As the fabric of society crumbles beneath our feet, and our land descends into anarchy and violence, it’s only natural that we should seek out those responsible for the chaos.  We don’t have to look far.  As Cassius once pointed out to Brutus, “the fault is not in our stars but in ourselves.”  And as Pogo once observed, “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”  For about 50 years, we’ve undermined our educational system by putting it into the hands of people who reject Western culture. “You reap what you sow” is a familiar saying that is known in many cultures.  Hindus and Buddhists use it to describe their concept of “karma.”  There are many references in the Bible.  Two of them are particularly pertinent to recent events.  Proverbs teaches that, “Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity.”  The book of Hosea is more to the point.  “For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.”  Three months ago, the United States was the strongest, richest and most successful republic in the world; conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all Men are created equal.  We had peace, prosperity and order, and every expectation that things would only get better.  Thanks to the Chinese communists, the Wuhan virus arrested our commerce, and put an end to prosperity.  Then, a rogue cop in Minnesota killed George Floyd, and peace and order went the way of prosperity.  Overnight, the America that respected the rights of all minority groups became a systematically racist nation, conceived in slavery and dedicated to the genocide of the black race.  The fact that it’s all lie isn’t important.  With the complicity of the corrupt media, we were told that America must change.  You mean, change the training of police officers to reduce the number of already rare examples of police misconduct?  No.  You mean expedite the prosecutions of the Minnesota cops in the Floyd case?  No.  Because this is not about civil rights and it’s not about George Floyd.  It never was.  It’s about timing.  It’s about forces that seek to transform America from the land of the free and the home of the brave, into the land of the serf and the home of the slave.  It’s about groups that hate capitalism, and want to replace it with a totalitarian dictatorship, for the good of “the people,” of course.  That such a regime goes against everything America has ever stood for is immaterial.  That such regimes have only wrought death and destruction has been ignored.  That the driving forces of such change, Antifa and Black Lives Matter, are dedicated not to harmony, but to violence, has been overlooked.  Not that they’re hiding their plans.  BLM wants to disrupt the Western notion of the nuclear family.  That’s already done wonders for black families, so let’s make it worse. They want to overthrow capitalism.  They want to overthrow Western civilization, and they must destroy America to do so.  So disband the police, do away with property ownership, and redistribute all wealth.  Antifa has similar goals.  They only differ as to who runs the Marxist workers’ paradise when the smoke clears.  As much as I oppose Antifa and BLM, I understand them.  They’re revolutionaries, and they can profit from tearing down America.  The question is why politicians, corporations and leftist billionaires are giving aid and comfort to the revolutionaries.  I mean, putting Black Lives Matter in charge of police policy is like appointing KKK Robert Byrd the head of the NAACP.  Tempers are running hot, I get that.  Weaklings are always in pursuit of the “PC” flavor of the month, and they dare not express an independent thought for fear of being accused of racism.  That’s why PC doesn’t stand for political correctness, but for political cowardice.  They live in fear, and now they must comply.  Antifa’s “silence is violence” is a totalitarian slogan demanding compliance that comes right out of the Soviet playbook.  You either bend your knee and submit, or you’re denounced.  Think the “protestors” want a better relationship with the police?  Think again.  Marc Lamont Hill is a Marxist political contributor at CNN.  He says, “Stop taking pictures with the police.  When you’re at a protest march, don’t let the police take a knee with you.  Our goal right now is to abolish police.  It’s to completely reimagine our social order.”  That’s fine for a revolutionary, but what about the corporations and billionaires?  Maybe they’re just buying time.  Winston Churchill described an appeaser as one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.  That’s a dangerous game.  And what about the Democrats, denizens of the Deep State all?  How do they profit from revolution?  That’s the conundrum I’m struggling with.  Who’s using who?  The revolutionaries want to destroy the State, and the Democrats are the State, so why are they working together?  Why are donations to Black Lives Matter being funneled to the Democrat Party?  Are the Democrats and their leftist billionaire donors so determined to remove Donald Trump, that they will risk the destruction of the very establishment that they live to perpetuate?  Clearly, the Democrats and their supporters think that they can defeat Trump, then go back to business as usual, i.e., “tax, spend and steal.”  Clearly, they believe they can use Antifa and BLM for their purposes, and then control them after the election.  The German establishment said the same thing about Hitler in 1933.  It did not end well.  I doubt that the revolutionaries will go quietly.  They are calling the tune.  They have the political and corporate world terrified, and bowing to their demands.  The revolutionaries have armies of ignorant youth, mindlessly chanting their slogans, and engaging in violence. (More about that next Friday).  At some point, probably when they start coming over the walls of the homes of Oprah, Labron, Barbra Streisand, and Bill Gates, to redistribute their wealth, enough will be enough.  But by that time, it will be too late.  How many more people have to die, and how much more property must be destroyed before we put an end to this insanity?   By seeking to appease the mob, we have sown the seeds of our destruction.  Unless some people in authority grow some balls, denounce the mob, and make clear that the remedy for America’s ills is evolution and not revolution, we will reap the whirlwind.

Here in the insane asylum that used to be the United States of America, we’ve been in the thrall of Marxist groups like Antifa and Black Lives Matter since the killing of George Floyd on May 25.  These groups advocate the violent overthrow of our government, and a radical restructuring of society.  They’re being aided and abetted by two factions: Democrat elected officials and the media – loony leftists who owe their existence to the freedoms guaranteed by the very government that the Marxists they’re supporting are determined to destroy.  Somehow, these imbeciles either don’t think or don’t understand that, should Antifa and BLM successfully destroy America, they will be the first to go.  Antifa and BLM have no apparent connection.  One is run by white international communists, and the other by black activists.  However, both groups share common goals.  BLM’s demands mirror those of Antifa:  Disarm & defund the police;  End curfews and road closures, withdraw the National Guard; Allow the free redistribution of goods from damaged businesses; Drop all charges and cease investigations; and the right to protest & grieve however they feel necessary.  In short, the right to steal, kill, loot and burn as they see fit, without consequences.  Their plan doesn’t create a new America, just a larger Somalia, where local war lords control the streets.  Contrary to the fever dreams of deluded leftists, the revolution doesn’t end in Thomas More’s Utopia, but in Thomas Hobbes’ “state of nature,” in the “the war of every man against every man,” where life is “cold, solitary, nasty, brutish and short.”  Both Antifa and BLM are exploiting the guilt of liberals for their purposes.  Antifa is channeling Charles Manson’s “Helter Skelter” plan to foment a race war.  BLM is equally bellicose.  Should they succeed, they’d inevitably have to fight one another to decide who gets to rule the rubble.  It’s stunning that, in four months, we went from the greatest economy ever to Wuhan-induced depression and armed insurrection.  As I noted last week, the timing of the riots was no coincidence.  The murder of Floyd was the catalyst, and a good cause for protest, but once all the cops were charged with murder, what’s their agenda?  Revolution.  And revolution based on a lie.  “America suffers from systemic racism.”  That’s a lie.  There are isolated racist acts to be sure, but not systemic racism.  No country on Earth is more concerned with the rights of minorities than America.  Yet Democrats parrot this lie every day, seemingly without understanding that, if it was true, they’re the ones to blame, not Donald Trump.  I heard Andrew Cuomo say “systematic racism” just the other day.  Hey Andy, you’ve been Governor nearly 10 years and were Attorney General before that.  You just found out the system was racist?  Biden, Pelosi and Schumer all say it.  Collectively, they’ve been in office 116 years (44+33+39).  They are “the system,” so they must be racist.  Il Duce Obama says he’s against racism.  In 8 years as President, what did he do to improve the lives of minorities?  Zero.  For 50 years or more, Democrats have run all the major cities where BLM is crying “racism.”  Unable to perceive irony, they now embrace the lie of systemic racism.  Once upon a time, we adhered to the words of John 8:32, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”  Not anymore.  Today, if you speak the truth, the truth will get you fired.  Candace Owens was barred from Go Fund Me for supporting a restaurant owner who dared call George Floyd a “thug.”  Make no mistake.  Whatever his past, George Floyd was a murder victim.  He didn’t deserve to die.  But I don’t want any of my readers to get into trouble, so whatever you do, never say that Floyd had a criminal record, including for an armed home invasion in Texas.  It’s true, but unspeakable.  It’s equally true that when you destroy buildings, people lose their jobs, neighborhoods deteriorate and lives are ruined.  But don’t say it.  The editor of The Philadelphia Inquirer had to resign for the crime of permitting the headline “Buildings Matter, Too” to appear in the paper.  Oh, and never permit others to offer a different opinion.  The New York Times opinion editor was fired for publishing an op-ed by Senator Tom Cotton, supporting the use of the military to end rioting.  And whatever you do, never, ever suggest that “all lives matter.”  An NBA announcer did that and was summarily fired.  So get that straight.  All lives don’t matter.  The sick joke is that Democrats are supporting Marxist revolutionaries for one purpose – to get rid of Donald Trump, of whose “tone” they disapprove.  Yet they’re unconcerned about the tone of Black Lives Matter.  This from a BLM member on June 6, “Today, I’m leading a demonstration from Barclay’s Center at 6 PM to City Hall, and that’s the first stop – and we’re hoping DeBlasio and Cuomo come out and talk to us and give the youth some direction.  But if they don’t, the next stop is the (predominantly Jewish run) Diamond District.  And gasoline, thanks to Trump, is awfully cheap.”  Okay, we’ve established that Jewish lives don’t matter.  BLM likes to chant, “pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon,” so we know police lives don’t matter.  But what about black lives?  Do all black lives matter?   Apparently not.  Three come to mind.

Patrick Underwood was a federal law enforcement officer in Oakland, until a rioter shot him in the head and killed him.  BLM isn’t upset.

77 year old David Dorn was shot and killed by rioters in St. Louis.  His life doesn’t matter to BLM, but Underwood and Dorn were cops, and they don’t like cops.  So how about 22 year old Italia Marie Kelly

She was shot dead by a rioter in Davenport, Iowa.  Her crime?  She was just in the way.  No outrage yet from Black Lives Matter.  Just as they’re not outraged that 8,000 black victims are murdered by black perpetrators every year.  Those thousands of lives don’t matter enough for BLM to do anything to stop the carnage.  They may need all those armed gangstas to patrol the streets once the cops are disbanded.  When BLM members replace the police and shoot a miscreant, will they protest themselves?  No, protests will be outlawed, and murder will become what liberals like to call “the new normal.”  Here are three things I know.  Systemic racism is a lie.  All black lives matter, even if Black Lives Matter doesn’t think so.  And “some lives matter” isn’t nearly good enough.

For months, we’ve been consumed by lockdowns due to the Wuhan virus.  We flattened the curve.  Daily deaths in NJ went from a high of 458 to 21 as of June 1.  Businesses were to reopen.  There was a light at the end of the tunnel.  Then we found out that light was a freight train coming at us.  The spark was the killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer.  It caused justifiable protests against brutality.  This police incident was different though, because there’s universal agreement that the cops committed crimes and should be prosecuted.  Under those circumstances, one wouldn’t reasonably expect the situation to devolve into nationwide rioting, but reason has nothing to do with this.  As this is written we’ve had a week of rioting, looting, violence and arson all over the country.  The lying media wants you to believe that these are spontaneous acts of civil disobedience caused by the Floyd killing.  They’re not.  Tempers are running hot, sure.  The Black Lives Matter crew is fanning the flames with their white supremecist rhetoric.  But the riots are not about George Floyd.  They’re the acts of urban terrorists using the Floyd killing as the excuse to unleash the revolution they’ve been planning for years.  Their timing is impeccable.  People have been locked up for 3 months, during which time they have seen their jobs, their savings and their prospects for the future disappear before their very eyes.  Add to this a presidential election, widespread despair, high unemployment, and a supply of young thugs with nothing better to do, and it’s a recipe tailor made for the organized anarchists of Antifa.  The larger goal of these latter day Brown Shirts is to attack the foundations of American law and culture, especially the Constitution itself.  Here are the “principles” of Antifa’s hooded bastards: 1) Liberation by any means necessary (violence is acceptable); 2) Destroy the State, the police, and the military (no resistance); 3) Live in dignity in a world without prisons; 4) Abolish systems of punishment (all laws); 5) Revolutionary justice will be determined by those who are repressed (end capitalism); 6) No government or group will have power over others (anarchy); 7) Communities will make sure everyone has what he needs (it’s all free); 8) All land is communal (no property rights); 9) Destroy all borders; and 10) militant forces will defend our revolutionary communities.  “Liberation begins where America ends.”  The President has declared Antifa a terrorist organization.  Imbeciles on CNN call this Trump’s attack on free speech, but Antifa has no use for free speech, or any other individual right.  They seek to bring about the violent overthrow of the United States, and they’re responsible for starting and supporting these riots, which aren’t truly riots.  A riot is a tumultuous, chaotic situation where people engage in uncontrolled violence.  The current rioting across the country has been carefully planned.  Don’t doubt me.  Throwing bricks and rocks during a riot is nothing new, but this time it’s different, as caches of bricks and rocks have mysteriously appeared at the sites of “protests” in Kansas City, New York, Dallas, Raleigh, Boston, Minneapolis, Fayetteville and Los Angeles, and not near construction sites.  See for yourself.

Here’s a woman handing out bricks –

The story on the street is that police in each city put them there to provoke the crowds to violence.  Since they’d be thrown at the police, and since the police aren’t arresting many people anyway, that seems unlikely.  Somebody paid for and pre-positioned these bricks in places where they could be used.  We should find out who.  Remember Antifa’s 10 Commandments above.  Destroy all police, military and laws, and declare property rights null and void, and here we are.  Cities all over the country have been looted and burned.  Downtown Manhattan is an empty shell.  The looters move from area to area, avoiding the police.  The Antifa hooded bastards smash the windows, then crowds of young thugs storm in to plunder.  Unsurprisingly, stores that sell sneakers have been hardest hit, but also banks and electronics stores.  Over $2 million of Rolex watches disappeared from one store. Even Macy’s on 34th Street was a target.  And once again, these are not random smash and grab attacks on targets of opportunity.  It’s carefully planned.  Rioters ordinarily don’t arrive on the scene equipped with crowbars and hammers to remove plywood from boarded up windows.  That’s going on now.  The Molotov cocktails being thrown at the police were supplied by the screwy white pajama boys and girls who only come out of their parents’ basements when it’s time to riot.  Here’s one from Illinois, arrested for handing out explosives in Minnesota.

Now you know why they wear masks.  Their goal is to make America “ungovernable.”  And they have help.  Rich imbeciles in Hollywood are paying bail money to secure the releases of Antifa bastards.  They drank the Kool-Aid long ago.  They actually believe the white supremecist, institutionalized racism crap.  And it is crap.  Institutionalized racism in the justice system?  I worked in the justice system in Essex County, NJ.  When the Chief of Police, the Prosecutor, many of the judges and a majority of the jurors are people of color, who’s doing the oppression?  People of color don’t want anarchy, they want the same things all people want.  Safety for their families, and a chance to make a living.  I ran a narcotics task force.  When my phone rang, it wasn’t rich white folks calling to complain that their streets were so infested with drug dealers that their children couldn’t go outside.  That’s what these Hollywood A-holes don’t grasp.  Once all the laws, the police and the military are gone, and the vermin start climbing over their gates to confiscate their property, who will save them?  The Revolutionary Guards?  But it’s worse.  The first duty of government is to protect people on the streets and in their homes.  “Progressives” don’t agree.  The Raleigh Chief of Police won’t put her officers at risk “just to defend property.”  Goodbye Raleigh.  Pennsylvania Congressman Brendan Boyle’s office  was ransacked and robbed.  He thinks it’s “cool.” A Seattle Councilwoman can’t understand “why looting bothers people so much more” than black people “dying every day” at the hands of police.  The Seattle Mayor says “What I don’t want to hear is for our constituents to be told to be civil, not to be reactionary (she may mean revolutionary), to be told that looting doesn’t solve anything, because the violence and destruction, both here in Seattle and across the country has been instigated and perpetuated by white men.”  The revolution is upon us.  We either stop this now, or we lose it all.

There are plenty of people who believe that the Blue State governors are purposely delaying the reopening of their States  to tank the economy, thus forcing Congress to bail them out for past mismanagement, and of course, to defeat President Trump. While I have no doubt that the Blue State Govs are bent on defeating Trump, I’m not convinced there’s a leftist conspiracy afoot.  Their actions, or inactions, may bring about the result they all crave, the end of Trump, but that’s not what’s going on.  Let’s face it, these governors (Cuomo, Murphy, Pritzker, Whitmer, Newsome, Kate Brown in Oregon, etc.) aren’t bright enough to run a conspiracy.  They can’t even run their own States. In March, there was a lot we didn’t know about the Wuhan virus.  The one thing we knew for certain though, was that it was particularly deadly for the elderly and those with co-morbidities (underlying health risks).  Despite this, Blue State geniuses Cuomo, Murphy and Whitmer, ordered infected Wuhan patients sent to nursing homes; facilities filled 100% with elderly people with co-morbidities.  These governors had access to thousands of hospital beds at  field hospitals supplied by Trump.  These facilities were barely used.  The result?  NY and NJ each have had some 6,000 deaths in nursing homes and other extended care facilities.  In NJ, 1 of every 13 people in such facilities died.  Michigan, so far, has refused to report their numbers.  The Blue State governors kept everybody locked up, although 66% of new cases affected people locked up at home.  They locked up people of all ages, although we now know that more people over age 100 died, than those under 45.  In March, the lock downs were reasonable.  All we had were Chinese lies, and the (consistently wrong) experts said the death rate was 3-4%.  We now know that the death rate is closer to 0.2%, and wouldn’t be that high had governors not infected the nursing homes, which account for some 50% of the deaths.  The hospital crisis has passed, and new case numbers are down.  So given that it’s almost June, why are we still locked up?  Why is the media still preaching doom?  Why are we wearing masks?  And when are we going to take the advice of Fox’s Dan Bongino,  “Get your ass up, go to work”?  Because Blue State governors won’t release us.  When Georgia and Florida opened up, they compared it to a human sacrifice, and predicted outbreaks.  They were wrong.  Meanwhile, Oregon Governor Brown, in a State with almost no Wuhan cases, has extended stay at home orders into July.  It’s not just incompetence or mindless fear.  Under pressure, leftists expose their true nature. They’re fascists.  Remember the principles of fascism: everything in the State; nothing outside the State; and nothing against the State.  Do what you’re told, or else.  They want to transform a land of  free citizens into a land of compliant subjects.  Don’t doubt me.  Leftists like Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsome and  major “stunod,” Joe Biden, have called the pandemic a perfect excuse for the government to nationalize healthcare, cure climate change, and impose the entire leftist agenda.  It’s an all-out assault on our constitutional rights.  Not convinced?  Harvard Law School Professor Adrian Vermeule suggests using the pandemic as an excuse to establish a new interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, implementing policies that do away with concepts such as “free speech ideology” (1st Amendment) and “property rights” (5th Amendment, and 1,000 years of English common law), the U.S. constitution having “now outlived its utility.”  Instead of individual rights, the nutty professor supports “common good constitutionalism.”  Individual rights are “selfish.”  We should promote “good rule.”  In other words, fascism.  The governors are off to a flying start.  The first part of the 1st Amendment guarantees religious freedom, but that didn’t stop governors from closing churches.  The first couple of weeks, maybe it was justified.  But now?  “Well, follow the science.”  What science?  The science from Fauci that said, the virus isn’t a threat, and we should go on a cruise?  The science that said 2 million would die?  The science that said the virus lived on surfaces for days, last weeks’ science that said it doesn’t, or this weeks’ science that says yes it does?  The infringement of constitutional rights requires the State to meet a high standard.  The Minnesota Catholic Archdiocese understands this.  “We are blessed to live in a nation that guarantees the free exercise of religion.  This right can only be abridged for a compelling governmental interest, and only in a way that is narrowly tailored to be the least restrictive means of achieving the desired end.”  According to Justice Scalia, “narrow tailoring” must be like the tailoring of Versace, not Omar the Tentmaker.  Many of the State restrictions can’t meet this test.  Many are not even rational.  Last week 3,500 people lined up at a Brooklyn church to get food.  They’re allowed to stand in the breadline, but are not allowed to pray.  In Michigan, Governor Whitmer arbitrarily decided what was “essential” and what was “non-essential.”  Food is essential, but you can’t buy seeds or plants to grow your own food.  You can buy marijuana and liquor, but not paint.  All the governors have made like decisions without any apparent authority to do so.  In California, you can walk on the beach, but can’t you sit on it.  Big stores with hundreds of customers are essential and open.  Small businesses selling the same goods are non-essential and closed.  Today, people convicted of crimes are being released, and people who are just trying to work are being jailed.  Why?  Because the fascists said so.  Same for the mask crap.  Fauci, (the science) told us not to wear masks one day, and to wear them the next.  They never said what changed.  Nothing changed.  The masks engender and perpetuate fear, and people who are desperate and afraid are more likely to submit.  Judges have reversed some orders.  One of the most eloquent is Illinois Judge Michael McHaney, “When laws do not apply to those who make them, people are not being governed, they are being ruled.  Make no mistake, these executive orders are not laws.  They are royal decrees.  Illinois citizens are not being governed, they are being ruled.  The last time I checked Illinois citizens are also Americans and Americans don’t get ruled.  The last time a monarch tried to rule Americans, a shot was fired that was heard around the world.  That day led to the birth of a nation consensually governed based upon a document which ensures that on this day in this, any American courtroom tyrannical despotism will always lose and liberty, freedom and the constitution will always win.”  Bravo.  A government’s legitimacy derives from the consent of the governed.  I don’t consent.   Thomas Jefferson advised that “a little rebellion now and then is a good thing.”  It’s now or never.

In my youth I was a prosecutor, working for the New Jersey Attorney General in the newly constructed Hughes Justice Complex in Trenton.  In the ridiculously oversized and largely empty lobby of the building, there stand a couple of 20 or 30 foot high modern sculptures that, more than anything else, resemble the tips of screwdrivers.  No one ever explained their supposed meaning, but I long ago christened them “The Screws of Justice.”  Justice, and the prospect of a good screwing, recently came to mind in light of developments in the Michael Flynn case.  Flynn worked in the Obama Administration.  He disagreed with Obama on Iran, and Il Duce fired him.  Obama advised Trump not to hire Flynn.  Trump hired him as National Security Advisor.  And so it came to pass that, in December 2016, Il Duce Obama, and his crime family, a/k/a, the CIA, FBI and Justice Department, knew they had to take Flynn out, for several reasons.  As Obama’s DNI, Flynn knew the intelligence community was abusing the FISA warrant procedure, illegally surveilling Americans.  This is not a conspiracy theory.  Justice Dept. Inspector General Horowitz reported that, in a sample of 25 of more than 700 FISA applications, all 25 contained serious legal errors.  Flynn wanted to clean house.  He also knew about misuse of billions of dollars by the CIA, and according to his lawyer, was about to conduct an audit.  Most importantly, the Obama gang had its fingerprints on the four illegal FISA warrants used to conduct spying on Carter Page, George Papadopolous, and other Trump campaign associates.  If Flynn was permitted to stay in his job, the jig was up, the dirt comes out, and people go to jail.  So they framed Flynn.  They ambushed him without a lawyer, changed the police report to make him look guilty, got him fired, and then prosecuted him for lying to the FBI.  His first lawyers charged Flynn $6 million.  Imagine that.  And then, the Feds coerced him to plead guilty by threatening his son.  This is not justice, it’s a screw job.  With a new lawyer, Flynn moved to withdraw his plea.  He made a plausible case that the government withheld exculpatory evidence from him, like the January 4, 2017 FBI report saying, after months of investigation, they found “no derogatory information,” and the January 24, 2017 FBI report that said the interviewers found he did not lie to them.  Evidence that Flynn was framed was released in recent weeks.  Oh yes, and it seems the law firm that charged Flynn $6 million to plead guilty, withheld thousands of pages of discovery from him.  Think there’s no Deep State?  Ask yourself how and why, with Donald Trump as the president, and Bill Barr as Attorney General, it took three years for us to see evidence that should have been released to Flynn, to Barr, to Congress, and to the public ten minutes after it was ordered to be produced.  They hid it because they had something to hide.  Not convinced yet that there’s a Deep State?  Okay.  Flynn moved to dismiss the charges, Barr sent the case to a US Attorney in Missouri, and after his review, the government told the court it’s dismissing the charges.  Game over, right?  Wrong!  Because the Deep State resides not just in the Executive and Legislative branches, but also in the Judiciary.  The judge on the Flynn case, one Emmet Sullivan, won’t dismiss the case.  We know why the Democrats and the media condemned the decision to drop the case, they’re all covering up their own dirty dealing.  The Obama FBI, CIA, and Justice Dept. illegally spied on the Trump campaign, illegally unmasked Americans, illegally leaked information to the media, railroaded people into prison, and lied about everything.  The media swore to the lies.  But what about this judge?  Aren’t judges supposed to be impartial?  Sure.  Alan Dershowitz has written that, “judges are umpires, not ringmasters.”  Emmet Sullivan doesn’t agree, and he now looks more like Emmet Kelly the clown than Emmet Sullivan the judge.  This is not a complicated issue.  It’s fundamental, first week of law school stuff.  The Constitution permits courts to adjudicate “cases” or “controversies.”  In other words, judges are not allowed to roam about looking for things to do.  A case or controversy is brought to the court because the parties have a disagreement, the court decides the issue, and justice is done.  But when the parties agree, when there’s no controversy, the case is over.  Emmet Kelly Sullivan ignored this, and appointed a former judge (Gleeson), and certified Trump hater, as amicus curiae, friend of the court, to argue whether the court should reject the request to dismiss, and perhaps whether Flynn can be prosecuted for perjury.  Huh?  First of all, there’s no precedent for an amicus in a trial level criminal case.  You have the government and the defendant.  No one else has standing (the right to appear and argue).  Secondly, once the government decides to drop charges, the court has no recourse but to dismiss.  Judge Sullivan’s boss, the D.C. Circuit Court, says that, and Sullivan is bound to follow their decision.  Even Judge Gleeson knows that.  In 2012, Gleeson himself wrote that “the government has absolute discretion to decide not to prosecute, and that it would be an abuse of discretion for the court not to allow the government to drop a prosecution.”  Now Gleeson’s going to tell Sullivan he has such discretion?  And prosecute Flynn for perjury?  Please!  Two small problems with that.  First, people withdraw their guilty pleas every day, and none ever are charged with perjury.  They can’t be.  Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11, permits pleas to be withdrawn when “the defendant can show a fair and just reason for requesting the withdrawal.”  Being framed by a government, which withheld exculpatory evidence, and receiving ineffective assistance from your $6 million lawyers are fair and just reasons.  Moreover, even Emmet Kelly Sullivan knows that judges can’t prosecute people.  Only the executive can bring criminal charges.  Sullivan’s taken off his judge’s robe and put on his big red nose.  He’s not running a court.  It’s a circus, and Mike Flynn isn’t in the center ring.  He’s just a sideshow.  The Deep State needs to discredit the president to keep the heat off the Obama crime family.  The screws of justice are tightening.
