Trump indicted by New York grand jury

Continued from Pg. 1

“When we start politicization of the justice system, I think it’s a very dangerous precedent.

First off, no one is above the law…but we are going to be tit for tat and then the next party, when they are in charge, they are going to try and indict political opponents,” Stitt said. “It’s horrible, it’s dangerous—it’s a dangerous position for our country.”

Vice chair of the Oklahoma Democratic Party Eric Proctor said in a letter that Democrats should not let the opportunity pass them by in the shadow of election season.

“We must act now and make sure we elect leaders who will hold those in power accountable for their actions. We need your support to help us ensure that we have the resources to continue fighting for a better future,” Proctor said in the letter.

Centrists and most legacy media outlets seem to hold mixed opinions about the indictment.

“It’s impossible to overstate Mr. Bragg’s bad judgment here” The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board said regarding early rumors surrounding the Manhattan District Attorney’s decision to move the case forward. The opinion piece said reviving a seven-year-old case that federal attorneys refused to prosecute was unreasonable.

Others said Bragg should not have initiated the indictment process against the former president in hopes he might instead be charged in Georgia for more serious crimes.

Both sides of the aisle and the center each uniquely mischaracterize the indictment and its political implications.

Democrats like Party Vice chair Eric Proctor hope that criminal charges levied against the former president will diminish his popularity.

The nature of Trump’s popularity is unlike any other politician in American history. He raised $4 million for his campaign in the 24 hours following the indictment.
