Schiff: ‘If you didn’t want to be tried in New York, don’t commit crimes in New York’

 Schiff: ‘If you didn’t want to be tried in New York, don’t commit crimes in New York’
by Lauren Sforza - 06/02/24 10:21 AM ET

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) pushed back on former President Trump’s and his allies’ claims that the hush money trial was politically motivated and slanted against the former president.

Schiff responded to Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chair Lara Trump’s appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” where she criticized the prosecutors for bringing the hush money case against the former president and the judge overseeing the case. Trump was found guilty by a jury in New York last week on 34 counts of falsifying business records.

“Well, first, in terms of Lara Trump’s interview, and her complaining about the case being tried in New York before New York jury, if you don’t want to be tried in front of a New York jury, then maybe don’t commit somebody so many crimes in New York City. It’s pretty simple,” he said.

Schiff reiterated that Trump’s case, including jury selection, was conducted the same way as any other case.

“And that jury was selected in part by Donald Trump and his attorneys. They vetted each of the jurors. He had every right that every other criminal defendant has in that courtroom. And they found — this ordinary jury of peers found him guilty on every single count,” Schiff said.

“So if you don’t want to be tried in New York, don’t commit crimes in New York. But he got the same due process as any other person and that’s exactly the way it should be,” he added.

Did Schiff identify what the actual crime was?

He's probably scouring the city now, looking for matresses without tags.

“Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.”

Amazing isn't how literary  dystopia is coming more and more true.

Here's another, that may be 500 years early....

Michael Jackson paid 30 million dollars to be innocent, and the democrats had no problem with that.  President Trump was far less money, and the democrats found a corrupt judge to hold a public lynching.  Little wonder the democrats wanted to destroy the Constitution to get their third word one government rule.

The fools of last President election and blind fools are destroying America and everything it mas stood for.  They new just what they were doing.  Fools and damn fools WENT ALONG, ALL TOO WILLINGLY.

I'll do one up. I will have nothing to do with New York. No business, definitely not setting foot across the line, no commerce as much as I can avoid it. Sod off, you commies!

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Investors and businesses will probably avoid NYC but more because of the protection of their  self interest versus any kind of solidarity with Donald Trump

They just don’t wanna be next

He’ll get around to identifying that after he gets around to showing “proof” he claimed he had but has failed to produce that Trump colluded with Russia to win 2016

Of course.  Something about a pee tape, right?
