The Democrats dual 'justice' system
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.
Isaiah Jason Maza, Jr., 18, was charged by federal authorities for allegedly throwing an explosive inside the Portland federal courthouse. An officer was injured on both legs in the explosion. Maza is close with bombing suspect, Gabriel Agard-Berryhill. https://t.co/PHyDtO50qu pic.twitter.com/1ZeeOGGt4j

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.
