That appears to be irrelevant to Butler.
No.
Butler's warning seems to be that weaponization of the justice system is perfectly fine if it targets Democrats. (Since "they started it".)
Looks like there is Graft in the Harris Family too.....

You can't just refute Butler's entire method of epistemology like that, kherg!
Once again - what is this referring to?
Again - evidence fraud charges have never been brought against someone in real estate before?
I guess the point here is that these allegations are about Harris' brother-in-law. Did Harris help him with this thing? Does she have any legal liability for whatever happens? The answer, and this might shock you or be controversial...is NO. So, in the real world (re: outside the right-wing fever swamp), this is a nothing burger. There are no ties to Harris, besides a familial relationship.
Now...when you look at all the shady shit for Trump -- He's either right in the middle of it, or its his kids. Now, should we blame Trump for shit that Don Jr., Eric or Ivanka do? Well, maybe. I mean, you can look at how Ivanka (and Jared) enriched herself during the Trump presidency. Did Kamala get money from ther BIL?
I'd call this another attempt by the right-wing Murdoch owned media to throw something at Harris and hope it sticks. But, it's just more right-wing bullshit.
Did he campaign specifically on charging Trump with those offenses?
No.
What he basically said was that he would hold Trump accountable. It is important to remember that the previous DA had evidence and allegations from other trials (hello Michael Cohn) and testimony before the senate.
If you want to talk about the rule of law being equal, you are right, Trump was not treated as another defendant. He was given preferential treatment. He was able to travel and talk shit about the judge like no other defendant would ever try. He was figuratively handled with kid gloves.
And while the right wants to paint what happened to Trump as unprecedented or a witch hunt, its more like the US has never had a president who blatantly broke the law before, in and out of office. If you can find that Biden, Obama or Clinton did similar things, I'd say throw the book at them. And I'm sure the FBI or DOJ would have done so. But...alas, there just isn't any credible evidence of wrong doing.
Actually, Hunter's gun charges are rarely ever prosecuted. They tend to be grouped into a larger bundle of charges and negotiated away during the plea deal period.
As for Trump: Why do you think this is a rare event, that someone is charged and convicted for fraud? Overstating the value of properties to secure a loan is illegal. And what Trump did is NOT something most developers do, no matter how much the talking heads on Fox tell you. Now, I would say that the banks are culpable to an extent here, they did not do their own due diligence into this, considering Trump's reputation. But, the reality is that Trump got better terms and money that might have gone to other more worthy businesses.
And...where did Biden's lawyers say he couldn't stand a trial? It didn't happen. Thanks for playing.
That's easy to fix.
When her BIL was doing this, Harris was AG in California.
At least some of these cases involved people in California, therefore she was involved.
That's all you need to set the horses off and running.
Remember the basic strategy that Trump happily laid out a couple of times.
- He asked Zelensky to announce an investigation into Biden.
- He asked the DOJ to just say that the election was corrupt and leave the rest to him and the Republican Congressmen.
And you would be correct.
Of course, there might actually be something. That's always a possibility.
It just isn't the point.
Gotta love mitch under-cutting Butler here with irrelevant nonsense.
It wasn't the talking heads in fox. It was real estate developers and market watchers on various business media that did.
Who else has been charged like this? Name them please.

Val, you really are having problems following the conversation again. I wish you the best as you try to navigate this.
Was it wrong when j Edgar hoover said he was going after al capone ? If capone ran for office would that have made it a political hit job ?
Name who was charged for lying on a gun application who has committed no other crimes - I dare you to. The Supreme Court said that those laws are unconstitutional and Florida doesn't even have a penalty for Hunters 'crime'. Furthermore red states never prosecute this 'crime'
Asking you for proof is "problems following the conversation"?
I like that one - just a shameless ink cloud of avoidance by you.
I don't think that's true.
I think there have been some lower court rulings and it hasn't made its way to the Supremes yet.
How about this guy: https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2018/aug/10/manafort-lied-on-loan-forms-witnesses-s/?print
I highly doubt thst Trump was the first guy ever charged for lying to get bank loans. Now show me who has been charged like hunter
Right.
That's not the provision Hunter was charged under.
People think the logic of the ruling should extend, but it isn't actually the same thing.
There are cases pending.
