[Hot Air] California Post editor Joe Pollak just sent out a tweet: "It's appalling that the victory of one party or another means that a private citizen and his businesses, none of which have been accused of breaking the law, would suddenly be targeted by the government. That's pure Third World and should outrage everyone."I like Joel. I've even done his radio show. But I was discouraged by his childlike innocence. For almost 10 years now I have been telling anyone who would listen that the modern America left, including the Democrat Party, is a criminal Stasi that doesn’t care about the law, due process, or human decency. They won’t just oppo research you, they will honey trap you, lie about you, manufacture fake crimes and bogus witnesses to destroy you.
The same people who’ve told me to shut up already talking about Brett Kavanaugh and the 2018 nightmare I was dragged into are some of the exact same people that are outraged that the Democrats are about to act in a lawless, criminal way. I haven’t hammered the Kavanaugh thing for almost a decade to flaunt my ego. I did it to warn people that if given power the left would do it all over again. Again, this is not hardball politics or oppo games. It’s extortion, it’s witness tampering, it’s honey traps and death threats.
It's criminal. And they're about to launch again. Have Trump officials already been honey-trapped?
Talking to Politico two years ago, Mike Davis, the former Senate GOP aide and current Trump supporter, spelled it out. We are entering, as Politico put it, "a post-Kavanaugh standard." No more accusing someone of a crime — and declaring them guilty — without evidence or proof. "In order to disqualify a qualified cabinet nominee, you have to come forward," Davis told Politico."The burden is on the accuser to come forward with clear and convincing evidence that they’re not fit for the current job based upon their prior misconduct. It has to be testimony and not innuendo. It has to be testimony, not anonymous sources." Added Davis, "You make an allegation, and then Kavanaugh is guilty until he proves his innocence? I said, ’[Forget] that. We’re gonna do the American presumption of innocence.’"
