If GOP had real leadership, we’d be rallying round Trump, first, and always. Every Republican candidate considering a run for President and those who have declared, ought to drop out. The time is now.

Trump at Bay: A Somber Moment for America
If the reporting leading up to this indictment is borne out, this could turn out to be a case not of the former president being above the law, but below the law.
By The NY Sun, March 30, 2023:
The reported indictment of President Trump by a grand jury at New York county is a somber moment — not so much for the country’s former leader, who has been putting up a brave face, but for all Americans who place a premium on due process and hew to constitutional principle. We carry no brief for the former president, but the investigations of him during his post-presidency have reminded us of nothing so much as Lavrentiy Beria.
Beria was the chief of Stalin’s secret police who quipped, “Show me the man, and I’ll find you the crime.” Not long after Stalin’s show trials and purges, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s attorney general, Robert Jackson, in a speech to federal prosecutors, warned of that kind of thinking, marking the “dangerous power” of “picking the man and then searching the law books, or putting investigators to work, to pin some offense on him.”
That is precisely what appears to have taken place here. We don’t yet know the precise charges, as the indictment has yet to be unsealed. We do know that it would be difficult even for Snow White to have weathered the kind of investigations of Mr. Trump that were boasted of by Letitia James, even before she got elected Attorney General of New York, and by District Attorney Alvin Bragg and members of his own camarilla.
If the reporting leading up to this indictment is borne out, this could turn out to be a case not of the former president being above the law, but below the law. The charge that is widely bruited as being at the center of the case is a misdemeanor breach of campaign finance laws. It could be beyond the statute of limitations. So, the press has been reporting, Mr. Bragg has sought to use a technical point to transmute the charge into a felony.
Either way it’s impossible to imagine this kind of prosecutorial pretzel-making in order to snare some poor schlepper who wasn’t so reviled as Mr. Trump is to the voting base of Ms. James and Mr. Bragg. When Mr. Bragg was a candidate, he helped secure the Democratic nomination by boasting to primary voters that he had “sued Mr. Trump’s administration,” the New York Times reported, “more than a hundred times.”
In 2020, CBS News reports, Mr. Bragg stressed the “staggering” number of cases that were “swirling” around President Trump and noted that “a matter involving Trump’s former ‘fixer,’ Michael Cohen, stood out.” Mr. Bragg opined that “presumably, the evidence is there,” though he vowed not to “prejudge” the case. Yet “if they’ve already said it in a charging instrument,” he added, “I presume it could be, you know, accurate and charge ready.”
As reports began circulating that Mr. Bragg would likely seek an indictment, the Wall Street Journal — which is no apologist for Mr. Trump and has been prepared to criticize him severely when warranted — issued an editorial saying “It’s impossible to overstate Mr. Bragg’s bad judgment here.” The Journal noted the folly of “resurrecting a seven-year-old case that even federal prosecutors refused to bring to court.”
We don’t mind saying that as the months dragged on, we held out some hope that Mr. Bragg might use his prosecutorial discretion to make a priority of attacking violent crime in New York. He was said to have been a moderate and a peacemaker when he was a student at Harvard. We’re not suggesting he’ll lose the case. In New York County 85 percent of voters in 2020 cast ballots against Mr. Trump. It’s going to be some voir dire.

That indictment of Donald Trump by those vicious malice-milled leftists in power isn’t really “; legal prosecution” but political persecution.
Those vicious leftist/socialists along with their comrades of the Red/Green alliance have now come after Donald Trump with all their hate-filled malice, it’s only a matter of time before they will later come after all Conservative patriotic Americans.

They want us to think President Trump is the criminal. Remember, President Trump is in their way.
WE THE PEOPLE are the criminals in their eyes. We defied their rule when we were born.
When we’re bloody enough we’ll know what to do.

The Day America Became Russia ━ The European Conservative
By Sven R. Larson
Lengthy but well worth the read. Summary of the article:
Consider what a totalitarian state looks like: its foremost character trait is the absolute concentration of power in as few hands as possible. Government powers are concentrated, not divided as in the American constitutional republic, which divides three branches of government. By politically corrupting the judiciary, totalitarians—whoever they are—can subjugate the judiciary.
The forces that politicize the judicial system do so in order to make it serve the interests of the legislative and executive branches.
This is where America is today. She may not take further steps into the dark dungeons of authoritarianism. The Trump indictment is only the beginning of the totalitarian transformation of America. The next step will be to concentrate more power to the president, at the expense of the legislature. Just like the Venezuelan parliament has been demoted almost into oblivion, the Russian Duma has been legally and politically neutered.
America has not yet taken that step. But unless a radical course change happens, that is where she is headed.

CALL FOR ACTION:
President Trump represents an existential threat to the global Authoritarian Machine that, until 2016, believed our country’s downfall was a fait accompli.
Any leader who doesn’t speak out against the clear injustice of his political persecution is complicit.
The first action we can all take is a full and complete polling of ALL Republican and conservative leaders requiring them to condemn, not just disapprove, the prosecution of President Trump. Any who in any manner waffles, such as making the statement “no one is above the law,” must be removed from office. I mean on all levels. First they should be asked to resign. If they refuse, then whatever is the shortest means to their renewal must be taken. There can be no delay. There can be no waffling. All candidates for the Republican nomination must drop out and declare heir unconditional support for Trump. The Rubicon has been crossed. There can be NO return. Standing firmly for Trump must be the litmus test for all Republicans and conservatives who hold or intend to hold any office whatsoever whether federal, state or local. This support should also be extended to any organization that you support, charitable, community, or religious. This MUST be the test for all. Those who support this prosecution ARE COMPLICIT and have NO place in our Republic.

So Trump’s attorneys have various gentleman’s agreements in place with Bragg and his Banana Republic Manhattan D.A.’s Office, about the protocol, handcuffed or not handcuffed, etc., for the booking procedure…
How can you have a gentleman’s agreement with a thug?
I’ll be surprised if they don’t rough him up.
Then all bets are off.

Donald Trump being indicted by that leftist politically correct “grand jury” is nothing but vicious political persecution.
What else can any informed person expect from a left-wing jury that isn’t really “grand” at all.
This indictment is an absurd, unjust unfair biased case of malicious of political harassment of Mr. Trump and his family.
Shame on that “grand jury.”
