Trump Solicits Election Fraud


Once again President Trump has committed a crime in plain sight. Apparently, in an attempt to demonstrate that voting by mail will result in a fraudulent election, Mr. Trump has urged voters in North Carolina to vote by mail and then cast an in-person ballot  in the same upcoming presidential election. If the voter can get away with it, the President counsels, it will prove that the election is rigged.
As one might suspect, voting twice in the same election is a crime. One who invites or encourages such an unlawful act is, himself, guilty of the crime of criminal solicitation. Mr. Trump continues to adhere to the notion that he is above the law. When confronted with the fact of his transgression expect him to claim that he was only joking. And don’t expect Attorney-General William Barr to initiate any enforcement. Mr. Barr acts only to investigate those he perceives to be the President’s enemies and to assist the President’s cohorts.
