Responding to this article:

This is exactly what is wrong with our country.  First of all the insane complexity of our legal system.  To the point that an excellent speaker like McCarthy must still go to great lengths to explain one case to the average person.  And I’m not even sure the average person could make sense of this article.  And McCarthy just scratches the surface.  And the average person should be the standard, that is the genius of the jury system.  Could the average person, were he to put his political biases aside, even conceive of why any  of this is illegal in the first place?  There are clearly no issues of morality here.  These are technicalities of technicalities.  And the whole mess is just a way to enrich lawyers and to wrap your enemies up in a web they can’t possibly get out of.  Regardless of if they actually harmed anyone.  Remember the basis of common law? A crime is when you harm persons or property.  And you might just say property, your person is your property.  Prosecutors have it pretty easy these days.  They don’t have to prove that the accused harmed someone beyond a doubt.  They just have to suggest how he might have broken some arbitrary rule no one ever heard of.  What a joke!

Second, we have built an elaborate system of pay-for-play government.  This behemoth rewards certain industries, and companies and punishes others.  That is the system.  Yet we want to fine and harass people for daring to engage this system for the benefit of their companies.  Well we fine and harass them if they didn’t jump through the right hoops, or if they are not half-black or if they don’t have a D after their names.  In which case these investigations are just another layer of pay-for-play.  If you didn’t pay your politically correct dues, we attack your industry and your person.  Those who drive the narrative, want to make the issue about who is buying government, instead of addressing the real problem, how much is for sale.

Bill Gates never played.  He never bought government, or used government to attack his competitors.  But he succeeded anyway, and so they made him buy in.  That’s that antitrust business that happened a few years ago. It’s not about corporate monopolies, it’s about the Washington power monopoly.  The mafia can’t have one business on the street which doesn’t pay them homage.  Especially when that business is so successful.  And that’s what is going on here.  Trump never paid his dues to get into the club of elite politicians who think they are God and the only ones capable of running things.  And so he must pay.  The mafia must send a message to anyone else who might try it too.  You want to change Washington?  Well how about we raid the homes of every person who had even the most cursory role in your campaign?  And so you see droves of Conservatives and leaving Congress leaving Washington.  Trying to stick it to your enemies with layers of laws will just come around and bite you in the end.
