Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Donald Trump’s negligent, corrupt, dishonest, psychotic mishandling of the coronavirus crisis has been a crime against humanity. But at what point does it become a crime against the law? Former Assistant FBI Director Frank Figliuzzi thinks we’re there:

Think the evidence in Trump’s last impeachment trial was powerful? How about negligent homicide: https://t.co/fkPQFv6Hso

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner agrees:

Elments of Neg Hom:
1. Grossly negligent act (or a duty to act + a grossly negligent failure to act),
2. Reasonably likely to cause serious bodily injury or death, thereby,
3. Causing death of another (“causation” = conduct which is a substantial factor in bringing about death). https://t.co/JRfPiQsEIe

Of course successfully bringing criminal charges against Donald Trump requires getting him out of office first. But if the nation properly unites behind Democratic nominee Joe Biden, and Trump loses in November, he can then be hit with any and all federal and state criminal charges that are deemed appropriate. The list of Trump’s crimes continues to grow more lengthy and serious.
