"a cross-examination for the ages?" [crook county state's attorney Kimberly] "Foxx's administration is an archetype of how the left runs their institutions: if you go along with the party line, we will not only leave you alone—we will even promote you, no matter if you have a long record of potential [possible] corruption or mere incompetence. but if you oppose us, like threatening our native form of lawfare called the exoneration movement, we will unleash attacks that could find you facing the criminal courts or, at the very least, the civil courts."

"chicago attorney James McKay turns the table on defense attorney in infamous police murder case…"

"news and commentary about chicago you won't get from the mainstream news"

"if Americans want to understand what is at stake in the upcoming presidential election, they should have attended the criminal trial of two former cook county prosecutors in rolling meadows last week.

"and as they watched the trial, they should have kept in mind the recent announcement that five men from new york have filed a defamation lawsuit against President Donald Trump for Trump's statement condemning a settlement made by the city of new york to the men known as the central park five.

"the central park five had claimed, with the help of prominent political critics like [career criminal] Al Sharpton, that they were innocent of the 1989 vicious gang rape and beating of a woman in central park, one in which she was not expected to survive. the woman beat the odds but has been left permanently disabled from the wounds she received. she also has no recollection of the attack against her.

"When the settlement was announced, Trump took out a full-page ad condemning it, echoing the conviction of many cops and prosecutors familiar with the case that the men were, in fact, guilty and should not have received a dime. in rejecting the claims of the five men, Trump announced that he had spoken to the investigating detectives in the case.

"so what do Donald Trump and the central park five have to do with a trial currently underway in Rolling Meadows?

"well, a lot, really.

"the trial in rolling meadows is the culmination of a decades-long crusade by chicago's radical left to free one of the city's most notorious criminals, Jackie Wilson, for his role in the 1982 murder of two police officers during a traffic stop on the city's South Side, and also to punish anyone who was involved in investigating and prosecuting Wilson. and what better trophy could there be than convicting two prosecutors in Cook county: Nick Trutenko, who successfully prosecuted Jackie Wilson, and Andrew Horvat, who represented Trutenko.

"the crimes alleged against Trutenko and Horvat? special prosecutors appointed in the criminal trial against Wilson—not Foxx's prosecutors but special ones, private attorneys appointed to the task—stated in court that they could not find a key jailhouse witness from Britain who had testified in a previous trial that Jackie Wilson and his brother Andrew admitted to the killings. The prosecutors said this witness, William Coleman, may be deceased. But attorneys for Wilson discovered that he was alive and that Trutenko was in contact with him, so much so that Trutenko became godfather to Coleman's child years after Trutenko's prosecution of Wilson had ended and while Trutenko was in private practice.

"on the one hand, special prosecutors alleged that the witness Coleman could not be found and might be deceased. on the other, Trutenko was in contact with Coleman. that's the muddy soil upon which the case against Trutenko and his colleague Horvat was constructed.

"so it goes in chicago. A police killer gets set free and the attorneys who prosecuted him are criminally charged.

"the two long-serving attorneys now join a collection of other fellow prosecutors facing allegations in either the civil or criminal courts since the radical left got their ally, Kimberly Foxx, elected as Cook county state's attorney and shifted the lawfare against public servants like cops, prosecutors, and judges into overdrive.

"Foxx's administration is an archetype of how the left runs their institutions: If you go along with the party line, we will not only leave you alone—we will even promote you, no matter if you have a long record of potential [possible] corruption or mere incompetence. but if you oppose us, like threatening our native form of lawfare called the exoneration movement, we will unleash attacks that could find you facing the criminal courts or, at the very least, the civil courts.

"the justice system wasn't supposed to work this way. Jackie and his brother, co-offender Andrew Wilson, were supposed to spend the rest of their lives in prison. Jackie Wilson found his way not only to freedom, but also gained vast riches through a federal lawsuit naming a host of esteemed public servants who worked in some capacity to investigate and convict him, a fact that signifies the collapse of the justice system in chicago. and this collapse has spread throughout the country, even to President Trump for daring to oppose the central park five settlement.

"Wilson's sordid path to freedom, then, is the story of how the American left operates and slowly takes control of the justice system. while it now wraps itself in the guise of social justice and equity, it is the same American left that since the mid-1960s has advocated and engaged in violent attacks, formed alliances with some of the worst political leaders in the world, and openly advocated for the overthrow of the justice system. they are now deeply embedded in American institutions. their strategy of turning vicious criminals into a kind of political prisoner and victim is employed far and wide throughout the country, now even against a former president. despite the overwhelming evidence that the five men were involved in the attack in central park, they were nevertheless paraded before the public at the democratic national convention shortly before the lawsuit against Donald Trump was announced.

"this strategy of using criminals for lawfare is based upon one key ally in the movement: the American media. Foxx, advocates for the central park five, and everyone involved in the exoneration game cannot move forward without knowing that the media will abandon every tenet of journalistic ethics in its collusion with the movement.

"no one knows these facts better than Trutenko, Horvat, and a host of prosecutors now aching for Foxx to leave office in december, hoping she will face the kind of legal scrutiny they have. they know that even if Trutenko and Horvat are likely to prevail at trial, they have already undergone the 'process is the punishment' attack that the American left wages against their political enemies, often supported by the wealth they have accumulated through lawsuits paid by taxpayers.

"prosecutors, judges, and cops watch their machinations from a distance and hope it doesn't come their way. they want to keep their pensions. they want to keep their income. they have families. they cannot afford defending themselves against law firms with deep pockets. so they surrender and go along with the party line.

"in the rolling meadows courtroom last week, a vivid and compelling cross-examination by James McKay, one of the attorneys representing Trutenko, took shape. if only Trump could have been there or, better yet, whoever it is Trump is thinking of appointing as US attorney general should he prevail in the next election in the face of the inevitable cheating the democrats will employ.

"there is no more crucial position in the country than the next attorney general, for the department of justice is the only hope to save the American system. after the last ten years, Trump knows both as president and from watching horror shows like the central park five being made rich, paraded at the democratic national convention, and then filing a lawsuit against him, just how dangerously corrupt the justice system has become.

"the potential attorney general could have watched attorney James McKay call the defense attorney representing Jackie Wilson, Elliot Slosar, to the stand at the rolling meadows courtroom and engaging him in a tense, often hostile cross-examination. in his questioning, McKay described what he called a 'setup' of Trutenko when Trutenko testified in the last criminal trial against Wilson about Trutenko's relationship to witness William Coleman.

"McKay suggested Slosar violated the rules of evidence when he didn't turn over to special prosecutors a crucial baptismal certificate showing that Trutenko was godfather to Coleman's daughter. McKay's line of questioning implied that Slosar kept this evidence from prosecutors in the hopes of a big 'aha' moment when the document was revealed in court—a moment that Slosar assumed would have compelled Trutenko to lie about his relationship to Coleman in an effort to protect the special prosecutors from their errant claims that Coleman could not be located.

"Trutenko didn't lie on the stand about knowing Coleman. in fact, he admitted an email exchange a few days before the trial, but the unearthing of the certificate was enough for the humiliated special prosecutors who said Coleman might be deceased to suddenly drop charges against Wilson and set him free, prohibited from being charged again. within hours of testifying, Trutenko was fired by Cook county state's attorney Kim Foxx. a bizarre attack alleged Trutenko had somehow committed some kind of misconduct and had misled the court. a new special prosecutor was appointed. that special prosecutor charged Trutenko and Horvat. the freed Wilson filed a civil lawsuit that eventually made him rich.

"during Slosar's testimony, Wilson filed into the courtroom and took a seat in the gallery, a man who was supposed to spend the rest of his life in prison now completely free and rich, while Trutenko and Horvat sat behind their defense attorneys, enduring the day-after-day drudgery of a criminal trial. in a little while, Wilson fell asleep and began snoring, so the sheriffs told him he had to leave.

"in his cross-examination, McKay turned the tables on Slosar and the entire case against Trutenko. in pointing to Slosar's failure to turn over the key baptismal certificate to special prosecutors before the trial, McKay painted a theory that it was Slosar who hid the evidence from special prosecutors as part of a 'setup' of Trutenko. Slosar denied it.

"McKay's cross-examination didn't hit with the media. whenever there is a bombshell attack on some narrative they have cooked up with defense attorneys and Kim Foxx, the obedient little scribes ignore it. the cross-examination will likely never get much attention, at most it will be relegated to a few sentences of intended media ambiguity.

"but the brilliant cross-examination is on record and preserved should a federal attorney general or his staff like to take a look at it."

"a cross-examination for the ages?"

N.S.: I think Marty Preib is confused about the full-page ad Donald Trump took out in the new york papers. That was in late april, 1989, as the central park jogger, Trisha Meili, lay in a coma in the hospital, and her doctors never expected her to come out of it. The case was known not as "the central park five" case, but as "the central park jogger" case.

Beginning over 60 years ago, the communist/racial socialist left has succeeded at imposing a reversal of morality and reality on the country, with the implicit support of the republican party, which has done nothing to fight it. And so, the five perps in question, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Korey/Karey (he used a different spelling, in order to fool people) Wise, Antron McCray and Kevin Richardson went from being heinous criminals to being depicted as "victims" who had been "exonerated," which had never happened.
