BREAKING NEWS:

A jury of twelve ordinary citizens found Donald Trump GUILTY on all 34 counts in the People of the State of New York v. Trump case of falsifying business records to cover up campaign finance violations during the 2016 presidential election.

It is the first conviction of a former U.S. president in history.

This is an important affirmation of the rule of law. No one individual, no matter how powerful or rich, is above the law. Not even a former President of the United States. Anything less is not democracy.

Trump’s felony convictions will not bar him from running for President, and we will still need to defeat him in November. And as we saw outside the courthouse immediately after the verdict, he will be even more aggressive in attacking the democratic guardrails protecting our institutions.

So this is no time to let up in our efforts to ensure a Democratic majority in the House and Senate. Split $10 to my campaign and Blue Amp Action before our May fundraising deadline at midnight tonight to help defeat Trump and defend the rule of law >>

John,

A Manhattan jury found Trump guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up campaign finance violations during the 2016 election.

Twelve ordinary American citizens decided the legal fate of Donald Trump. Proving that nobody – not even a former President of the United States or (pretend) billionaire – is above the law. 

And despite Trump’s efforts to distract, delay, and deny – justice arrived for Donald Trump all the same. And by a jury of his peers.

My takeaway:

Our system of justice worked. Our rule of law withstood the immense pressure Trump brought to bear. Notwithstanding the enormous stresses on our democracy, the system is holding. And accountability matters.

Winning the presidency may now be the only thing remaining between Trump and avoiding prison time — either in this prosecution or three others — and he has shown he will tear down the entire system of American democracy to protect himself and return to power. WE MUST NOT LET HIM. Thousands of Democrats are sending in contributions to hold Trump accountable at the ballot box. Join them and split a contribution of $10 to my campaign and Blue Amp Action today before tonight’s May fundraising deadline.

 

 
 

Make no mistake, this verdict will only increase Donald Trump’s attempts to discredit the justice system and tear down our democracy. His enablers in Congress will do the same.

We need to call those efforts out for exactly what they are:

A blind attempt to protect a now-convicted felon, and deeply immoral human being, in the headlong pursuit of power.

Because justice prevailed. Justice.

And it’s up to each of us to make sure the justice system continues to hold him accountable. In federal cases in Washington, D.C. and Florida and the state case in Georgia.

And in November, we MUST defeat Donald Trump at the ballot box. That will be the ultimate accountability and affirmation of our democracy.

Thanks for standing up for the rule of law and our cherished legacy.

– Adam

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
