Very well-stated. We don’t elect individuals to get angry...we want them to act.

There is no rule of law or anything that resembles justice. The un-representatives do nothing and laugh at you behind your back. Yet, you tolerate this and your children will suffer for your inaction.

I support the sentence.
A honest sentence would have satisfied those on the right that the ‘playing field’ was truly level.
This slap on the wrist by a fellow ‘swamp thing’ will help more people realize how corrupt Washington really is, including the judiciary branch.
Hopefully he spends the balance of his life ‘looking over his shoulder’...

In a just world the judge’s comments would justify an appeal of the judge’s sentence. Federal sentencing guidelines should specify that loss of a federal job by a person committing a crime is not punishment for that crime.

The judge of the Watergate burglars sentenced them very heavily and the efforts to silence them help reveal the conspiracy. The same should have happened with Clinesmith.

“The judge said Clinesmith had suffered the loss of a well-paying job and a career in government service.”

Too bad if I say anything, and he’s tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail or something, they’ll say I incited it, and impeach me before I can even become POTUS, if ever. Otherwise, I would say ‘go for it!,’ but since I don’t want to get preemptively, contingently impeached, I won’t say that.

“At some point people are going to catch on.”

And do what? Not vote? That would be just what they want. Come for them all with pitch forks and torches? They can call it an armed insurrection and order the National Guard to shoot, and then they might get a hotel room and extra pay. Vote? Dominion will make sure that your votes are counted creatively. So what to do?

4. Revelation 18

When the US swallowed the poison pill of abortion in '73, I believe our fate was sealed. In a jubilee from that year, America as a nation will more than likely be joining the millions we've murdered...that's just how God works.

Steele’s Dossier Source Was a Suspected Russian Spy
Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review, Sept 26, 2020
In an effort to depict Donald Trump as if he were in an espionage conspiracy with the Kremlin, the Obama administration used bogus information, from a man the FBI suspected was an actual Russian spy”
It turns out that Igor Danchenko, the man the FBI suspected of being an actual Russian spy, initially provided the bogus information about the American, Carter Page, through a former British spy, Christopher Steele.
Through a couple of cut-outs, Steele had been retained by the Clinton campaign to dig up — or, alas, to make up — Russian dirt on Trump. Through his private intelligence business in London, Steele was known to be working for Russian oligarchs, while Danchenko was on Steele’s payroll.

That is, the Clinton campaign, and ultimately the Obama administration, colluded with Russians for the purpose of accusing Donald Trump of . . . yes . . . colluding with Russians.”
—Andrew C. McCarthy, National Review, Sept 26, 2020

So what? So did Aldrich Ames.

Sounds like this judge is on the Russian payroll- the Russians did partially fund the opponents of the DAP :

Uncertainty over the Dakota Access Pipeline’s future has oil producers in ‘holding pattern’
hotair.com ^ | 7/29/2020 (1701 edt) | John Sexton
Posted on 7/29/2020, 7:13:19 PM by rktman

The Dakota Access Pipeline is the major means used to transport oil produced in the Bakken region of North Dakota to an existing pipeline in Illinois which can take the oil to Texas and the Gulf of Mexico. Earlier this month a judge ordered the Dakota Access Pipeline to cease operating so that a new environmental review, which could take a year or more, could be conducted. Fortunately, the U.S. Court of Appears for the District of Columbia has issued a stay of that ruling, at least while the appeals court reviews it.
