No, Kenya definitely is NOT Turkey!
My point was that autocratic rulers/governments can & will conjure a scapegoat to deflect public attention from the failures & nefarious deeds of said government or in order to inflame the populace and to acquire more power. This is true whether done by a Caliph wanna-be like Ergodan toward Rev. Brunson or a one-party state in Kenya or by ‘The Swamp’ using a ‘gotcha’ FBI interview to create process crimes for people like Martha Stewart, Scooter Libby, et al.
The US is not Turkey, but how can we say that there is justice when Gen. Flynn is forced to plead guilty and Hillary & Co. jet set the world raking in millions.
Yes, I agree.
Especially considering what happened yesterday in the SDNY Federal Court action concerning records seizure from Attorney Michael Cohen.
3 nights ago finishing at 3:00AM I read the redacted Prosecutors “Charging documents” in total disbelief.
There were no Charges brought but the areas that they said justified the seizure of records were all redacted.

“the USAO-SDNY has already received correspondence from counsel for the Trump Organization (Cohen’s former employer), which referenced the searches conducted of Cohen’s premises and claimed:
We consider each and every communication by, between or amongst Mr. Cohen and the Trump Organization and each of its officers, directors and employees, to be subject to and protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or the work-product privilege.”
“Accordingly, the nature of the USAO-SDNY’s investigation and the nature of the offenses—which sound in fraud and evidence a lack of truthfulness—weighed heavily in favor of the USAO-SDNY’s decision to execute search warrants.”

Yes, this sounds like actions of a 3rd World Country and a Dictator. (no Trump has nothing to do with bring the charges, only Special Prosecutor Mueller does)
Will these actions stand? I doubt it. But whether they do or not will not prevent the charges that will be brought against the plotters who work in the DOJ and FBI who have actively tried to prevent a Presidential Candidate from winning and to remove an elected President of the U.S.
Never in the history of the US government has such a crime been committed by groups of Federal Government employees.
Yes, under the 8 years of the Obama-nation the rule of law has been horribly compromised in the US. Via a database system.
