America Doesn’t Have A Justice System Anymore
Townhall.com ^ | March 4, 2020 | Kurt Schlichter

The good news is that you might get out of future jury duty, because when you are asked under oath about your own biases during a federal criminal case jury selection you would have to answer honestly by responding, “Your Honor, I don’t trust a damn thing anyone in the FBI says.”

If the heirs of Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., were to go up on the stand and testify, the recent disgraceful revelations about how their bosses tried to frame LTG Mike Flynn mean you would be entirely correct to grant them the same credibility as the dude caught wearing a black cape, a Lone Ranger mask, and a nametag that says “Willie Sutton” while tip-toeing out of First National carrying a big sack with a dollar sign on it as the alarm goes off.

Oh, and if an FBI agent asks if he can ask you some questions, try not to burst into laughter before you reply, “No, I assert my right to remain silent” and call your lawyer.

And this sorry state of affairs is all the FBI’s fault.

Every bit of it. At one time it was the pride of American law enforcement, a symbol of integrity, honesty and incredible courage under fire. But now when we think of the FBI in “action,” we think of a couple dozen special agents decked out in full Delta Farce chic dragging an elderly gadfly out of bed in his PJs after making sure to tip-off CNN that this high-risk op was about to go down.

Way to go, guys.

The FBI had an incredible legacy of honor and respect and took a giant Schiff on it.

Much like only socialism could make an island full of Cubans poor, or the Golden State a hellhole, only the choice of the liberal FBI leadership to go all in on using the power we entrusted them with to instead do the dirty work of the Democratic establishment could wreck the legacy of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Good job. Right now, J. Edgar Hoover is wrapped in a sleek black cocktail dress, turning over in his grave.

It’s all falling apart, the result of the dogged untangling of this abomination by super-lawyer Sidney Powell and a few actual journalists who have pieced together this grotesque conspiracy. Comey’s FBI decided that they didn’t like the American people’s choice for president so they lied and cheated to spy on him and his campaign, collaborated to spray him and his administration with a golden shower of lies that they knew were lies, and then, when all that failed, decided to try to set-up an innocent man to be fired or tossed in prison for the crime of being in the opposite political camp.

My favorite part is how those bastards were so arrogant that they wrote all this down, like a Bond villain who casually explains his entire plan to 007 because he’s positive that the spy is just moments away from being taken away and killed by his henchmen. And it worked out just as well in real life.

Until Attorney General Barr forced them too, the FBI hid the FBI document that said the FBI was trying to set him up even though the Constitution requires that any potentially exculpatory evidence be turned over to the accused. But hey, I guess laws and rules and stuff only exist to be used against the enemies of the elite and its agents. For the elite, they are mere guidelines. And, of course, when they break them it is no biggie. That looming doofus James Comey handed off classified material to his pals to leak to the media. You’d go to jail, but he gets tongue-bathed by the lib media. Andrew McCabe chooses to lie again and again in an investigation. Oh well, the IG is going to write a stinging report about his naughtiness. That’ll teach him. Telling lies under oath to the FISA court? Don’t do it again *wink wink*.

But those guys are special. You and the people who agree with you politically aren’t. That’s why the FBI leadership conspired to maneuver LTG Flynn into a crime that isn’t a crime – “perjury” is a crime only if the statement is material to an investigation of a crime and here there was admittedly no crime to investigate – and why they insist that he’s got to do time. Who cares if he is a 33-year veteran of our nation’s wars? LTG Flynn should have guaranteed himself immunity by being a skeevy bureaucratic hack or an illegal alien.

And let’s not forget the crimes of the Mueller gang, that team of consummate pros that we were dutifully informed by the rump-bussing media was made up of the bestest and the brightest of American law enforcement. It was not bad enough that they threatened to prosecute of LTG Flynn’s son on false charges to coerce a guilty plea and cooperation again Trump, et. al. No, they then hid the fact that they made this promise to LTG Flynn by not putting it in the plea agreement as mandated by law. That way, as honest ex-prosecutor Andrew McCarthy figured out, they ensured that when they put LTG Flynn up to testify against a someone from Trumpworld, maybe even the president himself, the jury would never know the real reason LTG Flynn pleaded guilty – that he was forced to protect his family from false charges. They did this intending to lie to future juries.

For us, this would be obstruction of justice and other crimes. For them, it will be nothing. The liberal elite will celebrate their aggressive protection of the elite status quo, the garbage media will nod in approval at their innovative dissident-removal strategy, and they will never, ever be prosecuted.

Sorry folks, none of them will ever see a day in jail. I hope I am wrong. I hope William Barr and John “Mind Flayer” Durham will see that these criminals are prosecuted for these outrageous crimes. But I don’t believe it will happen. Our justice system is really two justice systems, one for them and one for us, which means that we have no justice system at all.

That’s more than just galling. It’s poisonous. A free society cannot exist like this long and remain a free society. These people, who we trusted with the most solemn of duties, betrayed their oaths and betrayed us for grubby political advantage. This was not done for some higher purpose. It was not some misguided pursuit of justice by frustrated public servants who were willing to bend some rules to right some wrongs. These people were serving only themselves and their self-interest, hoping that when they brought down the Republican administration the American people elected, they would personally benefit from the largesse of the Democratic administration that replaced it.

They are worse than the gangsters the FBI became famous chasing. These disgraces, who frame political opponents, pretended to be public servants upholding their oaths while their criminal treachery served only their cheesy ambition. At least Willie Sutton was honest enough to admit (perhaps apocryphally) that he robbed banks because “That’s where the money is.”

The anti-American global socialist deep state, was willing to act in a real foreign conspiracy, (3 Kremlin ops persons involved in DNC/HRC paid Steele “Russian dossier”), and to frame as criminal innocent men, strip them of all they had, separate them from their families, and throw them in solitary confinement, just to frame another innocent man, and carry out a very real and criminal Coup d’etat against a Constitutionally and lawfully elected president they were not going to accept.

Simply put, morality and character are fundamentally prerequisite to the existence of real recourse against evil and injustice (tyranny), or liberty dies, period.

The truth is, these who are guilty, would have never been caught, and no left-wing global socialist patron or advocate would now be forced to admit or change course on anything, if HRC had been elected. No left-wing global socialist reporter, no academic, no student, no politician, and no left-wing constituency.

Being that horrific, (end of free nation type) crimes were actually committed against our liberty and nation by global socialists, it still would not have at all meant their crimes didn’t happen, in the event the crimes would have been burried.

The social and economic marxist and anti-American globalists would simply be partying over our dead Constitution and long sought subjugation to highly corrupt global socialist governance right now.

This horrific treasonous and seditious criminal activity is only coming out now, because literally, just a handful of good men, are in the right place.

And that is only because God intervened to cause the DNC to somehow get confused and miscalculate its massive needed fraudulant vote count buffers in 2016.

Unfortunately, even if some of these are punished to the max, which is called for against treason, (but is yet not likely today, because nearly half of society are now principled socialists and communists, and it could wreck the life-long political curriers of some), the IC agency entrenched social marxist and global socialist, will have only learned to be more careful when they do it again the next time.

The immoral are either blind to immorality because they have killed their conscience, and/or purely evil individuals seeking to pervert and defile the innocent — and love of God, morality, and character, have not increased in America.

This is why we are here now, and every election is now a war, and a decision between liberty and tyranny.

We are literally only “the next” election from the formal death of all Constitutional liberty.

Even with a very strong president like Trump, we have constantly been on the very edge of America as we believed it to be, and the abyss.

Through careless compromise, moral, historical, and economic illiteracy, and being motivated with the desire for no conflict (at all cost) with the left, this is how much ground, leverage, and how deep we have allowed the anti-American left to become entrenched in their authority over agencies of governance.

That being said, I expect it is now likely some on the left will temporarily shift their rhetoric to more moderate tones, in order to deceive and remain in public offices.

In fact, going forward, it would be foolish not to expect a few hard core globalists and social marxist leftists, to now cloke themselves in more pro-American positions, and act and run to the right of some moderate positions, to either stay in power, or even gain previously unheld elected public offices.

To the immoral seeking control over society, the immorality of deception is merely an insignificant means to an end, of gaining power and control over the electorate.

The worst villains in this whole fiasco are the press - I’ve said it before and I’ll say it until I’m blue in the face.

The Democrats and the Elites in general are as venal as can be; all they care about is power, and they’ll do whatever they can get away with to maintain and increase that power. Some people see that, and some people don’t - and those that don’t vote for them and support them. But the key thing is they’ll only do what they can as long as they can fool their support base. And they can only fool those sheep because the press is complicit.

The mainstream press should have one overriding focus, and that’s to report the truth. And in this Flynn business the truth is impossible to miss if one has any interest at all in looking for it. But that’s not the goal of the press - their only interest is their agenda. I fully expect the Democrats to always and everywhere look out for themselves, which means to sequester power whenever and however they can - I don’t excuse that, but I expect it. The mainstream press, however, has totally abdicated their professional responsibilities - they’re now no more than pathetic shills for the criminal enterprise called the Democrat party.

Yours is a very good post with which I wholly agree. I would not detract from the quoted portion above but would simply add to it:

The left rationalizes its grotesqueries by changing the predicate, sweeping it away and substituting their own version of reality. Once that is accomplished, Saul Alinsky style, their conclusions are irresistible if not inevitable. For example, if what they propose is clearly unconstitutional they sweep away the Constitution as a guiding norm because it is racist and substitute a new paradigm, "equity."

Once this is accomplished, illegality in pursuit of equity is quite moral rather than immoral. Yes they have killed their conscience, but they have also perverted their worldly sin as logic and virtue.

The FBI could have stopped numerous Islamic terrorist attacks, but did not.

The same FBI bent over backwards, broke every rule, lied, deceived and conspired to destroy Trump.

You act as if the mainstream press is some kind of outside institution that is designed to look at things objectively. That is simple false. The mainstream press is the propaganda arm of the same corporate globalist movement that runs the Democratic Party.

If you’re old enough, you might remember when the FBI actually started to deteriorate. It didn’t start with Cardinal Comey, he just gave it the final, big shove over the cliff, ran down and poured gasoline on the wreckage.

Prior to the 70s, there was an old chestnut that you knew the G-men were watching you because you couldn’t see them. Which is what Kurt is saying, they were the essence of decorum. They were respected and feared. The Efraim Zimbalist Jr reference is about an old TV show, *The FBI*, that was wildly popular.

In the 1970s, hijacking commercial airliners became all the rage. I recall some of them demanding to go to Cuba, as perplexing as that may be.

Nobody had a good plan for handling the hijackers. The FBI started their unhingement process. Instead of silent, but deadly, they were doing crazy s**t like shooting at the wheels of planes. They looked ridiculous.

I was too young to put it all together, but, suffice to say that the FBI that Cardinal Comey destroyed was already damaged.

No. It started way before the Obama years. Our big infiltration started right after WWII.

It started with FDR. Harry Dexter White, the father of the global economic system (father of the IMF and World Bank) was a Soviet agent. He was the assistant Secretary of the Treasury (actually Secretary due to Morgenthau’s incompetence). He helped staff many government agencies with Communists.

When justice isn’t applied equallly, anarchy rules. Then Murphy’s Law comes into play; namely “the guy with the biggest gun wins.”

Think vigilantes, regulators,etc.

‘Principled socialists? Is that not an oxymoron?

I do notice that the left keeps trying to slap lipstick on The Bride of Frankenstein and turn her into a trophy wife. Hence, the nonsensical claptrap being spouted, like “Democratic socialism is COMPLETELY different from Marxist socialism.”

I keep asking them to relieve me of my ignorance and explain the differences. To date, no takers.

One important thing we must all do is read M Stanton Evans’ book, *Blacklisted by History*. It’s the truth about Senator Joe McCarthy, which every conservative should know. None of us should ever use that name as an invective.

The book also lays out, with good sourcing and precision exactly how the communist infiltration of America began and progressed. Mandatory reading. At least once.

In the 1960s, if you accused someone of being a *communist*, you became an object of ridicule. Today, *communism* is openly embraced. Thank Bill Ayers and a teachers’ union.

Most of you are probably too young to recall Kruschev’s prediction about *without firing a shot.*. Some of the grownups of that era were well aware that he was on to something. They just had no activism in them.
