If you go to downtown Washington you will see the building which houses the Department of Justice very near to the National Archives, which is the home of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Putting aside the fact that the Justice Department building is named for Robert F. Kennedy, an Attorney General who routinely ordered illegal searches and wiretaps on people such as Martin Luther King, it has become quite apparent that justice is just about the last thing that we are getting from this Department of our government. The election of Donald Trump last year came as a shock to the entrenched establishment of both political parties. Like other Departments, Justice Department employees were expecting a smooth transition from the Obama to the Hillary Clinton Administration. Business as usual. That didn’t happen. Instead of Attorney General Mark Elias, they got Attorney General Jeff Sessions. A new Administration, with Obama holdovers in nearly every high-ranking position in the Department. We hear every day about “the deep State.” These are the people who work for the federal government, and keep advancing their agendas no matter who is elected to office. The State Department is infested with permanent employees who pursue their foreign policies, regardless of who’s President. Every other Department has the same embedded employees. For some purposes this is a good thing, for it would be impossible to replace thousands of employees overnight when a new President is elected. The ship of State must sail on, and the holdovers navigate until the new Administration puts its own people in charge. At least, that’s the way it always used to work. But not anymore. Not in the era of Trump. Not when the Senate has greatly delayed the approvals of Trump nominees. Not when the dark State sees itself as an occupying force, dedicated to resistance against this President. Such an attitude from people who are subordinate to Donald Trump is embarrassing and inconvenient when it comes from an agency such as the EPA. When outright resistance, and indeed guerilla war, is declared by the Justice Department on the President, it is a clear and present danger to our democracy. If you look up at the Justice Department building, you will see the following inscription in the stone – NO FREE GOVERNMENT CAN SURVIVE THAT IS NOT BASED ON THE SUPREMACY OF THE LAW WHERE LAW ENDS TYRANNY BEGINS LAW ALONE CAN GIVE US FREEDOM Those who work at the Justice Department ought to read that inscription and take it to heart, because what is going on today is a mockery of justice, which smacks of Banana Republic/Police State tyranny, and which is a mortal threat to our freedom. It began in January. Trump issued his travel restriction Orders. He had every right to do so. Second in command at Justice, Sally Yates, refused to defend the Orders. Trump fired her. He had every right to do so. Then the Comey firing. Trump had every right to fire him, even Deputy AG Rob Rosenstein agreed at the time. Then the Russian collusion investigation. After Jeff Sessions recused himself, unnecessarily I think, because as a Member of the Foreign Relations Committee, he was supposed to speak to ambassadors, including the one from Russia, Comey released his private Memos, and the same Rosenstein appointed Bob Mueller as a Special Counsel to investigate. Mueller compiled a Dream Team of Trump hating, Hillary supporting, liberal Democrats as prosecutors. The lead attack dog, Andrew Weissman, actually praised Sally Yates for resisting the Trump Orders. Weissman is notorious for his zeal to destroy all suspects at any cost. He famously sent Enron employees to jail on a legal theory so bogus that the convictions were reversed. Weissman single-handedly destroyed the Arthur Anderson accounting firm by making it liable for some of the Enron crimes, these convictions also reversed by the courts, but of course, not until after multiple defendants had been bankrupted, had their reputations and lives ruined, and languished in prison before justice actually was done. Coming from a career Prosecutor such as myself, Weissman is a stain on all prosecutors, yet he was turned loose on the President. So far, Mueller, Weissman and the 15 other prosecutors have spent $17 million, and indicted Paul Manafort for supposed crimes dating to 2004 (nothing to do with the 2016 election). Weissman conducted a dawn raid on Manafort’s home to seize documents. Totally improper for such an investigation. General Flynn has admitted to lying to the FBI. The Flynn case is a travesty of justice. The FBI, an agency with a formerly pristine reputation for honesty and fair-dealing, has become nothing more than muscle for the gangsters posing as Special Counsels. The FBI got FISA warrants on Trump & Co. before the election. We think the warrants were derived from the British dossier, which was written in part by Russian Intelligence officers, and paid for by Hillary. We can’t be sure though, because the FBI has refused to provide documents and testify before Congressional Committees that have subpoenaed the information. Then we learned that the chief FBI investigator is also a Trump hater, he and his wife supported Hillary, and he shared with his mistress anti-Trump texts. Oh yeah, and he also was the guy who interviewed Hillary (unrecorded and unsworn), gave her buddies immunity, changed the language of Comey’s exoneration of Hillary to protect her, and also ambushed General Flynn, by eliciting from him a slightly different version of the facts about what Flynn said to the Russian ambassador, while all the time having a complete transcript of what was said, the transcript likely gained from an illegal wiretap. The goal is to depose a duly elected President by concocting something, anything, that dishonest Democrats can use to impeach Trump, should they gain control of the House next year. The whole thing stinks to high Heaven. They say it is the coverup, and not he crime that gets you. The Mueller investigation is itself the coverup, of all the dishonest, unethical and illegal crap that the Obama Administration in general, and Hillary Clinton in particular engaged in prior to, leading up to, and after the 2016 election. If Hillary had won, they could have buried their misconduct, but Trump won, and now threatens to expose their crimes. That’s why they must destroy Trump before the truth gets out. If they succeed, in America, law will end and tyranny will begin.
