They need to go to jail.<\/p>\n<p>And there are other parties that had a direct hand in this conspiracy.\u00a0 John Brennan and James Clapper are up to their elbows in this thing.\u00a0 Letting them walk away unscathed would be a travesty of justice.\u00a0 With respect to the echelons above them, I assume they\u2019ve insulated themselves and only a confession by Comey, Brennan or Clapper could shed light on higher level culpability.\u00a0 I\u2019ll leave that for later consideration if we ever see justice reach as far as the mid-level criminals.<\/p>\n<p>Strzok, McCabe and Comey should go to prison.\u00a0 But will they?\u00a0 Six months ago, I would have said yes.\u00a0 But it\u2019s six months later and nothing has happened.\u00a0 Barr made a lot of noise about spying and the inappropriate actions taken by the FBI.\u00a0 He appointed Durham in May 2019, a year ago, to look into all aspects of the Russian collusion scam.\u00a0 And what has happened?\u00a0 As far as I can tell, nothing.\u00a0 My belief is that Barr and Durham are collecting evidence and waiting to see who wins the 2020 election.\u00a0 If Trump wins maybe they\u2019ll slap a few wrists and publish a report about how to stop such atrocious things from ever happening again.\u00a0 If the Dems win, they\u2019ll publish a report saying that everything was done by the book and the system works beautifully.<\/p>\n<p>I had thought that I was as cynical as it was possible to be.\u00a0 I was wrong.\u00a0 I now believe that the deep state is basically immune to reform.\u00a0 Barr is an insider.\u00a0 He has done nothing and that is all he intends to do.\u00a0 It will take an outsider who tears it down with a wrecking ball to make it change.\u00a0 I only hope that when President Trump is re-elected that he appoints a new attorney general whose background is in the military and this man demolishes the alphabet bureaus from the top down and rebuilds them with honest men.\u00a0 But that is probably a fantasy that will never be realized.<\/p>\n<p>Understand, I would like nothing better than to be proven completely wrong about Barr\u2019s intentions.\u00a0 If I looked at the news tomorrow morning and it had a photo of Comey being frog-marched out of his house in his pajamas at 3 a.m. I would be the happiest man in the world.\u00a0 Hearing that Peter Strzok was turning state\u2019s evidence and had implicated his boss McCabe in treason would make me giddy with delight.\u00a0 But with every passing day I think it\u2019s more and more clear that President Trump is the only honest man in Washington.\u00a0 And because he is, I guess that the only honorable treatment that General Flynn will experience in this whole travesty is a pardon from the President when everyone else fails to serve justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I guess I might as well put in my two cents on General Flynn\u2019s case.\u00a0 With the release of the latest withheld notes between<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,6],"tags":[184,135,143,1863,1862,2158,649,1872,651,895,16,1678],"class_list":["post-10746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-events","category-trump","tag-comey","tag-deep-state","tag-drain-the-swamp","tag-james-clapper","tag-john-brennan","tag-john-durham","tag-mccabe","tag-michael-flynn","tag-peter-strzok","tag-russia-investigation","tag-trump","tag-william-barr"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 -
