On exacting poetic political justice.
Lock Donald Trump up, or don’t lock him up, but don’t tell me that “no one is above the law.” It’s one of the most ludicrous fantasies peddled by the left.
Plenty of people are “above the law.” James Clapper, who lied under oath to Congress about spying on the American people, is above the law. John Brennan, who lied about a domestic spying operation on Senate staffers, is above the law. Unlike Trump advisor Peter Navarro, Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder was never going to be handcuffed and thrown in prison for ignoring a congressional subpoena. He is above the law.
Trump’s 2016 opponent, Hillary Clinton, is also above the law. The then-Secretary of State set up a private server in her home to circumvent transparency surrounding her slush-fund foundation. She sent 110 emails containing marked classified information, and 36 of those emails contained secret information. Eight of the email chains contained “top secret” information. Every one of those instances was a potential felony punishable with up to ten years in prison.
We learned all of this from James Comey, then FBI director, who noted that Hillary had been “extremely careless” in conducting her business. Comey didn’t recommend charges because, he claimed, the state couldn’t prove Clinton’s intent — even though “gross negligence,” not intent, was the only standard he needed. Gross negligence and extreme carelessness are synonyms. Comey concocted a new standard to protect Clinton because she is above the law.

Great article — thanks for posting it.

He missed the J6 “insurrectionists” following police orders vs Antifa mostly peaceful protesters burning, looting and murdering.
Except, democrats.
“carelessness” is explicitly noted as NOT being a defense against criminal action for violating secret and top-secret documents security.
You are specifically warned that you had better not be careless, because it is not acceptable excuse- you will go to jail.
So yes HilLIARy is above the law.
Adam Schiff lied to the American people for years WHILE CONDUCTING THE PUBLICS BUISINESS as head of his committee. He seems to be above the law.
There is a long list of Democrats who seem to be above the law.
BTTT
Chuck Schumer claiming no one is above the law. Apparently you are, sir!

Exactly!!! Why isn’t Bill “The Rapist” Clinton behind bars?
All [some of] the President’s victims:
Bill Clinton’s long history of sexual violence against women
By Daniel J. Harris
& Teresa Hampton
Capitol Hill Blue
Although the White House has successfully intimidated NBC News into deep sixing an explosive interview with an Arkansas woman who says Bill Clinton raped her 20 years ago, Capitol Hill Blue has confirmed that the charge is but one of many allegations of sexual assault by the President.
A five month investigation into the President’s questionable sexual history reveal incidents that go back as far as Clinton’s college days, with more than a dozen women claiming his sexual appetites leave little room for the word ‘’no.’’
Juanita Broaddrick, an Arkansas woman who worked on Bill Clinton’s campaign when he was attorney general, told NBC’s Lisa Meyers two weeks ago she was raped by Clinton. NBC, under intense pressure by the White House, shelved the interview. The White House also threatened Fox News Tuesday after it reported the story.
But Broaddrick’s story is only one account of many sexual assaults by Clinton. Among the other incidents:
• A 1969 charge by a 19-year-old English woman who said Clinton assaulted her after she met him at a pub near the Oxford University campus where the future President was a student. A retired State Department employee, who asked not to be identified, confirmed this week that he spoke with the family of the girl and filed a report with his superiors. Clinton admitted having sex with the girl, but claimed it was consensual. The victim’s family declined to pursue the case;
• In 1972, a 22-year-old woman told campus police at Yale University that she was sexually assaulted by Clinton, who was a law student at the college. No charges were filed;
• In 1974, a female student at the University of Arkansas complained that then-law professor Bill Clinton tried to prevent her from leaving his office during a conference. She said he groped her and forced his hand inside her blouse. Clinton claimed the student ‘’came on’’ to him and she left the school shortly after the incident.
• Broaddrick, a volunteer in Clinton’s attorney general campaign, said he raped her in 1978;
• From 1978-1980, during Clinton’s first term as governor of Arkansas, state troopers assigned to protect the governor reported seven complaints from women who said Clinton forced, or attempted to force, himself on them sexually.
• Elizabeth Ward, the Miss Arkansas who won the Miss America crown in 1982, told friends she was forced by Clinton to have sex with him shortly after she won her state crown. Last year, Ward, who is now married with the last name of Gracen, told an interviewer she did have sex with Clinton but said it was consensual. She later recanted that interview and said had been threatened by Clinton supporters into claiming the sex was consensual.
• Paula Corbin [Jones], an Arkansas state worker, filed a sexual harassment case against Clinton after an encounter in a Little Rock hotel room where the then-governor exposed himself and demanded oral sex. Clinton settled the case with Jones recently with a cash payment.
• A former Washington, DC, political fundraiser says Presidential candidate-to-be Clinton invited her to his hotel room during a political trip to the nation’s capital in 1991, pinned her against the wall and stuck his hand up her dress. She says she screamed loud enough for the Arkansas State Trooper stationed outside the hotel suite to bang on the door and ask if everything was all right, at which point Clinton released her and she fled the room. When she reported the incident to her boss, he advised her to keep her mouth shut if she wanted to keep working. The woman has since married and left Washington.
• Kathleen Willey, a White House volunteer, reported that Clinton grabbed her, fondled her breast and pressed her hand against his genitals during an Oval Office meeting in November, 1993. Willey, who told her story in a 60 Minutes interview, became a target of a White House-directed smear campaign after she went public.
Don’t forget that all the people involved in the Mueller destroyed their text messages.
…not to mention the Biden family… who are tree deep in corruption and illicit activity - for DECADES…
Clients of Ghislaine Maxwell?
Adam Schiff lied to the American people for years WHILE CONDUCTING THE PUBLICS BUISINESS as head of his committee.
HUMA-—Hillary’s staunch friend had secret/classified info with her in her car & her PEDO husband had access to it all.
Paula Jones got $860,000 from Bill-—Who got that $$$$ from the Clinton Foundation most likely.
As the democrat party are raping this country with our hands tied behind our back they say they are justified because it is consensual.
When you own the news media anything is possible to get away with.
I doubt Article 1 section 6 was meant to give them the right to lie with impunity.
Did the founders comment on that at all?
I expect their answer would be “We are honorable men- we would not lie!”. Which, in those days, might have been true.
