2024 Meddling: DOJ Indicts Trump Hours After Biden Bribery News
The Biden administration informed Donald Trump s lawyers that a grand jury had indicted the former president and he must surrender to a federal court in Miami on Tuesday. Trump took to Truth Social late Thursday to announce the indictment, proclaiming his innocence and calling it a dark day in America.
The news of the indictment quickly suffocated coverage of a confidential human source s claim that the Ukrainian founder of Burisma had paid a $5 million bribe to Joe Biden. While the shift in coverage is unfortunate because the legacy media had finally begun to cover the Biden pay-to-pay scandal, the timing provides for the perfect juxtaposition of the federal government s handling of the two cases and the media s coverage of both stories. It also proves what Trump said in his social media thread: We are a country in serious and rapid decline.
A country cannot survive two standards of justice meted out based on the political preferences of the prosecutors. Yet that is precisely what Americans are witnessing.
I agree with the serious and rapid decline comment of President Trump, though he is himself a symptom of it. As is Biden, of course, and VP Harris. And innumerable members of Congress, and more federal judges than I would prefer. We seem to be turning into Brazil, politically speaking, and that’s not good.
