The Paul Manafort Case Shows Beyond Reasonable Doubt the Double Standards of the Justice System
IWB ^ | Chris Black

Posted on 08/16/2018 3:47:37 PM PDT by davikkm

There is something going on in America on a profound social-political-philosophical-legal level. And it’s very wrong. If we don’t address this issue, which in my opinion poses the greatest threat to this country, we don’t have a future. What I am talking about is the lack of accountability of people in power, people who do wrong, people who flagrantly break the law. Why is this happening? Because of political correctness, aka our pathological need for “diversity”, because of someone’s politics or political designation, the law is not being fairly and equally applied.

What has made America the greatest country in the history of the world (NYC Governor Chris Cuomo does not approve of this message), and what has made her very unique, is that we have the rule of law, which means the law of the land is applied equally. Everybody has equal justice and equal rights/protection under the law.

Not Justice, but federal persecution.

⚖😡. DOH-j. While actual threats to the republic raise $100's of thousands on gofundme. A minor disparity.

If we start putting people like Manafort in jail, where does it end? The man is a hero. He was Trump’s campaign manager, after all. He helped Putin and Yanukovych. He made good money helping them, over sixty million dollars. That makes him a blessed man and a self-starter, an entrepreneur. We should be proud of a hero like him. Sure he paid no taxes, but why should he? It’s not clear that President Trump paid his fair share either, but are we going to judge our super patriots on such odd ideas as are they obeying US law? I think not. All American people need to pledge allegiance to President Trump. And he must, must, pardon Manafort if this kangaroo court finds him guilty based on mere evidence. It’s all a witch hunt.

Evidence, please.

IMO, it highlights Mueller and his team of vermin and how corrupt and dirty they are.

Did you leave your account logged on in the library or something? That comment sounds like something a lefty would say to make conservatives looks bad — unless you’re being extremely sarcastic and I’m not picking up on it.

My “neighbor” across the street decided to erect two gates blocking an easement road access to my son’s property. He did this without asking or advising, in the middle of the night, complete with “no-trespassing” signs. His excuse? He’s ex-DEA and afraid of cartel reprisals. My appraisal? He’s an asshole. The gates came down with one phone call and one text. Once he realized small town America doesn’t tolerate strong arm tactics he folded like a cheap suit. Did I mention that he is retired? Lost fraternity, lost soul.

Refusal to reveal his tax returns(as shown as a requirement in the constitution[?]) is the obvious answer. 😹😹🍿🍻💸. Maybe, just maybe, someone forgot their "/S"?

If you look at the posting history of that account, it looks pretty much like a run of the mill Democrat Underground troll.

I think what they are TRYING to say is WHY IN THE HELL should we obey the laws WHEN NOT EVERYONE is held up to the same laws!!! OUR SIDE is held up to EVERY DAMNED LAW imaginable YET the left doesn’t seem to have to follow ANY laws BECAUSE these leftist BASTARDS control our government!!! It seems that whether we have supposed Republicans OR Dems they are BOTH on the same side!!! I think this is what the poster is trying to say!!!!

If Manafort shorted the IRS millions in taxes, he should be prosecuted, but so should Al Sharpton.

Right now, he is getting the full prosecutorial weight of the government, while other miscreants are either ignored or pled out for pennies on the dollar.

Dems have been conducting lawfare for years. The Rs will never do it.
