Most sensible people who know the difference between right and wrong. Would have foreseen such lawsuits and taken careful steps to avoid being the targets of such serious litigation. But not Trump’s lawyers. Nor did Fox News and some of their many political commentators. Anticipate that they would be placed under the microscope. Being asked in a Court of Law, to give some sensible and rational reason for their outrageous lies. The nation waited with bated breath to hear their lofty and ingenious arguments. That would somehow justify the national carnage of distrust, disbelief, apathy, and frustration. Which they, through their calculated, premeditated and mischievous antics, had wrought. Their conduct was downright criminal to say the least. Sacred history informs us that liars under certain circumstances deserve the penalty of death. The eight hundred prophets of Baal. After three and a half years of drought and famine, decreed by The Lord Almighty. Failed miserably to call down fire from heaven. To authenticate their false God, and their pagan worship. The prophet Elijah did so however, after a very short prayer. The resulting fire was so ferocious that it consumed the sacrifice, the stones of the altar, and licked up the water in the trench. The accompanying thunder was so loud that it was deafening. It filled the people’s hearts with overwhelming awe and wrung from their lips the declaration: “The Lord He is God. The Lord He is God.” 1 Kings 18:39 (NKJV). The former president’s purveyors of falsehood. Probably wont pay for their folly with their lives. But they should be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. We certainly did not expect to hear the defence that they have mounted, “A key member of the legal team that sought to steal the 2020 election for Donald Trump is defending herself against a billion-dollar defamation lawsuit by arguing that “no reasonable person” could have mistaken her wild claims about election fraud last November as statements of fact. In a motion to dismiss a complaint by the large US and Canadian voting machine company Dominion, lawyers for Sidney Powell argued that elaborate conspiracies she laid out on television and radio last November while simultaneously suing to overturn election results in four states constituted legally protected first amendment speech.” (International Edition of The Guardian by Tom McCarthy, 23 March 2021). How is it that Jezebel’s deceiving prophets were unable to pull that little rabbit out of their hat of dirty tricks? When faced with the brutal reality of en masse summary execution for their outrageous lies. What Trump’s lawyers did was not only inexcusable it was also unforgiveable. Especially since their lies facilitated sedition, the fomenting of a riot, the loss of five lives and multiple injuries. And the only defence that they can think of is yet another lie? As we read in scripture, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, And prudent in their own sight!” Isaiah 5:20-21. (NKJV). This nation in its entirety needs to remember that truth is one of the foundation stones of our great democracy. In fact we profess to serve a God of truth who also happens to be Omnipotent. We are counselled in scripture: “He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He. Deuteronomy 32:4. (NKJV). Therefore, all the people involved in their futile attempts to steal the 2020 General Election, will have to face the music for their folly. Many who were involved in the violence on January 6, will have to go away to prison for many years. Those who incited them will also be prosecuted and punished as the law determines. Events will occur not only to expose the full malice and treachery of all the bad actors. But they will be reduced to a status of infamy for many years to come. As we are warned in scripture, The wise shall inherit glory, But shame shall be the legacy of fools. Proverbs 3:35. (NKJV).
