Trump has shed a Bright Light on How Corrupt our Government Really is

For years most of us have known that there are different rules for different people in the United States.  The Politicians for sure have a whole different set of rules than the rest of us.  We have all watched and knew that our Government was full of corrupt people at many different levels.

Now it is on full display and we no longer are just assuming it is corrupt, we can see it in plain sight.  We can see how the different rules apply.  We can see the depth of the corruption. 

Unless you are just so stuck in your partisan politics you can't deny the two sides of the justice in Washington DC.  It is without question that what Hillary Clinton did with the email server was a crime.  Call it reckless or whatever.  There was lying and destroying evidence, again not a question, fully admitted too by people.  Yet there was no indictments or charges? 

Then you look at the Russia Collusion investigation.  Thus far there has been no evidence that has shown any collusion between Trump and the Russians.  There have been indictments for sure.  Indictment for money laundering well before one aide was involved in the Trump Campaign.  Indictment for lying to the FBI.  (wait what?  They charge people with that? Not in the Clinton case)

So if lying to the FBI is a crime why wasn't any of the Clinton team indicted?  Because they were protected by the main players in the system.  James Comey, Andrew McCabe and Loretta Lynch all had Clinton's back.  All of whom have come under fire now.

The Special Counsel is also looking into possible obstruction charges over the firing of FBI Director James Comey.  Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle had been asking for him to fired for months.  Even Trump's former opponent in the election thought Comey should be fired.  But when Trump fired him everyone on one side of the aisle cried obstruction.  So a Special Counsel should look into that?

Lest we forget about the infamous meeting between AG Loretta Lynch and former President Bill Clinton on an airplane tarmac in Phoenix.  In the middle of the Investigation into Hillary Clinton and they meet on an airplane in the middle of a tarmac at the Phoenix airport?  Yet there was no Special Council to look into this?  Interesting.

A NYPOST.com story explains it pretty clear.

“Bill said, ‘I want to bushwhack Loretta,’ ” the adviser recalled. “ ‘I’m going to board her plane. What do you think?’ And I said, ‘There’s no downside for you, but she’s going to take a pounding if she’s crazy enough to let you on her plane.’

“He knew it would be a huge embarrassment to Loretta when people found out that she had talked to the husband of a woman — the presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party — who was under criminal investigation by the FBI,” the adviser continued. “But he didn’t give a damn. He wanted to intimidate Loretta and discredit [FBI Director James] Comey’s investigation of Hillary’s emails, which was giving Hillary’s campaign agita.”

Bill hung up the phone and turned to a Secret Service agent.
“As soon as her plane lands,” he said, “get the attorney general on the phone and say the president would like to have a word with her.”

Once inside Lynch’s plane, Bill turned on the Clinton charm. He gave Lynch’s shoulder an affectionate squeeze and shook hands with her husband, Stephen Hargove.
“Bill said he could tell that Loretta knew from the get-go that she’d made a huge mistake,” his adviser said. “She was literally trembling, shaking with nervousness. Her husband tried to comfort her; he kept patting her hand and rubbing her back.

“Bill made small talk about golf and grandchildren and [former Attorney General] Janet Reno, and he kept at it for nearly a half-hour. It didn’t make any difference what they talked about; all he wanted to do was send a message to everyone at Justice and the FBI that Hillary had the full weight of the Clinton machine, the Democratic Party, and the White House behind her.

But in the eyes of the corrupt powers to be in Washington, nothing to see here. 

These are only a few of the big stories that show how corruption and unfair justice has permeated at the highest levels of our Government.  Our Government is suppose to work for us, not for the powerful and elite.  They like to talk about how one party works for the middle class and poor and how one party is all about the rich and corporations.  How about we get rid of this corruption and start governing for the people.
