Rich Lowry, Trump's ditto head opinion writer for the Conservative National Review in a New Orleans Times Picayune article dated 6/30/22 says U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland should stand down and not indict Trump concerning his traitorous acts of June 6th. Like his sick opinions, Lowry gives several excuses why Trump should not be prosecuted and follows the script of the GOP that they are elite, above the law and should not be held accountable for their own illegal acts.
Lowry's first excuse: The people would think the prosecution of Trump would be political since the Attorney General was appointed by President Biden. Second excuse: Lowry does not believe Trump acted in corrupt intent with his lying about voter fraud because Trump spent his whole adult life exaggerating, twisting and obscuring the truth to suit his interest and ego. Third excuse: He is naturally prone to conspiratorial thinking and no one is going to be able to establish his state of mind. Fourth excuse: Most of Trump's allegedly illegal acts were carried out on the advise of lawyers, and indeed in the company of lawyers. Fifth excuse: Those republican voters who voted for Trump twice have to be persuaded that it is time for him to go.
Lowry's sick excuses ape the sickness affecting the GOP and so called conservative media that GOP Presidents are above the law. They are the same ones who spread the lies about Hillary Clinton's role in the Benghazi attack even though three GOP controlled committees in congress who investigated the incident found the charges against her not to exist. But Trump and Lowry's crowd still chanted, "lock her up" over and over again and Trump said he would see that she would be prosecuted if elected.
The January 6th committee has already presented evidence that Lowry's excuses are just that, excuses to protect a traitorous President and his party. Lowry admits in his column he knew Trump was a liar who twisted and obscured the truth to suit his interest and ego all his life. But Lowry still voted for and supports Trump and is still his ditto head. This writer wrote commentary long ago how Trump's corrupted business life was brought to the White House and continued the corruption in the political arena.
It culminated in his refusal to transfer the powers of the Presidency peacefully, his attempt to corrupt the political process by claiming fraud he knew did not exist and his attempt to have Presidential electors overturn the election. That Trump sickness torch was passed to the conservative media who enabled Trump's every move and his extreme rhetoric and continue today with Lowry's sick column of excuses for Trump and the GOP.
