Dear Palmer Report readers: I don't like the "countdown" advertisement any more than you do. If enough of you are able to make a one time or recurring donation this week, I'll be able to get rid of it. Donate here now. Much thanks, Bill Palmer.

The rivers of justice and the rule of law are supposed to flow freely, but always with fair and equitable waters. Not so much under Donald Trump. In the past few weeks, we've seen indictments of Tish James and James Comey. We've heard other names spoken about as targets of Trump's vile displays of hate. Now it would seem John Bolton is the newest stone to be thrown in Trump's rivers of hate,

It would seem an indictment against Bolton has been filed. The press is camped out at the court, and really, this news is not a surprise. I expect it won't be the last one either. All of the indicted share one defining characteristic - they've managed to piss off Donald Trump. A badge of honor, if I do say so.

But it isn't supposed to work like this. Still legal waters are supposed to run deep only with prosecutions and indictments that make sense. The proper way to do this is first to find the crime, then to find the perpetrator to serve the time.

In Trump's mixed-up, unmerry world, it is the opposite -- He found an enemy, now go find a crime to convict. It is nauseating. It is gross and disgusting what this animal has turned the Justice Department into. This is all happening amid a government shutdown. The Government needs to reopen. We also need to understand that CHARGING someone is far different than obtaining a conviction.

I predict that all those charged will see their indictments either tossed or will be found not guilty. For the American people know this is not how our country is supposed to work. They know that Donald Trump's symptoms of madness have manifested themselves in these indignities playing out on our justice system. They know that one doesn't fuck with the rule of law, especially if one is, themselves a sick, evil Son of A Bitch.
