With Jack Smith Dismissing Trump's Federal Criminal Cases, What of the American Mantra, "No One Is Above The Law"?

Dec 1, 2024
As a 30-year federal prosecutor - a rule-of-law guy - I asked myself the question, whether the often heard refrain that "no one is above the law" still rings true in today's America.

I sat down, put pen to paper, and here is my take on that question.

The law is supposed to protect the GOP and Magas.
And used to control and punish everyone else.

No one can do an even cursory read through of American history and believe that no one is above the law.

If you’re not wealthy you can’t afford justice.

Always been like that. It always will be.
