Our justice system has profoundly failed us over the last four years, NOT by its failure to lock up Hillary Clinton, but by it’s systematic failure to afford President Trump and other political targets the presumption of innocence. The inversion is also true:
Our justice system has profoundly failed us over the last four years when it systematically failed to afford president Trump and other political targets the presumption of innocence because it got away with failing to lock Hillary Clinton up.
New evidence is expected today or tomorrow concerning further atrocities committed by the FBI in the Mueller prosecution of General Flynn and before. If that evidence is released to the public will you condone failing to prosecute those FBI agents and Department of Justice prosecutors for criminality as and when it is shown?
If your answer is "no, of course such illegality must be prosecuted," do you agree that it must be done in order to deter further criminality?
“If your answer is “no, of course such illegality must be prosecuted,” do you agree that it must be done in order to deter further criminality?”
Yes, I do agree. I am confident that you and I are on the same page as far as what we WANT to see happen, what would be just, and what would strengthen the Republic.
I argued with you over a practical matter which is fairly academic, possibly moot, and entirely subjective on my part.
Namely, my opinion that there exists in this country somewhat of a “too big to fail” mentality, a weakness, a lack of strictness and will, which shields top tier leftist politicians and other celebrities from certain legal consequences.
If I appear to be defending or condoning this mentality, this weakness - perhaps it is because I feel it is a flaw that is a byproduct of something else, and I don’t want to “throw the baby out with the bathwater”.
For example, in many contests, a deceitful man will always win against man who is bound to tell the truth. So, is deceit a strength, and honesty a weakness?
The bottom line for me is that I am resigned to the reality that Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama, and a long list of other top leftists will never pay for their crimes. As Rumsfeld said: “You go to war with the army you have, not the army you might want or wish to have.”
I don’t like it, but I think I understand it.
It is because honest, humble, freedom-loving people are vulnerable. Their love of freedom makes them reluctant to investigate and coerce others, and their honesty and humility make them yield to the limitations of their ability to judge.
To the deceitful Left, these virtues offer opportunities to exploit, blind spots and dark corners where they can hide.
Remember - this isn’t a defense of evil - I am just saying that, like it or not, there is no way Hillary Clinton is ever going to jail. So, given that reality, I’ll be satisfied if we can just defeat her politically, discredit her and her kind, and prevent them from ever again holding a high office or position of influence.
