Lady justice, please take off that blindfold
When I studied law (Certified Paralegal), I remember the night in class when the attorney prof was making a verbal legal point of law illustration that prompted my automatic-reflex-reaction, vocal blurt out, “So that’s why Justice is blindfolded!”
The entire class was stunned, as was the prof, but after a minute or so, he looked directly at me and said, “Yes, Catherine, that’s why.” I was dumbfounded that he would agree with me, but his candor made up my mind I would not go on to law school, as I had planned, even though I earned the course Scholarly Award.
I could not look the other way regarding what’s supposed to be “justice,” as often is the case in U.S. law, in particular when prominent politicians either can “buy their way” or are “too prominent in their fields, so that the ‘splash back’ on to their associates would implicate higher-ups.”
That seems to be the “currency of politics” not only in the United States, but globally. Some refer to it as the “old boys’ network.” Well, it’s not legally correct and, more than often, the little folk of the world are the ones who pay the “legal price” for far lesser crimes than what ‘top dog’ politicians have been able to get away with for decades. One prime example is the legal shenanigans of Bill and Hillary Clinton.
In December 2018, there was a House of Representatives Subcommittee hearing regarding the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation, which I reported about here.
If anything, Congress and any Attorney General of the U.S. should be more than curious as to whether there was a “quid pro quo” or “pay to play” ‘agreement’ with foreign countries during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as U.S. Secretary of State. Why the foot-dragging?
However, a rather interesting recent report indicates the Clinton Foundation has lost a tremendous sum of monetary donations during 2017, since Hillary lost the 2016 presidential election. I wonder why? Was Hillary working two jobs as Secretary of State, i.e., ‘pimping’ for the Clinton Foundation and also working as Secretary of State, who just happened to sell between 10 to 20% of U.S. uranium to Russia [2] with current Special-Counsel-President-Trump-“Russiagate” investigator, then FBI Director Robert Mueller as Hillary’s personal ‘envoy’ in delivering a sample of highly-enriched uranium on April 27, 2009, per WikiLeaks documentation.
[Can we trust The Washington Post is reporting factual information?]
Furthermore, why must “The FBI claims it must keep the memos secret from the public.” [1] Are we, the “useless eaters,” too damn dumb to understand what’s going on? It’s quite apparent from Hillary’s personal email server(s) and her destroying thousands upon thousands of emails, someone doesn’t want us to know, or Justice to see, what’s going on with high-profile politicians unless, of course, it’s Donald J. Trump! That’s something I can’t seem to fathom: Take off the blindfold and put on the ‘gloves’ to get Trump but, by all means, leave the Clintons and their Foundation ALONE! Where’s transparency and fairness. What cracks in U.S. laws are being overworked? But most of all, Where’s Justice?
By the way, if President Trump is guilty of crimes, then the Clintons really should be, especially Hillary who sold U.S. uranium to Russia, whereas Trump apparently was discussing building a Trump Tower there.
The likely legal difference: Wasn’t Trump a businessman then, not a member of the U.S. government sworn to maintain specific principles! That’s the difference, but not for poor losers, i.e., the Democrats and Leftists, or so it seems.
According to this report, the Clinton Foundation took in $240 MILLION in 2009, but only $38+ Million in 2017, 6.3+ times Less the revenue than when Hillary was Secretary of State [2009 to 2013].
Lady Justice, I have questions for you.
“Why won’t the Democrats go after the Clintons as they are doggedly pursuing President Trump?”
“If Justice represents the personification of the differences between the USA and some other countries, i.e., a supposed Constitutional Republic grounded in LAW, then what’s wrong with the legal system?”
Who will force Lady Justice to no longer play the “old boys’ networks” games and remove the blindfold?
