Legal scholar Jonathan Turley humiliated Rachel Maddow, Hillary Clinton and the rest of the dems gloating over former President Donald Trump’s multiple indictments. He said:
“The great novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote that “there is something awe-inspiring in one who has lost all inhibitions.” Fitzgerald’s observation came back to me in watching the media coverage of the latest Trump indictment.
“As I myself covered the indictment as a legal analyst for Fox, I once again felt a certain longing for the abandon shown by some of my counterparts who dismissed any concern over what are now roughly 100 criminal charges against former President Donald Trump in four different indictments.
“It was like watching a party through a window that you could not join.
“I cannot say that I have ever been much of a party animal.
“However, there are times when being a legal analyst is like being the designated driver at a rave party. Everyone seems to have lampshades on their heads as you furiously google-map the safest route home.
“At MSNBC, host Rachel Maddow interviewed Hillary Clinton in a segment that began with the two liberal figures laughing joyfully.
“Clinton then regained her composure and solemnly declared her “profound sadness” at this moment. The scene captured the dilemma for press and pundits in attempting to control emotions that seemed at times like the open ecstasy of a thrill kill.
“Former Biden Press Secretary Jen Psaki had earlier pushed book clubs to adopt the indictments for collective reading, and others had suggested that families should read “every word” so as not to miss even a syllable of satisfaction.
“Nothing allows a Democratic child to sleep more contently at night than the predicate offenses to a Trump racketeering charge.
Former Democratic Senator and MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill (who previously warned everyone to “back off” Hunter Biden) was in open rapture.
“She proclaimed “the good news is we finally have Rudy Giuliani indicted. Whoo-hoo! That makes me very happy.”
“For her part, MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell took a moment to celebrate a “strong black woman standing up to Donald Trump,” adding a race element to the celebratory charging moment.
“The celebration got to the point that a leading democratic adviser suggested others should tamp down the public displays.
“It did little good.
“If you watched the last few days of cable programming, you would think that Porn Hub was about to introduce a new fetish category for Trump Indictments,” he said.
