Is This The Best We've Got?

 I try to stay out of politics on this blog, but there are just times when something has to be said.  I look at the evidence piling up on Donald Trump, and say to myself, "How much evidence do you have to have against someone to indict?"  Obviously a lot!

The number of lawsuits underway is huge, but the criminal and civil investigations into his behavior as president and his financial antics is bigger.  Here is just a smattering of investigations he and his friends are facing:  Attack on the U.S. Capitol-  Did he break the law in trying to overturn the 2020 election?  Did he commit seditious conspiracy?  Wire fraud- Trump raised $250 million from supporters to advance fraudulent claims that he won the election, but steered much of the money elsewhere. Georgia election tampering- Did he try to get the Secretary of State in Georgia to find enough votes to declare him the winner?  The answer is clear, he asked him to do that.  New York criminal inquiry-  did his family's real estate company misrepresent the value of properties to get favorable bank loans and lower tax bills?  Yes, they did.  New York attorney general civil inquiry- a civil investigation into the above matter is also under investigation.  Removal of Documents- Did Trump take government records, some personal, others confidential, secret and top secret nuclear secrets to his home in Florida?  Yes, he did.  This, in itself is a crime, but asked to return all the documents, he still kept hundreds of documents that under no situation, belong to him.

There are literally hundred of lawsuits against him, from improper sexual behavior, to defamation, and much more.  So I ask you, is this the best we've got to represent our country?  If if it, we're in more trouble than I thought.  Democrat or Republican, do we want people in office who are trying to bring down the country?  Who are doing everything to enrich themselves?  Trump has always weaseled his way out of trouble in the past, but he may have dug a hole too deep this time, that even he can't escape.  I hope so.

Oh, and by the way, if you or I did any ONE of these things, we would be behind bars for a very long time.  So much for equal justice under the law.
