I want you to tell me, without bursting into laughter, that I am still supposed to respect our federal law enforcement institutions. I keep hearing about these wonderful keepers of norms and rules and stuff deserve our awe, and then I see the tawdry, self-serving and scummy way they operate, and gee – there’s a disconnect. A big one. If the price of our society is submitting to these corrupt and incompetent people of garbage, well, then I say burn it all down.
That’s the only way to save it: to level it and start over.
Let’s review how our guardians of justice have covered themselves in glory in recent days. And by “glory,” I mean “Scat Francisco sidewalk sauce.”
The scumbag Democrat donors remaining in the Mueller lynch mob decided that Roger Stone, an absolutely harmless gadfly whose real crime was being aligned with Donald Trump and therefore with you, should be sent away for seven to nine years for “crimes” that the Department of Injustice promptly gave a pass on to the loathsome Andrew McCabe. This is the same institution that also gave a pass to Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit, Comey the Looming Doofus, and those fugly FBI sexting twins.
You would not get a pass.
Then, if possible, it got worse as the garbage Stone conviction was revealed to have been obtained with an anti-Trump Democrat activist as the jury foreperson. Think about that – an active partisan on the jury. The judge – wanna guess who appointed her? – refused to dump this partisan off the jury because of course, a Democrat candidate for office could be neutral and how dare you question the integrity of the system harrumph harrumph harrumph.
Please tell me more about rules and norms.
Stone’s lawyers are seeking a new trial, but they won’t get one because there is manifestly a dual-track system of “justice” and there will be a bunch of excuses and reasons and exclamations of “How dare you question the system’s integrity!” and, in the end, this manifest injustice will be okay because railroading political enemies of the establishment is not an aberration. It is an objective.
I could continue about Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn and that disgraceful persecution, and others, but this is a column and not a book.
Now, in a system where the kind of integrity our garbage federal law enforcement apparatus likes to pretend it possesses actually existed, Roger Stone’s lawyers would have arrived at federal court, new trial motion in hand, only to find the outraged prosecutors already there demanding – demanding – that the court vacate this fatally flawed conviction on their own motion. See, because the goal of the Department of Justice is justice, and…and…and…HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Sometimes I crack myself up. I’m hilarious.
I like Bill Barr. I think he wants to do the right thing. But he needs to spare us the clichés about the hard-working and honest DOJ staff because that’s not what we see. I trust Barr, but I trust my eyes more, and all I see issuing from his Department is a flow of raw sewage. And don’t tell me “But they convicted Avenatti!” because Avenatti was not a friend to the establishment. He was a threat, an uppity outsider who smarmed his way into position to potentially cut in the line for power. Yeah, the Democrats were totally broken up for him to be taken out.
I’d have fired the Mueller hind-sniffs who tried to set-up the president by recommending the seven-to-nine year stretch. Alternatively, I’d fire them just for that recommendation. It was absolute Schiff when rapists, thugs, and other Democrat constituents regularly coast out of court with much less time. Wait, I thought we had a non-violent convict incarceration crisis, but I guess that doesn’t apply to political crimes, the most serious crimes of all apparently. No, they won’t get fired. They will keep on ruining lives.
They have failed to meet the minimum standards for integrity. You owe them nothing, not obedience, respect, or assistance. Don’t give them any.
You have no reason to cooperate with any of them if they come asking you questions. You’re a fool to do so – they seek to harm you, so you should protect yourself. Stone is where he is because he foolishly chose to testify.
When a federal law enforcement asks you anything, repeat after me:
“I invoke my right to remain silent. Please stop asking me questions. I want my lawyer.”
“Uh, I was just asking you if there’s a coffee shop around here.”
“I invoke my right to remain silent. Please stop asking me questions. I want my lawyer.”
And when you are in court on a jury, and the prosecutor attempts to stand in the golden glow of the United States of America, remember what the prosecutors did to innocent people for daring to dissent and give that lawyer no credit or benefit of the doubt. Listen closely and carefully to the accused. There was a time when an accused claiming he was framed by the feds could be laughed off; now, you should consider it. Ask Ted Stevens – oh wait, he died after a corrupt conviction. Do not hesitate to acquit, because the Department of Justice has proven itself corrupt and dishonest.
“But, but, but, many hard-working, honest blah blah blah blah….”
Save it.
Who was the guy who went to jail for scores of wrongful convictions thanks to the FBI crime lab scandal?
Who is the guy who went to jail for lying about leaking stuff to hurt the Trump administration?
Who is the guy (or Chardonnay-swilling, cankle-having gal) who went to jail for using classified materials for his/her own personal agendas?
Nobody.
Nobody did because the law is not a neutral set of rules equally applicable to all but a weapon used by politicized bureaucrats to neutralize opponents.
You took your reputation and you used it as Charmin because you wanted your pals to win an election. And now we all know the truth and we know what you are.
You are not the enforcers of justice. You are the enforcers of a two-track system that excuses your pals and jams up your opponents.
So, what do we do? I mean, besides refuse to pretend any longer that the feds are Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., instead of seedy little crustaceans like Andrew McCabe or the hard-five sext twins?
Let Barr do his thing. Let Durham do his. I’m not going to Lucy and the football myself into believing that either one is definitely going to serve up the justice upon the Deep State derps that is the minimal requirement for beginning to rebuild the trust in federal law enforcement these hacks flushed away, but who knows? They might do something. In the meantime, we simply need to treat federal law enforcement as what it is: deeply corrupt and utterly untrustworthy.
The other thing is that the president needs to pardon Roger Stone, Mike Flynn, and the others caught up in the scummy attempt to criminalize dissent. And he should commute Paul Manafort’s sentence to time served. Time to use our power to do justice for those who are victims of injustice.
See, the stakes are high. A dual-track justice system is unsustainable in a free country. True, the Democrats behind these injustices don’t want a free country at all, but we do. If we tolerate these injustices, we won’t have one, and the bad guys are not going to like what happens next. This is how they got Trump. They have only gotten worse. Okay, well, more of this is how you get Caesar.
DOJ,CIA and FBI are compromised. the upper ranks need to be purged as well as their underling supporters
8 years of Clinton, 8 years of Bush and to really corrupt it 8 years of Obongo. When Clinton took over he fired EVERY US Attorney. Trump could have used that precedent, if he had it would be a different world.
“DOJ,CIA and FBI are compromised...”
From what I have read in the past, they are loaded with hardcore Rat supporters. If they cant be non partisan they don’t need the job.IMO
No need to clean up the DOJ. Just shut it down. The DOJ didn’t even exist until 1870, and I’ll venture to guess that 95% of its criminal cases involve matters that shouldn’t even be Federal crimes anyway.
Trump DID order the resignation of every U.S. attorney. It’s common practice in a new administration. The only two who were allowed to stay on were Rod Rosenstein and John Huber.

Kurt your one of my favorites, spot on, two thumbs up.
Where is the report? Its been almost a year since Mueller
report was reviewed by Barr prior to its announcement.
Its time to see people being held to account. I feel cheated, only Republicans needing lawyers and not one rat.
McCabe lied 4 times says IG, and they let him off. WtF
Bump
If that requires overlooking criminality, he might do that (some would say he already has) but if it requires pursuing the truth right into the courtroom, he would then do that.. Events will tell us.
Whatever Barr's motivation, if he fails to return a series of indictments he will go down in history as the Atty. Gen. who lost America the rule of law. Journalism will exempt him, history will not.
Absolutely
WHERE IN THE CONSTITUTION IS AUTHORITYFOR A NATIONAL POLICE FORCE GRANTED???
Start with FBI and go onto IRS, ATF and BLM
Now smoking in the boys room is federalized.
When all government ...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821
Are you sure? I don’t remember that. I do recall Bush fired a few and hell rained down on him. If you are correct it’s a shame he didn’t fire Rosenweasel too. Of course it was not known what a scheming little scumbag he was.
Does anyone think a jury in DC would find these deep swamp creatures guilty? Seems to me, the Stone, jury foreperson, would be the typical juror. Remember the Craig verdict?
Finally a voice of reason.
We don't have a justice system. We have a system of law that has as its first priority, defending and protecting itself.
The people in this system (judges and prosecutors are barely distinguishable) don't care if you respect it out of fear or out of a belief that is produces justice.
All of the people in the system will claim to be handing out justice. None will admit that the law is being abused.
Getting rid of the 100 or so "top players" in the non-violent sedition will not fix what is broken. It will drive it deeper and make it angry.
Congress is in on the scam. Congress created this monster, and Congress will defend it. After all, the law is the law.
Kurt and I have something in common. We both were toting guns during the L.A. riots in 92. I was defending my family and he was defending the rest of L.A.. Pitchforks and AR-15s are the only way this unjust justice system gets righted. It will get ugly and bloody. History proves that nothing is changed unless force is used.
I believe only about half the U.S. Attorneys were still there anyway (the others had already resigned). Rosenstein’s resignation was rejected because he had been appointed as Deputy AG and was awaiting confirmation. Huber’s resignation was accepted, but he was left in place on an interim basis because he was nominated again to fill the same position.
BURN IT DOWN!
