					<description><![CDATA[From part of a comment (slightly edited) that I just left at

https://www.thenewneo.com/2019/03/30/the-soft-coup-killing-a-king/#comment-2429218  :


If the United States stands for anything beyond what has been called “the law of the jungle,” then we MUST live by the principles of Justice and Benevolence. (Neither of which is to be conflated with something called “Social Justice,” however interpreted; nor with forced “Charity,” which is an expression of rule by fear and manipulated emotional reactions, neither of which has anything to do with Benevolence.)

And by the way, “Compassion” is meaningless without Justice.

&lt;em&gt;“Justice must be done, and &lt;strong&gt;it must be SEEN&lt;/strong&gt; to have been done.”&lt;/em&gt;

Otherwise, status + clout + $ can be counted on to get you off the hook, and we Americans — regardless of political position — will lose a bit more respect for the law, for our legal system, for our government, and for our nation.

Does anyone think that Hillary Clinton has the slightest respect for any of these things?

.

Pres. Trump said, fairly soon after he took office, that he thought it best not to indict Hillary. (I presume this was on the grounds of “it would tear the country apart” — which was Nixon’s excuse for not challenging the results of the 1960 election. This was the line being pushed by most right-ish and conservative commentators, advisors, and pundits at the time.)

But on Hannity, in the last week or two IIRC, the President said that he no longer holds that view.

Good for him!

(And I’m no different from anybody else. In a way the prospect is very scary if he does that. But is the prospect of giving in to corruption and the rule by gangsters less frightening? But he will need the strongest possible backing by the Republicans and a vocal and well-informed base in order to succeed.)]]></description>

There WAS a time to let bygones be bygones, and Trump took it. After the election, which he won partly by NeverHillary folk like me hearing him promise “Lock her up”, after he won, he said he didn’t want to lock her up.
Promise broken.
Trump was letting the DOJ/FBI Clinton cover-up be a bygone.

BUT – the deep state (and Hillary? and Obama? ) didn’t stop.

This has a lot of semblance to the position of the Palestinians, who have rejected scores of generous peace proposals from Israel because they will settle for nothing less than the total destruction of the Jewish state.
The Democrats support the Palestinians; they generally did before, now do without reservation.

Same mindset for both situations.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There WAS a time to let bygones be bygones, and Trump took it.  After the election, which he won partly by NeverHillary folk like me hearing him promise &quot;Lock her up&quot;, after he won, he said he didn&#039;t want to lock her up.
Promise broken.
Trump was letting the DOJ/FBI Clinton cover-up be a bygone.

BUT - the deep state (and Hillary? and Obama? ) didn&#039;t stop.

So, now it&#039;s time to defend the &quot;rule of law&quot; -- meaning the Dems obey the same rules as the Reps, and get investigated &#038; tried for the same crimes.
Big difference is that the Reps are innocent (or else the Dem media would have previously found out), but the Dems are guilty ( since they have Dem media protection, and the court of public opinion usually rules).

&lt;i&gt;This is not a matter of vengeance. It is a matter of preserving the central core of our democratic republic, which turns on the integrity of our elections. &lt;/i&gt; Roger Kimball

We need a special prosecutor to investigate the Clinton email crimes, the cover-up/ destruction of evidence crimes, and the associated crimes.

America would be stronger, longer, if 100 or more guilty deep state criminals get tried.

&quot;Lock Them Up&quot; -- I read that there was that chant at the rally.
Justice loving Americans demand that, and deserve it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It seems that Schiff---and the MSM, generally---firmly believes the adage, albeit charming, that &quot;It ain&#039;t lying if you believe it!&quot;

(Well, charming if you&#039;re a four year old.)

Smollett, too, of course. Though Smollett can &quot;go historical&quot; on us and claim that even if his &quot;excellent adventure&quot; was fake it&#039;s accurate---illustrating, as it does(!) the age-old problems of race in America. (But no mention, please, of any improvements in that realm.) So America is to blame. 

And of course, Trump.... &#039;Nuff said!

Yes, the hydra-headed Narrative (TM) is still alive and kicking; and will thrive for the foreseeable future as the claims against Trump become even more unhinged, as if that were possible. (Yes, it&#039;s possible. More that that, it will happen.)

Because the stakes are too high---and face it, lying is OK as long as you&#039;re lying for the right cause.

And &quot;The best defense is an unstoppable offense.&quot;

To be sure, Brennan &quot;fell off the wagon&quot; in a moment of uncertainty (and shame, perhaps...? Sorry, bad joke---it was probably fear); but I expect he&#039;ll climb right back on and start fulminating as grandly as ever.

Because lying for &quot;the Revolution&quot; is legit. Is TRUTH!

Because lying by the &quot;resistance&quot; is just another way to stick it to the deplorables---and their despicable leader.

Because the Narrative (TM) uber alles.

Because POWER.]]></description>
