If Thyagaraj Markandan had considered why it is that many top legal scholars have dismissed the cases brought against Trump as baseless and that 75 million Americans shared that view on November 5, he might have understood the question he poses – how unjust can the law be? (The Mercury, January 14).
Yet he clearly revels in regurgitating the label Biden’s corrupt Department of Justice succeeded in manufacturing, namely, that Trump is “a convicted felon.” Like the wilfully prejudiced opinion purveyors of the mass media, Markandan loyally fails to see that the lawfare against Trump had nothing to do with justice. It was a political strategy hatched at the highest levels to disparage and deter him from seeking re-election.
The baselessness of the four cases against him has been unpacked before in these columns. But it is worth pointing out how Trump’s detractors sought to wring maximum public outrage from the statute of limitations-expired hush-money case. The figure of 34 felony charges was arrived at by adding up the repeated monthly ledger entries of the single sum owing. In so doing the baseless charge was criminally amplified thereby misleading and agitating millions like Markandan.
The political subversion of the US judiciary by Soros-funded lawyers, District Attorneys like Alvin Bragg, A-Gs like Letitia James and judges like Juan Merchan, are going to be exposed and made subject to accountability by the Trump Administration.
It will be interesting to see whether Markandan, like Meta’s Mark Zuckerberg, performs a 180-degree turn on his perception of the US political landscape.
