The announcement came July 5th. The FBI is recommending no charges to be filed against Hillary Clinton in the email scandal.
This is shocking. It’s also not surprising.
Donald Trump has been echoing what many of us have been saying for some time now about our government and justice department – it’s rigged.
What makes this so especially egregious in the Clinton case is that the FBI made the announcement the very day after Independence Day…A day when we celebrate the founding of our nation and the constitutional principles it was predicated upon.
Surely Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Adams, Washington et al are spinning in their graves.
Our founders deserved better than this. They risked their lives along with many others in order to found a nation upon which liberty and justice would reign supreme. Blood was shed and thousands of lives were lost in the revolution – and later wars – in order to preserve our unique constitutional republic.
Now after eight years of a closet communist community organizer’s “fundamental transformation” of what was once a great nation, we have been reduced to the level of cronyism one would find in a third world banana republic – except that would be to insult the integrity of banana republics.
The transformation into a politically correct, multicultural cesspool is nearly complete – along with a multi-tentacled “big gubmit” behemoth that is ready, willing and able to squash all dissent under the force of what it calls “law”.
The law of the founders would have easily landed Hillary Clinton behind bars many years ago for any one of the numerous scandals and shady dealings of the Clinton Crime Family.
The “law” today seemingly exists to stifle free speech, religion and the middle class. This “law” applies only to the opposition and “the little people”. The Clintons have always considered themselves to be above the law, and somehow they always seem to avoid any consequences for deeds that would involve incarceration for an average American.
Hillary’s illegal email server was designed to keep prying eyes off of the disreputable financial goings on of the Clinton Foundation. Millions of dollars from foreign interests have passed through the foundation that were apparently used to gain favor and access to our government. In addition to concealing what many say amounts to a money laundering racket, our nation’s security has been severely compromised.
And after all of that - from FBI Director James Comey: “No recommended charges”.
