Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
Allow me to disabuse you of your naïve delusion that we still live in a country with a justice system and break it to you that no one is going to jail for what was done to Flynn, or for the unmasking business, or for the Russia hoax or, for that matter, for any of the corrupt Dem/foreigner collaborations exemplified by the payoffs received by stripperphile and Bolivian folk medicine enthusiast Hoover Biden.
No one.
Well, maybe Mike Flynn himself will. Since his judge is now making up the law as he goes along – in law school they taught us that the judicial branch didn’t prosecute, but that was before the Trump Exception™ to existing principles – I actually expect that the next time the General shows up in court the judge will sentence him on his coerced plea to a “crime” that never happened and order the marshals to immediately take him into custody. And, as we have seen far too often since the advent of the bat biter blues, too many LEOs simply obey, apparently never having got the 411 on how the Nuremburg defense of “just following orders” is unsat. Flynn will get pardoned instead of exonerated, so he’ll get sprung from stir, but he will have no civil recourse for resurrecting his reputation or savings, which is the plan.
We have two justice systems, one for them and one for us, meaning we have no justice system at all.
Sorry to have to break this to you. I know it makes you sad, but how do you think I feel? I spent 27 years helping defend this country and voilà – here we are, a flippin’ banana republic. Turns out our elite is perfectly cool with treating our Constitution like Charmin.
You do understand that to the establishment, this dual track system where they ignore the law and we get the law dropped on us – including through active framing, as with LTG Flynn, to keep us in line – is how they want it, right? This is not an unintended consequence. They are for this.
They are actively for the abuse of the legal system to persecute their political enemies. You adorable naïfs come to me thinking that I, as a lawyer, will assuage your gnawing fear that something is rotten in the state of America. “Kurt, but this…this isn’t right? How can some people be prosecuted but other people with connections get away with crimes?” Well, the answer is simple: that is how many of the people with their grubby paws on the levers of power want it.
They want to use the government to stifle dissent, as the IRS did to Tea Party groups.
They want to make people afraid to oppose them by threatening them with crushing legal fees and maybe jail if they dare join the opposition – look at the trail of bankrupt Trumpworld folks after Obamagate.
They want to frame people working for their enemies and ruin them and put them in prison, a la LTG Flynn.
This permeates liberal culture. Did you know that the ACLU – the Alleged Civil Liberties Union – just sued Betsy De Vos because she ordered reforms to campus man-witch trials that gave men such radical due process rights as the right to know the charges, to have time to respond to them, to not be judged by the same person who is prosecuting them, and to confront their accuser? The ACLU came out against these things – at least in cases where ole Grandpa Badfinger’s not the accused. And speaking of that handsy old weirdo, how about all those lib luminaries leveling with us that even if he did what Tara Reade said he did, eh, no biggie. They’ll vote for him anyway, and that whiny broad should stop crying all over their beautiful progressive narrative.
“Where’s the media?” Silly rabbit! The media is with the establishment 100%. It’s not that the media is failing to do its job and negligently not digging into what is the biggest scandal in American history, a scandal that makes Watergate seem, in comparison, as small and insignificant as the manhood of a Bulwark staffer. Not digging into liberal malfeasance is the media’s job. Eventually, those of you who are constantly surprised that the mainstream media is not the collection of dogged, objective truthtellers it pretends to be are going to get tired of being shocked – shocked, I say! – every single day as the media reaffirms its fealty to the liberal elite narrative every single day.
“Where are the prosecutors?” Oh, now you really are amusing me. The DoJ has a few solid folks at the top apparently trying to salvage some credibility out of this debacle, but it takes time to tame a bureaucracy and thanks to that befuddled dork Jeff Sessions that process got delayed for over two years while he tried to play it straight and got taken to the cleaners by the cheats all around him.
You need to prepare yourself. No one of any significance is going to jail for any of this. Ever.
What Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit did with classified info would have put you and me in striped PJs for a decade. She walked. So did her whole clique.
Andrew McCabe lied again and again and … nope, they won’t charge him.
Looming Doofus Comey will walk. Every Democrat donor in the Mueller gang will walk. Samantha Power will walk. And Obama? Sheesh, chatty perpetual Hannity guest and occasional senator Lindsey Graham may get around to holding his long-promised Obamagate hearings on about the 5th of Never. Big Talkin’ LG won’t even dare to call BHO to testify and you think the Grand Marshal of the Supreme Court is gonna be frog-marching The One out of his new beach mansion to prison? Come on.
I’d love to be wrong. Maybe I am. Maybe the unbroken track record of injustice we’ve seen over the last decade will suddenly break. And maybe my pet unicorn Chet will be the foreman of the jury when one of these slugs somehow gets called to account.
“Then I guess we should just give up and resign ourselves to tyranny?” Oh no. Oh, not at all. My short-term assessment is grave, but my long-term assessment is bright. Tyranny tends to fail over time. Remember, the establishment’s embrace of tactical tyranny is an admission of weakness. When they weren’t threatened they could afford to hide their true nature. All this is their last-ditch effort to resist the popular uprising against their inept rule.
We need to stay on the offensive.
Keep your eye on the prize. The prize is not seeing these scumbags behind bars, though that would satisfy our righteous yearning for justice. The prize is the power to not merely defend our rights and prosperity but to enhance them.
So we keep pushing.
But how do we win?
The Constitution is defiled but it’s not dead, and it contains all the answers. We fight on, electing people who will carry the flag forward. We just got one in California – Los Angeles even! – when Navy vet and conservative Mike Garcia shot down the Democrats’ heir to the seat that the hotel room chair-defiling wierdoess Katie Hill lost. We are building up our team, going seat by seat, filling them with conservatives and purging the spineless likes of Jeff Flake.
It will take time. Everything hard takes time. But that’s how we win. Look at DC today. When Donald Trump took office, he had no insiders on his side. He was surrounded by Bushie traitors and Obama holdovers, all looking to take him down. But fast forward to today. The moles are gone, replaced by all-in conservatives with three years of experience inside the Beltway. Ric Grenell’s masterful bureaucratic battering of Adam Schiffforbrains was a perfect example of how we can play this game too. Think of what our side can do with seven years of experience.
Oh, and buy guns and ammunition. Liberty always needs that backstop of an armed citizenry in case the electoral and judicial systems completely collapse. And it totally gives the libs and the Fredocon sissies fits.
So, stop focusing on putting a few putzes in the pokey. That ain’t happening – by the time we have the power to actually do justice the statute of limitations will have long expired. Instead, focus on the real goal. We need to keep and grow our power by taking the House, keeping the Senate, re-electing the President and helping the Murder Turtle pack the courts with patriots.
Join me in a modified serenity prayer: “Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to own the libs, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

As I have said many times, a vigorous application of the second amendment will be necessary.
Yay! Kurt says we can vote our way out of this!
Who counts the votes ?
You beat me to it. There is not one honest person within 50 miles of DC.
96% Demshevik fuquefaces in DC. Possibly 1 in 25, unless you have RINOs, so 1 in 50, 1 in 100?
If DC were Sodom and Lot asked the Lord if he would spare it if he could find even one honest man, the Lord would say “My faithful servant, pack your shit cuz this dump is going up in fifteen minutes.”
Shyeah….what a joke, eh?
We’ll see.

A non-Q-ball ray of hope for the always Trump crowd.
My view is that the swamp can’t drain the swamp but merely replace Moccasins with Copperheads and Gators with Croc’s.
Thanks Kurt for stating the obvious . We ( the wide awake) knew there were two justice when the To Big To Fail groups on Wall Street weren’t prosecuted in 2009 . This continued when Eric Holder refused to put folks in jail at HSBC when he said that doing so we damage our economy .
Steal little go to prison…Steal Big …retire in luxury . Bernie was the exception because he stole from the very wealthy and yah’ can’t do that to them .
If your a crook, be a proud crook. The more the merrier.
We thought the mob was bad.
These guys broke the law like no big deal.
Smells like. . . defeatism.
This is why nobody should join the military.
Bingo
The problem with that, if it even matters is that as Rome hired Germanic mercenaries, our shitheads would do something similar. There would be a lot less reason to wonder if they would follow orders to shoot citizens for annoying our betters publicly.
Vote better people into office is the answer?
Wait a minute…We have no rule of law because we have an obvious 2 tiered justice system.
Which means, we no longer are a republic as you cannot have a republic without rule of law.
If there is no longer a republic then why bother to vote? It’s a complete exercise in futility.
Well, Kurt, here’s a thought: when you live in a clearly criminal system that has you and folks like you in its sights, then crime is winning. Care to guess how to fight that? If crime pays, try it, you’ll like it!
Kurt must have a full time staff cranking out the new memes. “Bolivian Folk Medicine Enthusist” is the best one yet. Took me a good 5 seconds before I suddenly realized what that means.
Question: Why is Trump hated so deeply by most of the members of the ruling class to whom we are exposed and their propaganda prostitutes? He does appears to be a nationalist and his ostensible opponents all seem to be internationalists, but that doesn’t explain adequately the level of hate directed at The Don and his deplorable supporters.
Is it real hate, or is the national stage drama just Kabuki theater, with people on both side just playing a part? Was Steve Scalisi really shot full of holes, or was that fake too?
At my low level in society, I can not affect what happens up on the stage of the theater, but I am curious nevertheless.
Hey, that was a serious question. Can someone explain Trump Derangement Syndrome to me? I find most of the Demoncrap political operatives repulsive, but I don’t hate them. What is it about Trump and normal Americans that rouses the deep, visceral hatred in Democrats, socialists, Communists, et al.?
I. O.
Anger induced low dose adrenaline. Similar to and connected to the drug of self pity. Ask Annie how that one works.
I has to be refreshed frequently and that is done through MSM, social media, and campuses who constantly refresh required level of agitation or sense of urgency and the shared underdog comraderie. Victimhood is a favorite form of regeneration method. It did not start recently. It goes back to the G.I. Bill where many young Vets were inculcated with Liberalism Lite in the late 40’s and early 50’s. Many of these became the Lefty Loons who educated an even larger group of students in the 60’s and 70’s. This coincided with the dumbing down of K-thru-12 students.
I believe it was Stalin who said “let me educate the children and I’ll have them for life” loosely translated. Now they are angry zombies who harbor some degree of Loathing, anger, or hatred for whatever principle or person or institution they are told they should despise regardless of past positions as in Trump being a lifelong liberal democrat. Basically it’s a mental disorder only God can break through if they should ask but he won’t force them.
Why ask here? The people here don’t hate Trump. Try going to a Yahoo message board and ask there. Let us know what you find.
If I asked the leftists, they would just start screaming at me. Here, I expect to get an intelligent answer.
I know it is trite but Liberalism is a mental disorder. These people are nuts. They are unwilling to have any conversation. They are unwilling to hear any other point of view. They are intellectual cowards. They cling to their beliefs in spite of never being able to win a debate on facts. 2+2=5 and if you disagree you are “worse than Hitler” as well as a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, Islamaphobe, climate denier and planter of genetically modified seeds. A Deplorable. They are nothings and nobody’s urged on by a cadre of evil filth who tell them they are the vanguard. They are to be pitied, and at the same time, like the Marines say, have a plan to kill every one of them you meet just in case it’s the day they decide you and yours require “the concretization of non-existence” if you have refused the offer and exhortation to become the New Socialist Man.
I O
So I assume my answer wasn’t intelligent?
Your answer was very intelligent, and close to what I had already surmised, but I was curious as to what others thought. I am often surprised by the insights others have that would never have occured to me. As soon as I read or hear the insight, I see the truth of it.
Agree with your analysis except for YOUR naive assertion that electoral politics will produce positive change .
“We have two justice systems, one for them and one for us, meaning we have no justice system at all.”
No shit Kuckie..
Its such a predictable outcome, it is difficult not to be numb about it. It is a fucking outrage. Still.
