Michael Sussmann Free And Peter Navarro In Shackles Epitomize America’s Two-Tier Justice
Federalist ^ | JUNE 06, 2022 | BEN WEINGARTEN

Posted on 06/06/2022 7:32:36 PM PDT by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas

The split-screen of a smug and triumphant Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann walking free from D.C. federal court, and a harried and bewildered former Donald Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro being hauled before it, following his account of a harrowing arrest and detainment, ought to be ingrained indelibly in the American mind.


It sends an unmistakable message: We can get you anytime, anywhere, on any grounds we choose. You can’t touch even a single one of ours.


If by some strange occurrence one of ours is brought before a court, the judge and jury will be rigged against you. “I dare you to ask me to recuse with an acquaintance on the stand,” the judge will say. “What’s a lie to our FBI among friends,” the jury will say. Especially when the lie is a useful one.

<< What do you do when your every institution has been weaponized against you? What do you do when there is a two-tier, no-justice system? >>

From the Declaration:

“But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

The Department of Justice needs really major housekeeping starting with a wholesale flush of the FBI.

There is nothing anyone can do to make it any better or even stay the same. Voting, of course, included.

The soap box has been deplatformed.
The ballot box has been decimated.

There is one other box....

"It sends an unmistakable message: We can get you anytime, anywhere, on any grounds we choose. You can’t touch even a single one of ours."

Or(thinking of the Uranium One standoff)....
"We know you won't be dealing in good faith. Therefore, we're committed."

Or...

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

Yup. There's some insurrectionist words for ya...

We haven’t had a “Justice System” in over 50 years.

We have a badly broken Legal System”.

When the Federal Government shows up at your door, it is best not to pretend they will go away.

Come on. A GOP house/Senate in ‘23 will deal with it? Perhaps both houses and the WH in ‘25? As Chuchie says they’ve got a thousand ways. I’ll say it again. Top off government retirement checks at $50k/yr. Totally indirect but effective. Will they quit? No. Just make all government employees pay the price through the elimination of departments. Tell them they’ve been naughty. The public will get behind the populist retirement benefit restrictions.

Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are Sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our Government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each State is a Sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever.

The withdrawal of a State from a league has no revolutionary or insurrectionary characteristic. The government of the State remains unchanged as to all internal affairs. It is only its external or confederate relations that are altered. To term this action of a Sovereign a 'rebellion' is a gross abuse of language.

THIS is old grey hippies in the upper echelons of government agencies who are trying to finally "change" America before they croak.

I don't know if you're old enough to remember, but when the draft was abolished after Vietnam, the "activists" declared they were going to "change the government from within" instead of rioting in the streets. Then they got jobs in the federal government, started investing in stocks and went disco dancing.

It's the same annoying, entitled bunch, on their last "crusade" and aided and abetted by their fellow grey-haired "activists" in the media.
