American Thinker: The Deep State has taken root at the Department of Justice, granting immunity, in effect, to law enforcers who become law-breakers. Attorney General William Barr already has a very full plate in his task of restoring public confidence in the politicized Department of Justice and FBI, but the problem goes far beyond that particular crew of plotters. With US Attorney John Durham investigating potential law-breaking involving the Russia Hoax, there is at least some hope for accountability there.
But as John Solomon of The Hill reports, there is stunning evidence that the DoJ is granting its bureaucratic miscreants immunity from prosecution (my words, not Solomon’s) even when the Inspector General Michael Horowitz makes a criminal referral.
These are ordinary law-breakers, not agents of a coup acting politically. Solomon describes 4 cases of non-prosecution:
One was caught red-handed engaged in nepotism. Another, a lawyer no less, admitted to shoplifting at a Marine barracks store. A third leaked sealed court information to the news media. And a fourth engaged in fraud by turning a government garage into a personal repair shop.
Four cases, all solved in the past month, with suspects who cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars and significant breaches of public trust.
But these weren’t your everyday perps.
All were U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) employees who are supposed to catch other criminals while working for the FBI, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and U.S. attorneys’ offices. Instead, they broke the law or violated the rules. And all managed to escape prosecution, despite their proven transgressions.
When the law enforcers break the law with impunity, we have a tyranny. Plain and simple.
As most of us have cone to recognize, nothing ever seems to come from these revelations of criminal conduct by government actors, particularly if they’re on the Left but it happens on the Right as well (depending on the circumstance involved).
This is what people are fed up with, laws only applying to certain people. Meanwhile Pelosi can run her mouth about wanting to see Trump in jail. Sickening.
HANG ‘EM HIGH! 😡
There’s a way to change that, start firing from the top down till someone starts to fix it. I call BS.
Either the DOJ has lots of folks with questionable background behavior which can be used against them or the DOJ is the Deep State in its entirety. Laws are not supposed to be only for the little people. This has got to end. It’s gone on too long…these criminal elements must be taken to task.
DoJ – lawyers.
FBI – lawyers.
Avenatti, Cohen – lawyers.
6 or 7 of the 13 Conferees (I forget – but a majority) at Wansee – lawyers.
Hmmmmm … seems to be a common thread here … just can’t put my finger on it …
Maybe they look out for their own?
Sort of an infernal brotherhood?
Satan’s Disciples?
izlamo delenda est …
Tell me who did not see this coming.
We need more time.
It took obama/jarrett 8 years to destroy the integrity of the US government. It will take longer to build it back.
And clinton had decades.
Don’t prosecute them. Just round them up and ship them off to GITMO forever. They’re no better than terrorists and don’t deserve a trial.
Ahh. The old USSR is back.
It’s good news finally, but it also points to the intransigence that’s endemic everywhere else.
Depending on those we hired{congress} to address these problems is getting us nowhere and even those civilians who try and enforce our borders are threatened by legal action.
I hate these bastards in government.
Oops, wrong thread
Oh, dear!
But it’s not like a few “bad” apples ruin the barrel.
Look! The barrel told you so.
