Anxiety surges as Donald Trump may be indicted soon: Why 2024 is 'the final battle' and 'the big one'

Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the 2024 election.

WASHINGTON – It looks like American politics is entering a new age of anxiety, triggered by an unprecedented legal development: The potential indictment of a former president and current presidential candidate.

Donald Trump's many legal problems – and calls for protests by his followers – have generated new fears of political violence and anxiety about the unknowable impact all this will have on the already-tense 2024 presidential election

I’ll reframe this is a more accurate way, Are Presidents above the law? This new age was spurred into existence when home grown dummies elected a corrupt, mentally ill, anti-democratic, would be dictator as President and don’t bother to hold him responsible for his crimes, don’t want to because in the ensuing mayhem and destruction, they think they will be better off. The man is actually advocating violence (not the first time). And btw, screw democracy too. If this feeling spreads, we are In deep shirt.

This goes beyond one treasonous Peice of work and out to all his minions. This is on you or should we be sympathetic to the idea of they can’t help being selfish suckers to the Nation’s detriment? Donald Trump is the single largest individual threat to our democracy and it‘s all going to boil down to will the majority of the GOP return to his embrace and start slinging his excrement to support him?

Pam Bondi Locks Bar Association Out Of Vetting Trump’s Judicial Nominees​

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday informed the American Bar Association that she is cutting off its access to nonpublic information about President Donald Trump’s judicial nominees because she thinks the nonpartisan organization is an “activist group.”
“Unfortunately, the ABA no longer functions as a fair arbiter of nominees’ qualifications, and its ratings invariably and demonstrably favor nominees put forth by Democratic administrations,” Bondi said in a letter to ABA president William Bay.

Barry Croft and Adam Fox, the men convicted of plotting to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in the summer of 2020, could be on a list for potential presidential pardons, according to the U.S. Department of Justice’s new pardon attorney.

The comments came from Ed Martin Jr., a conservative activist who had been nominated as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia before having his nomination withdrawn earlier this year. Martin is now a pardon attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice.

Appearing on a conservative podcast last week, Martin said that the administration of President Donald Trump “can’t leave” Croft and Fox “behind.”

Martin also called Croft and Fox “victims” and likened their cases to the criminal charges that were brought against the January 6 Capitol insurrectionists, the Associated Press reported. Trump pardoned more than 1,500 defendants charged in the Capitol attack on his first day back in office.

A message seeking comment from Whitmer’s office was not immediately returned.

Conservative activists and conspiracy theorists have long alluded to the plot against Whitmer as a federal government-led operation to entrap the participants, but numerous pieces of evidence shown in court detailed the breadth of Croft and Fox’s involvement in spearheading the plan and recruiting others to join in the plot – including eventually an informant working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Martin appears to be among those who viewed the prosecution of Croft and Fox as the weaponization of the federal government, a running theme in the Trump White House. Martin on the podcast vowed to take a hard look at their cases in his new role. Both Croft and Fox are serving nearly 20-year prison terms in a high security federal prison located in Colorado.........

According to this article Trump is done with the Federalist Society and their judges. He’s pissed that some of his appointees are striking down his illegal and unconstitutional EOs. He called Leonard Leo a “sleazebag”. He should know how to recognize a sleazebag since he sees one in the mirror every day.

Not so much

“During his first term in office, the ABA rated 264 of Trump's nominees; 187 were rated “well-qualified,” 67 were rated “qualified,” and 10 were rated “not qualified.”

Are you arguing that Trump isn’t carrying out a vendetta against the ABA?

I would say he’s certainly petty enough to hold it against the ABA that they rated 10 of his nominees not qualified.

That’s a pretty high number of nominees to get that designation, isn’t it? Compared to previous administrations?

Plus, how the bar went after so many of his pathetic loser lawyers. Trump wants far more of the unqualified judges.

Nobody wins with Trump in charge. Even the people who think they are winning are losing.

Obviously not. Simply pointing out the aba’s stats don’t support the claim “well yes they tried to kill the crap judges trump put in ”.

And there is this

“So it is all the more extraordinary that President Trump’s judicial appointments have earned the ABA’s “Well Qualified” rating at nearly the highest rate in five decades. Consider President Trump’s court-of-appeals appointments: The ABA has rated 77 percent of them “Well Qualified,” exceeding the 75 percent for the Clinton and Carter administrations, the 69 percent for the George W. Bush administration, the 62 percent for the George H.W. Bush administration, and the 57 percent for the Reagan administration. Only President Obama’s percentage was higher, at 80 percent. Otherwise, President Trump’s appointments to the courts of appeals have been rated “Well-Qualified” by the ABA at the highest rate of any president since at least Gerald Ford.

Similarly, President Trump’s district-court appointments have been rated historically well-qualified by the ABA — with nearly 66 percent receiving a “Well Qualified” rating. President Obama’s district-court nominees, by contrast, received that rating only 58.6 percent of the time. District-court judges appointed by Presidents Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Reagan, and Carter likewise lagged behind those appointed by President Trump.

Overall, a remarkable 68.8 percent of President Trump’s judicial appointees have earned the ABA’s “Well Qualified” rating. Since the Ford administration, only President George W. Bush exceeded that level, and even then only by less than 1 percent.”

One of the unqualified was moved up to appeals court and suddenly was well qualified according to the aba.

Obviously not. Simply pointing out the aba’s stats don’t support the claim “well yes they tried to kill the crap judges trump put in ”.

They did rate 10 nominees as unacceptable. I don’t think the claim was made that they tried to kill any certain percentage of nominees in that way. And I remember reading that 10 nominees is a really high number to earn that rating. Like it has never happened before.

Okay - I looked it up. Before Trump’s first term, the ABA had only ever rated 2 judicial nominees as unacceptable (since 1989). There were 10 in Trump’s first term.

I believe the ABA or someone affiliated with them made some public comments about the quality of Trump’s nominees. So 2 things seem clear.

1. Trump is trying to get even with the ABA.
2. Trump’s judicial nominees were pretty crappy as a whole when compared to previous nominees from both Democratic and Republican administrations.
