To Stop the Coup and Restore the Rule of Law,
the DOJ Needs to Look at Hillary Clinton
©2019 CLIFFORD C. NICHOLS, ESQ.
In the aftermath of the filing of the Mueller report, Greta Van Susteren and Franklin Graham independently issued tweets that respectively urged the nation to now just “forgive” and “move on.”
With all due respect, however, their advice is, at best, premature.
While it is true that God is forgiving, He is also a God who — according to the 37th Psalm — loves justice and will not forsake His godly ones.
America should expect nothing less from its government — that justice be done — to assure us all that we have a government that is still committed to the Rule of Law.
And that is something our Government must do today before we can afford to forgive and move on.
And for that to happen today, we don’t need any further “investigations,” “Special Counsels” or “Congressional hearings.”
What America needs to demand right now are the indictments of those among our elite who have committed crimes that have not only been revealed to the nation, but that just continue to stare at us all in the face.
For that to happen, there is no better place to start than with the of the Department of Justice’s prosecution of the one person whose behavior has become symbolic of the elite’s mockery of this nation’s adherence to the Rule of Law:
Hillary Rodham Clinton
For over thirty years, she has been our country’s poster-girl for government corruption by virtue of the fact that wherever she is and wherever she goes, corruption always seems to metastasize around her like a cancer.
For the moment, focus only on the most recent manifestation of that cancer — the delusion of collusion scandal by which she knowingly caused us to become divided as a people to the point that it brought our nation to the brink of a civil war.
Hillary is the one responsible for buying and paying for the creation of a fraudulent dossier that she then knowingly allowed to be used for over two years — by a corrupt posse of high-level government and media sycophants loyal to her — to attempt a coup d’ état.
Amazingly, she both initiated and facilitated a conspiracy to commit treason and, so far, without any consequence.
To date, only a number of her co-conspirators have lost their jobs, while she has remained entirely untouched. Whereas, all of them — including her — have remained absolutely free to move about the country writing books, giving speeches and tweeting to their heart's content about how our duly elected President and his government should be overthrown and replaced.
And why wouldn’t they?
They all now share motives in common that would only cause them to want to continue pursuing the coup they started, notwithstanding the collapse of the Mueller investigation.
For one thing, they all share an awareness of the fact that, until the current President is replaced, none of them will be entirely safe from prosecution.
Moreover, no doubt that they all — including Hillary — also harbor their hearts at least some flicker of hope that, were a Presidential swap to be made possible, a new President less committed to a cleaning of the swamp could possibly enable them all to be restored once again to their former positions of power?
Thus, to put a stop to their attacks on the President that are only likely to continue dividing this country, they all need to be put on notice immediately by the Department of Justice that America will never again allow corrupt elitists like Hillary to threaten the constitutional foundations of this great country with impunity.
And that is a message the DOJ can send to all of them today by simply prosecuting Hillary Clinton for her violations of the Espionage Act based upon her storage of top secret materials on her private server. For a roadmap on how this may be accomplished, I would refer the DOJ to my article of September 14, 2018, entitled Dear Democrats …
The message being that the DOJ needs to stop pretending that she did nothing wrong and that Mr. Comey had the legal authority to absolve her of these many felonies on July 5th, 2016.
In short, our government needs to stop asking America to accept the lies it has attempted to purvey to excuse the crimes of those that some in the Department of Justice/FBI want to protect from prosecution, while they are at the same time asking us to believe that we are a nation governed by the Rule of Law.
And for those who may still wish to extend some form of forgiveness, perhaps that would best be offered to people like Hillary by way of a plea bargain.
