Loyalty

Like any human, Trump has his share of flaws. One that is beginning to disturb me is the premium he places on the loyalty of his subordinates. He said recently that he admired Eric Holder for his unflinching loyalty to President Obama ... through thick and thin ... see: Business Insider Story. Now this offhand remark might be a consequence of the hounding he has been subjected to by the slow-motion coupe attempted by the gang of Hillary and the deep state, but it still suggests that Holder's participation in and cover-up of illegal activities is OK with The Donald because of Holder's extreme loyalty.

I suppose I might be too much of a purist, but when illegal activities are tolerated and swept under the carpet, then the possible severe consequences of these evil deeds can easily escalate into a holocaust ... as we saw in Germany just eighty years ago. Not only did Holder (and Loretta Lynch) likely brake the law out of loyalty, but the miasma that arose from these misfeasances has tainted the Justice Department for years to come.

So please, President Trump, give us peons at least the notion that things will be on the up and up during your time in the White House. And give Jeff Sessions a pat on the back for trying to do the right thing as out chief law enforcer. Perhaps his recusal example might cause our next AG to also do the honorable thing when the stakes might be even higher. President Trump, if your nose is clean in this Russian matter, I believe that the American people will see through any attempt to run you out of town on a rail. They did somehow know to elect you over that much bigger danger.

Reverse Midas Touch

Manure is flying all over the place and the fan has not even been turned on yet. FBI Director James Comey is being besmirched by many for his letter to Congress last week reversing his decision on Servergate. However, what is forgotten is that Attorney General Loretta Lynch had told Comey that this Hellary Clinton e-mail issue was his to decide because she had been compromised. What would normally be a Justice Deptartment prerogative was shifted to the FBI. And why was this? The Arizona airport meeting between Lynch and Bill Clinton basically soured the normal process and put the weight of the world on Comey's shoulders.

So the real source of this shit storm is Bill Clinton for his out-of-bounds meeting with our Attorney General just days before her decision was to be made on Hellary's e-mail server fecal faux pas. So we now see that the Clinton couple has once again tarnished two major American institutions. This couple has an alchemist knack for turning gold into baby poop ... a reverse Midas touch if you will.

Starting over 40 years ago with Hellary being tossed off of the Watergate Committee for untrustworthiness ... through her dangerous screwing around with our health-care system ... then including Bill Clinton's amoral sullying of the White House ... to SecState Hillary's feckless destruction of the Middle East ... through many other doo-doo details that the Clintons have left in their wake as they have defiled individual and institution after individual and institution.

Basically just about anything that this evil couple touches turns to excrement ... and yet millions of Americans want to put them back into the White House! Go figure?!

What if Trump Loses?

Since I recently penned a blog on the possibility of Trump winning, I have to be fair and offer suggestions in case he loses ... and his opponent, I think it is Hellary Clinton, wins:

- Everyone will be required to learn to speak Spanish

- The Clinton Foundation will absorb the Ford, Carnegie and Rockefeller Foundations

- Donald Trump will lose his IRS audit to the tune of $5 billion

- Michelle Obama, Cheryl Mills and Loretta Lynch will be named to the Supreme Court

- The Koran will replace the Gideon Bible in most hotel rooms

- Bernie Sanders will "buy" a villa on Lago Como

- John Podesta will head the State Dept., Sid Blumenthal, the CIA

- Most drug stocks will tank

- George Soros will buy Philip Morris and make cannabis-only cigarettes

- Mar a Largo will be shuttered for numerous sanitary violations

- The Summer White House will be located  next to the NY Presbyterian Hospital

- Paul Ryan will switch parties

- Bill Clinton will be put out to stud

- BB guns will be the only ones allowed ... but they can't be scary looking

Misdirection

The Obummer administration does one thing really very well ... changing the subject of course. This is with the sleazy cooperation of the elite media and those peevish parolees in the House of Representatives.  It was a mere ten days ago that the self-declared ISIS supporter, Omar Mateen, killed 49 patrons of the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

And how has this story been portrayed? Not as an Islamic terrorist act nor as an anti-gay hate crime by a Muslim? No, it is another random act of violence somehow perpetrated by guns alone. Our increasingly political Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, even retreated into Clintonian legalese when she said that we may never know the "precise" reason for this massacre.

And the media are co-conspirators in this political misdirection. They have been running banner headlines and op-eds blaming the guns used by Mateen, even though both were obtained legally. And a small Pack N Play group of militant Democrats staged a tantrum yesterday on the House floor to do what? To change the subject once again away from the embarrassment caused by the blatant incompetence and/or subterfuge of Obummer and his band of Muslim Brotherhood wannabes.

Common sense be damned! This misdirection is comparable to a pickpocket who elbows you in the side as he slips your wallet out of your back pocket.

Never mind that the Republicans have offered multiple fair gun laws that might help curb gun violence ... all of which were filibustered by the Democrats ... for it is not really the laws that the Democrats and elite media want. They want the issue ...  and to be able to change the subject away from radical Muslim extremism.

The reason for this misdirection is beyond adult understanding ... given that Muslim jihadism is being papered over ... putting everyone, even these truculent Democrats, in peril. Is it that winning elections is more important than our lives?

Hell Year -- Month 4

Attorney General Loretta Lynch has generally seemed to be fairly rational at the Justice Department (other than her slow-walking the Hellery Clinton private e-mail server prosecution.) However, she has now gone full-throated political in her attack on North Carolina's gender-specific bathroom law. John Hinderaker, an excellent lawyer, has dissected this Lynch decision at the Powerline Blog and finds it to be without any semblance of legal logic.

I have in the past surmised that President Obummer would slake a vengeance in his last year on the country he has misgoverned for a seeming eternity ... see: Hell Year. This Justice Department attack on North Carolina, threatening to freeze federal funding to it unless it toes the administration's transgender line, is but another of these vengances. We are now into month four of Obummer's hazing of his countrymen before he retires to Chicago or Hawaii next January to write his Manifesto. And I am not the only one who feels that Obummer will salt the fields and poison the wells of his "native" land on his way out ... see: Michael Savage Comments..

And there are a few more of these paddlings that are currently  in the Obummer pipeline ... see: The Hill Story and Fox News Story.. And I am certain that there are more to come ... each getting more onerous as his sun is finally setting.

Tortoise Justice

The Justice Department under Attorney General Loretta Lynch is slow-walking the investigation and possible prosecution of Hellery Clinton in the case involving her using a private e-mail server while she was Secretary of State ... for details see: Washington Post Story. Clearly, since Ms. Clinton is the presumptive nominee of the Democrat party for president, this case has enormous political implications and thus has caused unprecedented problems for this investigation.

As the onset of this imbroglio was last summer when it seems the FBI was first involved using many dozens of its agents, and, as such, a rational person would conclude that the FBI might have wrapped up this case by now, no? No! Obviously, no matter how cleverly our AG Lynch wordsmiths this issue, she is obviously kicking the legal can down the road ... hoping she can postpone things until after this November's election ... at which point it will go away ... for who's going to indict an elected president or punish the loser?

I'm sure our AG knows that old saw -- justice delayed is justice denied. Allow me my own shibboleth -- the dirty oil of politics doesn't mix with the pure water of justice. The people of the United States deserve better than this out of our tortoise-in-chief law-enforcement officer.

Hip Hip Horray

This is the best news I have heard in a long long while ... it seems that a grand jury may have been empaneled to weigh in on Hellary Clinton's possible felonious use of a private e-mail server while she was Secretary of State. It is also thought that the FBI has broadened this investigation to include political corruption involving her possible illegal activities related to the Clinton Foundation's dealings with the State Department ... see: Daily Caller Story ... and the FBI apparently has 150 to 200 agents working on these possibilities.

It is said that Joseph diGenova, the source of these notions and a former federal attorney for the District of Columbia, seems to have some idea of what may be going on inside the FBI and the Department of Justice. If this be the case, this is a very dramatic development and belies Hellery's fatuous claim that the FBI is just performing a "security review." Boy, I sure hope diGenova is right! The only rubs may be that these investigations may be only focused on Hellery's aides, Huma Abadin and Cheryl Mills. ... or that Attorney General Loretta Lynch may squelch things at the last minute. I daily pray that this evil woman, Hellery, gets her due in due time.

Where are my pompoms?

The Great Seducer

Donald Trump is a great seducer. He gives young children at the Iowa State Fair rides on his helicopter. He promises old children to build the Trump wall across our southern border with Mexico ... actually now only 1000 miles of a Trump wall for, apparently, it is not needed along the other 900 miles (sound familiar?) Whether The Donald is worth ten billion dollars is unimportant because he behaves as though he is worth that much ... and that is all that counts.

Trump is obviously a huckster in the tradition of P.T. Barnum and Robert Ripley ... and Americans are suckers for hucksters. So there seems an outside chance that Donald Trump might become our next president. I do believe that he could do a ton of good in this role, but he could also do a lot of damage.

If Trump were to go in worth $10 billion, I suspect he might come out worth $50 billion ... unless some strict ethical standards were enforced during his tenure. And, for some stupid reason, this country has gotten quite lax in enforcing ethical guidelines. Perhaps one way that this might be accomplished would be for Trump to be forced to keep Loretta Lynch on as Attorney General? Thus, although Trump might purge the rest of his cabinet of incompetent political hacks, the Aegean Stables at the Department of Justice would have to wait for its catharsis until our next president.

A New Broom

A grand jury, under the new Attorney General (AG) Loretta Lynch, has just indicted Denny Hastert, the former Republican Speaker of the House on the strange charge of violating banking laws to pay hush money to some unnamed person ... see: Washington Post Story. This coupled with the previous indictment of that rogue New Jersey Democrat Senator Robert Manendez on corruption charges ... see: Washington Post Story ... suggests that the Obama administration may be using its Justice Department as a political hammer.

Since, to me, it is clear that Washington is chock-a-block full of crooks of all stripes, the real test for our new AG will be how many more of these miscreants she brings before the docks. How about Representative Charlie Rangel on tax evasion? How about Senator Harry Reid on misusing the IRS? How about Representative Nancy Pelosi on corruption? How about that presidential confidant Al Sharpton on tax evasion? How about Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation on RICO charges? How about our president himself for flaunting his oath of office and numerous crony-capitalism payoffs?

If Loretta Lynch has brought a new broom with her into her new job, I would love to see her begin to sweep clean that snake pit of our nation's capital. How about it, AG?

Cops' Lives Matter

The four very recent cop killings in Hattiesburg, Mississippi (see: Daily Mail Article), New York City and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho tell me that the Department of Justice's narrative about police being out of control seems a little lopsided ... see: Officer Down Memorial Page. Will Al Sharpton pay a visit to Hattiesburg (after all one of the slain cops was black)?

Perhaps President Obama and Attorney General Loretta Lynch have a hidden agenda after all?

(I do realize that the title of this blog is a dog whistle ...)

Afterward: As evidence of this hidden agenda: Breitbart Article.

Walter Mitty

Sometimes I like to slip into my Walter Mitty persona and imagine myself to be someone important … like a U.S. Senator sitting on the Judiciary Committee interviewing Loretta Lynch for her new position as Attorney General. My questioning might go something like this:

Me: Ms. Lynch, your predecessor, Eric Holder is your personal friend and confident and, I understand, he has sought your advice on many of his more controversial legal positions. Now I consider Mr. Holder to be the worst Attorney General since John Mitchell and he was the first Attorney General ever held in contempt of Congress. Because of this nexus, I would like to have you give us what you advised Mr. Holder on a number of his more contentious poses:

Me: Do you agree that we should be holding a trial for that enemy combatant, Abu Hamza al-Masn, in New York City, when, according to administrative precedent he should have been sent to Guantanamo?

Ms. Lynch: those noises that Charlie Brown’s teacher makes when talking to him.

Me: Would you have prosecuted those New Black Panthers for their intimidation activities at the Philadelphia polling places in 2008?

Ms. Lynch: a convoluted legal argument full of “whereas”s, “whatfor”s, and stare decisis

Me: Do you agree with the Attorney General that we are a nation of cowards for not discussing race relations more?

Ms. Lynch: yada, yada, yada

Me: Do you concur that Mr. Holder should have been held in contempt of Congress for withholding critical documents in the “Fast and Furious” scandal?

Ms. Lynch: Now you are asking me to violate the confidentiality between a client and his lawyer.

Me: Is President Obama within Constitutional bounds if he chooses to use an executive action to give green cards to millions of illegal immigrants?

Ms. Lynch: Senator Mitty, I think your questioning time has expired …

Pukata … pukata …
