Department of Justice guidelines recommend that prosecutors avoid filing charges or taking other investigatory measures close to E******n Day, so as to avoid contaminating the v**e. A rule of thumb suggests (but in no way requires) a 60-day buffer between hot prosecutorial action and an e******n. Today, we’re 65 days away from the midterm e******n.

Unless Mueller gets in gear and delivers his damning report on President Trump, we are looking at a red waver again. Democrats will have lost their leverage of impending impeachment. His delay could be 1). He is going to wait until day 59 to deliver his "findings" to Rosenstein or 2). He has no evidence to present.

We’re waiting for the rumored Roger Stone indictment to come down, and so is he. We’re waiting for the charges that might be filed against Don Jr. We’re waiting for special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to deliver his collusion and obstruction report to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. We’re waiting for Rudolph Giuliani’s counter-report to the Mueller report, which is almost finished even though Rudy hasn’t seen Mueller’s work. We’re waiting for Paul Manafort’s second trial, which starts on September 24.

But, through all the waiting, there seems to be no new news about Russia or our President's supposed collusion. And we see nothing about obstruction of justice. So, I ask you fine folks what, if anything, Mueller has on the President. Not those people who worked for him, but real incriminating evidence against our President.

The answer to that is obvious. We see America as our founders created her, you don't. We see the Constitution of the United States as the supreme law of the nation, you don't. We see in our founding documents the Christian principles of morality, you don't. We see the idea of a fundamental t***sformation of America into a socialist "paradise" as the most egregious and immoral internal assault on our nation in history, you don't. We love America as she was founded, as she was meant to be, you don't. How can we see America the way you want her to be and not see that as h**e?

America’s Crisis Is Three-Tiered Justice
Ned Ryun

Last week brought to the fore a serious problem now threatening to undermine the very foundations of America’s constitutional republic: we no longer have equal application of justice under the law. The rule of law has become trifurcated, with a different application of the law depending upon one’s position in the political hierarchy.

First, there’s one application of the law for members of the powerful elite who have the right political connections. Here, the law is more a series of suggestions that might or might not be followed with almost no legal consequences for non-compliance.

Example A, of course, is Hillary Clinton. Many people have gone to jail for doing what she did, including members of our armed forces. Yet she paid no consequences for violating laws on the use of classified information on her unsecured and illegal private server. She played games, likely for personal gain, with our national security. Yet she and her enablers and co-conspirators like her aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin are apparently above the law, even escaping consequences for lying to federal agents.

There is also the case of U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.). Her erstwhile Pakistani IT staff, who also worked for dozens of Democratic members of the House, had a history of highly questionable behavior, with some even suggesting that they potentially were running a spy ring inside of Congress, accessing computers and uploading sensitive information to the cloud to be accessed by foreign powers. Not only did federal prosecutors refuse to pursue anything regarding those allegations, but just this week, as Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen are having the book and the kitchen sink thrown at them over bank fraud, one of these staffers, Irwan Awan, got a slap on the wrist for a charge of bank fraud to which he pled guilty, will have no fines, and will serve no jail time. It seems likely that an investigation of these staffers would have turned up too much dirt on Democratic members of Congress.

Then there’s the application of the law for high-powered government bureaucrats. They can abuse their power, lie under oath, spy on Congress, pass around f**e dossiers, leak to the press while turning the bureaucracy into personal weapons against political opponents, but face no consequences save getting a fat contract as an on-air contributor from a news outlet.

And finally, there is the application of the law for the rest of us, the normal everyday Americans who bear the full brunt of the law for a single violation of mishandling classified information or any other breach of national security law. If you have the wrong political connections or aligned yourself against the establishment in any way, you get pre-dawn raids from an FBI that look more like the KGB’s modus operandi than that of a constitutional republic.

So if you try to tell me that we have equal application of justice under the law in America, you’re living in an alternate reality because what’s taking place around us points to arbitrary law.

This is a very real and fundamental problem for this country because if everything is arbitrary, nothing is sacred. And if nothing is sacred, and we start to just make up rules as we go along, society devolves. When the idea of law becomes arbitrary all we are left with as a society is competing opinions.

Society cannot stand the tension for too long: one of the opinions must become the new “right” or absolute. But the people who believe in the wrong opinions? Well, to resolve the tension they will be compelled, by force, to believe. And that is why all of this discussion about the equal application of justice and rule of law is so desperately important.
We were founded on the idea of rule of law, where all, regardless of last name or political affiliation or connections, stand equal before it. But we’ve now made it a farce. We have condoned political warfare by means of the law; call it “lawfare” if you will. There are two likely outcomes to this behavior: we risk our republic imploding and collapsing under the arbitrary hypocrisy of it all, or the people wake up and exact serious consequences for those guilty of such behavior. Both are ugly and painful outcomes. We must avoid the first at all costs, and endure the pain of the second to set things right.

Throughout history, in most nations, the powerful and elite thought they could play by different rules, and for periods of time they’re able to get away with it. Consider France’s old regime as well as its revolutionary period; power, not law, ruled the day.

Whether we are talking about kings who think they are the state, or revolutionary parties of the Left that think they the sovereign, the people are abused when law is only a tool for the powerful to wield. The ruling class and elites crushed those beneath them in France, living decadent and ostentatious lives, creating different rules that benefited themselves over the mere peasants. So detached were the French elites from reality that they were likely still confused when they were being trundled off to the guillotine. It didn’t matter if the rule of law was being abused by kings or elected officials, the rule of law was still abused to the detriment of the nation.

But the people throughout history have always cried out for justice, and if the ruling class in America is not careful and does not correct its mistakes and realize it too stands equal before the law, the people will come for them with pitchforks and torches.

After 33 years of decorated service, Gen. Michael Flynn has been silenced by Robert Mueller

There’s a reason why you haven’t heard much from Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn lately. The man who served his country honorably for 33 years has been effectively silenced by special counsel Robert Mueller as he awaits sentencing.

Given the circumstances of his plea deal, Flynn cannot speak publicly about anything related to the charges against him. Doing so could void his plea agreement with Mueller’s team and open him up to further legal proceedings that he is financially unable to defend himself against.

Flynn, who has worked his entire career on a government salary, has spent over one million dollars on his legal defense. The financial burden has forced him to sell his home in Alexandria, Virginia, and move into a family home in Rhode Island.

He has been effectively bankrupted and has had his reputation torn to shreds, all for the supposed crime of misleading the FBI about a perfectly legal conversation he had, as incoming national security adviser, with the former Russian ambassador to the U.S.

Remember that the charges against Flynn stem from his advocacy for a detente with Russia, in addition to his reported lobbying against an anti-Israel United Nations resolution, which the Obama administration infamously endorsed through omission by abstaining from the v**e. Neither of those activities are illegal or even immoral. In fact, foreign policy observers can be left to conclude that Gen. Flynn was merely acting in America’s best interests.

In order to come to the conclusion that Flynn apparently misled the FBI, the Obama intelligence community wiretapped Flynn’s conversations with the Russian ambassador. Those conversations were then leaked to the press by elements of the intelligence community, in gross violation of federal law. The FBI review found no evidence of wrongdoing by Gen. Flynn, except for the charge of lying to the FBI, a charge that is now reportedly being disputed by the agents who interviewed him.

President Trump’s initial pick for national security adviser had long been skeptical of the unchecked power of the U.S. intelligence community. Flynn wanted to prioritize several foreign policy agenda items, such as ending the Iran deal, moving the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.

There was one more priority item for Flynn. Through his experience as a general in foreign war zones, he found that there were several fractures in the intelligence cycle, which harmed U.S. troops’ ability to succeed on the battlefield. As national security adviser, Flynn intended to conduct an audit on the intelligence community as a whole. A full audit of the U.S. intelligence community’s activities has not been completed since 1975, following the Nixon administration’s Watergate scandal.

While serving in the Obama administration, Flynn’s earlier attempts at intelligence reform infuriated the upper echelons of the Pentagon and the Central Intelligence Agency. Flynn’s enemies list continued to grow when, as Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) director, he testified in front of the Congress and challenged the Obama White House narrative that al Qaeda had been “decimated.” The Obama administration forced him into early retirement shortly thereafter.

It became quite clear that the incoming national security adviser posed a direct challenge to the fourth branch of government — the unaccountable Washington bureaucrat class, including the intelligence community, which some have come to refer to as the “deep state.”

A man who has spent his entire life dedicated to his country, who has served in some of the world’s most dangerous war zones on behalf of the United States, has been targeted for destruction. Robert Mueller’s team of Democrat prosecutors — using unethical wiretaps, along with the now-contested testimony of wholly corrupt FBI officials — has silenced Gen. Michael Flynn.

Some of Flynn’s associates have suggested that he should set up a GoFundMe drive to help with his tremendous legal expenditures, in addition to his legal defense fund. The former DIA director has outright refused, on moral grounds. “He refuses to do it. He is an honorable man and will not ask for money,” a person close to Flynn tells CR, on condition of anonymity due to the legal situation.

After being intimidated into pleading guilty for lying to the FBI — when the charges continue to fall flat under increased scrutiny — a lifelong patriot who has committed virtually zero wrongdoing now faces the prospect of a multi-year prison term.

The intelligence community and Mueller’s team have used leaks to the media and contacts with members of the TV pundit class to recklessly attribute labels to Gen. Flynn. Without evidence, we have heard for years now that Flynn has colluded with the Russians, with some even claiming he committed a form of treason. Flynn, on the other hand, has been silenced through legal intimidation tactics. He cannot speak for himself, so others must make the case for him.

Lol, the depth of pettiness in this man knows no end. Of course he cannot say nothing, but he sort of managed to say nothing with his tweet (and not a public statement):

Capitalism at its finest. If there is a way to make a buck somebody will do it. I'd love to know who their customers were. They had to know those fancy turtles were illegal. Think of it. Rich people have secret art and antique collections so they show them to their friends and brag. I know guys with gun collections. Jay Leno has antique cars he collects. What kind of people invite their friends over so they can hear, " wow those sure are some impressively rare turtles you got there. "

As you say some people have way too much money. If I had it I can think of a million other ways I'd rather spend it.
