Merritt Garland, in justifying the raid on Mar-a-Lago, informed us, and the world, that in the august halls of his department of justice, (DOJ) no one is above the law.
Let’s put that pious declaration to the test.
Were thousands of rioters in the streets over the last few years, who burned dozens if not hundreds of buildings, pulled down statues, and terrorized whole neighborhoods; were they pursued? Or are they above the law?
Oh, wait. They were, to a person, supporters of the Democrat party.
Was Hillary Clinton who had classified documents on a private server in her bathroom; was she pursued? Or is she above the law?
Oh wait, she’s a very influential democrat.
Was Hunter Biden, who reaped millions selling access to his father’s office and paid no taxes on those millions; was he pursued? Or is he above the law?
Oh wait his father is a very powerful Democrat.
Are thousands, no millions of foreign nationals streaming across our border and taking up residence in the United States. Are they being pursued or are they above the law?
Oh wait, most of those will, in no time at all, be Democrat voters.
Were dozens and hundreds of people demonstrating at Supreme Court justices homes in violation of federal law—were they above the law?
Oh wait. They were, to a person, Democrats in support of the left wing agenda.
The answer, in all of the above cases, is that the law looked at their felonious actions and could find no fault with them. It’s curious I suppose, or mere coincidence maybe, that they are ALL aligned with the Democrat party and enjoy the protection of both the left leaning legal system, and the left-wing media.
But every coin has two sides.
Hundreds of people who trespassed in the capital on January 6 have been relentlessly pursued and many are now sitting in jail. They are certainly not above the law.
But wait. They were supporters of Donald Trump.
General Flynn, who remembered something wrong and therefore lied to the FBI, was pursued to the point that he had to sell his home to cover legal expenses. He was certainly not above the law.
But wait, he was a supporter of Donald Trump.
Rudy Giuliani, we just learned, is now being investigated in the state of Georgia. He certainly is not above the law.
But wait he is a supporter of Donald Trump.
Roger Stone was frog marched out of his house in the twilight of the early morning in handcuffs for his alleged offenses. He certainly was not above the law.
But wait, he was a supporter of Donald Trump.
This litany could go on, but why? The pattern is perfectly clear.
Democrats, or those who support them, have nothing to fear from the law. It looks quite past their occasional lapses in judgment.
Republicans on the other hand had best mind their P’s and Q’s, because any slight offense will be pursued to the ends of the earth.
What Merritt Garland actually meant when he informed us that no one in his justice department is above the law was that no Republican, and especially no supporter of Donald Trump, is above the law.
Come to think of it…
Can you think of any Democrat or supporter of Democrats that has had to face the stiff arm of justice in the last few years?
Can you think of any Republican or supporter of Republicans who has not?
it would appear that we, just like any two-bit banana Republic, now have a two-tiered justice system. One tier for those who have the protection of the powerful. And one tier for those who do not.
It was gratifying, recently, to hear that finally, a rioter in Portland had been tried and sentenced to 10 years in jail. But in the fine print you read that he was a member of the proud boys.
A supporter of Donald Trump.
Lady justice wears a blindfold. We see that wherever we see her image. The symbolism is powerful. It means that “I, lady justice, see nothing of offenders. Justice is served only on what I hear in the hallowed Halls of justice.”
But in today’s administration of justice, she seems to have one little finger pushing that blindfold up just enough that she can see peoples transgressions—and most importantly, who the transgressors are.
And it seems that those transgressors are always viewed through her right eye.
