The Democrats dual 'justice' system

 Streiff:

One of the founding ideals of the United States was that the same system of laws would apply to everyone equally. Two people convicted of the same or similar offense, all things being equal, should receive approximately the same punishment. It doesn’t always work that way; wealth and fame do have a way of making crimes, like murder, go away, but those instances are anomalies. Over the last four years, though, things have started to come unglued. The courts willingly cooperated with the obscene persecution of Michael Flynn. Department of Justice functionary Andrew Weissmann was able to weaponize the judicial apparatus to carry out his personal vendetta against Paul Manafort and President Trump.

Since the summer of 2020, though, it has become blatantly obvious that we have a two-tiered justice system in this country, and your personal politics determines how the courts treat you.

When Jake Angeli, the Buffalo Headdress guy, was convicted of little more than trespassing in the US Capitol on January 6, he received a sentence of 41 months in prison. Two other January 6 participants, Robert Palmer and Scott Fairlamb, were sentenced to 63 and 41 months respectively for assaulting police officers during the rioting outside the US Capitol. Finally, Ashli Babbitt was summarily executed for banging on a door while US Capitol Police riot control officers were just feet away.

Compare and contrast what happens on the left.

Antifa goonlet Dakotah Ray Norton gave a federal officer a beatdown with a baseball bat during the Portland Riots. He got 24 months.

...

According to reports, over 92% of the Portland rioters arrested and charged have been released without bail. The arrests are not for trivial offenses. These two were both released without bail.

Contrast that to people who have been held without bond for nearly a year because they accepted an invitation by Capitol Police to enter the building, and for whom neither bond nor a trial date is in the works because the federal government is deliberately dragging its feet on producing evidence that would permit trials to take place. Keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of the people held on January 6 charges are accused of nonviolent offenses.

...

It isn’t just the federal level where this crap takes place. Kyle Rittenhouse was tried for murder for defending himself. Fortunately, the prosecutors were mouthbreathing imbeciles who got their law degrees at a K-Mart Blue Light Special. Somehow a convicted felon carrying a concealed weapon without a permit was allowed to walk free. Also allowed to go free was a man who kicked Rittenhouse in the face.

When Steven Baca was assaulted and beaten by a violent leftwing mob in Albuquerque and lit one of the cretins up, he was charged with a crime (Howling Leftwing Mob Tries to Murder a Man in Albuquerque but They Don’t Count on Him Defending Himself). The people who beat Baca have never been charged.

...

In both those cases, the men beaten by a leftwing mob were charged with crimes even though there was a mountain of exculpatory evidence available to the police in real-time. In both cases, none of the assailants were charged with anything.

What do you think should happen to an FBI attorney who forged evidence so a federal judge would approve an intrusive surveillance warrant? Kevin Clinesmith did just that (BREAKING: FBI Lawyer Kevin Clinesmith Sentenced to Probation for Creating False Email Connected to Carter Page FISA Warrant). He lied in an attempt to ruin the life of a man who he knew was innocent but whose politics made him a target for Robert Mueller’s goons, particularly Andrew Weissmann. Clinesmith got 12-months probation. The DC bar did not take action to disbar him. They didn’t even start disciplinary procedures until five months after he was sentenced. Now he has been restored to “good standing,” which means he can again practice law. Imagine that happening to a conservative lawyer.

...

You will not find many crimes charged against the BLM rioters or Antifa who participated in them.  Certainly, they got away with much more than the Jan. 6 arrestees.  You get the impression that prosecutors think conservatives are much scarier than liberal thugs.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
