National Review: “The Trump Indictment Is Damning”

From the editors of the right wing National Review:

Just as paranoiacs sometimes have enemies, people obsessively pursued for alleged violations of the law by their political opponents sometimes commit criminal offenses. At many junctures, most recently with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s flimsy charges, we’ve had occasions to point out how Donald Trump’s adversaries have twisted the law in a politically motivated effort to nail the former president.

And we certainly do not welcome the precedent of a federal prosecutor, who ultimately reports to the president, indicting that president’s leading rival for reelection. That said, it is impossible to read the indictment against Trump in the Mar-a-Lago documents case and not be appalled at the way he handled classified documents as an ex-president, and responded to the attempt by federal authorities to reclaim them.

The National Review was founded in 1955 by William F. Buckley and its past contributors are a clown car cavalcade of crackpots such as Brent Bozell, Dinesh D’Souza, Pat Buchanan, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Ted Cruz, Ann Coulter, and Peter Brimelow.
