Good evening comrades, welcome to the brave new world in which political enemies aren’t considered “innocent until proven guilty” — but rather, are graciously afforded “the right to a trial to prove their innocence.”

Don’t take my word for it, listen to former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA).  In reaction to Manhattan Alvin Bragg indicting former President Donald Trump, Pelosi tweeted: “The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law. No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence. Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.”

The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law.

No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence.

Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.

Right now, Trump is “guilty” in Pelosi’s eyes. In fact, he has been considered “guilty” by the Democrats ever since he beat Hillary Clinton in 2016. That’s why for nearly seven years, Congress, the Justice Department, the FBI, the State of New York, and more have been trying to nab the “Bad Orange Man.” They just haven’t been able to actually get him in handcuffs as they’ve dreamed about.

Finally, the Left found just the guy to do it for ’em: A Soros-backed prosecutor who demoted 52% of felonies to misdemeanors in 2022.

DA Alvin Bragg is funded by Soros.

Bragg downgraded 52% of felonies in 2022 to misdemeanors.

A federal prosecutor & the FEC passed on Trump’s case bc it’s a nothing burger.

But Bragg elevates it to a felony charge against a former POTUS.

Blatant political targeting.

In reaction to Pelosi’s stunning tweet, Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch, tweeted: “Pelosi confirms malicious political prosecution by suggesting Trump is guilty until proven innocent!”

Gerry Callahan, writer and of host of “The Gerry Callahan Show,” tweeted: “Holy sh**. Someone has to tell this hag that no one has to PROVE THEIR INNOCENCE in America. At least that’s how it worked for the first 240 years. Then Trump came along and broke their brains.”

Holy shit. Someone has to tell this hag that no one has to PROVE THEIR INNOCENCE in America. At least that's how it worked for the first 240 years.
Then Trump came along and broke their brains. https://t.co/NlQE5GNlxZ

What exactly is Trump accused of again? Well, as explained by attorney and law professor Jonathan Turley, it seems like it will be a “legally pathetic” case that defies precedent by claiming that an alleged hush money payment to a porn star was really a political expenditure, not a personal expense, that ran afoul of the law. If that seems like political chicanery to you, it’s because it would be and would lead to far more volatile politics in America. As Turley said on Fox News, “Donald Trump may be the first former president to be indicted, but if this is the precedent, he won’t be the last.”

It certainly seems America is heading in that direction.

When the most powerful woman in Washington doesn’t even bother to hide her blatant disregard for a cornerstone of America’s justice system — innocent until proven guilty —  then it is plain as day that this case is rotten to its core —as if you needed any more evidence.

The Florida Attorney General’s Office ordered Thursday that former members of the Reedy Creek Improvement District must turn over communications they had with The Walt Disney Company over an agreement the two parties signed in early February to hand over their power to the company as the state of Florida was working to strip them of that power.

The old board signed the agreement to transfer its power to the company on February 8 and the agreement was recorded with the Orange County Comptroller on February 9 — the same day that the Florida House passed legislation that renamed the Reedy Creek Improvement District to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and removed Disney’s self-appointed board and replaced it with a board appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis.

News 6 WKMG reported that the discovery was made by attorneys that were hired by the new board. The special counsel also discovered that the old board used a common law property rule known as the “rule against perpetuities” to extend how long Disney has control of the powers.

The Attorney General’s office sent the following letter to the former members of the Disney-appointed board:

I write to advise you of the attached public records request, which the Office of the Attorney General submitted to the entity formerly known as the Reedy Creek Improvement District (the “District”) under Chapter 119 of the Florida Statutes. It is likely, if not certain, that you possess records responsive to this request, which would include emails and text messages sent on personal devices or accounts if they were “made or received pursuant to law or ordinance or in connection with the transaction of official business by” the District. See § 119.011(12), Fla. Stat.

To the extent you possess responsive records that are not in the custody or control of the District, this letter advises you of your legal obligation to retain copies and to provide the records to the District as soon as possible. See § 119.10, Fla. Stat. (discussing applicable civil and criminal penalties for violations of Chapter 119).

The Attorney General’s office sent an email to the targeted individuals instructing them to “provide copies of all emails, text messages, and other correspondence from or to employees, board members, or other affiliates of the Reedy Creek Improvement District regarding the following topic: Documents discussing agreements, covenants, or similar documents approved or considered by the Board of Supervisors on February 8, 2023.”

“Please limit your search to documents discussing an intention or goal of circumventing, avoiding, frustrating, mitigating, or otherwise attempting to avoid the effects of anticipated actions by the Florida Governor and Florida Legislature,” the email continued. “If you believe that individuals no longer affiliated with the Reedy Creek Improvement District may possess responsive public records that are not in your custody or control, please advise how the Attorney General’s Office may be of assistance.”

The email said that the records needed to be turned over at the fastest speed possible.
