We've mentioned that the Washington Examiner is a NeverTrump outfit. They do their best to find ways to attack Trump. Sometimes those ways expose morons.
In this article, they set out to demonstrate the danger of Trump's call to de-fund the (utterly corrupt) FBI. They found some "expert" to make their case.
...While the majority of Republicans have criticized Bragg’s case against Trump as politically motivated, experts and strategists are sounding the alarm over Trump’s call to cut federal law enforcement money amid what appears to be a national crime wave.
“Republicans, regardless of what they have said about the indictments and so forth, most of which I agree with, don’t want the topic of the day to be Donald Trump. That’s enough of a problem,” said Doug Heye, a Republican strategist and former communications director at the Republican National Committee. “When Trump then forces something like essentially saying defund the police, because when you’re making grand pronouncements, nuance is lost. When Democrats have said, 'Oh, I don’t want to defund the police; that’s not what I meant' — Trump is potentially putting Republicans in that same position.”
Heye recommends Republicans, especially those in swing districts, should come out powerfully against Trump’s defund the Justice Department and FBI message.
“They absolutely should. Nuance gets lost in things like this. You can have hearings, you can investigate, but when you’re talking about defunding the FBI, that’s talking about defunding the police. That gets directly in the way of the rule of law messaging,” Heye added....
Clearly, this yutz doesn't understand two things:
1) Citizens want crime in the streets to stop, not invented political crimes. Local cops and DA's resolve crime in the street issues, not the FBI, which now concentrates on inventing new 'terror' crimes like protesting at school board meetings and attending Latin Mass. By the way, Mr. Expert, local cops are locally-funded, not Federally-funded, under the Constitution--remember that document?
2) Defunding the nearly-totally corrupt Justice Department is similarly flawed. Need an example? The Department of Justice almost never prosecutes Federal gun-possession offenses against repeat criminals--which means the local cops and DA's have to do the work with far less prison-time on the table. Meantime, DoJ prosecutes political protesters.
The Washington Examiner should find "experts" and "strategists" who at least understand the crime issue and the Constitution. That can't be too hard, can it?
