From the outset of his reoccupation of the White House, Trump has embarked on mission of malevolence aimed at all manner of civil servants, but especially the judiciary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=65628\" target=\"_blank\">Trump is on a Crusade to Intimidate and Impeach Judges Who Dare to Rule Against Dear Leader<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Friday morning there was a chilling example of this malignant behavior in a report that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msnbc.com\/rachel-maddow-show\/maddowblog\/fbi-arrests-judge-wisconsin-ag-pam-bondi-directs-new-threats-judiciary-rcna203061\" target=\"_blank\">Trump&#8217;s FBI had arrested a sitting judge<\/a><\/strong> in Wisconsin on charges of obstructing justice by allegedly helping an illegal immigrant evade arrest. The charge is a typically specious exercise in the fascistic philosophy that permeates everything that Trump and his cronies are doing.<\/p>\n<p>True to form, whenever there is a crisis connected to the Trump regime, he dispatches his subordinates to Fox News. Many of them spend more time on Fox than they do in their offices doing their jobs. That may actually be a blessing in disguise. In this case, it was Attorney Genuflect, Pam Bondi, who took her place on the Fox News pedestal to deliver her propaganda pitch to Fox hosts John Roberts and Sandra Smith. She began by insulting the whole of the judicial system&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Bondi:<\/strong> What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me.<br \/>\n<strong>Smith:<\/strong> When the American public hears this and they think these were once outstanding people in their communities, and their professions, and they put it on the line for this. Have you dug into their motive? What inspired them to carry out these acts and harbor criminals?<br \/>\n<strong>Bondi:<\/strong> They\u2019re deranged is all I can think of. I cannot believe\u2026 I think that some of these judges think they are beyond and above the law. And they are not. And we\u2019re sending a very strong message today, if you are harboring a fugitive, we don&#8217;t care who you are. If you\u2019re helping hide one, if you\u2019re giving a TdA [Tren de Aragua gang] member guns, anyone who is illegally in this country, we will come after you and prosecute you.

It is a childish insult that reveals Bondi&#8217;s legal ineptitude. She also throws in an extraneous reference to someone giving guns to gang members, which no one has even hinted at.

How do you respond to that?<br \/>\n<strong>Bondi:<\/strong> No one is above the law. No one is above the law in this country. And if you are destroying evidence, if you are obstructing justice, if you have victims sitting a courtroom of domestic violence, and you&#8217;re escorting a criminal defendant out a back door, it will not be tolerated.

Although Fox News need not worry about that because they don&#8217;t employ any credible journalists.<\/p>\n<p>Bondi&#8217;s clinging to the notion that <em>&#8220;no one is above the law&#8221;<\/em> is hypocritical in the extreme. Her boss, Trump, has literally been adjudicated to be above the law by the right-wing members of the Supreme Court who ruled that he has immunity for official acts, which they seem to define as anything that he says is official.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Trump has 34 pending felony convictions for which he has not been sentenced. There are 54 more felony charges for which he has not been tried. And he continues to rack up more criminal acts, such his shuttering independent government agencies over which he has no jurisdiction. And his firing of thousands of employees without complying with the legal prerequisites to do so. And his deportations of people without providing the due process that the law demands. And his refusing to obey federal court orders and injunctions.<\/p>\n<p>But other than that, no one is above the law. Well, except for all the MAGA politicians who break the law with impunity. And all of Trump&#8217;s oligarch pals who get away with flagrant financial crimes. And about 1,500 violent insurrections who stormed the Capitol in an attempt to undermine democracy, and put 140 police officers in the hospital, who all got presidential pardons.
