Why do the rules, the laws, and the Constitution apply differently to Donald Trump? Here's why. - Glenn Kirschner [View all]

There can be no reasonable dispute but that the institutions of government - particularly the Department of Justice - apply the rules, the laws, and the Constitution differently to Donald Trump than to the rest of us. And we are forever asking ourselves . . . why?

I try to take on that question by drawing from my decades of experience at the Department of Justice. - Glenn Kirschner - 03/27/2024.

Very good analysis by Kirschner. Irish_Dem Mar 27 #1

Especially for TFG. He should have been "detained" long ago to prevent further attacks and incitement Rhiannon12866 Mar 27 #3

Yes the criminal justice system has been a major disappointment. Irish_Dem Mar 27 #5

And the judges are the main ones he's attacking - and their families! - no matter what they do... Rhiannon12866 Mar 27 #6

Two judges did put Trump on a gag order after he attacked Irish_Dem Mar 27 #7

Glenn did not want to believe that all along bucolic_frolic Mar 27 #2

I agree, he had hope that the rule of law would prevail. Rhiannon12866 Mar 27 #4

Here it is folk, the gist of his entire speech... FakeNoose Mar 27 #8

So if the Supremes decide that the prez is above the law, Biden could throw tRump in jail with no consequence, yes? mitch96 Mar 27 #9

Apparently so. Isn't that how it's been defined?? Rhiannon12866 Mar 27 #10
