Government sucks at almost everything. Except protecting it’s own. Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI agent who fabricated evidence to justify the Obama Administration’s illegal spying on Carter Page, gets off with barely a slap on the wrist. A $100 fine isn’t a penalty, it is a slap in the face to anybody who wanted to see justice done.
If there was any doubt left, the message just sent makes it crystal clear. The Deep State can do whatever the hell it wants to the American people and their elected representatives. And nobody will ever be held responsible. The Deep State is telling us: We can run half-ass e-mail servers out of our basements to avoid oversight. We can cook up half-baked excuses to spy on political campaigns we don’t like. We can sabotage Presidential Administrations we don’t like from within. We can lie to the Commander in Chief about troop levels to keep wars going we like. We can run deliberately unsecure elections. And then tell you to your face they were the most secure ever. You want evidence? We just told you so. That’s your evidence.
We. Rule. You.
That is the message the Deep State is rubbing in our faces. They make the rules. And we live by them. Don’t like it? Too bad and STFU.
Americans won’t stand for it. The people have a breaking point.
