Republicans have preemptively declared Donald Trump innocent without hearing evidence, showing his grip on the party remains firm.
— yes, the same Mike Pence whom Trump set a mob onto on January 6 — called the indictment a “political prosecution.”— the same DeSantis who is supposedly the leading rival to Trump’s presidential candidacy, and who has been subjected to relentless attacks from the former president since November — went so far as to say that Florida wouldn’t cooperate with a request from New York to extradite Trump if the ex-president decided not to surrender himself to face charges.
What makes this political theater — for that is what it is — so shameless is that none of these Republicans have seen the indictment. As of now, they have no idea of the strength or weakness of the prosecution’s arguments; they have no idea what witnesses told the grand jury; they have no idea what sort of paper trail Bragg’s office has. Their assertion that it is a political prosecution is absurdly illogical.
Such a hermetically sealed argument allows for no circumstance in which it would be legitimate to prosecute Trump, and hence would be a realization ofSuch arguments set the U.S. on a dangerous trajectory, and not just because they essentially promote presidents to absolute monarchs.
As with so many other issues in the Trump era, the GOP is projecting onto Bragg what it appears that they themselves are readying to do: inaugurating an era of endless political prosecutions, and in so doing further corroding the democracy that Trump has so effectively trashed these past eight years..
