The Culture Of Corruption In The DC Establishment

This is why everyone opposes The Donald:

Justice Department officials decided against an investigation into the Clinton Foundation after the FBI requested the agency open a case into allegations of corruption stemming from Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

But the Justice Department’s public integrity unit declined to pursue the probe given what it characterized as insufficient evidence, according to a CNN report Wednesday.

The State Department’s seemingly preferrential treatment of foundation donors under Clinton’s leadership has raised questions about whether she and her aides ignored conflicts of interest in order to help the charity’s most generous donors. Emails made public this week have deepened suspicions that donors were afforded access and favors that other outsiders could not get from the agency.

For all of the Bush family claims of morality and statesmanship, if Jeb Bush were sworn in tomorrow, he would decline to allow an investigation, for “comity.” For better or worse free resources have made them into totally conflict-averse rabbits, with little sense of outrage at government criminality. The Establishment, left and right, protects itself, and I would assume that sense of security has encouraged ever greater transgressions. With a budget deficit of almost $20 trillion, you know the financial fraud must be astounding.

Donald is an unknown. Maybe he would let it go to smooth over a deal somewhere, but maybe he wouldn’t. When the penalty could be decades of your life in prison and much of your amassed wealth taken, that “maybe” will not make the criminal feel warm and fuzzy. Anything is possible.

God bless his Secret Service. They will not have it easy.
