The nation is in a nose dive! Our law enforcement is a farce when it comes to holding establishment elites accountable. Despite all the noise and hype in the mainstream media, nothing ever happens when it comes to holding the Muellers, Clintons, Obamas, Comeys, Brennans, and Clappers to the bar of Lady Justice!
Our inert Attorney General Jeff Sessions sits on top of a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) that has become compromised to its core. Staffed with about 97 percent of Obama-Clinton loyalists. It and its sister agency the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have no interest in holding the establishment elite to the legal standards expected of the rest of us, but instead simply pretend that there will be justice. The same is true of Congress, whose dog and pony roadshows boost ratings on Fox News and elsewhere but do little other than help raise funds for the elections of these compromised politicians.
I am an optimist by heart. I get up each morning thinking what we all can do to restore the nation to the vision of our Founding Father and second American president, John Adams, who pledged when signing the Declaration of Independence that the new republic was to be a nation of laws and not men. But after 242 short years of our existence, we are no longer even a nation of men, or for that matter women. What we have become is a complete fraud, pretending that our system of justice is holier than thou, when in reality if one looks closely we are more akin to a third world banana republic.
Notwithstanding the corrupt stench that is now apparent at the DOJ, FBI and the intelligence agencies, all of whom represent the establishment elite now known as the Deep State, and our joke of a Congress, there is the federal judiciary.
Largely comprised of partisan hacks nominated by presidents at the whim of U.S. senators, they are the worst example of intellectual and actual corruption in our legal system.
Having gotten their seats on the bench as a result of political patronage — large contributions from special interests such as mega law firms, corporations, and labor unions have greased the skids for their nomination and confirmation — they are "rubber stamps" for those who got them their jobs.
The state of the federal judiciary today is reminiscent of the Court of King James during pre-revolutionary times under the rule of King George III. Indeed, the "yes men" on the King’s court — serving as the tools by which he wreaked tyranny on the colonies — was a main reason for our Declaration of Independence of July 4, 1776.
Since about 90 percent of currently serving federal judges are appointees of Presidents Bill Clinton and Obama, it is no wonder that they, with very few exceptions, have illegally blocked nearly every one of President Donald Trump’s initiatives — ranging from immigration orders, to sanctuary cities, to other a host of other matters.
But to be completely honest, it’s not much better when it comes to the so called conservatives, appointed by Republican presidents, now serving on the federal bench.
These jurists, also having been chosen via politics and large donations into the coffers of senators and the president himself, are the product of the elite establishment. They are not risk takers, but rather came up the line by kissing the derrieres of their benefactors.
This explains why they seldom take the strong actions necessary to restore the rule of law to the nation. Why make waves? Federal judges, of all political persuasions — and that is why they are simply "politicians in robes" — are quite comfortable with their lifetime tenure, generous pensions upon retirement, and other perks.
This in large part helps explain the recent decisions by a Bush era appointed judge, the Hon. Richard J. Leon, to dump cases which I filed against the Deep State intelligence agencies and the FBI over illegal mass surveillance of not just President Trump, his family and associates, but hundreds of millions of Americans.
Having initially ruled in my favor years ago, calling this outrageous government tyranny "almost Orwellian," and issuing two preliminary injunctions against the Obama run National Security Agency (NSA), Leon recently bailed out, dismissing cases which were headed for trial — without any legal basis to do so.
Notwithstanding that Judge Leon is now on senior status and near retirement, and apparently no longer wants to stick his neck out when he can live a comfortable life, the likelihood is that he was also threatened by this Deep State. In this regard, a whistleblower who I represent, Dennis Montgomery, testified under oath years ago that Leon was also illegally surveilled by the NSA, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Mueller’s FBI.
Should this federal judge have allowed our cases to go to discovery and trial, he undoubtedly would have been viciously smeared with the information about his private or professional lives obtained illegally through warrantless wiretaps and the like.
This is the way of the country today. The evil Deep State rules the school, as it is a force more powerful than even the president himself. We can see what the intelligence agencies and FBI have done to Donald Trump and those around him with unconstitutional surveillance of persons like Gen. Mike Flynn. Former FBI Directors James Comey, Robert Mueller, former Obama CIA Director John Brennan (who has recently viciously publicly attacked President Trump), and former Obama Director of National Intelligence James Clapper took this government tyranny to new heights.
But to hold them accountable under the rule of law, the nation needs a federal judiciary that will take bold action. Judge Leon is just one example of the cowardice now rampant on the courts, even from a so called conservative appointee.
And, our current Attorney General Jeff Sessions is, thanks to his own vulnerability, unwilling to appoint a special counsel to clean up the vile swamp now infesting Washington, D.C. He is under investigation himself by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for alleged Russian collusion and his role in the firing of Comey and does not want to stir political waters which could result in his own indictment.
All of this is why the republic is on a collision course to a second American revolution!
