Tune into the session and politics, but turn down the noise – Daily Montanan [1]

Well, the long-awaited indictment of former president Donald Trump by a New York grand jury came down late last week and, boy, oh boy — it was like throwing a match into the gasoline of political windbags.

The noise machine will undoubtedly go on for some time now, and we’ll be hearing plenty from highly qualified and experienced legal experts to charlatans intent on using the indictment as a very handy excuse to grift more money from gullible loyalists.

The funny thing about all prognostications, analyses, opinions and predictions, is that since this is the first time in the history of the nation that a former president has been indicted for crimes, there really is no past experience from which to draw. So while the issue is sucking all the oxygen out of the news cycle, it’s probably good advice to take it all with an abundance of caution and a high degree of skepticism for the doomsayers.

To paraphrase a quote that’s been around for about 1,600 years, “the wheels of justice grind slowly but grind exceedingly fine.” And indeed, while there’s wailing and gnashing of teeth by some over the indictment, others are cheering. It’s a good idea to keep the concept of “justice” firmly in perspective.
