“No one is above the law,” says father of man who smoked crack while going 172 miles an hour in a car bought with Chinese bribe money.

That was the official response from Biden’s spokesman to a jury finding Trump guilty of 34 counts of a case in search of a crime.

Maybe I forgot when they passed a law legalizing smoking crack while driving 172 miles an hour. Also prostitution.

Is no one above the law?

I guess we can ask Hillary “what with a cloth” Clinton, Bill “I did not have sex with that woman” Clinton, Al “no legal controlling authority” Gore and Barney “what’s that male brothel doing in my house” Frank.

And then we can just keep going for the next eight hours.

“No one is above the law” is the kind of thing you say when a member of your own party gets caught stealing. Saying “no one is above the law” about a case where your own party has colluded to frame up your political opponent is the rhetoric of a banana republic hack.

Laws are things that apply to everyone. Even in totalitarian regimes there’s supposed to be a specific objective criteria. The laws rarely if ever actually apply to everyone, but at least they exist.

As I discuss in tonight’s article, ‘Trump Found Guilty of Running Against Democrats’, there was no actual law or crime here. Throwing the book at Hunter Biden was easy enough because when a guy spends this much time providing evidence against himself, it’s easy. The lack of initial charges against Hunter showed very clear that some folks were above the law. But the Trump ‘hush money trial’ was not about the law.

There was no law here. There was no crime here. There was no anything.

New York is not a totalitarian state because those don’t have crowds of thugs who just crossed the border running around smashing store windows and assaulting police while knowing that even if they’re caught, they’ll be bribed with Mets ticket to show up in court for a diversionary program.

It’s a banana republic. Making up a case against a political opponent with no regard for the law is a banana republic thing. So are the piles of trash and the crime and the state of urban fear.

No one is above the law because there’s no law, only thugs in Nets hoodies and thugs in black suits.
