Criminal indictments against Donald Trump are 'political persecution,' Utah GOP leaders say

[RandySF]

The governing body of the Utah Republican Party overwhelmingly passed a resolution on Saturday that calls the four criminal indictments and 91 felony charges against former President Donald Trump “political persecution.”

The resolution, which was overwhelmingly passed by the Utah GOP’s State Central Committee on Saturday afternoon, condemns Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special counsel Jack Smith for “corruptly and unlawfully” targeting Trump. It also says the charges against Trump, which include paying hush money to an adult film actress and his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden, were “based on political grounds.”

“The Fifth Amendment guarantees citizens are innocent until proven guilty, and Donald J. Trump has been innocent of any and all crimes he’s been accused of,” the resolution reads.

“I don’t think it’s fair that our nation is being led by these district attorneys that are funded by George Soros and other leftist organizations that are criminally indicting Donald Trump,” Casey Gale, the author of the resolution, said. “There’s no tangible evidence that ties into any of this.”

1. hoarse hockey.

2. notice no one on the right is arguing the evidence and/or facts of any of these cases

no one is saying the documents were legal for him to have

no one is saying it is fine what was done to the voting machines in Coffee County.....

no one is saying hush money payments are just fine.......

9. Conservatives never argue the facts

They just cheer when billionaires by Supreme Court justices.

11. The Problem Runs Deep, Sir

They do not dispute the crimes. People take themselves for the measure of the world: even Master Kung advised judging what is off far by what is near. Benevolent people see good in others; corrupted people see corruption in others. Having convinced themselves everyone and everything is as corrupted as they, the question becomes not 'did he do something wrong?' but rather 'why is just my guy catching it?' After all, everybody cheats, everybody steals, everybody will do anything to keep in office. So of course, everyone else has done things bad as Trump, probably worse. It's persecution to single him out....

7. That's just one of the reasons I got out of that stupid fucking state...

The main reason is the mormon church & how they indoctrinate children to believe in what mommy & daddy & the bishop believe in.

Someone on DU had a post a few weeks ago that said it best.

(Paraphrasing)...If I want to indoctrinate your children, I won't need to become a "drag queen", I'll just join your church!

[Justice matters.]

8. It's ok. Keep digging your "political grave" Utah (and others) GQP.

Have a look at the most recent polls if you don't wanna die "politically"...

Utah? Ok... They're too stupid to see the cliff in front of them... (nationally).
