Clarice Feldman: The Machinery of Government is Coated with Gunk
American Thinker ^ | 6 Aug, 2023 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 08/06/2023 4:12:54 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The juxtaposition of the Department of Justice’s handling of Hunter Biden with its outrageous treatment of Donald J. Trump justifies Scott Adams's view: "We can now see all of the machinery of government, from influence peddling to fake news to intel-supported hoaxes to political persecutions.” Diving even deeper, as have Jonathan Turley, James Freeman, Dan Bongino, and David Samuels, it’s beginning to look as if Barack Obama knew of Hunter’s corruption and the danger it posed to national security and did nothing about it. In exchange, he’s serving a third term as president behind the scrim while the demented present officeholder serves as a front.

Giving Hunter a pass does more than underscore the Administration’s double standard, it explains why the Democrats worked so tirelessly to weaken 2020 election procedures to advance to the highest office a man demonstrably unfit to carry out its duties: They had him on a short rope -- he either ceded the powers of office to Obama or Hunter’s illicit dealings would land both Hunter and him in jail.

The Latest Indictment of Trump

The latest indictment of Trump -- I believe there have been three in the past four months -- is not only clearly political, designed to obstruct his campaign, but it is seriously flawed as a legal matter. Reams have been published on this point, but I think the most complete is that of Will Scharf. I’ll summarize his key points but urge you to read it all.

The charges depend on Trump’s state of mind and “proving the requisite intent on the part of Trump and his alleged co-conspirators on all of these charges is likely impossible, at least in front of a fair jury in a fair courtroom.” More troubling is that “Jack Smith’s theory of the case necessarily requires criminalizing...

I would not be surprised to find out that Dear Leader Zer0 is directing all of this.

Witness Biden DOJ’s coddling the dissolute wastrel Hunter
juxtaposed w/ its outrageous nonsensical treatment of Trump.

We, the people, who finance Biden’s desecration of govt,
can now see all of the intricacies of Biden’s criminal MO,
advanced by his jerry-built government,
<><>Biden’s get rich quick influence peddling
<><>made-up fake news
<><>far out intel-supported political hoaxes
<><>political persecutions of anyone who dares get in the way.

All of it proves what we have known to be true:
the filthy rich Barack Obama knew of Hunter’s corruption
and the danger it posed to Americans’ safety and security
and did nothing about it b/c he profited by it.

His lavish post-presidential lifestyle is proof positive.

Truth is, Bobaba is serving a third term as president behind
the scenes while the demented present officeholder serves
as a decrepit transparent frontman.

FTA-—Biden’s latest indictment of Trump is seriously flawed
as a legal matter. Reams have been published on this point,
but the most complete is Will Scharf summarized here.

The flawed Biden charges comically depend on Trump’s state of mind-——
“thought crimes” usually prosecuted in the third world.

Proving the legally required “intent” by Trump and his
alleged co-conspirators is likely impossible, at least
in front of a fair jury in a fair courtroom.”

The charges depend on Trump’s state of mind and “proving the requisite intent on the part of Trump and his alleged co-conspirators on all of these charges is likely impossible, at least in front of a fair jury in a fair courtroom.”

More troubling is that scofflaw Jack Smith’s braindead
theory of the case necessarily requires criminalizing
political speech, a core protection of the First Amendment.

A better word for "Gunk" is "Treason."

Absolutely he is HMFIC of the Shadow Government, and Valerie Jarrett is his VP. I wondered if Hillary Clinton is starting to try to Wedge him a bit, though. There is a book that is a dynamite expose on Obama called “Rising Star”, by David Garrow, which was published in 2017. It was totally suppressed and sold only a few hundred copies, and now it is exploding and being touted by all of the Conservative Talkies. Why was it buried for 6 years and now is ‘coming of age’? Ony the Deep State can control like that, and someone chose to allow it to flourish at this time. The only one I could think of was Hillary Clinton, who is smart enough to exact revenge on Obama for several issues and might be fearful of Michelle Obama becoming President.

I fully believe he is. He knows that the fundamental transformation of America has some difficult things to sell and having Biden be the face of them suits him, while he stays beloved.

I would have said, “slime,” but I see your point.

I believe that barry knew about biden’s corruption when biden was VP. If he knew and did nothing about it, it’s not much of a stretch to think he was getting a cut of the payoffs. If “the big guy” is mentioned in this context, would the average person think POTUS or VP?

"Treasonous slime" and "Slimy traitors" are good, too!
