The Collapse of the Rule of Law

Guest Post by Martin Armstrong

Jack Smith was never formally appointed by the president and had to be confirmed by the US Senate. He not only lacks Constitutional authority to prosecute Trump, but he has pulled off a serious constitutional question that the Sixth Amendment was all about.

Yes, Ed Meese, who was attorney general under President Ronald Reagan, filed an amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) brief before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals last month where he pointed out that Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional. Thus, this prosecution of Trump is therefore illegal – null and void.

Meese wrote in his brief that Smith was  “not properly clothed in the authority of the federal government, [and] Smith is a modern example of the naked emperor.

Sixth Amendment

Smith has violated the intent of the Constitution for the Sixth Amendment was to secure your right to counsel and to be put on trial in the “district wherein the crime shall have been committed” because the King would charge you in England for a crime in the colonies where he KNEW an English jury would always rule in favor of the King but a trial in the colonies would rule against the king. Smith charged Trump in Washington DC, where he had a 95%+ Democratic bias for a crime in Florida. He had to charge him in Florida for a trial to pretend he was complying with the Sixth Amendment but cleverly indicted him in Washington when that is not where the crime took place.

Then you have the whole dubious prosecution in Georgia where the District Attorney appointed her lover as the prosecutor of Trump, who was a private lawyer and not a government employee. Then, in New York City, arguing that Trump overvalued assets on bank loans that were paid off as if that was defrauding a bank that has their own appraisers. Virtually every borrower in New York City could be charged under that theory.

All of these prosecutions are seriously disturbing and are stretching the law to the point that there is no rule of law. This shows how desperate the LEFT is to seize control of this country at all costs. If the Constitution no longer matters, the historical response is always a violent revolution. There does not seem to be anyone willing to defend the actual law. Defeat Trump at the polls – not by illegal and questionable prosecutions.

Must be sad to be You! So much HATE instilled in you! Kind of ironic that this Nation’s Greatest President in the History of our Country, a Man who has done so much for the good people of this once Great Nation! A Man that has sacrificed so much of his own fortune to do what’s RIGHT for the people of this country! And YOU support a man who STOLE the election and is doing everything in his power to get us in WWIII and DESTROY our country! Tells me everything I need to know as to your character and such a HATE filled person! Must really suck to be you! Comrade!

The Constitution and Bill of Rights, along with the Supreme Court are no longer valid and used under the current Democratic Administration.

So, let’s imagine that face.
But with eyes bulging, still dead.
A blueish tinge to the face.
The tongue protruding from those thin lips, swollen and blue.
A solid hemp rope about the neck, tight to almost breaking the skin.
The body swings lightly in the breeze, as the first crow alights to peck out those dead eyes.

pretend he was complying with the Sixth Amendment but cleverly indicted him in Washington when that is not where the crime took place.

Called Forum Shopping. When I was taking contract law during my marine ops training back in 91 this was one of the topics on the slate. And I have no doubts it was going on LONG before I took classes and became aware of it.

The biggest issue is, we are told the one side (rinos) takes the ‘higher’ road and plays by the rules. The satanic cultists completely ignore the rules until it serves them to force the peons into compliance with a warped interpretation of the ‘law’.

There is NO rule of law. Only a warped perception of rule by laws. Just like voting, the People think there will be a measure of justice in the courts, when in fact, it too is theatre. Bad theatre.

This presidency has been nothing but dictatorship and the collapse of laws in every aspect that they could put their dirty hands upon. Starting from their division of hate dividing the country with victimology to dictating the use of appliances. Supporting unlawful invasion of the country and depleting American energy reserves. Involvement in a foreign war that was not a NATO country into a great possibility of provoking a nuclear world war. Conducted by total corruption to imprisonment of American citizens that protest against them. The charges had grown daily since this administration has taken office being at the point now it would take a book to contain all that has been done.
I always have to add ” The republican party cannot find a reason for impeachment. “

The half (RINOS) unable to find cause for impeachment are very likely the people Congressmen Burchett and Cawthorne told us about. Unwilling to resign and end their gravy train and scared shitless about their corruption and whoring being exposed. Also a few ultra RINO’s like Eye Patch McCain Crenshaw who are proud WEF’rs. Crenshaw’s district must be composed of some really dumb fuqueres.

The only thing to do is the same as Africa did. Form a citizens commitee”, appoint all those members from the people that were charged and jailed over the “6TH”; and have them investigate …The “6TH” debacle;
the general election just past and soon future elections. And trace all monies spent on the wars so far! Then make the hearings public and prosicutions serious and by the Commitee or Commitee monitored American Justice System. While forbiddin g any Supreme Court interferince, as it has been corrupted!

A comment about Jack smith being a Jew from Europe……and that means he is not American….anymore than Barack Obama is/was.

Special Counsel Jack Smith is really “Avi Hauermann”–a United Nations officer working in The Hague.

Does anyone have information on whether the original name of Jack Smith is “Avi Hauermann”? I am not alleging that this is true: I’m trying to get to the bottom of it.

All this get Trump anyway they can is nothing but a farce in reality this country has turned into a communist nazi country that no one would have ever thought was possible. Now there it is for every one to see and they better be careful or anyone could be next. No one is safe from the gestapo if they want you they will get you. Trump has not done anything to deserve all this except he is not in the corrupt club and that is the reason he has to be stopped and if they can’t get him that way they will probably have him killed don’t be surprised if they do they got Kennedy and got away with it they will do the same to Trump.
