The Rule Of Law

Do we still believe in it?

Democrats don’t seem to. At least not as applied to them.

Whatever you think of Donald Trump, the election of Hillary Clinton will be a moral and legal catastrophe unprecedented in the history of our country from which it may never recover. Sound excessive? Think what you wish, but the fact of the matter is the USA will have an unindicted criminal as president and no one knows what the consequences will be.

With each passing day it becomes clearer the investigation of the Hillary Clinton email scandal was such a sham that it did far more than merely tarnish the reputations of the FBI and the Department of Justice. It distorted our legal system beyond recognition.

The FBI and Justice Department have apparently been used by one political party to keep the other out of power by covert manipulation of our system. That means these institutions have been turned on their heads into instruments of state oppression extraordinarily close to those used by totalitarian regimes.

There will come a point, if this continues, that only the Second Amendment will preserve the Republic. At this point, the best outcome would be the election of Donald Trump, and then removal via Article 2, Section 4. Or perhaps the 22nd Amendment.

Oopsie. Two “boxes” of Clinton emails unaccounted for. And why were they in boxes? Because for no explained reason, she printed them out, a format that can’t be easily searched, rather than simply handing over a thumb drive, which could. This is a massive cover up, in which the White House, the Department of State, and the Justice Department and the Clinton campaign all collaborated. It’s a much bigger deal than Watergate (particularly when combined with the continued IRS abuse and cover up). And the Democrats in the media can’t be bothered to care.

The Left’s attempts to silence dissenters will not end well. And I agree with Glenn: “I’m increasingly concerned that the neutralization of the Tea Party movement — an effort by both major parties — may have convinced a lot of people that civics-book style polite political participation is for chumps.”

They are sowing the wind.

America’s governing “elite” thinks that Americans are morons. Well, if we continue to allow them to run our lives, in some sense, we are. This will not end well.

The Rotten FBI Investigation

Thoughts from Austin Bay, and Andrew McCarthy.

I think that Comey and Lynch should be impeached. Both the Clintons and Obama corrupt everything they come in contact with.

[Tuesday-morning update]

What did Obama know, and when did he know it? It’s becoming pretty clear that in order to find her guilty (which she was and is) they would have also had to expose his guilt. And we still don’t know if there was contact between Lerner and the White House, because of the IRS cover up.

The FBI colluded with the Democrats and Team Clinton on the email “investigation.”

Without it, we might not have a terror problem at all.

My confidence in the FBI is pretty much zero at this point.

Speaking of the FBI, nothing that Comey says about the Clinton investigation makes any sense. Well, if you assume the fix was in from the beginning (as she told Brett Baier), it does.

From (Democrat, AFAIK) Jonathan Turley:

Of all of the individuals who would warrant immunity, most would view Mills as the very last on any list. If one assumes that there may have been criminal conduct, it is equivalent to immunizing H.R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman in the investigation of Watergate.

Why, it’s almost as though there was no intent to seriously investigate.

This is gangster government, and it will only get worse if she gets into the White House. At least Trump will be more likely to be reined in by Congress (perhaps even impeached and removed).

Good question, from a smart prosecutor: “What more would she have had to do to get you to prosecute her?”

Twenty-seven things we learned from them.

Most of which are indictable felonies. Including that Obama lied when he said he didn’t know that she had a private server. The question is, does the same pseudonym show up in emails to and from Lois Lerner? If so, it’s stronger evidence than they had to impeach Nixon.

Turning the FBI into the White House’s political pawn may be the worst thing about Obama’s legacy.

I’m old enough to remember when the White House was the FBI’s political pawn.
