Impeachments, Indictments and the Rule of Law

Date: September 1, 2023
MOVCAC Contributor:  Sean P. Keefe


Do you ever wonder why those selected to be leaders in our society never speak about justice?  Instead, they use either “Law and Order” or “The Rule of Law” to describe how our legal system works.  If we have learned anything in the last few years, it is to be aware of and pay attention to the words these tyrants use.  “Law” may not have the meaning you think it does.  So, let’s begin with a definition:

Law as defined by Dictionary.com:

  • The principles and regulations established in a community by some authority and applicable to its people, whether in the form of legislation or of custom and policies recognized and enforced by judicial decision.
  • Any written or positive rule or collection of rules prescribed under the authority of the state or nation, as by the people in its constitution.: Compare bylaw, statutory law.

The first thing one may note from reading the above definitions is that law has no connection whatsoever to justice.  As defined, law does not look for right and wrong, nor does it seek to find any just outcome.

Justice, on the other hand, has a completely different meaning:

Justice as defined by Dictionary.com:

  • the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness: to uphold the justice of a cause.
  • Rightfulness or lawfulness, as of a claim or title; justness of ground or reason: to complain with justice.

The first thing you notice from this definition is that righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness are in the very first entry.

You see, although our Department of Justice (DOJ) has the word in its title, you will hear very little about moral rightness, righteousness, or just outcomes emanating from our legal system.  We find ourselves in a system of laws made by man, interpreted by man, and adjudicated by man.  As stated in the definition, the law is merely a set of principles and regulations

established in a community by some authority and applicable to its people.  Those selected to be the “authority” in our communities writing, interpreting, and adjudicating those laws have no interest in justice.  And as long as justice is off the menu, they can make the law out to be whatever they wish.

You may notice the use of the word “selected” to describe our leaders. If you still think that Mitch McConnell, Shelly Moore Capito, Mike DeWine, Joe Manchin, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, John Fetterman, Diane Feinstein or any of the other demented traitors we currently have creating and enforcing our laws were elected by The People, I have some fresh farmland to sell you from East Palestine, Ohio.

I would submit to you that laws should be created to seek justice.  Our laws should be used to right wrongs.  We find ourselves in a post-justice environment where our laws are used as weapons to seek power and control.  We could talk about the laws that are used to put contaminated water into injection wells in Southeastern Ohio.  We could talk about the laws that are used to enable groomers to provide pornographic material to children in government-run schools and libraries.  We could talk about laws that were used to force our children to wear masks.

The examples above show where the “law” has been used to force negative outcomes on our society rather than to find a just outcome for The People subjected to those laws.

If you are a conservative living in the dystopian nightmare of Joe Biden’s crumbling America and you still have some confidence in our electoral process (full disclosure: I do not), then you are probably somewhat disturbed at the legal events surrounding the frontrunner for the republican nomination for president.

I guess since the word Justice is in the title of the institution, we dumb peasants assumed that the goal of the department was moral rightness, righteousness, and just outcomes.  Unfortunately, we live in a world where assuming truly does make an ass out of you and me.

 

Impeachment #1

In July of 2019, President Donald J. Trump made a phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.  During that call, President Trump asked the president of Ukraine to investigate the activities of Joe Biden and his son in regard to their association with the energy company Burisma.  A whistleblower was reported to have said that as part of that conversation a quid pro quo (this for that) occurred.  President Trump was accused of holding back funding for Ukraine until an investigation occurred.

Notice that the whistleblower didn’t come forward and testify like those from the FBI and IRS who recently came forward, identified themselves, and testified to the DOJ’s interference in their investigations of Hunter Biden.  The impeachment whistleblower’s identity was protected by lawmakers and media.  I think it is human nature for the public to wonder about the

sincerity and truthfulness of someone’s testimony when that person provides their testimony in secret and hides themselves from the public.

If you have been following the news at all this summer you know that Hunter Biden’s laptop and the evidence of his corrupt activities in Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Kazakhstan, and China have been confirmed.

If you have been paying attention since 2019 you know that Joe Biden admitted in public to holding back funding from Ukraine in order to force that country to fire its top prosecutor.  The link that follows contains the entire one-hour appearance by Joe Biden at the Council on Foreign Relations in 2018.  At the 51:45-minute mark, Joe Biden admits to a quid pro quo – loan guarantees for the firing of the prosecutor.

Foreign Affairs Issue Launch with Former Vice President Joe Biden

We also now know that the FBI took possession of the Hunter Biden laptop where the evidence of corruption in Ukraine has now been confirmed as early as the fall of 2019.  Why didn’t the FBI disclose this prior to or during the impeachment of President Trump?

You can think what you wish about the motivations behind President Trump’s request for an investigation.  You can even question the methods used to coerce Ukraine into investigating.  What you cannot deny is that the evidence of the corruption alleged by President Trump during that infamous phone call was real and should have been investigated.  Had it been, the American People may have been able to avoid historic inflation, thirteen dead service members in Afghanistan, mask and vaccine mandates, and democidal climate crises like what we are currently witnessing on Maui.

If our national heart was bent on justice, this impeachment would have been laughed out of the halls of our Capital.

 

Impeachment # 2

After the election of 2020 was obviously stolen, those who recognized this theft met in Washington DC to petition our government for a redress of this grievance.  I and hundreds of thousands of others attended that peaceful event in an attempt to persuade our government to follow the Constitution and suspend the counting of electoral votes while an investigation of the evidence of voter fraud could be conducted.

The challenging of electors has occurred many times throughout our history.  In 2016, many democrats objected to Trumps electors:

Trump Election Is Made Official Over Scattered Objections – House Democrats object to Electoral College results, but senators remain mum

In fact, numerous celebrities joined in the attempt to overthrow a duly elected president by coercing electors to withhold their support for Trump.

These Celebrities Are Urging the Electoral College to Dump Donald Trump

Clearly asking for intervention at the electoral college level is not only legal but certainly socially acceptable.

During this event on January 6th, a riot was started when Ray Epps whispered into a guy’s ear and that guy went up to the barricades separating the crowd from the police and began engaging in physical disobedience.  The following video from the Washington Post clearly shows Mr. Epps instigating the initial breach.

Video shows Ray Epps at initial Capitol breach on Jan. 6

Yet somehow, Ray Epps was not a central figure in the January 6th committee investigations.  Somehow, Ray Epps is not in solitary confinement in a Washington DC hellhole like so many January 6 protesters.

The January Sixers Have Their Own Unit at the DC Jail. Here’s What Life Is Like Inside.

FBI Director Christopher Wray has been asked several times about the number of federal assets embedded with protesters.  Two and a half years later, he still refuses to answer that question.  The Washington Examiner gives a good summary of Mr. Wray’s July 2023 testimony in the following excerpt:

 

 JAN. 6 PLANTS?

Wray did not deny that the FBI may have had undercover agents or informants among the Jan. 6 rioters; he denied only that the violence at the Capitol occurred at the direction or incitement of the bureau.

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) questioned Wray on whether the FBI had informants or agents who entered the Capitol building during the Jan. 6 riots.

“I really need to be careful here talking about where we have and have not used confidential human sources,” Wray said.

Wray said a court filing in one Jan. 6 case could provide information about how many FBI sources were among the crowd during the riots, but he declined to provide specific information.

The FBI director also rebuffed questions about a specific Jan. 6 protester, Ray Epps, who has been the focus in conservative media of scrutiny due to footage that captured him encouraging people to march toward the Capitol. Although hundreds of people who participated in the Jan. 6 riots have been arrested, Epps was not, sparking theories on the right that Epps was an FBI asset.

 Epps has denied the accusation and this week sued Fox News for defamation for airing claims that he worked for the FBI.

Wray refused to answer questions about why, despite the footage of Epps encouraging the Jan. 6 protesters, he has not faced the same consequences as others.

I attended the President’s speech and then peacefully walked to the capital where my wife and I watched a multitude of peaceful, patriotic Americans mill around.  In fact, we had no idea that the capital had been breached until around 2:30 when we were already walking back to our hotel.

The curious thing is that Mr. Epps shenanigans began prior to President Trump even ending his speech.  The following are selected entries from Wikipedia’s timeline of events from that fateful day:

12:16 p.m. Trump tells the crowd: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” Finishing his speech with “We fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore. So let’s walk down Pennsylvania Avenue.”[158][159]

12:53 p.m.: Rioters overwhelm police along the outer perimeter west of the Capitol building, pushing aside temporary fencing. Some protesters immediately follow, while others, at least initially, remain behind and admonish the others: “Don’t do it. You’re breaking the law.”[168][169] By 1:03 p.m., a vanguard of rioters have overrun three layers of barricades and have forced police officers to the base of the west Capitol steps.[162]

1:10 p.m.: Trump ends his speech by urging his supporters to march upon the Capitol Building:[175][150][176][177]

“If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore….We’re going to try and give them [Republicans] the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country…The Democrats are hopeless—they never vote for anything. Not even one vote. But we’re going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones because the strong ones don’t need any of our help. We’re going

to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country.”

How could President Trump have instigated an insurrection with a speech that hadn’t even ended when Ray Epps and his team physically confronted the Capital Police?  The most hilarious aspect of this impeachment is that the criminal mastermind, Donald J. Trump, planned, coordinated and executed an insurrection with the intent of overthrowing the United States government and not one of those he sent to perform this violent coup brought a weapon.  He is so dastardly that he sent his own supporters to overthrow a government with only flags and winter coats.

There was no search for justice in this impeachment.  The purpose was to label President Trump and those supporting him that day as insurrectionists.  In their malevolent little minds, they think by doing this they can use the Fourteenth Amendment to bar him from standing for elective office in the future.

 

Indictment #1

Stormy Daniels.  Please, this one is too stupid to spend any time on.  If you think Donald Trump should be prosecuted for anything Stormy Daniels related, you probably think the fires in Maui happened as a result of climate change.

 

Indictment #2

This indictment was filed in Florida and covers President Trump’s retention of certain government documents.  I am not a lawyer and cannot wax eloquently about the Presidential Records Act or the Clinton Socks case.  What I can do is examine how others who have been found to have classified documents have been treated.  There are many examples:

Hillary Clinton – All one needs to do is examine FBI Director James Comey’s press conference announcing that the justice department would not be bringing charges.

Statement by FBI Director James B. Comey on the Investigation of Secretary Hillary Clinton’s Use of a Personal E-Mail System

Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information.

For example, seven e-mail chains concern matters that were classified at the Top Secret/Special Access Program level when they were sent and received. These chains involved Secretary Clinton both sending e-mails about those matters and receiving e-mails from others about the same matters. There is evidence to

support a conclusion that any reasonable person in Secretary Clinton’s position, or in the position of those government employees with whom she was corresponding about these matters, should have known that an unclassified system was no place for that conversation. In addition to this highly sensitive information, we also found information that was properly classified as Secret by the U.S. Intelligence Community at the time it was discussed on e-mail (that is, excluding the later “up-classified” e-mails).

None of these e-mails should have been on any kind of unclassified system, but their presence is especially concerning because all of these e-mails were housed on unclassified personal servers not even supported by full-time security staff, like those found at Departments and Agencies of the U.S. Government—or even with a commercial service like Gmail.

As you can plainly see from the excerpt above, Mrs. Clinton knowingly mishandled classified material and faced no criminal charges.

Joe Biden – The number of documents with classified markings found in the possession of Joe Biden is hard to pin down.  Documents were found at his Penn Biden Center in November 2022, and several tranches found in his Delaware home (including his garage) were discovered between December and January 2023.

The full extent of Mr. Biden’s classified document cache and timeline of discovery can be found at Axios.com.

A special prosecutor has been assigned but to date there have been no criminal charges.

Finally, even Mike Pence was found to be in possession of classified documents but as NBCNews.com reported in June, that investigation has been closed with no charges filed.

It should be noted that only President Trump had the ability to declassify at the time he possessed his documents.

A search for justice would have all of these events treated equally.

 

Indictment #3

This federal indictment is basically a redo of the second impeachment.

From CNN Politics – Former President Donald Trump’s third indictment, annotated

It is notable that the indictment refers to him spreading lies: “These claims were false, and the Defendant knew that they were false.”

Trump had a right to contest the election. This is an important point the special counsel gets out of the way right off the bat. Trump did have a right to contest the election, in courts and with recounts at the state level. But those efforts were “uniformly unsuccessful,” which is true.

Three conspiracies. The victims, as it were, are:

The country, the electoral process of which Trump is alleged to conspire to overturn.

Congress, which had its electoral vote counting ceremony interfered with.

American voters, who were in danger of having their votes overruled.

As noted in the section on impeachment #2, Trump urged his supporters to march “peacefully and patriotically” to the capital to have their voices heard and before his speech concluded, Ray Epps and his accomplices had already torn through the barricades and attacked law enforcement.

Before you pass judgment on the activities of Donald Trump and his supporters, I would suggest you watch Tucker Carlson’s interview with the man who was the Chief of Capital Police on that fateful day.  After watching, ask yourself why this man never testified publicly in front of the January 6th committee.  Maybe it’s because the committee was made up of nothing but democrats and two republicans who were promptly ushered out of congress in the 2022 midterms – Liz Cheney (WY) and Adam Kizinger (IL).

Tucker Carlson on X (Twitter) – Ep. 15  Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund reveals what really happened on January 6th. Our Fox News interview with him never aired, so we invited him back.

This indictment, like impeachment #2 is not seeking justice, it is seeking to criminalize political activities.

 

Indictment # 4

Basically, this indictment accuses the former president with using words to try to overturn the presidential election results in Georgia where a leaky toilet was described as a watermain break in order to send election observers home for the night.  After those workers were sent home, video footage shows Ruby Freeman and her accomplices pull boxes of ballots out and continue counting.  Some ballots multiple times.

Some ballots will not be counted until Wednesday in Georgia following water main break

CAUGHT: Surveillance footage shows GA poll worker scanning the same batch of ballots MULTIPLE times!

Let’s assume for a moment that there were no election shenanigans in Georgia.  The First Amendment of our Constitution allows for free speech even if that speech is wrong, demonstrably wrong, and even adjudicated as wrong.  In fact, we went through years of Hillary Clinton and many never-Trumpers openly saying that President Trump was illegitimate.

This is critical to understand – The Hillary Clinton campaign concocted a hoax tying Donald Trump to Russia.  Her campaign pushed this hoax throughout media.  This sensational lie ended with Robert Mueller’s team investigating the president throughout the beginning of his term.  As the Clinton lie was hampering the president while he attempted to implement the agenda he was elected to implement, the Russia hoax also interfered with our national relations with Russia – with whom we now find ourselves at the brink of war.  She and her surrogates then went all over America calling President Trump a traitor, a Russian asset, and an illegitimate president.  The work of John Durham clearly shows that the Russia collusion hoax was planned, funded, and executed by the Clinton campaign.  Where are the indictments of Hillary Clinton and her co-conspirators?  The full Durham report is linked below if you wish to understand the outright lies created to perpetrate the Russia Hoax.

Stacey Abrams’s rhetorical twist on being an election denier – Washington Post September 2022

Why is it that everyone but Donald Trump can deny the results of a “Free and Fair” election?

This indictment does not seek to find justice; it is using the law in order to weaponize political speech – but only for one set of speakers.

 

Conclusion

There are many things about Donald Trump that one could complain about and oversight and transparency should be the cornerstone of any public figures professional career.  The executive branch of our government is responsible for many out-of-control agencies – IRS, FBI, NSA, DOE, DOJ, to name a few.  These agencies and the executives who run them should be held accountable and investigations are an important part of that process.  And the first investigation that should occur is of Operation Warp Speed and the bioweapon it produced.

If you are paying attention, you know that Christopher Wray cannot tell you how many FBI assets were on the ground embedded with the January 6th protesters.  Secretary Mayorkas continues to testify that our southern border is under control when anyone with eyes can see that to be a lie.  Where are the special prosecutors for these current administration officials obfuscating or outright lying to Congress?  Where is the investigation and prosecution of Anthony Fauci and his blatant involvement in gain-of-function research –  or his lies to Congress about that research?

Where is law enforcement when children are being entertained by scantily dressed grown men wearing woman-face?  Where is law enforcement when our government-run schools and libraries are making obscene material available to children?  Where was law enforcement when our children were forced to wear filthy oxygen-depriving face coverings?  Where are the indictments of the criminals who left bombs at both the RNC and DNC on January 6th?  Where is the arrest of the officials in Maui who didn’t release water to be used to fight the fire?  Where is the prosecution of those responsible for the disaster in East Palestine?

Where is the prosecution of those who lied about the death rate of Covid?  Where is the investigation into the massive surge in excess deaths?  Where is the prosecution of those who told you the Covid vaccine would protect you from getting covid or passing it on to others?  Where is the investigation into the decision-makers who destroyed our economy and society while implementing protocols that were never tested?  Where is the prosecution of those in government and corporate America who censored true scientific information about the pandemic we just experienced?

Justice is a foundational idea and a virtue.  Law is a tool not unlike a hammer – a hammer can be used to build a home to keep humans safe and also as a weapon used to bludgeon a human to death.

If we are no longer seeking justice in our society, we should remove the word from our lexicon and change the name of the Department of Justice to what it really is – The Department of Maintaining Power and Control.
