Trump in trouble?
What a week it has been in the nation’s political arena. With the announcement that former President Donald Trump was indicted over the classified documents that he had in storage at his Florida home. Apparently the question is not that he had them in his position, but that he did not turn them over to the feds when told to do so.
If you were turned into any radio or television talk show over the past week, it’s all been about Trump being indictment by a federal government grand jury, and depending on who your were listing too its been some talk show people want to crucify him and other say it’s a political maneuver to get Trump out of the race for the presidential election in November of next year.
And, on the other side, it is support for the former president.
Representative Jamie Raskin, D-MD, who is the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, stated the following about Trump. “Trump’s indictment means he put our national security in grave danger as he pursued yet another lawless personal agenda by pilfering and hoarding government documents.” Raskin was also the lead manager for Trump’s second impeachment trail after the January 6th storming of the Capitol.
Raskin did not address all the government documents that have been found in President Biden’s position including those stored in his garage along side of Biden’s Corvette.
Sunday morning our Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) joined Maria Bartiromo to slam the Biden Administration’s weaponization of the Department of Justice (DOJ) to indict the former president, setting as double standard of justice in America.
Johnson stated, “Well, when you consider the exoneration of Hillary Clinton, when you consider the fraudulent and corrupt investigation on Russian collusion, which was a complete lie and the FBI knew it was. You put all these things together. The FBI, the Department of Justice interfered in the 2016 election. In the 2020 election. And here we go again. There’s going to be interfering in the 2024 election and they already have. Once again, the investigation of Hunter Biden has been dragging on for years. They’re able to wrap up this investigation very rapidly. In addition, they announced it pretty much the same day when the details of the FBI Confidential Human Source was going to revealed by members of Congress. And I won’t steal the congresswomen’s thunder here, but it’s all-suspicious. And it’s just a horrible mess.”
So let us just wait and see how the courts determined if he should be sent to jail or they find that there is no equal justice in the United States. Trump’s Attorney General, Bill Barr, noted on national TV about Trump with this statement; “If even half of it is true, then he is toast.”
So here is my solution to the matter. Lets just elect Trump in November of 2024 and then he can pardon himself, or may be better yet, we can elect one of the other Republican candidates, there is a dozen of them, some of which indicated that they would pardon Trump if they were elected.
So, between now and the November 2024 election, we better have our high topped rubber boots nearby, because the BS is going to get very deep.
On another matter that I would like to tell you about is that the Village of Boyceville has stopped publishing their meeting agendas and their ballot notices. So if you want to know about the agenda for the Boyceville Village Board, just give the village clerk’s office a call at 715-643-2351 and request that you be notified about each board meeting. They are obligated to keep you informed.
This also goes for every public board meeting. Whether it be the local village board, town board, county or school board, you have a right to be notified about what is on the agenda. If you don’t see it in this newspaper, give the clerk a call, and don’t let them give you the runaround that its on the web or posted at the office window, see it in the newspaper.
Thanks for reading! ~Carlton
