When John Edwards ran for President in 2004 he spoke about the Two Americas, by which he meant, there was one America for those who had enough and a second America for the have nots.  This was a good old fashioned appeal for the redistribution of wealth, coming, as such pleas always do, from a Democrat millionaire, who was proposing redistributing other people’s money.  In the aftermath of the 2016 election, it now is clear that there really are two Americas.  Not the ones described by Edwards, though. The two Americas that exist are insider America and outsider America.  Every day, we gain more and  more evidence that the real story of the two Americas is the shameful dual system of justice that coddles the connected establishment insiders, and perverts justice to persecute outsiders, who represent a threat to the continued comfort of those on the inside.  There’s no other way to explain what’s gone one the past two years.  More than that, really.  Since Donald Trump came down the escalator in 2015, he became public enemy number one for the insiders.  Democrats certainly have every reason to oppose Trump, but if it was only the Dems it wouldn’t be so bad.  The insiders dwell under the rocks of both parties.  That’s why it doesn’t matter to them which party is in the majority.  They still get to keep their phony baloney jobs, they decide who runs for office, who gets elected, who gets appointed, who get the seemingly endless torrent of government money, and when they leave office, they cash in as lobbyists.  It’s not Democrat/Republican, it’s inside/outside.  Was it a surprise that Hillary and her henchpersons bought a scurrilous crock of bull crap from a Brit, that he got from Russian intelligence, and used it to try to smear Trump?  Of course not.  That’s par for the crooked politician course.  But that wasn’t enough.  The woman (Nellie Ohr), who worked for the company that sold the bull crap to Hillary, gave it to her husband, high-ranking FBI lawyer Bruce Ohr.  In recent testimony, Bruce Ohr claimed he knew the bull crap came from the Hillary campaign, and knew the Brit (Steele) who compiled it was biased against Trump.  Ohr claims he warned the FBI about this.  Steele swore under oath in England that he couldn’t verify anything in his bull crap story.  Nonetheless, the FBI told the FISA court that Steele was “reliable.”  And after the FBI fired Steele for breaking the rules, they continued to vouch for Steele’s reliability.  And everybody above Ohr knew this as well.  Ohr told them.  No matter, the Obama Administration had to stop Trump, the outsider, who talked about preventing former politicians from acting as high paid lobbyists, and about cutting the federal workforce by 20%, and getting illegal immigration under control, which might reduce the stock of people who will work cheap and keep their mouths shut, which is the Establishment Insider American Dream.  Of course, the only person who could beat Trump was sick, tired, venal, crooked Hillary Clinton, who staggered from one underwhelming campaign event to another, like Marley’s Ghost, dragging behind her the ponderous chain of dirty baggage that she had forged, link by link, over the decades.  If that wasn’t enough, there was the little problem of Hillary’s violations of numerous statutes relating to her handling of classified documents, violations that would surely land any unconnected outsider behind bars.  She needn’t have worried, she was inside, America #1, so no problem.  They let her get away with deleting 30,000 subpoenaed  emails, then let her destroy the devices and wipe the server, and then wrote the letter absolving her before they interviewed her, and at the interview, they allowed her would-be accomplices to appear as her counsel and gave them immunity.  That’s the inside.  On the outside with Trump, we have America #2.  In that America, the law is applied to the letter, and when they’ve done nothing illegal, they add new letters to the law.  If you’re not Hillary, but instead are Paul Manafort, they can dredge up decades old crap that prosecutors already passed on, throw you in jail, and ruin your life.  If you’re George Papadopolous or Michael Flynn, they can set you up in a phony perjury trap.  If you’re Donald Trump, you represent America #2, so have no rights under the laws.  And the constitution, what’s that?   Recently released emails between FBI lawyer Lisa Page and her paramour, Peter Strozk, prove that they knew there was no evidence of Russian collusion when they ginned up the Mueller investigation to look for the non-existent evidence of collusion.  They knew the investigation would come to nothing, but they needed to tie up this President, ruin his Administration, drive him from office, and continue to cover up their own crimes.  There is no doubt in my mind that the FBI did what it did at the orders of Barack Obama, John Brennan and Loretta Lynch.  But that won’t help the FBI people whose necks are now sticking out.  As this is written, the President has declassified the FISA warrant application, the investigation reports that led to the surveillances on the Trump campaign, and emails from Comey, McCabe and and others.  Attorney Joe DiGenova believes that this will end with a number of convictions for criminal offenses.  There had to be something really bad for the Justice Department and FBI to refuse to turn over requested documents for so long.  The soon to be defendants cannot rely on the Nuremberg defense (I was just following orders), nor will the fact that Obama ordered the actions absolve them of culpability, unless the courts suddenly decide to accept the claim that, “When the President does it, it’s not criminal.”   That didn’t work when it was tried by Richard Nixon.  Of course, the Dems are criticizing the release of documents as an abuse of power, that is meant to interfere with the phony baloney Mueller investigation.  It’s hard to envision how one can obstruct justice by releasing the truth, but that’s what passes for justice in Insider America number 1.
