'Now, with Trump's indictment on trumped-up charges imminent, it is quite clear that when the shoe is on the other foot, the leftists are very happy to chant, 'Lock him up,'' freddoso writes.
During the 2016 election cycle, one of the main sources of liberal rage was the possibility that Donald Trump would not accept the results of the 2016 election. Of course, most of those most prone to rage never accepted the 2016 result, precisely because Trump won. Nor did his opponent, Hillary Clinton, who instead spent her twilight years spreading conspiracy theories about a stolen election.
“And I’ll tell you what. I didn’t think I’d say this, but I’m going to say it, and I hate to say it. But if I win, I am going to instruct my Attorney General to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation, because there has never been so many lies, so much deception. There has never been anything like it, and we’re going to have a special prosecutor.” This was, of course, inappropriate. In free societies, the election winner does not lock up the loser.
But absent some vast trove of inculpatory evidence that no one knows about showing that this was more than a hush-money payment, this is a dud. There is nothing illegal about paying hush money over an affair — even if it is deeply sordid and a scathing indictment of Trump's personal character, it is still not a crime.
