Two-Tiered Justice System on Full Display
American Thinker.com ^ | February 16, 2020 | Fletch Daniels

Posted on 02/16/2020 5:53:14 AM PST by Kaslin

This was not a banner week for the idea that justice is alive and blind in America.

Three separate stories converged to drive home the obvious truth that America has a two-tiered justice system: the Justice Department's decision to not indict the guilty-as-sin plotter Andrew McCabe, the attempt to give Roger Stone an outrageous jail sentence, and the Army's decision to shrug that one of its officers attempted to orchestrate the removal of his commander-in-chief.

Even in the unlikely scenario that the Barr-Durham investigations send the full stable of coup-plotters to jail for decades, it will not erase the obvious fact that it pays to be a Democrat if you are going to commit crimes, particularly if they are political.

There are a couple of simple reasons for this. The most obvious reason is that the entire federal bureaucracy is one giant Democrat machine. This cannot be repeated enough. Nearly every member of almost every single department is a Democrat.

How bad is it? Back in 2016, 95 percent of campaign contributions for the presidential race went to Her Royal Awfulness. The Justice Department overachieved, coming in at 97 percent.

Those are William Barr's employees, the ones who are cranking out the paperwork. Federal rules make it nearly impossible to fire any of these employees. When Barr gives direction, those 113K+ employees of his Department are the ones carrying it out in whatever creative, and often subversive, ways they can. They are the ones producing the staff work and recommendations that daily land on Barr's desk and in his inbox, if their directives even make it that far before being implemented.

Being an attorney general under a Republican president is one of the hardest and most thankless jobs in the world.

Your real enemy is that unelected DOJ deep stater amongst many other people in federal, state and local government. They are your neighbors, your church mates, your “friends” and your family.

They will vote for a criminal, killer government that ends up killing you. They can never admit to that in front of you, of course. But when you are murdered or imprisoned on trumped up charges by the fbi, atf, state police or local county sheriff, those same people will quietly cheer that you got what “you had coming to you”!

The Army has ways of dealing with officers like him. I suspect he will be subtle informed that it’s time for him to retire. Less than attractive assignments. One possibility would be a more vigorous management of the weight control program. I doubt he’s still on the promotion fast track to Colonel. None of these would have the problems associated with prosecution.

“One possibility would be a more vigorous management of the weight control program.”

Well that makes me feel ever so much better. He flouts the chain of command and conspires to remove a law fully elected President and his punishment for that is Weight Watchers.

Sleep well, America.

I guess that is the same as getting Al Capone on tax evasion charges.

Capone was tried, convicted, and died in Alcatraz.

This seditious piece of crap won’t get dessert.

Could Barr and Durham be lining the dominoes up so they hit the real source of the Coup, the Hopey-Changey President and the Pantsuit Queenie?

The dupe McCabe is a pawn in this game.

>>it pays to be a Democrat if you are going to commit crimes, particularly if they are political.<<

I'm confused. Perhaps someone can help me understand. Isn't Atty General Barr a Trump appointee? Isn't Barr the head of the DOJ? The FBI and federal prosecutors nationwide are Barr's subordinates?

Wouldn't this McCabe thing have to cross Barr's desk at some point?

Not that it really matters, but Capone died at his Florida mansion. If I remember correctly, he was released because he was suffering from advanced syphilis.

The real sources of the coup are the seditious billionaires who own and operate the US government - Soros being the most visible, but probably not the most powerful of the lot. If you see Barr daring to issue international arrest warrants for powerful men whose names you are not very familiar with, we will be getting somewhere.

I’d like to believe that, but can’t. Wouldn’t be surprised if they put him on the Joint Chiefs someday. There’s no justice in that cesspool.

If you believe this I have a bridge you might be interested in.

The DOJ shows us again that they are two-faced lying bastards. The law works one way for “our Leaders” and totally against the rest of us.

Are these people so stupid that they can’t see where this is going? This kind of bull s^^t is one of the main reason why the Revolutionary War was fought in the first place.

If you think of Barr as a Cleaner... this all begins to make much more sense....

If nothing is done to hold the Establishment accountable than we pretty musch as admit that our Constitution ain’t worth the paper it is written on....

Is Durham just more window dressing to prettyu up the allowing of the EStablishment to walk... we’ll know by early summer...

The most obvious reason is that the entire federal bureaucracy is one giant Democrat machine. This cannot be repeated enough. Nearly every member of almost every single department is a Democrat.

Absolutely true. All of them are infested with Democrats. The fundamental problem with our government is that these liberals work for the system (i.e., to benefit and protect each other) instead of working for the people they piously profess to serve.

The biggest mistake the president made during his first term was not immediately replacing every political appointee with his own people. Ideally, that would have been done in the first hours. President Trump underestimated just how much damage a group of disloyal political appointees could do backed up by similar-minded bureaucrats.

Unfortunately this is true. Trump has paid a dear price for this mistake ever since. It nearly cost him the presidency. If he is re-elected he needs to do a though house cleaning as the first order of business. Nothing could be more important than removing the destructive infestation.

Identifying the problem is far simpler than coming up with practical solutions.

The author proposes several helpful solutions but he doesn’t mention that Barr doing his job would go a long way toward exposing the depth of corruption in DC. If Barr/Durham do nothing, which seems increasingly likely, its game over for justice in this country and we will officially be a partisan corruptocracy.

No justice, no peace. Trump’s second term should be kicked off with mass firings of these political hacks. He should have did it in the beginning.
