Why is the legal standard for Hillary different than the one for you and me?

That is the singular most important meme of this election, in my opinion. It is why, to me, the most important moment in this election was when Comey said that no reasonable prosecutor would bring charges.

We are advertized as a government of laws, not men. It means that regardless of your status, the law applies to you as it does to everyone else. But that FBI fiasco, on live television, proved we are a country of men, not laws.

It’s colored everything and proved the lies: Land of the free? Try buying a toilet that uses too much water. Try choosing to be self insured, health care wise. Try saving the rain water off your roof (in many parts of the country).

Don’t make me laugh. The U.S. today has nothing more in common with what the founding fathers created than Hitler’s Germany ad with the Germany of the 19th century.

I quit kidding myself about 10 years ago. Look at the american people. Look at their forms of entertainment, their crime levels, their respect for the unborn, their active involvement of the affairs of other countries.

We are no longer the good guys. We are, quite literally, lying to ourselves, just as the German People did in 1936.

And all that that implies.

I am no lawyer, but isn’t the endless repetition of “I don’t recall” and the destruction of massive amounts of evidence that is under subpoena all, technically, “obstruction of justice”?

Yep. Our federal government, all of it, is corrupt to the core. That's a bitter pill to swallow, and denail is a powerful force. But, as far as I have been concerned for many years, our federal government lacks moral legitimacy, and it's about time people started talking about that openly.
