Criminals on the Loose: Donald Trump, Jim Jordan, and Matt Gaetz

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

I believe that there are many more members of our federal government who are criminals than we are aware of. Hiding corruption under “for reasons of national security” is proof that the American government is the most corrupt and therefore the most incompetent in the world.

However, three men are well-known for their crimes, and they have never been punished. Two are members of the House of Representatives and one has been allowed to run for the presidency thanks to a biased and criminal Supreme Court. The Constitution is now null and void.

I know there are others who have openly committed lesser crimes, including support for Neo-Nazi groups who seek the end or our democratic government, and are in violation of the ethics clause. However, these three have been the most newsworthy.

JUST TO NAME A FEW

Jim Jordan was an assistant coach for the men’s wrestling team at Ohio State University. The team’s doctor was charged and convicted after several members of the team accused him of sexual assault. Some of those same individuals told investigators that Jordan was fully aware of these heinous crimes, but did nothing about the situation, making him a co-conspirator. However, his crimes have been ignored and he remains a free man. The rich and powerful never pay for their crimes.

Matt Gaetz has been under investigation for years. He has been accused of engaging in sexual relations with minors. In at least one situation, he allegedly paid for a young woman’s travel across state lines, which added the charge of sex trafficking. Like his fellow “Freedom Caucus” member, Gaetz remains a free man and it is apparent that he will never be punished for his crimes.

Donald Trump is facing 91 felony indictments. Some of his crimes occurred prior to his illegitimate presidency, and others while he was pretending to be our nation’s leader.

His most egregious crimes occurred between 2017 and 2021.

When Trump was advised that a deadly virus was spreading across Asia and would likely reach the United States at the end of 2019, he ignored it, claiming that our country was prepared. In the early months of 2020 Covid-19 became lethal as the number of deaths grew rapidly across Asia and Europe. Trump told the American people, “it will just go away.” Only when Americans began to die in March was he forced to take action. Health experts are positive that Trump is responsible for tens-of-thousands of lives lost because of his failure to lead our nation in the fight against the coronavirus. The number of total lives lost surpassed one million.

After Trump lost the 2020 election by a huge margin, he became the first loser who refused to accept defeat and follow the centuries old policy of a peaceful transfer of power.

THE WORST WAS YET TO COME

Trump began planning and organizing an effort to overthrow the results of our democratic election. On January 6, 2021, he executed that plan, ordering his Neo-Nazi supporters to use any means necessary to halt the certification of the Electoral College vote. His coup failed. Those of us who watched the horrific insurrection knew that an act of treason had ben committed by a sitting president.

After Trump was evicted from the White House, his residence inside Mar-a-Lago was searched by the FBI. Trump lied, claiming that he returned all the documents he stole when he left office. Several boxes of classified documents were recovered. Trump was not arrested for the theft of national secrets or for lying to the FBI.

In 1955, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed for the same crime, and yet Trump remains a free man and has been allowed to run for the presidency by a corrupt Supreme Court.

CO-CONSPIRATORS

I must inform you that several right-wing politicians were involved in the January 6 riot. Tommy Tuberville, Jim Jordan, Kevin McCarthy, and Ron Johnson were in contact with their Fuhrer throughout the three-hour debacle. They also remain free and continue to hold office in Washington. On January 5^th, Lauren Boebert conducted a tour of the Capitol Building for several leaders of the traitors who led the revolt. She, too, remains free.

Now that the Constitution has been shredded, we are a nation without laws: unless you are not rich or powerful. Justice is not blind and not fair in America. My advice is “trust no one in authority.” This is the real conspiracy in our country.
