The Gantt Report
By Lucius Gantt
The American phrase “no one is above the law”, now has zero validity.
Recently, a criminal court in New York City, found President Trump guilty on a total of 34 charges of falsifying business records to hide hush money payments to his alleged sidepiece.
The President-elect had a lot to say via video in his sentencing hearing, but he was quiet as a mouse in an evangelical church in other court proceedings, and Congressional proceedings held to investigate his alleged wrongdoings.
The so-called Babayka, as always, suggested his felony convictions were politically motivated witch hunts that were designed and prompted to keep him from winning the 2024 election that he claimed he won by a “landslide”.
Well, Trump has been found liable in civil court for his past behavior and his misrepresentations about his acts with a woman, he has been indicted for election abuses in more than one state, he was once associated with refusing to rent housing to Black renters in New York, he has been sued by contractors but he managed to get away without jail time in every instance.
How? Billionaires can lie their way out of almost any legal peril.
Most of the President-elect’s comments about his felony convictions were comical.
He’s said governmental employees orchestrated his judicial proceedings but “the government” didn’t convict Trump, he was convicted by New York citizens in a jury of his peers, some of whom were selected by his attorneys.
Black Americans couldn’t be convicted of 34 felonies and stay out of jail in a Hollywood movie!
Don’t act like injustice in America is a secret. Black men and women in the United States have never been above the law, alongside the law, or protected by the law
Donald Trump’s video rumblings at his sentences were far from a court pleading, Trump delivered a message to his base of nationalists and supremacists.
If you get a chance, read Bruce Wright’s book, “Black Robes, White Justice”, the book details the differences in how Americans of color are treated in the judicial system and how others are treated in the courts.
