-Lurid Crime Tales-
Mccabe, Stone, Vindman and The Two-Tiered Justice System on Full Display
2020-02-16
[American Thinker] This was not a banner week for the idea that justice is alive and blind in America.

Three separate stories converged to drive home the obvious truth that America has a two-tiered justice system: the Justice Department's decision to not indict the guilty-as-sin plotter Andrew McCabe, the attempt to give Roger Stone an outrageous jail sentence, and the Army's decision to shrug that one of its officers attempted to orchestrate the removal of his commander-in-chief.

Even in the unlikely scenario that the Barr-Durham investigations send the full stable of coup-plotters to jail for decades, it will not erase the obvious fact that it pays to be a Democrat if you are going to commit crimes, particularly if they are political.

There are a couple of simple reasons for this. The most obvious reason is that the entire federal bureaucracy is one giant Democrat machine. This cannot be repeated enough. Nearly every member of almost every single department is a Democrat.

How bad is it? Back in 2016, 95 percent of campaign contributions for the presidential race went to Her Royal Awfulness. The Justice Department overachieved, coming in at 97 percent.

Those are William Barr's employees, the ones who are cranking out the paperwork. Federal rules make it nearly impossible to fire any of these employees. When Barr gives direction, those 113K+ employees of his Department are the ones carrying it out in whatever creative, and often subversive, ways they can. They are the ones producing the staff work and recommendations that daily land on Barr's desk and in his inbox, if their directives even make it that far before being implemented.

#2  Draining the swamp takes time. First President Trump had to put in place judges and get through the Mueller investigation and impeachment farces, during which he accepted resignations/retirements throughout the bureaucracy and mostly did not replace them. Now he is starting to clear out entire swathes of moles, like the 70-something NSA analysts just returned to their home organizations and the four DOJ prosecutors who resigned about the Roger Stone sentence request.

There are plenty of crimes fo the criminals to be charged with, and the IG report and current investigations will provide the tools to do so.

#1  The big problems are: 1. The growing power of the unelected bureaucracy, 2. That 90% of this unelected bloc tend to vote Dem, 3. Civil service and unions make it impossible to fire government employees, 4. The recent use of impeachment as a political weapon by Dems to try to get rid of a POTUS you hate, 4. Reluctance to prosecute those who engage in espionage, sedition and treason, 5. Little recourse outside of elections to get rid of Congress members who plot, create false crimes and who lie before us to support these phony narratives.
