New York “justice” is now indistinguishable from the corrupt backwoods and hick justice in flyover country that New York sophisticates have mocked and condemned for decades. From Jonathan Turley at jonathanturley.org:
In 1976, Saul Steinburg’s hilarious “View of the World from 9th Avenue” was published on the cover of the New Yorker. The map showed Manhattan occupying most of the known world with wilderness on the other side of the Hudson River between New York and San Francisco. The cartoon captured the distorted view New Yorkers have of the rest of the country.
Roughly 50 years later, the image has flipped for many. With the Trump trial, Manhattan has become a type of legal wilderness where prosecutors use the legal system to hunt down political rivals and thrill their own supporters. New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) ran on a pledge to bag former president Donald Trump. (She also sought to dissolve the National Rifle Association.)
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg also pledged to get Trump. Neither specified how they would do it, but both were elected and both were lionized for bringing controversial cases against Trump.
Just beyond the Hudson River, the response to these cases has been far less positive. James secured an obscene civil penalty of almost half a billion dollars without having to show there was a single victim or dollar lost from alleged overvaluation of assets.
Dayam what a wicked punch by JT. (H/T)
Comrade Lefty is too dense to comprehend that he has become what it railed against for years.
They do call it the “empire” [evil] state.
Uncanny some NYC horseshit on das teevee.
Massive data overload is relaxing to me.
