Although Trump said he preferred no further investigation, concerns linger
“A contempt of the laws is the high road to anarchy.”
— Alexander Hamilton
Hillary Clinton’s email scandal and the Clinton Foundation scandal are back in the news, as they are likely to be for years to come. At his confirmation hearing, Attorney General-designate Jeff Sessions said he would recuse himself from all investigations involving the Clintons.
Last November, President Donald Trump said that his preference was for no further investigation of Hillary Clintonor the Clinton Foundation. A decision (which does not seem to have been made yet) not to continue any investigation raises at least three concerns:
1). Deciding whether to prosecute someone isn’t normally the president’s decision to make. It’s the job of “the system.”
“The system” may sound amorphous, but in fact “the system” is what we call “the rule of law.” That rule is not just an arcane concept that interests lawyers and public policy mavens. The rule of law is probably the single most important governing concept we have — far more important than democracy. The rule of law elevates the weakest citizen to the level of the most powerful.

Ironic that the namesake of the play' who's main actor berated our Vice President in front of the audience, spoke those words. It's almost like he had a time machine.

ReplyDeleteI'm sure this will be dealt with shortly.
ReplyDeleteFirst things first.
Let's get the President's staff in place.
