We've lost sight of the real scandal (Sharyl Attkisson)
The Hill ^ | 09/17/19 | Sharyl Attkisson

Posted on 09/17/2019 7:05:46 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

What will Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s latest investigation reveal? Will Congress hold hearings about it? Will former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe actually get indicted? After all, it’s said that a motivated prosecutor can “indict a ham sandwich” if he really wants to.

We’re so wrapped up in the daily tick-tock, we could be losing sight of a big picture that’s come into focus over the past two years. For the first time in our nation’s history, an inspector general — one appointed by President Obama — has determined that at least two men who sat in the top spot at the FBI committed multiple violations that warrant possible prosecution. That in itself is a scandal with national implications deserving of headlines, congressional hearings and promises to overhaul a broken system.

Of course, the complicating factor in the whole mess is that the government entities responsible for addressing any wrongdoing are the same ones inextricably tied to the alleged wrongdoing.

The really big picture is that both parties cooperated to violate the Constitution.

None of the participants of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will be prosecuted.

The MSM runs very effective cover for their own crooks. The power to ignore is real power.

“Will former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe actually get indicted?”

Here’s my prediction: No.

Has she gone crazy? How could anybody even suggest that a group of individuals that ran a Seditious Conspiracy to Overthrow The United States Government be held accountable? She acts like it was a crime or something.

Most likely many in the media are complicit in the illegal activity.

If Obama were a white Republican, this would be the greatest scandal in American history. As it is, too many people have a vested interest in protecting him, or are afraid of being called a racist if they follow the footprints to where they lead. Comey, Brennan and Clapper were Obama’s agents—they wouldn’t have done what they did without his knowledge and his orders.

Exactly. The media have been the elite, mostly controlling the country for five decades at least. They will not give up power easily.

There may have been teenagers that were sexually abused at Waco that justifies everything that was done to them. Contrast with Epstein’s Island where we KNOW what was done to teenagers and it seems no one gave a damn about them. Hmmmm.

Globalists on the right, socialists on the left and nobody goes to jail. Maintaining the status quo is paramount....

Exactly.

And each perpaTraitor should understand when the same is done to them.

It’s time for a ruthless rooting out of this disregard for the law by a select few.

The tree of liberty needs to be refreshed.

The real issue is that the former president ORCHESTRATED the attack on his successor.

Uh, they burned them up. I’m not sure that’s a good way to help those who are sexually abused. You might want to rethink that one, or at least rephrase it.

The first clue is if they indict McCabe for lying to Comey, which is what they are (apparently) doing so far.

They launched a coup d’état that involved half a dozen foreign governments, and they get him for lying to Comey??

The investigation is the cover-up... the prosecution is the cover-up. Like getting a bank robber for parking the getaway car in a no-parking zone.
