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.
See my tag line. Orwell knew exactly who and what these people are.
And all the Second in Command’s were Obama holdovers some of whom stayed in power for many months up to a couple of years. Sessions screwed that up and RINOs like McConnell and Mccain are also to blame
Right. A lot of folks here on FR are ignorant about how these bureaucracies work. They somehow think the President can just fire someone and replace him/her in 10 minutes. That’s not how these agencies work. When Congress establishes a federal department, there are succession requirements built into the statute that establishes the department. Firing 90+ U.S. Attorneys simply means there will be 90+ deputies filling their former bosses’ roles temporarily. Why does everyone just assume that the deputies will be any better than the original ones?
Law enforcement personnel are entrusted with awesome powers. They can detain citizens and deprive them of their liberty. They can kill citizens with deadly force. They can take their property.
This awesome power must be used fairly. It isn’t, in every case. A prosecutor can send anyone to jail for life, or to the death chamber.
There are few politicians alive or dead who wouldn’t use this awesome power for their own ends. They are as guilty as the law enforcement personnel who abused their power, and need to go to prison for life, but won’t - the corrupt law enforcement system will not convict one of their own.
Mrs. Infool7 says
Any, ANY government pay
seven years max.
She doesn’t cap it at a dollar amount.
After you max out find something in the private sector.

A lot of the Political appointees of Obama at the Justice department were converted to Civil Service Employees before Obama left Office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This happened in all agencies, not just the Justice Department.
The Kenyanesian Usurper had eight long years to corrupt our ENTIRE government.
Because BOTH parties decided we did not need that natural born citizen requirement anymore.
Barr was the AG during Ruby Ridge.
Wake when barr & comp find out who murdered Epstein.
DOJ let McCabe slide on matters unrelated to the Russian investigation. If you read the IG report McCabe was involved with some arm twisting to get the original Carter Page FISA request approved. At that point, none of the Steele Dossier had been verified. McCabe also wanted to include it in the main body of January 6, 2017 intelligent report. Nothing had been verified by then either. A couple of weeks later a source for Steele was interviewed and said it was crap. The source was interviewed 2 more times and said it was crap, but FISA renewals continued.
I think what McCabe has to worry about is his involvement with the appointment of the special council. Rosenstein is a weasel but he had only been on the job for a few weeks. He is going to blame McCabe for his faulty decisions.
I didn’t know that, but it just reinforces my skepticism about him.
