While America Slept Part Two

WHILE AMERICA SLEPT PART TWO

The Wrongdoing Collusion is Wider and Deeper

In the eight previous newsletters on the illicit DA Bragg prosecution of Donald Trump in the Stephanie Clifford/Stormy Daniels criminal case (characterized as the hush-money case), it was made more than abundantly clear of the following things: that Bragg, with the help of:

·       former Lead Prosecutor Mark Pomerantz

·       his own attorneys,

·       the state bar association

·       Law Professor Jonathan Turley (among so many others)

destroyed Trump’s constitutional and inalienable legal right to be presumed innocent before he even got to trial in the upcoming jury trial in which Trump was convicted of 34 felony counts for business record fraud. This means, in common sense terms, that New York DA Alvin Bragg was required to treat the suspect and then defendant Donald Trump as innocent until the jury of 12 persons found him guilty or innocent. (The eight newsletters are synthesized in the last one entitled: “While America Slept.” It is here: https://therunnymedereport.substack.com/p/while-america-slept?r=3tdx2w)

In doing so, these collaborators laid waste the extrajudicial Rules of Professional Conduct that governs all lawyers. (See rule 3.6(a) and 3.8(f) of these rules in this link https://www.americanbar.org/groups/professional_responsibility/publications/model_rules_of_professional_conduct/model_rules_of_professional_conduct_table_of_contents/)

This destruction was accomplished through DA Bragg and former Lead Prosecutor Mark Pomerantz character assassinating Trump with opinions of guilt against him before his jury trial in extrajudicial publicity in the New York Times, CNN and in a book-listed 304 page tell-all book. And it could not have happened without the implied, professional misconduct support of Trump’s four lawyers and the turning of the blind eye of the state bar association and George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley (among so many others)

This newsletter focuses upon Law Professor Jonathan Turley, a second time. (See the above link to “While America Slept” that focuses on him the first time)

This, by no means, is to say that Law Professor Turley is alone in this evaluation. Indeed, the entire community of law professors, state bar association and judges across the United States are just as guilty as Turley. It’s just that Turley provides a clear window into how this corruption is carried out.

Law Professor Jonathan Turley Shows How it is Done

If there ever was a way to prevent the American people from knowing what DA Bragg did in this criminal case, all one need do is look to Law Professor Turley for the answer. In a news article from his “Res ipsa loquitur-The thing itself speaks column,” dated June 1, 2024, entitled: “The Ghost of John Adams: How the Trump Trial Hearkens Back to a Dark Period of American Law,” Law Professor Turley decries that the trial was a political prosecution. In his own words, “The Manhattan case, in my view, was a raw political use of the criminal justice system.”

Drilling Down on What Happened

In the article, Turley noted irregularities in the trial. Here is his list:

          “So Trump was convicted in a trial with a Biden donor judge, who has a

daughter who is a major democratic operative, a lead prosecutor

             previously paid as a DNC political consultant and a jury selected in

             a district that voted roughly 90% against Trump.”

He added that “the charges were based on a dead misdemeanor barred with the passage of the statute of limitations.” He then concluded that, “the trial itself was a travesty.”

Remarkably, in reaching this trial finding, Law Professor Turley turns a blind eye to the most foundational of all American legal doctrines: that an accused defendant is constitutionally and legally required to be presumed innocent so that he can receive an impartial trial under the fifth and sixth amendments of the Constitution of the United States of America. In turning such a blind eye, Professor Turley disregarded the fact that American law has undergirded this doctrine through the rules of professional conduct that governs all lawyers.

Indeed, wrecking this presumption through extrajudicial publicity has been defined by those rules as disbarrable professional misconduct.

What this means is that, in focusing on the trial irregularities, Law Professor Turley ignored the professional misconduct publications in the New York Times, CNN and the tell-all book that removed Trump’s presumption of innocence before he even had a jury trial. Notably, Law Professor Turley’s master stroke was in the fact that even though the “trial itself was a travesty,” he cites nothing that would make anyone accountable in this “travesty.” Yet, where there were clear license revocation penalties for this cast of characters in the extrajudicial publicity scheme, Law Professor Turley looked the other way.

Not lost in this equation is the fact that Law Professor Turley is a constitutional law expert as he turned a blind eye to the most sacred of constitutional protections in the constitutional and legal right of the defendant to be presumed innocent. Again, this means, in common sense terms, that Law Professor Turley turned a blind eye to the fact that the prosecutor is required to treat the suspect and then defendant as innocent until a jury of twelve persons finds him guilty or innocent. This cannot happen if the prosecutor leverages the news media to find him guilty before he even gets to trial.

Is Turley rewarded for this clear abuse? Yes. He is now reaping the rewards of his new book entitled: The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage” as he removes this other indispensable constitutional right.
