Don Ewing: All future elections will be between convicted felons

To The Daily Sun,

New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s indictment and trial of President Donald Trump is a perfect example of a Soviet-style show trial.

Trump was targeted because he threatens Democrats’ political power.

Since Trump didn’t commit any obvious crimes, Democrats indicted Trump for things never charged against anyone else, based on unique, never-intended interpretations of laws.

Judge Juan Merchan was deliberately, not randomly, picked to ensure a guilty verdict. Based on New York rules Judge Merchan should have recused himself because of his multiple conflicts of interests.

Judge Merchan put both his feet on the scale of justice to compel a conviction, including: seating a biased jury, allowing the prosecution to not reveal the charges against Trump, hindering defense preparation time, hindering defense witness testimony, excluding relevant defense witnesses, allowing a prosecution witness with no relevant but only slanderous testimony, allowing the prosecution to present testimony from a convicted perjurer who again perjured himself on the stand and admitted to stealing from Trump (a worse crime than Trump was charged with), providing jury instructions that allowed conviction without unanimity, and allowing all Trump’s opponents to publicly accuse him while putting a gag order on Trump and preventing him from responding to false accusations and slanders.

Democrats are trying to do to Trump what they successfully did to destroy the political futures of Sen. Ted Stevens, Gov. Bob McDonnell, and Sen. John Edwards who were all ultimately determined to be innocent. Trump’s conviction will be reversed ... but probably after the November election, after they hope the damage is done.

If Democrats get away with misusing the justice system to defeat Trump, all future elections will be between convicted felons. Both parties will have to get phony convictions against their opponents.
