Todays Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
So, James Comey walks free, for now. That was the big uproar on Thursday, and my only question is why did the media and politicians treat it as if was some sort of news? We have known for three solid weeks now that the Department of Justice had decided not to prosecute the nations most prominent Teenage Drama Queen for his rampant internal malfeasance. So, why was everyone tossing such a fit about it?
Assuming William Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham really are performing an investigation into the origins of Spygate which is far from a safe assumption at this point I can even understand the rationale behind merely humiliating Comey with yesterdays Inspector General report documenting his serial leaking of FBI documents. After all, the Department of Justice theoretically does not possess unlimited resources to pursue every case that comes its way unless your name is Roger Stone or Paul Manafort, of course so better to conserve those resources for prosecuting Comeys role in the failed coup detat that was mounted within the FBI and other agencies against President Donald Trump throughout 2016 and 2017.
Still, with every tweet he issues and every TV appearance he makes, Comey personifies the dual system of justice that continues to exist in our country. Because the simple fact of the matter is that if you or I leaked FBI documents to the New York Times, whether directly or through a friend, you or I would be spending time in the federal pokey.
It is now crystal clear that former Attorney General Jeff Sessions never had any intention of lifting a finger to end that duality within our justice system, and we have all hoped William Barr would be different. Yet, here we sit, fully six months into Barrs term in office without having seen a single perp walk, indictment, or even any clear indication that he or Durham have taken the step of convening a grand jury. We did, finally, at long last, get the latest IG report from the plodding Michael Horowitzs office on Thursday, and it turns out to be just another exercise in finger shaking a just another naughty boy that produces no real result and no real public satisfaction that anything real is actually being done.
The next bit of Horowitz-produced Kabuki theater, his full report on the abuse of the FISA process that enabled the Spygate operation to take place, will be the next shoe to drop. The public record is damning on Comeys role in all of that he lied repeatedly to the FISA court about the veracity of the Steele Dossiere and its contents. He put his personal signature on FISA applications that he knew to be outright frauds on the Court, a reality borne out by his own testimony before congress. We know the same about Rod Rosenstein, Sally Yates and others.
Supposedly that long-overdue report will drop shortly after Labor Day. Supposedly. Will it contain any criminal referrals, and if it does, will they be pursued by the DOJ? Thats an open question. After all, Horowitzs April 2018 report targeting Andrew McCabe contained criminal referrals, and the only thing DOJ did to McCabe was fire him. Today, McCabe is not only a free man, he is a highly-paid contributor to CNN. He and Comey probably popped the cork on a bottle of Dom last night to celebrate Comeys continuing liberty.
Rumors have been flying around this week that Barr and Durham are indeed about to finally, at long last indict McCabe for his various well-documented crimes. If so, that would represent a good start. But it would be just a start.
If it is really his true intention to try to restore Americans faith in our system of justice, William Barr has miles to go before he sleeps.
That is all
Imagining Comey, Clinton, Muller or any of these folks will ever see any sort of consequences is a fool’s dream. There is zero chance of it happening.
I’ll believe something is going to happen when Hillary’s IT guy, the one that destroyed evidence under subpoena and lied to the FBI about is charged. Talk about low hanging fruit.
Comey will never pay a legal consequence for his actions.. nor will the Clintons, Obama, Brennan, Clapper et al. In this two-tier justice system the elites glide above the reach of the law that governs the commoners.
For now. For tomorrow. For evermore.
This is why we cannot give an inch on any “common sense gun legislation” ...
Honestly, I cannot stand posters like you. IMHO, you should be banned. But this ain’t my site so I’ll go kick rocks.
We have seen Barr do plenty. His list of excuses for inaction is endless.
There are two sets of laws. One inside the Beltway and another more punitive outside.
For what? Not making a comment on the article?
Proof that the Swampies up in the District of Corruption are looking out for each other regardless of which political party they belong to. It’s definitely them (the “government”) against us.
At this point in time justice in the republic is a joke. What can we do? Deputize the citizenry? Print up “Wanted Dead or Alive” posters.
The criminal elites are laughing at us and looting us.
List of grievances:
1) Debt
2) Spygate
3) Aiding & abetting invaders
4) Complete breakdown of “checks and balances”
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. - Declaration
Ill believe something is going to happen when Hillarys IT guy, the one that destroyed evidence under subpoena and lied to the FBI about is charged. Talk about low hanging fruit.
He was given immunity by the corrupt Obama DOJ.
Huh?
Would heads explode at CNN if Trump issued Comey a Presidential Pardon?
Rough days ahead for this country. I for one have lost faith in this government and the folks who run it. I am not talking about the elected officials, it has been clear that mid to upper level management are the most corrupt. These are the folks that run the day to day operations of the government. They have forgotten that the voters are the ones they have to answer to. These government drones in most cases think they know better the citizens of this country . Until the government is purged of corrupt unelected management then nothing will change
former Attorney General Jeff Sessions never had any intention of lifting a finger to end that duality within our justice system
I still maintain that Sessions was the Insurance Policy they spoke of. And his job was to Cover up and Bury as much incriminating evidence as possible.
THE ENTIRE FBI AND DOJ NEED TO BE DISMANTLED AND REBUILT FROM THE GROUND UP. BOTH ARE TOTALLY CORRUPT AND NO ONE IS BEING PROSECUTED FOR BLATANTLY BREAKING THE LAWS OF THE USA.
Mr. Sessions was instrumental by allowing both the FBI and DOJ to operate without any oversight. Mr. Sessions was a fool.
Unfortunately, I think nobody is going to jail any time soon for the coup against President Trump.
So, the only near term remedy for this two-tier justice system will be parity in the other direction, namely, full pardons for any Trump associates who are being punished for lesser crimes, merely for being Trump associates. I dont think the President will tolerate this double standard for too much longer.
But, like it or not, such pardons will have to wait until President Trump is safely re-elected, in November of 2020.
To do political pardons sooner would jeopardize the re-election - and lets face it, if President Trump loses his re-election bid, the two-tier justice system will be the least of our problems.
Nobody said draining the swamp would be easy. In fact, many of us in our darkest hours have considered the possibility that it may be too late - it may be impossible - even for President Trump.
In the hope that it is still a possible for the President to rid DC of this deep state infestation, I think we really need to cut him and his team some slack.
He will need every bit of his eight year term to do it - which is another way of saying that no matter how you cut it, we will have to wait not months but years for the result we are looking for.
Furthermore, we cant expect play-by-play coverage during the process. To be successful, President Trump will need to use stealth. His enemies will not see him coming, and that means we wont see it either.
