It's a great television commercial if you have never seen it.....Google 'Abraham Lincoln, CLEP'....and the commercial....probably from the 1980s.....should appear at the top. Lincoln.....stove pipe hat and all....is being interviewed by an employment agency. Anyway.....I don't have any formal legal training....."well I've done a lot of reading and studying....sort of on my on"....(that from the commercial)....so I'd like to weigh in on a legal aspect of the full blown attack to throw James Comey and others in jail.
First of all it bothers me somewhat how our guy.....the President.....gets off scot-free without important records or documents having to be revealed....or White House aides having to testify before Congress....but we get to go full-Soviet on our enemies. Call me old-fashioned but I'm not really into that.
Here's what I theorize as a possibility on what may have happened......these folks.....Comey et al....obviously worked for the FBI for a long time to get to their exalted positions. They therefore have probably been aware of or even worked on Donald Trump files over the four decades of his business interests in Russia. My guess is that they knew the man that American conservatives did not know.....and I did not know.....(until I read over thirty books on him after it became apparent that he wasn't anything like he told us that he was in the primaries)....and that they acted accordingly to what they knew....and quite possibly acted illegally.
I'm in no way trying to justify illegal actions.....but possibly explain them.....and more importantly.....address them as to how these future defendants might not be able to build a defense on those actions....because they cannot just explain it like I just did....but would have to provide documentation.....of which they certainly cannot do because that documentation is classified.....so in effect they would be on trial.....but unable to defend themselves.
Does that make sense? Probably not.....and I don't have a chauffeur's license either! (that also from the commercial)
