Let us consider the facts.
Former President Bill Clinton meets clandestinely at the Denver airport for 30 minutes with attorney general Loretta Lynch. The official story is that they were discussing their grandchildren, but of course we also understand that it is completely improper for the AG to meet with Clinton since he and his wife are both under investigation for various forms of corruption. This meeting was supposed to be secret and is only revealed because a local reporter was in the right place at the right time.
Subsequently the DOJ files a motion to keep Hillary’s emails from public scrutiny until 2018, long after the election.
Hillary then speaks privately with the FBI over the weekend for about 3½ hours. It is also reported that she wants to keep Loretta Lynch as AG under a Clinton administration.
And finally the FBI director makes his announcement that Hillary will not be charged despite overwhelming evidence that she did break the law.
Can there be any doubt that the fix is in?
Keeping these facts in mind we turn our attention to this article from Townhall.com written by Kurt Schlichter which asks the obvious question; do we really have rule of law in this country any longer? The clear answer is no. We now live in a banana republic where there is one set of laws for the little people; that would be you and me. And for those who are rich, powerful and well-connected there are an entirely different set of rules under which you can do whatever you like to increase your wealth and power and no negative consequences will befall you.
Think about it. If you are out driving at 3 a.m., do you stop at a stop sign when there’s no one coming? Of course you do. You don’t need a cop to be there to make you stop. You do it voluntarily because this is America and America is a country where obeying the law is the right thing to do because the law was justly made and is justly applied. Or it used to be.
The law mattered. It applied equally to everyone. We demanded that it did, all of us – politicians, the media, and regular citizens. Oh, there were mistakes and miscarriages of justice but they weren’t common and they weren’t celebrated – they were universally reviled. And, more importantly, they weren’t part and parcel of the ideology of one particular party. There was once a time where you could imagine a Democrat scandal where the media actually called for the head of the Democrat instead of deploying to cover it up.
People assumed that the law mattered, that the same rules applied to everyone. That duly enacted laws would be enforced equally until repealed. That the Constitution set the foundation and that its guarantees would be honored even if we disliked the result in a particular case. But that’s not our country today.
The idea of the rule of law today is a lie. There is no law. There is no justice. There are only lies.
Hillary Clinton is manifestly guilty of multiple felonies. Her fans deny it half-heartedly, but mostly out of habit – in the end, it’s fine with them if she’s a felon. They don’t care. It’s just some law. What’s the big deal? It doesn’t matter that anyone else would be in jail right now for doing a fraction of what she did. But the law is not important. Justice is not important.
