Targeted political prosecutions
Harvey Silverglate weighs in on the motivations for the Justice Department’s current spate of prosecutions of politicians and ex-politicians. Many of the accused are Republicans, of course, but not all:
What has become clear, however, is that the department’s war against local politicians will continue, and that its motivations will lie somewhere between the quest for federal power and partisan politics.
The Chicago way is only for the folks in power in Washington and their lackeys, I guess. They don’t want anyone else taking a leaf out of their book. And of course any Republican frontrunner must be taken down, and there are many tools available to do that.
If the Tea Party had established 501 status as lobby groups with unlimited usage of lobbying funds, they would have become too powerful for the unions and GOP to eliminate.
501 status is extremely powerful as a weapon, in the way the Left uses it.
I estimate that their attack on politicians is to place temporary pressure, until the final moves have been made in the End Game. The game that will end all games.
I was so totally wrong about the media and Christie. Gave them too much strategy thinking. I thought the media would “resurrect” Christie because he was their favorite Republican candidate. Not hardly. They can’t help themselves and have gone so overboard. I hope it teaches Christie something; Ihope he remains a governor and a against union and deficit tyranny.
And as far as D’Souza, he’s already received more publicity and favorable mention which will increase his stock than if the partisan and ham-handed attack had never occurred.
Not the only thing wrong about, Maru.

Rereading that little incident, it reminds me of both persecutions and Republican GOP upcoming purge (if successfully done by the TeaParty grassroots).
While all this in fight and pre coup preparations may not necessarily derail my expected strategic projections for the next 1-2 decades of life in the US, it will be interesting to live through. Although “live through” is not exactly guaranteed either, at this time.
Certainly, let’s fight it out. We won’t get another chance. And btw, Horo’s name will be on TWO lists at the beginning, middle, and end of the war. Two.
I think Silvergate answers your prior “It Doesn’t Make Sense” post.
It feels so strange to believe that our president and his cabinet would do something so thuggish as blackmail members of Congress & SCOTUS justices in order to implement their agenda, but look at what they’ve done so far? I fear what we’ve seen is only the tip of the iceberg with this Chicago crew, and we may know the extent of the nudges performed by all of his little federal soldiers in the IRS, DOJ, EPA, Homeland Security, etc.
Lizzy, Obama sold weapons to AQ in Libya that was probably used to shoot down and kill the Seal Teams in Afghanistan.
I doubt blackmail can be considered all that bad on the scale of things.
The tip of the iceberg is correct. In most of life, humans see less than 10% of the Leftist alliance’s full power. That’s the tip of the iceberg. The rest is hidden from view.
The Left was always like this and always would be like this, they didn’t need Obama for it. Obama just accelerated things. I was never surprised at what people were talking about Obama, because I expected the Left to do it in the next 50 years. Whether it was by Obama or somebody else, didn’t really matter. It was expected. It was predicted.
Those who kept thinking “we ain’t seen nothing yet” during 2009 over Obama antics, and did not attribute it to mere corruption, greed, incompetence, or stupidity on the part of the Democrats, had a clue. They at least, had a clue.
