I had a piece I wrote over the weekend make the article section in American Thinker today. There are three central questions asked in the piece.
1.) Is there a “protected” class of individuals who are treated as if they are above the law?
2.) What is the “victimhood industrial complex” [credit BFH ] and how is it used by the “protected”?
3.) Why is no one on the left concern about the lack of “justice equality” when all they do is complain about all the other types of inequalities?
The well-healed elite establishment controls elected “representative” government officials, the bureaucracy and the judiciary.
Unequal (preferential) justice, patronage, contracts and government/political favors are the spoils of the establishment victors.
The arrangement works best when there’s an understanding between the elected and the appointed in law enforcement to take care of each other.
Like Clapper and Brennan had with the Obama administration.
“I could be wrong about all this.”
Or not. If you want to see the “Protected Class’ on steroids come visit California where our state legislators continually exempt them selves from laws they’ve written for us serfs to abide by. They don’t even try and hide it anymore. Another reason they want us disarmed.
Dr. Tar: Very impressive analysis of our skewed, unbalanced “Justice System.” The Clintons are the outstanding examples of being a protected class of criminals known as liberal politicians. If the MSDM were not fellow travelers in this corruption, they would have been exposed years ago. We are currently witnessing a great legal experience, which should prove if all men and women are treated equally in our country’s Justice System.
There is a protected class and members include those doing the protecting.
Comey let H. Clinton off the hook for Whitewater, despite finding she engaged in all sorts of illegal/unethical misdeeds regarding evidence, destruction of evidence to e exact, and similar destruction of evidence, while it was under subpoena. Come concluded it would be too hard to prosecute and convict such an upstanding citizen.
Recall too she was fired from the Watergate commission staff because of unethical behavior.Yeah, there is a protected class.
“In 1996, after months of work, Comey came to some damning conclusions: Hillary Clinton was personally involved in mishandling documents and had ordered others to block investigators as they pursued their case. Worse, her behavior fit into a pattern of concealment: she and her husband had tried to hide their roles in two other matters under investigation by law enforcement.
Taken together, the interference by White House officials, which included destruction of documents, amounted to “far more than just aggressive lawyering or political naiveté,” Comey and his fellow investigators concluded. It constituted “a highly improper pattern of deliberate misconduct.”
Several people involved with the Whitewater corporation (including Clinton’s successor as governor) ultimately went to jail, but the Clintons never faced criminal prosecution.

Our legal system is based on “trial by combat.” If one doesn’t have the resources to fight in court (which most of us don’t), the battles go unfought. So only the wealthy can fight – and can also afford to buy politicians to favor their game. Look at how many in the US and worldwide bought Hillary Clinton. Add to this that there are SO many laws on the US books, how can any DOJ and its Federal law enforcement agencies keep track of all the people INSIDE AND OUTSIDE of government breaking those laws? We would need tens if not hundreds of thousands of lawyers and judges. So most don’t get prosecuted.
After more than two centuries, I don’t think we actually know HOW to run a Republic.
“Is there a “protected” class of individuals who are treated as if they are above the law?”
Undeniably!
A bit more on HRC’s protection and Whitewater.

The National Archives is fighting a lawsuit trying to force disclosure of several draft indictments of Hillary Clinton prepared by a Whitewater prosecutor in the 1990s.
In a brief filed late Tuesday, Justice Department lawyers and the Archives argue that disclosure of the draft indictments would lead to an unwarranted invasion of Clinton’s privacy and violate a court rule protecting grand jury secrecy.”

“Nearly 20 years before FBI Director James B. Comey declared that “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring a criminal case against Clinton over her use of a private email server while secretary of state, Clinton narrowly escaped a similar legal peril amid the Whitewater investigation that engulfed much of her husband’s time as president.”

No reasonable prosecutor.
Sounds familiar.
