The headline in The Atlantic learn this manner: “The DOJ Should Prosecute Trump.”
The authors, Institution attorneys every person, need Trump criminally prosecuted due to the “proof” introduced by the nakedly partisan, Democrat-run January 6 Committee.
That is the favored theme in right this moment’s media, a guessing sport of will-he-or-will-he-not be prosecuted.
However there may be infinitely extra occurring right here than simply the January 6 Trump story.
CNN pushes one other Trump story headlined: “New York AG’s investigation towards Trump can proceed, federal decide guidelines.”
The thought right here is that Trump’s non-public enterprise needs to be investigated for alleged violations of New York legislation.
However neglect Trump.
In November the Biden Justice Division introduced it was indicting conservative media’s Steve Bannon, a former Trump aide, for contempt of Congress. NBC bannered the information this manner:
Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon indicted by federal grand jury for contempt of Congress
After all one will get indicted if one has been held in Contempt of Congress — proper? The media is all for that.
Mistaken.
Right here’s this headline in The Guardian from again there within the stone age of the Obama administration, June 2012.
Eric Holder held in contempt of Congress after historic vote
Lawyer normal first sitting cupboard member to be held in contempt as 17 Democrats be part of Republicans to go decision
In actual fact, Eric Holder, like Steve Bannon, was held in contempt of Congress. Not like Steve Bannon he was not indicted by the Division of Justice as a result of, properly, Eric Holder was the sitting Lawyer Normal – he ran the DOJ.
Was there an outcry within the media about that? After all not – as a result of Holder was one of many media’s favourite guys – a Democrat. And an Obama Democrat at that.
I may go on and on and on. However simply with these examples it’s crystal clear that the American Left, aided and abetted by their mates within the media, are intent on criminalizing American politics — if you’re a conservative or Republican.
In case you are a type of, woe betide your remedy within the media. They’ll run so many tales on the market saying try to be prosecuted for X that even your grandmother would come to consider you might be responsible of at the very least one thing.
However as that notorious incident with Twitter and the liberal media burying the October 2020 New York Put up story about Hunter Biden’s laptop computer vividly illustrated, within the drive to criminalize American politics one facet solely is to be prosecuted, the opposite facet protected. And the liberals within the media know which is which.
This particular punishment of bodily jail time has lengthy since expanded to social media. One conservative after one other has confronted social media jail for essentially the most mundane of conservative postings, whereas the American Left — to not point out America’s enemies – are allowed to say and submit kind of something they need.
However it all comes right down to the identical factor. The media, appearing as an ally for the Left, is busy shopping for into the notion that American politics needs to be criminalized — however solely if you’re a conservative.
To say that is harmful is to say the apparent.
However will it cease?
After all not.
As The Atlantic and its drive to prosecute Trump clearly exhibits.
