He's on MSNBC carrying and highlighting a book he brought with him called "Three Felonies a Day".
Gist being that EVERYONE could be found guilty of 3 felonies a day if prosecutors want to.
Fuck him trying to normalize this shit.

(64,933 posts)There were actually no indictments of the Obama administration for ANY wrong doing.
Of course if it is Ken Starr he would indict a Ham Sandwich.

Wtf, seriously. How partisan do you have to be to call yourself a law and order person and then dismiss so many outrageous crimes in the Oval Office that you can just shrug off three felonies a day!?

(4,103 posts)Which turned out to be absolutely nothing and now here he is trying to explain away treason, money laundering, racketeering, and sedition, as if it's merely a parking ticket.

(31,261 posts)Sounds strange that Will will defend Trump, he seriously hates the guy.
Will has been working toward criminal justice reform and restoring rights to felons that have honorably done their time. Could the discussion have been about those issues. It is not a secret that prosecutors over charge and charge minorities when the would not bring charges against whites.
Hell, even for everyone, you, me or anyone else here can be caught doing a rolling stop through a stop sign and a cop can arrest us for reckless endangerment because a vehicle was coming down the road a quarter mile from us. Sounds overdone to defend Will, but the reality is that black and brown people get stopped for a bad tail light, and end up in handcuffs after cops look for other things.

(15,334 posts)concerned Donnie Short Fingers criminal liability and obstruction of Justice, maybe he should have saved the book for a discussion of the next minority murdered by a cop.
I can't believe there are people on here defending Will.
This is why we can't have nice things.
The only thing to do with a POS like Will is to make sure his political philosophy is curb stomped.
There are plenty of great people fighting for criminal justice reform. We don't need an ass pickle like George Will

(31,261 posts)Was Will defending Trump (doubt it because he seems to seriously despise that bastard), or did you jump the shark.
Please don't pull the third way, that person is a Dino shit. I generally have no use for Will, but I am wise enough to accept that we don't get change unless we have moderates and occasionally, conservatives fighting with us, that is a plain reality. Criminal justice reform and restoring felon's rights are important social initiatives, Will is for those things, so for that case, I am ok with Will, though I have pointed out during past post that people like Will that it virulently oppose Trump, made Trump possible and if I got a chance to sit face to face with one of them, I would make the reasons why I believe as I do clear.
liberalhistorian
(20,818 posts)He was trying to show how stupid and dangerous the current legal justice system is, especially prosecutors, and how this has eroded and endangered our rights and our liberty.
He's very much against Trump and republicans who support him. He's been an advocate for criminal justice reform. I think you completely misunderstood.
janx
(24,128 posts)You're right.
Blue_true
(31,261 posts)But I don't let that cloud my judgement in the case of the issue being discussed. Will seriously believes that Trump is vile, Will almost pukes on tv when he mentions Trump's name. I just don't see how Will goes on tv and bash the criminal justice system to help Trump, I just don't see that.

(15,334 posts)or, as we would say in the Navy; what a bunch of happy horseshit
George Will has spent decades doing nothing but shilling for a party that weaponized the Criminal Justice System against minorities
and dreaming that someone would be stupid enough to make him Commissioner of Baseball, because apple pie and shit.
In a moment of honesty, Will would tell you that he fully supports Donnie Short Fingers policies", but his only disappointment is that they couldnt find someone that wasnt fucking insane to implement them.
Case in point: If Donnie Shit for Brains is taken out, Will would be on his knees sucking off Pence quicker than you could say; tax cuts for the wealthy.
We need to beat the ever-living fuck out of folks like Will and FORCE them to implement criminal justice reform on Progressive terms
NOT theirs.
We need folks like Will to support Criminal Justice reform in the same way we needed the Gestapo to support reforms of their Jewish policy.
I will say it again; George Will can go fuck himself sideways with a First Edition, Hard Cover copy of Atlas Shrugged!!
