Prosecutorial discretion on the part of the Department of Just-Us.

Is there a statute of limitations on treason, or can the future administrations that shall some day ascend to the restored and once again respected White House palace of the United States of America, turn to the honest and diligent prosecution of the series of Treason, Bribery, and other High Crimes and Misdemeanors, that have been the mark of the Current Regime.

Every incoming POTUS realizes that if his predecessor can be prosecuted, he can be too. Democrats practice on the Republicans’ knowledge of this, and none more than the present incumbent. It is a problem inherent in the system.

I believe that the inner society, or shadow society of the beltway is so intoxicating that it commands both loyalty and submission from those who relinquish their morality and individuality to join. Few can resist it. Few will turn against it.

While some (usually conservatives) can remain faithful to the Oath they take, they are few and once a person steps across the line to become part of "the club" something dies in their soul. They become protective of the cult and nothing else matters.

This why people like the Clintons can thrive there for decades and all they do is ignored or forgiven - tossed aside for the chance to be close to them, to be associated with their success even knowing that to them nothing and no one matters.

This (I think) is why a Vince Foster can be killed and tossed in the woods and the entire beltway including media rallies in the effort to construct a story of irrelevance. This is why a Sandy Berger can steal and destroy archived documents crucial to a congressional investigation and it's no dig deal.

This is why people across the nation can watch the burning of women and children in Waco Texas and go to work Monday morning as if nothing has happened.

We are all being lulled into submission and numbed to reality.
