Impeach 45 is a battle cry, but LOCK HER UP, is a banana republic.

It’s not a norm to investigate criminals?

I watched the early stages of the Judicial Committee hearing on Jeff Sessions this morning.

I have long held that the crime and corruption is so deep and wide in D.C. that there is no way in hell they will dare to let an investigation into Hillary, DNC, Comey, Lynch-on-the-tarmac and more ever begin.

I WAS RIGHT!

Jim Jordan ran down the entire list of things we know to be true about the Clinton/Comey deception and Sessions said there is no factual reason to convene a special counsel.

Subsequently he also told Trey Gowdy the same thing.

HILLARY, COMEY AND MUELLER HAVE BEEN RULED TO BE ABOVE THE LAW-

END OF DISCUSSION!

I recall Hussein threatening to prosecute intelligence officials involved in enhanced interrogations matters. It went on for months. Hussein finally backed down.

Silvio Berlusconi to escape corruption charges thanks to new law

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/7421172/Silvio-Berlusconi-to-escape-corruption-charges-thanks-to-new-law.html

Backwater nations like Italy who prosecute former leaders.

Of course maybe we could pass this law like the Italians and Hillary can say she’s too busy to be tried for corruption.

NYT Headline: "Trump Shatters Norms..."

Correct Headline: "Trump Upholds Rule of Law; All Equal in Eyes of Law; Nation of Laws, Not Men"

The unethical NYT and Dems are doing their typical sleight of hand. A banana republic goes after their political opponents because they are their political opponents. But that is not what is happening here. If Clinton is gone after it is because of corruption, corruption in office and other illegalities. Clinton and the Dems know that the “banana republic” accusation would be used to forestal any attempt to root out and bring corrupt officials to justice and thus they had a green light to be corrupt.

No need for a special counsel. The crime(s) would be straight-up embezzlement, influence peddling, etc.

Whether the FBI looked the other way would be a different situation of course.

The MSM “banana republic” claim is predicated on their framing the issue as Trump investigating and prosecuting Hillary because she was the opposing candidate, which is a willful and deliberate misrepresentation of the actual situation. They know perfectly well that there are substantial legitimate questions about Hillary’s involvement with the Uranium One deal, her deleted emails, and her connections to the Clinton Charity and its receipt of large sums of money from foreign sources that she was interacting with in her capacity as Secretary of State.

“”critics of Mr. Trump quickly decried what they called “banana republic” politics of retribution, akin to autocratic backwater nations where election losers are jailed by winners.”

The flip side of this coin, is that politicians, knowing they are getting slightly more forbearance in the effort to smoothly transition power, have a grave responsibility not to use that forbearance as a shield allowing them to commit crimes.
If the loser wants to be protected from prosecution, they have a larger responsibility not to be a criminal in the first place.

So, Djimmies, if she’s innocent of all of these “wild” charges, then what’s to worry about an investigation? Hmmmmmm? Enquiring minds want to know.

“Too big to fail”, “the winner may not prosecute clear crimes committed by their opponent and/or predecessor.”

Notice how everyone except we and Trump hold some sort of protection?

Ah, yes: we should scrupulously avoid investigating or prosecuting any politicians who make tens of millions using their official offices or endanger national security through slimy deals with foreign powers. We should also respect the custom of ignoring incompetence of individuals who held high offices and failed in almost everything they did - because they failed to get elected President.

In fact, why hold anyone responsible, anyway?

The ‘norms’ were overturned by the Clintons, their cabal, and the cabal that was behind Obama’s rise to the Presidency. This mix of people, that includes those like Bill Ayers who are anti-American radicals who want to ‘fundamentally transform’ (sound familiar?) America, those like Hillary who are driven by a narcissistic need to be historical powerful figures (irrespective of the costs or whatever happens to those who get in the way), and shadowy international figures like Soros, who have a variety of motivations.

Baraq 0bama and his regime have weaponized the entire federal government against conservatives. That is the main crime we should be looking at.

Banana republic? Like Chavez and Venezuela, the 0bama regime falsified evidence to obtain warrants to spy on the opposition candidate for President. That is fact.
