Paul Craig Roberts, In Court Cases Facts Are Losing Their Relevancy as They Have in News Reporting, Scholarship, and Science

Paul Craig Roberts

[Editor’s note: The Sandy Hook lawsuits provide a perfect illustration, where none of them has been decided on the basis of its merits by being sent to a jury to determine the facts. They have been decided on the basis of assumption, presupposition, or (in the case of Alex Jones), alleged failures of discovery. My own came the closest, where Wisconsin allows judges to set aside evidence it considers to be “unreasonable”. Thus was a massive conflict in alleged facts resolved by simply “setting aside” all of mine.]

Informed people understand that the indictments, civil charges, and judicial rulings against Trump all involve what is politely called “a stretch of the law.” But they do not seem to grasp that Trump’s defense against the charges is not based on the falseness of the charges but on whether he has presidential immunity.

In other words, the phony charges stand, and the question is whether Trump has presidential immunity. Whether the charges are factual is not considered relevant.

The advantage in Trump’s attorneys taking this approach is that if Trump has immunity, all the indictments are dismissed and trials over the disputed charges do not take place, a good thing as the biases of the Democrat prosecutors, judges, and jurors make fair trials for Trump impossible.

SGT REPORT: Neve Speak of This — Prof. James Fetzer

The disadvantage is that Trump’s enemies can claim that the charges are true but could not be brought to trial because of immunity. More seriously, it means that the lack of evidentiary basis for the charges will not be established. In other words, the Democrat prosecutors who weaponized law in order to intentionally concoct false indictments are protected from having their crimes revealed.

Of course the Democrat juries and judges would validate the Democrat prosecutors cases despite the lack of evidence. In the US judicial system where truth is irrelevant, accusation alone serves as the basis for indictment and conviction. As no defendant or defendant’s lawyer trusts the American judicial system, 97% of all alleged felonies are resolved with plea bargains in which even innocent defendants agree to a lessor charge in order to avoid the risk of a longer sentence imposed by a trial. Only the idealistically few expect a fair trial.

By declining the Justice (sic) Department’s plea to fast-track an immunity decision, the Supreme Court has probably delayed any Trump trial until after the election. If the federal appeals court upholds Democrat district court judge Tanya Chutkan’s biased ruling against Trump, then the appeal goes to the Supreme Court. It lengthens the ordeal that Trump has to endure, but it likely frees him from campaigning with a false conviction hanging around his neck.

  1. Concerning the infamous Jan 6 Capitol visitation event, 750 have been convicted.

    Not one of the Capitol police who unlocked the building doors and welcomed the revelers into the building has been fired or arrested. ?!?

    1. After studying the evidence extensively, I agree with Don. I voted for Obama twice. The Sandy Hook FEMA drill took place at the start of his 2nd term. I lost all respect for him. It was the beginning of a long stream of similarly staged events. January 6th was instigated by the undemocratic Dems too. The original cause was the fraudulent 2020 US election. Now Demented Joe has completely destroyed the country. His atrocities are too numerous to list in a short comment. I’ll just conclude by noting that it is equally clear that Barry Davis doesn’t have a legitimate State of Hawaii birth certificate. These political deceptions and violations of the law are unending.

  6. As far as I am concerned, this blog is compromised. Comments go to moderation for no reason. I cannot get any reply to emails to Fetz as to why. The mighty have fallen. Sorry, Toni…I cannot keep doing this.as much as I enjoy our back and forth. I may regret posting this comment, but someone has to speak out.

    1. I hope you don’t mean to imply that Fetz is doing the compromising! You’ll get BillAu all excited.

      It used to be that comments were automatically retained before publishing, and then moderation was opened up to allow comments to be published immediately. Which meant that now it seems no one is keeping an eye on comments that are held in moderation and releasing them. It’s low on the priorities list.

      It’s hard to make it perfect. I still like it better now.

        NEVER to afraid to express yourself anywhere. Eff ’em all!

    3. Will II, I thought I had made it open. I haven’t had to moderate any comments for some time (months) now. So please tell me more. I don’t know what you are talking about. But it sounds like something I should know about. Tell me more.

      1. Jim, I posted a comment on 1/3 at 6:41 AM. It wen to mod for no reason. It only had one link. The following day, I commented about it and posted it again. Both comments till sit in moderation: I sent you an email yesterday:

        Jim…have you any control over the moderation? I posted something over 30 hours ago (6 AM yesterday) and it went to moderation (there was only one link…I have no idea why).

        This is the beginning of the comment, but I will not post it all, lest it go to mod for a third time:.

        Your comment is awaiting moderation. This is a preview; your comment will be visible after it has been approved.
        Just came across this list ala Jeff Fozworthy, but written by someone named Dennis L. Cuddy, Ph.D…..just sharing…followed by a quick interview that breaks open the 1/6th fiasco You might be a Democrat or Liberal if

        Responding to Toni……of course I do not blame Jim……it’s the comment system that has always sucked.

      2. I would like to have an opportunity to edit my posts as I usually see some errors after they are posted, but I can’t do anything about it.

      4. Jim, I should also mention that a comment that was up and never moderated, just disappeared….Toni will attest to that.

      5. On Saturday, Dec.30, a comment from Will showed up in my rss feed that never showed up on the site. I’ve never seen that before. Pic from my feed:

      10. Jim and Toni (the only two who seem to be interested.)……I have now posted that moderated comment three damn times. To be certain there was only one link in it, I pasted it into an email and only one link came up in blue. It should not have been moderated to begin with. There is either freedom of speech on this blog or there is not. There is nothing in that comment that should require moderation. The web master or whomever could at least give it the courtesy of an examination simply out of respect for someone who comments quite frequently on this blog. IF it’s not corrected, I will no longer be commenting here…..sorry, Toni…right is right.

  7. This article echoes my own on this site nearly three years ago entitled “The Late, Once-Great American Judiciary”. The American judiciary may not stand alone as the most corrupt in the world, but it is indisputably the most costly and incompetent. Over 80% of lower-court decisions are reversed–if the plaintiff can hold out long enough against the long-arm of government. Trump is lucky he has the money to hire good lawyers, who are likely to tie up the courts up until after the election. True, he may lose to the kangaroo court in New York investigating the Trump Organization, but that is a civil case and any decision will be appealed indefinitely. And, either he wins in 2024 and none of this matters, or he loses and all of this nonsense–designed solely to keep him from running or setting him up to lose–will go away. But while Trump may escape, and even benefit in the long run, the rest of us will remain imprisoned by an out-of-control judicial system.

      1. …AND…..maybe someone with greater legal acumen (whatever that is) than my humble self (which might include anyone else) can tell me how all this would have gone IF our courts were under Common Law and not the UCC.

      2. The undemocratic Dems believe the best form of democracy is a fraudulent election that favors them and the moron they have selected. In 2024 they aren’t having any primaries or debates. RFK Jr. has been kicked out of their communist party. He’s lost in the swamp anyway and doesn’t know in which direction to swim, if he even knows how to swim. Niki Haley, the Queen of Genocide is actually ineligible due to her parents not being native born Americans. She’s essentially a type of anchor baby born on American soil to parents who were not born in America. I don’t know about Vivek, but I actually prefer him over Trump; however, it’s extremely doubtful he would actually ever be the RepubliCON candidate. Trump is the man most of electorate favors.
