Good evening, comrades, and welcome to the brave new world in which political opponents are not considered “innocent until proven guilty,” but rather have “the right to a trial to prove their innocence.”
Don’t just take my word for it; listen to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Pelosi tweeted in response to Manhattan Alvin Bragg’s indictment of former President Donald Trump: “The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law. No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence. Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.”
The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law.
No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence.
Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.

Trump is currently “guilty” in Pelosi’s eyes. In fact, Democrats have labeled him “guilty” ever since he defeated Hillary Clinton in 2016. That’s why Congress, the Justice Department, the FBI, the State of New York, and others have been attempting to apprehend the “Bad Orange Man” for nearly seven years. They just haven’t been able to put him in handcuffs as they had hoped.
Finally, the Left found the perfect man for the job: a Soros-backed prosecutor who reduced 52% of felonies to misdemeanors in 2022.
DA Alvin Bragg is funded by Soros.
Bragg downgraded 52% of felonies in 2022 to misdemeanors.
A federal prosecutor & the FEC passed on Trump’s case bc it’s a nothing burger.
But Bragg elevates it to a felony charge against a former POTUS.
Blatant political targeting.

In reaction to Pelosi’s stunning tweet, Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch, tweeted: “Pelosi confirms malicious political prosecution by suggesting Trump is guilty until proven innocent!”

Gerry Callahan, writer and the host of “The Gerry Callahan Show,” tweeted: “Holy sh**. Someone has to tell this hag that no one has to PROVE THEIR INNOCENCE in America. At least that’s how it worked for the first 240 years. Then Trump came along and broke their brains.”
Holy shit. Someone has to tell this hag that no one has to PROVE THEIR INNOCENCE in America. At least that's how it worked for the first 240 years.
Then Trump came along and broke their brains. https://t.co/NlQE5GNlxZ— Gerry Callahan (@GerryCallahan) March 31, 2023
What exactly is Trump being accused of this time? According to attorney and law professor Jonathan Turley, the case will be “legally pathetic,” defying precedent by claiming that an alleged hush money payment to a porn star was actually a political expenditure, not a personal expense, that violated the law. If that appears to you to be political sleaze, it is, and it would lead to far more volatile politics in America.
As Turley said on Fox News, “Donald Trump may be the first former president to be indicted, but if this is the precedent, he won’t be the last.”

America appears to be moving in that direction.
When the most powerful woman in Washington does not even bother to conceal her flagrant disregard for a cornerstone of America’s justice system — innocent until proven guilty — it is clear as day that this case is rotten to the core — as if you needed any more proof.
