During Comey's "I am not a weasel" apologia, he used a phrase I thought interesting at the time and far more interesting as the enormity of what just transpired has become obvious: "This was done exactly the way you would want it to be done." No one on the committee interrupted him to ask "You, who?" but I have to think it was a veiled reference to the complicity of both party establishments - yes, the fix was in and you all knew it, in other words.

Because a fix it certainly was. Once again, the gatekeepers of governmental integrity, if that is not a contradiction in terms by now, were suborned, and the truth of the old Juvenal plaint Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? highlights the stink of the corruption in which the American public's noses have just been rubbed. They did it, they're admitting it, hell, they're proclaiming it triumphantly, and what are you going to do about it? Nothing. In fact, the head of this criminal enterprise stands a fair chance of being rewarded with the highest office in the land.

There is a custom in more or less civilized forms of government whereby there is an effective amnesty by the incomers to office toward the outgoers, mostly in the interest of avoiding a cycle of revenge to be associated with changes in office. For the most part that is a laudable custom, but it also means that the guilty can run out the clock, which is exactly what is happening with regard to this investigation. Does anyone imagine a newly seated Republican administration punishing IRS officials, for example, for their criminal activity during the previous administration, against a chorus of "Move on!" shrieking in the partisan media? Don't hold your breath. It isn't happening, although it ought to. This isn't silliness like stealing the W keys off keyboards, this is serious organized crime, and it's killing the country.

Government has failed. There has to be a top-to-bottom purge or the ballot box will have failed too.

Oh MAN....you are RIGHT about that phrase...."This is done exactly like you would want it to be done"!!

The Republicans were IN ON HILLARY"S BENGHAZI WEAPONS TRADIG TO OUR ENEMIES!!
