Why is “poor judgment” always claimed, when everybody knows it was all done deliberately, and maliciously? "Poor Judgement" my ass.
Agree. It’s like all these politicians take “full responsibility for what happened.” Hillary Clinton took “full responsibility” for Benghazi so she ran for President. All the executives, politicians, and oversight took full “responsibility” for the subprime mortgage crisis but not one person was prosecuted and many made millions in bonuses. “After the incineration of children at a compound in Waco, Texas, U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno stated of the cause, ‘I made the decision, I’m accountable, the buck stops with me, and nobody ever accused me of running from a decision that I made based on the best information that I had. I don’t do spin stuff, and I’m not distancing anybody from anything. I’m telling you exactly what happened.’ And then? Nothing happened. Reno did not go to prison for the deaths of those children, nor for the deliberate lies told under oath. Nor did anyone else, other than the survivors of the attack. This pattern is repeated over and over. Common citizens may be fined, imprisoned, and even killed for disobeying, either willfully or mistakenly. Violation of a law, or even of an unlawful command, will yield merciless punishment for common citizens — and no repercussions at all for state officials. State officials are rarely held accountable for quite deliberate violations of the laws that govern them, or of the oaths they take to uphold them. That must be changed. Everyone must be accountable, and no one should be above the law.” Key phrase “that must be changed.”
