WASHINGTON ABOUT TO BE ENGULFED WITH LEGAL WARFARE
WILL CONFLAGRATION CLEANSE OR CONSUME?
We have been witnessing a slow but steady increase in political and legal maneuvering that is about to become an all out legal war on many fronts.
We have investigations by the House and Senate committees which have indicated massive corruption at the FBI and the Department of Justice. We have the Inspector General investigating along the same lines. The Department of Justice has several simultaneous investigations focused on several fronts. The Mueller investigation is appearing to be near a climax. This is now looking like a political legal crises that is likely to rock Washington for a long time.
No matter if you are a Republican or Democrat with an ounce of objective reasoning, you must admit that something was terribly wrong at the FBI and Justice Department concerning the treatment of Hillary Clinton during the last election. The behavior of James Comey, the FBI director, and Loretta Lynch , the Attorney General, exposed a ham fisted inappropriate manipulation of the legal system that may have cost Hillary Clinton the election. I was not a supporter of Clinton and the only conclusion I could come up with was that the Obama administration was manipulating Clinton to run in a fashion that would be an extension of the Obama legacy. Only history will reveal if this was true.
This was just an early indication that things were amiss at not only these two departments, but the IRS, the State department and possibly other departments as well. All these shenanigans were expected to be protected by the anticipation of the Hillary Clinton presidency. Comey would be a powerful director in the image of J. Edgar Hoover, Top officials who cooperated would be rewarded with advancements and power. Loretta Lynch would be the Attorney general for a second president. Obama would be able to continue his fundamental transformation of America. the Clinton foundation would continue to be a slush fund for all those deserving causes. The Justice department would be able to continue extorting money from banks and businesses and funneling it into preferred organizations. Then the unthinkable happened.
DONALD TRUMP WON THE ELECTION!
Not only did disappointment sweep over the corrupt players in Washington, but overwhelming fear.
Trump stated that he was willing to overlook the past and not pursue any investigations into Clinton. Obviously the players understood that exposure would be imminent if they lost control of their positions. It appears they set off on a path of political and legal survival that has now come to were we are today. There are indications that the now Assistant Attorney general, the leaders in the FBI, present and former, and other top officials are at risk due to the coming exposure of numerous scandals. It now seems that there is no turning back for anyone. The Inspector General, the Senators and House members who have all seen the corruption can not keep it under wraps any longer. The Special counsel probably believes he needs to go all out to indict as many Trump associates as he can. If they can bring down the whole administration maybe they can all survive. History repeats the delusion of people who have lived by wielding power that they can overcome anything if they continue to fight.
It is now too late for any of that. It is now about to become out of the control of all the participants in this massive power play. Washington is about to get the gust of oxygen that will ignite the smoldering mess into a fire that will consume the whole town. Hopefully, God willing, it will cleanse the corrupt and unrepentant and set the stage for a rebuilding and better Government.
