LOS ANGELES (OC).–Proving the real retribution comes from Disney/ABC against President Donald Trump, they’re still out get Trump anyway possible, now promoting ABC news journalist Jonathan Karl and former Vice President Mike Pence’s vendetta with Trump.  Karl is out promoting his new book, “Retribution:  Donald Trump and the Campaign that changed America,” another fake compendium of innuendo and gossip showing where the real retribution is with the Democrat Party and fake news.  Karl takes some of Pence’s scribbled notes on Jan. 26, 2021 as the gospel, documenting that Trump called him a wimp for certifying the 2020 presidential election when the Electoral College Jan. 6, 2021.  All the phony blather in Democrat and fake news circles about Trump’s “retribution” turns out to be Democrat and fake news retribution against Trump for winning the 2024 election.

Karl, like so many other fake journalists, are out to get Trump, hoping that if the Epstein Files don’t besmirch Trump he can resuscitate the dead dog of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s fake investigation of Trump’s role in Jan. 6.  Karl’s convinced that Pence’s scribbles on his daily planner as proof that Trump ordered the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection.  What’s Karl thinking that even if Smith used Pence’s scribbled notes on his daily planner that it would mean anything other than a disgruntled former employee who wound up a political has-been.  “You’ll go down as a wimp,” Pence claims Trump said in the morning of Jan. 6, 2021 right before Trump addressed a large crowd at the Washington, D.C. Ellipse.  “If you listen to the wrong people,” Pence wrote down.  Karl is convinced that Smith would have used Pence’s notes as categorical proof of Trump’s guilt.

Karl says in his book that Trump included an angry emoji after saying, “You listen to to the wrong people,” whatever that’s supposed to mean.  But when you listen to Karl he thinks that Smith would have used Pence’s scribbles as some kind of smoking gun.  Smith, on his own retribution tour, wants everyone to believe that he had convincing proof of Trump’s attempt to obstruct the Electoral College vote, but, more farfetched, ordered the Jan. 6 riots.  “The Department’s view  that the Constitution prohibits the continued indictment and prosecution of a President is categorical and does not turn on the gravity of the crimes charged, the strength  of the Government’s proof, or the merits of the prosecution, which the Office stand full behind,” Smith said, excusing why he dropped the case.  Smith has the same sour grapes as former Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Democrats and the fake news were so heavily invested in seeing Trump prosecuted and convicted for a wide variety of alleged allegations and crimes. Karl wants the press to think that Smith had all the goods on Trump, including Pence’s scribbles on his day planner to prove that he had convincing proof that Trump committed real crimes.  Special Counsel Robert Mueller spent 22-months, $40 million trying to prove that Trump used the Kremlin to influence the 2016 presidential election. Democrats and the fake news put all their eggs into the Mueller investigation, hoping they could finally convict Trump of treason.  Democrats and fake news were horrified March 23, 2019 when Mueller gave his final report, clearing Trump of any wrongdoing with Russia. Yet Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), formerly head of the House’s Intel Committee, claimed he had proof of Russian collusion.

Democrats and fake news were 100% convinced that Jack Smith was their new savior to convict and put Trump in jail to prevent his 2024 presidential run.  Karl beat as dead horse saying that actually Smith had all the facts needed to convict Trump of obstructing the government and ordering Jan. 6 riots.  Karl reports in his book that Trump told Pencce, “You’re not protecting our country, you’re supposed to support and defend our country,” Pence wrote on his day planner.  How Karl thinks statements made by Trump on Jan. 6 prove that Trump obstructed the government is beyond logic.  “It doesn’t take courage to break the law, it takes courage to uphold the law,” Pence wrote on Jan. 6.  How Smith thinks that’s proof that he had all the evidence to convict Trump is beyond comprehension.  Karl’s book is all about his retribution against Trump, working for a fake news TV network that disparages Trump daily as part of regular programming, day-or-night.

Smith doesn’t sound like much of a prosecutor saying the proof against Trump is that he lies all the time, deliberately trying to deceive the government. “The troughline of all of Mr. Trump’s criminal efforts was deceit,” Smith wrote in his final report.  What kind of legal analysis accuses a criminal defendant of deceit.  Karl quotes Pence, almost like a co-author, it his book.  “I said wer both [took] an oath to support & defend the Constitution,” Pence said in notes to Karl.  “It doesn’t take courage to break the law.  It takes courage to uphold the law,” saying he rebuffed Trump when he asked him block the Electoral College vote.  Karl and the Disney Corp./ABC should be ashamed of themselves pushing such rubbish about Trump while he represent the country on foreign soil.  If anyone’s on a retribution tour, it’s Democrats and the fake news.
