Donald J Trump believes that Justice should serve him and his purposes. Justice is out to get him because he has done nothing wrong except lie, cheat, use bankruptcy to avoid payments and stiff his contractors, The he created a phony Trump Foundation, and create Trump University to take peoples money. His involvement with the Russians is real.(#FREE PENTHOUSE: I-X, “The Betrayal of America,” papers that demonstrate his involvement and the characters involved.). https://freepenthouse.blogspot.com/
Here is a quick synopsis of Donald Trump since 2016.
Donald Trump attacked the federal judge presiding over fraud lawsuits against Trump University. Donald Trump wanted U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel, to be disqualified saying the Indiana-born judge is biased against him because "He's a Mexican. We're building a wall between here and Mexico.” Trump later portrayed the judge as "a hater of Donald Trump, a hater. He's a hater." And "they ought to look into Judge Curiel.” Trump settled, begrudgingly, by repaying the litigants/students a total of $25,000,000. He committed a huge fraud, but he needed to win an election. Yet Donald J Trump showed his colors just as he had with the 2008 “Obama birther” disinformation he was spreading.
Georgia election interference.
The discourse mainly between Trump and Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s Republican secretary of state, with Trump allies including Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, and attorney Cleta Mitchell were also present, as was Ryan Germany, Raffensperger’s general counsel. Here are the main points: Trump sought to unconstitutionally change the election result.
Trump exhorted to Georgia Attorney General Raffensperger, “find 11,780 votes”.
Then Trump then tried to intimidate and threaten Raffensperger by lying and creating misinformation: “There’s no way I lost Georgia. There’s no way. We won by hundreds of thousands of votes.” He went on to suggest that Raffensperger could face a criminal investigation. “You know what they did and you’re not reporting it,” Trump said. “You know, that’s a criminal offense. And you know, you can’t let that happen. That’s a big risk to you and to Ryan [Germany], your lawyer. That’s a big risk.” Election tampering is a major crime. Yet Donald Trump wanted to win at any cost irregardless of any reality or consequences.
Joe Biden won Georgia. The result had been certified and recounted three times and the signatures verified twice. Biden’s electoral college victory would be ratified by Congress. Yet Donald J. Trump had been preparing for this moment, planning and up rising. This is now evident when in the first Biden-Trump debate he stated to the Proud Boys “Stand Back and stand by.”
Donald Trump declared he would “fight like hell” to hold on to the presidency.
Trump appealed to Republican lawmakers to reverse his election loss to Joe Biden when they convened to confirm the vote of the Electoral College. President Trump tried to pressure Vice President Mike Pence, to change the results for Trump, to count the electoral votes in his favor. Thus altering the people’s choice in this democracy.
Trump himself was whipping up crowds for a Wednesday rally near the White House. On the morning of January 6, 2021, Trump and exhorted the crowd to march to the Capitol, shouting “You must fight like hell, you must fight like hell to save this country.” This was his battle cry.

Ousting Acting Attorney General Rosen at Department of Justice.
Ex US president Donald Trump wanted to fire his Acting Attorney General in favor of another Justice Department lawyer who would have unconstitutionally supported Trump overturn the election results. —US Attorney General Rosen like US Attorney General Barr, iterated that there was no election fraud of any note or scale that then President Trump was claiming with the 2020 election. Apparently, Trump asked Rosen to influence the vote count in Georgia (and possibly other states.). However, Trump reversed course when senior officials vowed to resign en masse, according to a the New York Times report. The Department of Justice had prevailed. This does not excuse Donald J Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election. In my opinion A new article of impeachment should be added for this crime for perverting justice.
Trump and his attorneys tried 61 times through the court system and failed. Most cases were thrown out for “Insufficient evidence.” All cases did not warrant a review, except one in Wisconsin. Even the the US Supreme Court threw out Trump’s case.
Donald Trump must be convicted otherwise it would leave the door open to any would be autocrat or an autocratic dictatorship starting as early as 2024. —-The US Constitution could shredded by Donald J Trump or one of his disciples like Ted Cruz or Josh Hawley, (who in my opinion should be censored by Congress).
The US Constitution is but four pages of parchment, imperfect in its design, but a living instrument that shape this nation and our lives. The writers, like Benjamin Franklin knew that tis was a noble experiment, it provided room for amendments, like the US Bill of Rights. The US Constitution can be interpreted with its nuances, but always it has been the beating heart of the United Stats of America and has been a model of democracy imitated in throughout the world.
Donald may revive an autocratic oriented GOP, or more likely be the anchor of the new “Patriot Party. He will support a 2024 candidate (if not himself) for president. However, as a third party, I doubt that he will be able to pull in more than five (5%) of the popular vote. The Patriot Party will pull those votes away from conservative Republican Party members. (Donald Trump could still get on Parler, create websites, create videos appear on FOX NEWS or NEWSMAX and have them distributed by his followers on all social media.)
TO SENATOR MITCH MCCONNELL: Should YOU want YOUR SENATE legacy to be as a political statesman rather than a political obstructionist, YOU must denounce and convict Donald J Trump. YOU must boot Donald J Trump out of the Grand Old Party and prevent Donald J Trump from ever running for any office again. Take away Donald Trump’s power and authority to further damage the Republican Party. You are the captain of the Republican ship.
THE GOP IS STILL ABOVE WATER. The Trump Party, those Republicans that still support the “Big Lie” are also on trial. Trump supporting Republicans are losing corporate financial support as well as popular support. The GOP is not only divided, it is sinking ship. Trump is also facing SIX or more criminal trials on his taxes and other matters. The Trump Corporation is also facing several lawsuits. —perhaps even money laundering. The Trump Corporation is heavily in debt to the Russians. Trump will fall into further disfavor and Trump’s popularity will wane in future months. Why take the Republican Party down with the ship?
Senator Statesman McConnell: I urge you to be a principled statesman, a leader that future Republicans can respect. You do not want your GOP legacy to be that of a myopic captain, or a debate-deaf obstructionist. Save the INTEGRITY of this nation.
Do not let it be torn apart by the baseless rhetoric of a past president. (The Trump “election fraud” dialog and cost actions have already cost the American taxpayer about $519,000,000 by one estimate).
Senator Captain McConnell: Should the Real Republicans decide not to convict, you will be telling every voter in the USA and the world that the Republican Party is not to be trusted with the future welfare of this great nation. —The GOP ship of state is sunk.
The evidence is on television for the entire country (and the world) to witness and judge.
“It is high time we stopped thinking politically as Republicans and Democrats about elections and started thinking patriotically as Americans about national security based on individual freedom.”
Those words, spoken by Margaret Chase Smith, Republican senator from Maine, never mentioned Joseph McCarthy by name in 1950. It took a great deal of courage, principle and sense of integrity for this nation for her to speak. So I urge you to also act as a principled statesman to to save this nation and the Republican Party.
DONALD J. TRUMP MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS INSURRECTIONIST ACTIONS WHILE HE WAS IN OFFICE AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
I URGE EVERY SENATOR NOT TO FALL FOR DONALD TRUMP’S VERSION OF PERVERTED JUSTICE.
You may save Donald J. Trump from himself and an indefensible criminal prosecution requested by the Washington AG. Several Congressmen and Senators would be subpoenaed to testify as witnesses, (including Donald J. Trump to defend himself).
