If they really believed that an indictment would propel him to victory, wouldn&#8217;t they be rooting for the Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg (and the New York Attorney General Leticia James, and the Georgia D.A. Fani Willis, and special counsel Jack Smith) to bring on their prosecutions? Trump himself is consumed by fear, as exhibited in the flurry of frantic posts on <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56533\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">his floundering Twitter ripoff, Truth Social<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56541\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Desperate and Dystopian Delirium of Donald Trump as He Descends Into Drooling Dementia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Naturally, Fox News is joining the crusade to absolve Trump of any responsibility for his abhorrent crime spree. And leading the pack is, as usual, Tucker Carlson. In a tedious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56557\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">harangue<\/a> on Monday night&#8217;s tele-sermon <em>(video below)<\/em>, Carlson unleashed his typically rage-fueled brand of conservative crackpottery. The subject was reporting that Trump might be indicted soon by the Manhattan District Attorney for violating financial and campaign laws, Carlson complained that Trump was &#8211; as always &#8211; a victim of the all-powerful Democratic cabal that had stolen the election in 2020, and now is determined to &#8211; as the Trumpists say &#8211; <em>&#8220;LOCK HIM UP!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56557\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump Can\u2019t Imagine the NYPD Defending the City If His Indictment Triggers Riots By His Followers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Carlson&#8217;s interminably long tirade rambled aimlessly, flinging baseless and childish insults at Bragg as being funded by George Soros and looking like Al Sharpton (because to racists like Carlson, <em>&#8220;they&#8221;<\/em> all look alike). He dismissed the notion that Trump&#8217;s <em>&#8220;hush money&#8221;<\/em> payoff to adult film star, Stormy Daniels, and the subsequent cover up and obstruction of justice, was a crime at all. According to Carlson, <em>&#8220;paying people not to talk about things, hush money, is ordinary in modern America.&#8221;<\/em> And it&#8217;s hard to criticize him for that opinion considering that he got his current show on Fox News when his predecessor, Bill O&#8217;Reilly, was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=33536\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fired for sexual harassment, for which he and Fox paid out millions to sweep under the rug<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In summary, Carlson concluded that indicting Trump would result in the end of democracy. That&#8217;s not an exaggeration of his remarks. That&#8217;s precisely what he said&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If the Democratic Party is allowed to do this, allowed to crush the presidential front-runner, the main threat to their power, with a bogus criminal case, where does that leave us? We&#8217;re done because that precedent will live forever and voters will never again determine the outcome of a presidential election. It&#8217;s remarkable when you think about it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tucker Carlson is now saying that if Trump is indicted, &quot;voters will never again determine the outcome of a presidential election&quot;: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MWR0c9grGc\">pic.twitter.com\/MWR0c9grGc<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Kat Abu (@abughazalehkat) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/abughazalehkat\/status\/1637972343950569472?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 21, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s remarkable is that Carlson can pretend that he was thinking when he came up with that. First of all, an indictment of Trump would not be done by the Democratic Party. It would be done by a Grand Jury of local citizens and an elected D.A. Secondly, Carlson&#8217;s characterization of this as <em>&#8220;a bogus Criminal Case,&#8221;<\/em> is purely his biased, dishonest, and ill-informed opinion. And finally, there is no logical path from indicting a criminal like Trump, to the assertion that elections are gone forever. It makes about as much sense as saying that if you wear a hat, your dog will stop talking to you.<\/p>\n<p>Carlson is being especially worshipful of Trump these days as penitence for his recently discovered sacrilege. Internal communications released by Dominion Voting Systems in the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=48869\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">billion dollar defamation lawsuit against Fox News<\/a><\/strong> reveal that Carlson told his Fox colleagues that he <em>&#8220;hates [Trump] passionately.&#8221;<\/em> And in the rarified world of Trumpism, that could not be allowed without Carlson being forced to atone. So you end up with nonsense like this. But sadly, no amount of up-sucking will ever be sufficient for Trump.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56527\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">IT\u2019S A CULT: Most Fox News Viewers Are Still Loyal After Dominion Lawsuit Discloses Their Lies<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Be sure to visit and follow News Corpse<br \/>\non <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NewsCorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/newscorpse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/newsie.social\/@NewsCorpse\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mastodon<\/a>.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>And check out my books on Amazon:<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2aOYFpM\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox Nation vs. Reality:<br \/>\nThe Fox News Cult of Ignorance.<\/a><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Thanks so much for your support.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pandering politicians and pundits propping up Donald Trump are storming the media with mendacious defenses of his criminal misconduct.
