We've lost sight of the real scandal (Sharyl Attkisson)
The Hill ^ | 09/17/19 | Sharyl Attkisson

Posted on 09/17/2019 7:05:46 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

What will Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s latest investigation reveal? Will Congress hold hearings about it? Will former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe actually get indicted? After all, it’s said that a motivated prosecutor can “indict a ham sandwich” if he really wants to.

We’re so wrapped up in the daily tick-tock, we could be losing sight of a big picture that’s come into focus over the past two years. For the first time in our nation’s history, an inspector general — one appointed by President Obama — has determined that at least two men who sat in the top spot at the FBI committed multiple violations that warrant possible prosecution. That in itself is a scandal with national implications deserving of headlines, congressional hearings and promises to overhaul a broken system.

Of course, the complicating factor in the whole mess is that the government entities responsible for addressing any wrongdoing are the same ones inextricably tied to the alleged wrongdoing.

Just pointing out that if they were actually all that motivated by teenagers possibly being sexually abused they might have gotten around to having a little interest it Epstein’s Island. At least they finally did get out there even if it did take two decades. The point being when you are a rednecked moron in Texas they will kill you right away but when you are connected to presidents and princes not so much.

When one party controls the deep state, media, social media, education, and internet content they can do anything without consequence.

I still maintain Hellary Clinton ordered that fatal attack and got her homosexual lapdog, Janet Reno, to take the fall.

There was absolutely zero reason to have the FIB and ATF, with tanks yet, involved - it was pure murder of a religious group.

It found the National Security Agency (NSA) guilty of “institutional lack of candor” in its spying on U.S. citizens. The court also said the NSA’s practices raised serious constitutional issues. It sounds pretty serious but, as far as we know, the FBI pursued no investigation into any responsible officials. And after years of surveillance abuses well-documented by the FISC and others, FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to Congress that there have never been any.

Wray's a gullible useful idiot. He's not a criminal he's a fool.

So, as Americans wait to see if a shoe is about to drop in McCabe’s case, the adage about indicting a sandwich is true. But the calculus may be different when those in charge of indicting the sandwich are the same ones making it.

In short - are we already a police state AND don't know it? Or are we a police state and damn sure better understand what that means.

Well there's one more piece of it, Sharyl, the weaponizing of the IRS against political opponents.

As far as I know, Lois Lerner and that Koskigen Kreep, are happily out to pasture, living on their big, fat, government pensions.

And not only ihe IRS, but I bet Obama weaponized ALL the government bureaus and agencies.

We are a police state and we left the Constitution behind on Usurpation Day when both parties cooperated to violate the Constitution.

You don’t think both parties agreeing to put an ineligible usurper in office is the biggest scandal in history?

Koskinen wasn’t there for the original dirty tricks. They brought him in to cover up and play stupid. Just like Wray...
