or the other. Nor would a pardon. Let's let those play out. 

• Let's bet that state investigations uncover other federal crimes. If there are new crimes uncovered, and he doesn't have a blanket pardon, then it would be hard to ignore them. 

• Let's look at the bigger picture. We true crime junkies know that there are often crimes where investigators and prosecutors know the suspect is guilty, but there isn't enough evidence to prosecute. Or foregoing prosecution for one crime might actually help the prosecution for another crime. There may be some benefits – frustrating as it is – for we the victims to drop one case to pursue another. Perhaps Biden could issue a pardon for a narrow set of crimes and then let the rest play out like they are supposed to.

• Let's wait, ummm, maybe 24 hours. We'd just have to wait maybe a day, max, before he crimes again. He can't help it. He's a criminal. We just wait.

• Let's go after all of his associates. There be lots of 'em. This would be a strong message to future conspirators: You will be held accountable.

• Let's go after his kids. The Don could issue pardons for his children, but it's not likely that he can issue a blanket pardon for them. In order for him to pardon them, he would have to lay out the crimes that they committed. He won't do that. It opens too many cans of worms for them to be prosecuted for related crimes, or to implicate himself. It would hurt them politically. Donny Jr. and Ivanka, at least, have their eyes on future political aspirations. The Orange Anus does *not* admit wrong-doing. In the biggest irony, he won't throw his kids under the bus with pardons. So, let's go after them. There are plenty of crimes to charge them with. At least it's some justice. 

Truth will out

History will bear witness to all of this. In the meantime, what do you want to happen? What do you think will happen?

"Well, time is the old justice that examines all such offenders, and let time try." – Rosalind, As You Like It, William Shakespeare

The Last Gasp

It was a quieter week in the transition as the attempted coup breathed its final agonal breaths.

Bill Bramhall

SCOTUS says nay.

As promised, SCROTUS brought his grievances to SCOTUS. But they didn't wanna play. Even "his" three justices didn't show any interest in taking part in overturning the will of millions of voters.

On Tuesday, one sentence was all it took to send him and cronies home when they asked the Supreme Court to overturn the results in Pennsylvania.

U.S. Supreme Court 

And on Friday, the Supreme Court ruled on a case brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Paxton decided to commit an act of sedition, and seduced 126 House Republicans to support his petition to SCOTUS to toss out the results of four battleground states. 

Truly appalling. 

Thankfully our Supreme Court rejected this case, too. Here's their terse dismissal:

U.S. Supreme Court

Predictably, Baby Fingers threw a twitter tantwum: “The Supreme Court really let us down. No Wisdom, No Courage!” 

Paxton had nothing to lose politically by playing this dangerous gambit, as he is already under investigation by the FBI. But the 126 House Republicans? Here is who they are. Make them pay for their anti-democracy act in the next election. 

I've lost count of how many cases TЯUMP has lost in his quest to "win" – it's something like 50. The Washington Post reports that at least 86 judges at all levels and of all political persuasions have weighed in, nearly unanimously, to reject his attempts. He thought he was being clever to pack the courts during the last four years, including three Supreme Court justices. But we the people prevailed. We should be gratified that our checks and balances work. 

It ends tomorrow.

The Electoral College meets tomorrow, Monday December 14. End of the line for the MAGAt. And the end of the line for at least one of his cons. Maybe. A Republican group called "Republicans for the Rule of Law" has started airing ads warning people of the "legal fund" scam.

Follow-up. 

Remember Mellissa Carrone, who appeared in front of the Michigan state senate as a "witness" for Giuliani's attempt to contest the election there? Gossip column time! It turns out she is an interesting character. Apparently she is a "model/actress." Wow, what a portfolio of amazing modeling shots! She also has a criminal record. Questions abound about her performance in the Michigan state house. Was she acting? Was she paid? Was she drunk?

Shortly after her appearance, folks started comparing her to Cecily Strong's SNL character Girl You Wish You Hadn't Started a Conversation With. I wouldn't be surprised if Carrone didn't study SNL skits in preparation for her appearance as a witness. 

Coming full circle, Cecily took her on in last Saturday's episode:

COVID update.

It's bad out there. The surge isn't slowing. There has been record after record falling, in daily cases, in hospitalizations, in deaths. We've hit 3000 deaths per day in the U.S. It's almost too much to comprehend. We're losing more Americans each day than we did on 9/11 or in Pearl Harbor. We've surpassed the number of U.S. and allied military deaths during the nine years of Vietnam.

Rudy Giuliani was the latest from the Whitewash House superspread to test positive. This, after attending – maskless – dozens of hearings regarding the election fight. Arizona, smartly, decided to cancel its legislative session for a week after his many appearances with state lawmakers. Giuliani was hospitalized for a few days in Washington D.C. Lucky for the entitled jerk, he got "celebrity" treatment. He, like his boss, got medications not readily available to the average person. 

The Twitiot continues to refuse to acknowledge the surge or demonstrate an inkling of leadership or caring. Remember during the campaign he said, "'Covid, Covid, Covid, Covid.' By the way, on November 4, you won't hear about it anymore."  Looks like he was projecting again. He just doesn't care. 

The biggest, bestest news was that the vaccine is being shipped across the country today! The FDA issued an emergency use authorization for the Pfizer vaccine late last week. This week, they'll look at Moderna's data, and that vaccine is also likely to be authorized. There is light at the end of the tunnel. 

Wondering when you might get the vaccine? Check this tool from the New York Times. It's been estimated that everyone who wants a vaccine will get one by summer, 2021. It's going to be a brutal few months, though, at the pace we're on.

Please. Stay home. Mask up when you do go for essential errands. Stay 6 feet away and wash your hands frequently. Let's help each other get through this.

Calls for violence

We've moved from lawsuits to increased calls for violence this week. In the aftermath of the election, some election officials, both Democrat and Republican, were faced with threats of violence. The threats have escalated and expanded. They've moved from threatening secretaries of state to threatening low-level poll workers. For example, there was one 20-year-old contractor to Dominion Voting Systems in Georgia who was videoed transferring data, which was part of his normal humdrum duties. QAnon posted the video, laced it with conspiracy theories, and the worker was soon identified. Threats came rolling in, including a noose left at his home. 

Chris Krebs, head of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, who was fired for stating that the election was "the most secure in American history," was threatened by one of Hair Furor's own lawyers, saying Krebs should be "drawn and quartered" and "shot." WTAF.

Gabriel Sterling, Voting System Implementation Manager for Georgia's Secretary of State, responded to these and threats against Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger with an impassioned plea for the violence to stop, directing his comments straight to the president*. See below.

Here's a very good summary of the myriad threats in the New York Times. 

Can't stop the losing

There were several lingering lawsuits this week and more judges had scathing remarks in their dismissals. Some of them were 45's appointees, too. SCROTUS lost five times in a matter of hours on Friday, plus a another yesterday to add a little salt. Here's what conservative Judge Brian Hagedorn wrote for the Wisconsin state Supreme Court in their 3-member decision: “The relief being sought by the petitioners is the most dramatic invocation of judicial power I have ever seen. Judicial acquiescence to such entreaties built on so flimsy a foundation would do indelible damage to every future election. Once the door is opened to judicial invalidation of presidential election results, it will be awfully hard to close that door again. This is a dangerous path we are being asked to tread.” 

Here is a recap of this week's lawsuits from Politico.

*Shrug* ...just suspend the Constitution 

Twice-guilty Michael Flynn, freshly pardoned, suggested that the Mango Mussolini simply suspend the Constitution and impose martial law to get what he wants. Coup much, Mike? 

Odious. 

The Long Con

It's not the first time I've said this, but a major reason – if not the reason – 45 has been launching lawsuit upon lawsuit is not that he really wants to overturn the election, but that he really wants to pad his pockets on the way out the door. Since losing the election, he has raised 207 million dollars from his adoring fans. In his barrage of over 500 emailed pleas for money since the election, you had to squint to see the fine print that the money was not really going to his legal fund, but into his big fat wallet. 

The Washington Post reported that during the weeks leading up to the election, the president's* campaign spent over $1.1 million at Donny's properties.

He has said he'll run again in 2024, but I reckon that, too, is just part of his long con. 

Pay to Play

Speaking of cons, there's the stench of a pay-for-pardon scheme in Washington. Names have been redacted and no charges have been filed, but something fishy is going on. 

Side note regarding pardons: A judge has indicated that Flynn's pardon may have been too broad. This bodes interesting for the Orange Scourge's plans to pardon his children. He may have to specify the crimes they did in order to pardon them. I'd tune in to watch that!

Gone with the Wind?

With seven weeks to go, Attorney General Bill Barr must have decided that his job wasn't that great anyway. He publicly admitted that the DOJ found no evidence of fraud in any aspect of the presidential election. This is in direct contradiction to the wind that blows from the ass Barr's lips are usually fast adhered to. Be ready for a new AG to see out the last gasps of this administration.

Speaking of Wind....

Rudy Giuliani is still out there. He met with some Michigan officials in a hearing over the election, and mics picked up his rather loud toots. Yes they really happened. If you giggle at farts, here is the video:

....and yet another bag o' wind

Rudy brought along a "witness" to the election proceedings in Michigan, and, ...well, I'll let Stephen Colbert and his gang tell you all about it.

Straight to Voicemail

What a wonderfully apposite moment: Governor Doug Ducey (R) of Arizona was sitting at his desk with cameras a-rollin' when he got a cell phone call. Some months ago, he had bragged that he speaks to TЯUMP so often by phone that he customized the ringtone to play "Hail to the Chief" when his li'l buddy calls. Well, as he sat with pen in hand, ready to sign to certify Arizona's electors for Joseph R Biden, Jr, the faint sound of Hail to the Chief came from his breast pocket (video). Glancing dismissively, he silenced his phone, set it down, and fixed to sign the certification. Lovely moment. Just lovely. 

All states have now certified the election results, by the way. (Spoiler: Joe Biden won.)

Grand Ouroboros Party

Most delicious of all is that we finally get to witness the GOP self-destruct right before our eyes. The Drumpf team laid the groundwork beautifully for for their base to distrust the system. Repugs have been in lock-step with his insanity. All of this talk about rigged elections and not trusting mail-in ballots? Well, guess who is going to sit out the January Georgia Senate run-off election? Yup, the Repugs are handing over control of the Senate to the Democrats wrapped up with a pretty red bow. 

How? Firstly, a subset of right-wing Georgians (the deepest red MAGAts) want to destroy the Republican Party because the Republican leadership in Georgia (Republican Governor Brian Kemp and Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger) are not leaning on the scale and throwing the election the way that Ghengis Can't wants. So, his base wants to make the Republican Party pay for their outrageous behavior that allowed a free and fair election. "Boycott the election!"

Secondly, another subset of right-wing Georgians are just plain distrustful and feel that the election is already rigged for the Dems, so why bother voting at all? "Do not be fooled twice. This is Georgia, we ain't dumb. We ain't gonna go vote on Jan. 5 on another machine made by China," said pro-Trump attorney Lin Wood, who has no formal affiliation with Trump's campaign. "You're not gonna fool Georgians again." (From NPR)

The Democrats just have to sit back and enjoy the show. ...and enjoy a unified government, with control of both houses of Congress and the Presidency. It shall be a productive – and hopefully progressive – two years. 

(That being said, do not rest! Continue to work hard to support the Dem senate candidates in Georgia!)

The Sound of Silence

The COVID pandemic is raging. Worse-case scenario? It's here. And we haven't even seen the effects of Thanksgiving gatherings yet. And who is the silent-est of them all? BLOATUS, of course. Not a single tweet or word noting the escalation, the lives lost (now at a pace of over 2000 deaths per day), the dangers to come. Just rigged this, fraudulent that, blah blah blah. What a loser. 

Our True Leader

Biden is not waiting until January 20 to lead. He has real plans to combat COVID; he has asked Dr. Anthony Fauci to remain in his role in the new administration; he has stated that he will ask Americans to mask up for his first 100 days; he has urged Congress to act quickly to pass a relief bill. He continues to pick a wonderfully diverse group to help him lead. He has chosen an all-female communications team and will nominate Janet Yellen, the first woman to lead the Treasury Department. There's a lot of hope to be had. 

🎶 Fah who foraze! Dah who doraze!
