And the walls came tumbling down

If you listen to the commentary regarding the indictment of Donald Trump, one might believe that this time the walls really are closing in on him. But wise people will recall that the walls have been closing in on Donald Trump since he first announced his candidacy for President of the United States.

I do not know the facts regarding this case and neither do any of you. All we know is the result of leaks, almost all negative regarding Donald Trump. There is one possible explanation for these leaks, they are intended to try Donald Trump in the court of public opinion before actually trying him in a court of law. Perhaps I am wrong, but I suspect that if the case were really this strong, there would be no need for such leaks. In fact, the Special Counsel would be furious that this is happening.

To put this in perspective, a whistleblower reported that Hunter Biden was tipped off about a pending IRS search warrant regarding a location where he was storing documents. Contrast that with the swat team swarming Mar-a-logo with neither Trump nor his legal counsel allowed to observe. After the John Durham report does anyone seriously believe that no one in the FBI is capable of planting evidence? Most FBI agents are honest and honorable people doing a difficult job. But if whistleblower accusations are accurate, those people were shoved aside and replaced by people who may not have the same level of scruples.

When you combine this with reports of wiretaps and secret recording of Trump, with the full knowledge that he is running for President, alarm bells should be going off. Remember that Democrats impeached Donald Trump for daring to suggest that Ukraine investigate well documented rumors of corruption involving Joe Biden. (Rumors that by the way look pretty darn accurate.) At the time, Joe Biden wasn’t even an announced candidate, but Trump was impeached for even suggesting an investigation of a political opponent. Now, all the concerns about interfering with a federal election appear to have gone with the wind. We hear comments that no one is above the law, but no one should be below the law either. Even if one hates Donald Trump and considers him to be a narcissistic jerk, that does not justify taking away his rights.

The sad reality is that regardless of the final outcome few will have much faith in the results. Those expecting Trump to die in prison are hopelessly naïve. Some have even admitted that they would cut him a great deal if he would just drop out of the race. How convenient. That outcome, after all, sure appears to be the primary motivation for this fiasco. On the other hand, if the charges are dismissed, then the MSM will still argue that this does not mean Trump isn’t still guilty as sin. That result is as sure as rain.

Perhaps it is just me, but the prediction that the walls are finally closing in on Donald Trump are only slightly more believable than the predictions that Maldives is sinking, again. Not quite. It turns out that environmental officials warned that Maldives would be completely under water within 30 years. This prediction was made very recently. No one noticed that the same prediction was made in 1988. Then a sea level increase of 20 to 30 centimeters would be have Maldives underwater by 2018.

Predictions Of Maldives Sinking All Wet (climatechangedispatch.com)

“In September 1988, the Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported a “gradual rise in average sea level is threatening to completely cover this Indian Ocean nation of 1196 small islands within the next 30 years,” based on predictions made by government officials.

Then-Environmental Affairs Director Hussein Shihab told AFP “an estimated rise of 20 to 30 centimeters in the next 20 to 40 years could be ‘catastrophic’ for most of the islands, which were no more than a meter above sea level.”

The article went on to suggest the Maldives, along with its 200,000 inhabitants, could “end” sooner than expected if drinking water supplies dry up by 1992 “as predicted.”

Today the population of Maldives is 568,741. Maldives has actually scaled up infrastructure investments since 2016. The Maldives are only about 4 feet about sea level, but it sure looks like they are more likely to sink under a financial burden brought about by out-of-control spending long before the sea gets the job done.

While you are being warned that the Maldives are doomed, the supposed smart money is investing in long term physical development. Any questions?

These are the same group of clowns again predicting that the walls are closing in on Donald Trump. The walls of Jericho look good in comparison. How many times, exactly, can you make the exact same prediction, only to be completely wrong, repeat the same prediction with another future date and expect anyone to buy this?. Go ahead and snicker.
