There are a few reasons that the “Mike Flynn gave speeches
to Russian interests” story, in violation of federal law, doesn’t really bother
me much. At least not as much as the
left want it to mean.
If you remember when Bill Clinton was President, the left
staked out its’ ground on right and wrong and you can look at it in various
ways. The leftist majority senate sent a
message loud and clear in the impeachment of Bill Clinton that a. The law didn’t matter, or b. the law was only
relevant in the case the violation of which was considered significant or c. the
law was not applicable to the left unless they SAID the law was applicable to
them.
In a nutshell, in an investigation into an entirely
different matter, Bill Clinton was caught lying to the government, and the US
people (lest we should be like our government and forget THOSE guys). He lied, under oath, to the grand jury in
saying that he did not have extra-marital sex with Monica Lewinsky, and that is
against the law (lying to the grand jury).
And though the left ACKNOWLEDGED that Clinton lied to the grand jury,
they adopted the public position that because he lied about sex, the violation
of the law did not rise to the ACTUAL standard of breaking the law that he
admitted breaking. Instead, in normal,
leftist style, Bill Clinton was elevated to the position of elder statesman
among the left. And the senate declined
to convict Clinton.
The law was irrelevant, or it didn’t apply because it was
of no significance, or the law was not applicable to the left because the law
said it was not applicable. Take your
pick.
Or, take the other Clinton, Hillary. When tapped to be secretary of state she
signed paperwork that promised to keep her and the state department free of
entanglements with the Clinton Foundation (itself a corrupt organization) while
she was in office, and the records reflect that she violated that agreement
daily. In addition she lied to congress
about her involvement in Benghazi and aided in the lie that attempted to cover
up Benghazi by imprisoning an innocent film maker of a film that nobody had
seen.
Or take the President himself; “If you like your doctor you
can keep your doctor, if you like your health care plan, you can keep your
healthcare”.
And I understand, when President Obama made that promise,
repeatedly, the evidence is overwhelming that he knew he was lying, and some
would say he was not under oath. But, it
won’t surprise you to discover that I believe that when the President took the
oath of office, from that point forward EVERYTHING he said to the American
people, or congress was said “under oath”.
Hillary is, of course, the leftist template for criminality
today. In US deals with Haiti, Russia, the
African Aids Indian businessmen, Hillary signed a document saying that she
would not use her office as secretary of state to influence deals from which
the Clinton Foundation and its’ various offshoots. And she then took office and never even paid
lip service to her oath (what do you think the entire separate server was
about?).
And the fact that Elijah Cummings is the water carrier for
this lynch mob is comical, proving that the left has no moral compass, or if it
does, then the needle is stuck in the southern pointing direction. He was COMPLICIT in stonewalling the
investigation into Hillary’s server and her lies and IMPLICIT in the IRS
targeting of conservative groups…and this is on top of him being one of THE
least productive members of congress (irrelevant in this discussion…..as
Cummings is in most conversations on issues).
I mean…….does the left have ANY sense of their own hypocrisy?
Even if I grant you that Flynn benefitted from speeches to
the Russians, which he would have most certainly had Sate or Defense department
permission, if not both, is the left so corrupt and do they lack sufficient
humility to think that they should get their own house in order, JUST A LITTLE
BIT before going on patrol for boogeymen?
There is an oft quoted saying that the left is always sure that the rest
of the body politic is doing wrong because THEY are doing wrong and they assume
that others are also. But I think that
the left just assumes we are all idiots.
So I don’t care about the lefts’ condemnation of
Flynn. If he lied to congress, to the
VP, or even broke the law, then he did what he did…..what the left does daily.
And I don’t care.
