You don't think the "sins" and crimes of the corrupt politicians and their hires do not affect people in their daily lives? And deaths???? Millions of us NEED JUSTICE SERVED!
Elections in America need to be forward looking - there’s no percentage politically in pursuing “justice” against powerful figures who are now relegated to history, out of jobs, out of office, out of power. Meet the needs of voters, the sins of the past are the result of the voters and the opposition not doing their jobs well in th past.
One thing voters need is to see that our country is a just country, and that the rule of law applies to everyone, that the elites and powerful must obey the laws just as we the peasants do. If there was no "political percentage" in legally going after criminals that happen to be DC swamp dwellers, why do millions of people chant "LOCK HER UP"? Why do millions of us want JUSTICE for these criminals?
Someone has said it much better than I can:
“In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.”
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956
Well, I think if Trump were to overplay his hand by pursuing the Obamas and Clintons et.al. - his political power is not sufficient currently to right those wrongs - then what you would end up with is much more corruption and criminal activity as the Democrats wrested complete power back from him. He doesn’t have the political power to successfully prosecute them until he has much more support in D.C. And even then, it might be wise to focus mostly on the issues that got him elected, rather than pursuing past criminals. This corruption- It is the result and the cost of electing the people like the Clintons, the Bushes and the Obamas for decades. As a people, that is the price we pay for doing a very poor job in our civic duty. If we want to correct it we will need the diligence to see that happen over a very, very long road. One election won’t do it. One election can be a fluke...and I assure you that is what the Establishment thinks, and they aren’t giving in. It’s going to take more.
It’s going to be a long, hard road to get the rule of law back...it has been ignored in favor of Machiavellian power for the better part of at least five decades...the last three decades in earnest. One election doesn’t change that, or the power structure built up over decades. But more victories can begin to change it...if we are patient and don’t overplay our hand when we are still relatively weak. Now is not the time for vengeance.
