It's not like it was something we didn't already know.
But what the FBI and Special Counsel Robert Mueller's did to President Trump's former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is fresh proof that there are two kinds of justice operating in the Washington swamp.
One kind - the mean, devious, throw-the-book-at-'em kind - is used for prosecuting Donald Trump and his people.
The other kind of justice - the nice, easy-going, so-what kind - is used for not looking into the law-breaking email fiascos of Hillary and the financial fishiness of the Clinton Crime Syndicate.
Hillary continues to skate free, unbothered by the FBI or any federal agency for the dirty things she and the Obama administration's injustice department did during the 2016 election to try to defeat Donald Trump.
But not General Flynn.
His life was ruined by the FBI bosses who set out to nail him - and did.
Comparing transcripts from phone wiretaps, the FBI caught Gen. Flynn lying about what he said in a phone call with former Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak in December of 2016.
Flynn's terrible crime - a single count of lying to an FBI agent in 2017 - obviously had nothing to do with the Trump election team colluding with the Russians, mainly because there was no collusion.
Flynn eventually pled guilty.
But this week Flynn's lawyers alleged that the FBI had essentially tricked Flynn into not having a lawyer present when he was interviewed in his White House office by two agents.
U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan, who's overseeing Flynn's case, has turned the tables on the FBI. Smelling a rat, no doubt, Sullivan has ordered Mueller's office to turn over all the documents it has from Flynn's FBI interview.
We can hope that Sullivan shames Mueller for his prosecutorial abuse and decides that the FBI interfered with Flynn's constitutional right to counsel.
In the meantime, the harm done to Flynn can never be undone or repaid.
Though Mueller the Merciful has recommended that he get no prison time, the general was forced to sell his home and went bankrupt defending himself.
What happened to Gen. Flynn is a textbook example of our country's two-tiered system of justice - one for Trump and Republicans and one for the Clintons and Democrats.
The time, money and energy spent prosecuting - and persecuting -- Flynn also shows just how deranged the hatred of Donald Trump has become.
The liberals, the media, the Democrats and the Deep State partisans in the FBI and other government agencies are willing to drop napalm on anyone connected with President Trump.
Trump's enemies can never accept that he beat Hillary fair and square. They can never accept that some Swamp outsider with his crude style, populist politics and low morals is "their" president.
To get rid of Trump, or his political power, they'll use whatever it takes - from phony charges of Russian collusion to fake moral outrage over an alleged affair he had with a porn star long before he was president.
Trump's enemies say that if we knew about Stormy Daniels and the other women in 2016 we wouldn't have voted for him.
BS.
Trump supporters knew the kind of man they were voting for. They accepted it. They knew anything was better than four years of President Hillary.
The bottom line, which liberals can never see, is that Trump's supporters don't care what he did with Stormy Daniels or what he paid her or anyone else he had sex with to keep quiet.
I don't care about Stormy Daniels or Trump's other sexual flings, either. I don't even care if he slept with my gardener. As long as he didn't sleep with Hillary, I'm good.
[No one has ever given up more to lead our country. He could be enjoying a life of ease and comfort instead of dealing with attacks from the ugliest hate groups in America. His own party has obstructed his programs and his pledges to his supporters.}
I so agree! He could be playing golf in the sunshine... and enjoying life. He didn’t have to do this.. he could decide to leave... but he seems to be looking at 2020. I have thought God saw something in him that we needed to save our country.. but the price has been steep for him.
I look at David in the Bible. He committed some terrible mistakes. He should have been banned... but God saw in David, qualities that mattered.. and He used David in spite of all he did.
I think the qualities in Trump are the ones needed... his attributes are what keeps him going. He didn’t plan on being in politics.. or becoming the President.. he lived a life of the rich playboy... I don’t care what he did before.. I look at what he can do and what he gives..
He’s not ashamed to have prayer. He stands for the flag, he salutes the military, he honors the vets, he considers Israel as important.. Now that is a good conservative who believes in God ... and the left don’t agree with any of that.
I researched him early on... he has a record of giving to others. He cares for the average Joe. He knows how to do a job right and under budget. He is confident enough to, SOMEHOW, let all the bad press roll off his back as much as possible. Most elite men can’t. Most of those elite gossipers who lambast him every day, couldn’t handle what they dish out.
. but the price has been steep for him.
Trump is having fun and is getting younger as he is president.
We all had better get started now to get our President reelected it would be a travesty for him to get defeated he’s a proud man and if defeated he will be labeled as a fraud now I know they call him that anyway but as long as he wins its don’t matter what they say
I’ve never seen so many Leftist zombies intent on destroying the U.S.A. and from within.

Since the Trump Curse just hit the Weekly Standard (actually The Weakly Standard), you’d think they’d get a clue that style is NOT more important than substance. You’d think that and you would be wrong.
It’s Junior high school with real power.
but the price has been steep for him.***
Yes it has. The mark of a man is how he handles difficulty.. I continue to marvel at his endurance.
He will come out of all this an even stronger man than when it started.
The problem with the anti Trumpers, they have not had enough adversity in their lives to show them what is important and what is just chaff. They have had it too comfortable.
The only way I’d believe it is if I saw them walk into the jail shackled.
This farce has gone on too long.
If I remember correctly, Trump is president. I’m not sure any more since he can’t seem to enact an executive order without some unelected federal judge setting it aside and the justice department that supposedly works for him seems intent upon setting aside the election that made him president. I love the guy but he needs to start exercising some of that power that we the people gave him when we elected him president. Start firing people until the ones you have left are loyal to you. This constant farce is making the nation ungovernable, for the good of the country it has to end.
Fire these infiltrators and dare the house to impeach you. They probably will, that’s OK, the senate won’t convict because these two years of unending investigations have turned up absolutely NOTHING. Bill Clinton was impeached and he was actually guilty of the charges but he didn’t get convicted and the republicans paid a heavy price for it. Let the democrats do it, they’ll soon find out how good of an idea it was when the next election rolls around.
The rats sure didn’t like it when we brought up Obama’s illegal acts. Trump hasn’t even committed a crime!
