A former CIA officer serving jail time for leaking documents to the New York Times accused federal officials of setting a double standard by apparently refusing to aggressively prosecute Hillary Clinton.
Clinton was “a high ranking official who should know better, but completely given a pass, and almost an apologetic pass,” Jeffrey Sterling, who was found guilty of leaking classified information to Times reporter James Risen last year, said in an interview with the Washington Post published on Monday.
“So how should us regular citizens feel, especially with heightened concerns about national security?”
The operative questions is if we have moved from equal under the law, to what have we moved to? Are we now well within the “Animal Farm” age, where some are more equal than others, and that “additional equality” has everything to do with to whom you are connected than a connectedness to a statute?
Is this the fundamental transformation of America – the loss of our allegiance to The Rule of Law? And what should our response be to it? For how long have we been seeing this decay? Is it just on the Democrat / Progressive side of the aisle or is it wide spread across the Political Class?
Is this something that we should just put up with, as they do in all other Banana Republics, as no one but we news and political junkies care? Or is the rise of the Outsiders a reaction to this? But which reaction – one that says “pile it on higher and deeper” (as for nothing but nothing, Bernie says “Gimme MORE government!”) or the one that says “blow it up!” (yeah, you know who)?
Or is this going to spill out past the political realm into something MUCH more serious and much more personal?
