When the Roman civil wars ended in 31 BC with the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra, Augustus Caesar consolidated his power in Rome through the use of an elite guard called the Praetorians, whose sole duty was to protect the Emperor. The special military unit did so with devastating efficiency through the use of force or subterfuge to quell civil disturbances and political intrigues. The Praetorians were particularly adept at eliminating any perceived threat to their own power, which turned out to be their primary mission.
When the Roman Senate debated whether to restore the Republic after the lunatic Emperor Caligula was assassinated in 41 AD, the potential end of the Empire posed an existential threat to the Praetorians, so they took matters into their own hands. They found Caligula’s uncle, Claudius, cowering inside the palace and spirited him away to their stronghold. The guard then proclaimed Claudius the Emperor, cutting off any further debate in the Senate. A grateful Claudius showered rewards on the Praetorians for their special service. In effect, the Praetorians had become a power unto themselves, answerable to no one. As a result, they were despised by nobles and commoners alike.

An apt analogy.
“These half-ass punk politicians posing as law enforcement officials refuse to cooperate with FOIA requests until a court orders them to do so and then they deliver documents with whole sections blackened out, literally covering up a cover-up. They love to operate in the shadows because that’s where they do their best work. They treat us like mushrooms: they keep us in the dark and feed us shit. That is what deep state operatives do.
It’s time to put the self-serving American Praetorians out of business. Until we clean house and shut them down, the United States has a two-tier justice system and everyone knows it. One for us; another one for government insiders.”
Does Rip van Sessions know this?
The swamp’s guardians probably have video of Sessions set up and compromising himself with little boys or something. The Pizza operations are likely useful for a lot more than just keeping the Podestas of the swamp sated.
anyone remember THE UNTOUCHABLES? True story that Eliot Ness trusted NO ONE in the Treasury Dept bec. they were all suspect. He had to recruit from outside the agency and from the graduate ranks to fill in his team of 50, which he shrunk to 11 so he could get his job done.
Sessions should go this route bec. it’s obvious its full of obama minions.
For the life of me, I have no understanding of why the DOJ and FBI was not cleansed of all swamp scum.
Of course he does; he cooperates.
Yep. All the corruption not fit to print.
