If Trump and McCarthy believe they're above the law, it's with good reason. It seems that every week, we get a new story about how Trump will be prosecuted for sure this time only to find out that a limitation period was allowed to expire, or a new prosecutor was assigned and decided to drop the case, or the midterm election's coming up, or Jack Smith's been assigned to look into it, or some other lame excuse for inaction. <br /><br />We're now more than two years after Trump incited an insurrection that McCarthy was deeply involved in. We know what happened because the events were covered on live TV, and Congress did an extensive post-mortem and recommended that Trump and others be indicted. But all we've heard from the DOJ is crickets. When criminals aren't prosecuted for crimes committed in full public view, we shouldn't be surprised when they get the idea that the law doesn't apply to them. They're right.

At that point one is purposely avoiding the facts or the truth and usually along with that is supporting fabrications, also known as lies. <br />KM also didn’t answer the question of whether he agrees with the portrayal, lies, Carlson came up with by using the footage KM supplied. He should be pressed on that until he gives HIS opinion. <br />Much like the whitewash some try to give the convoy thingy here, sure, not as bad, but the problem is we all saw it on tv. The footage available to disprove the whitewashes is huge and they only get any consideration because they use selected clips and editing to try to make it look other than what it was. It may take a while to sort it out but there is no way, none, that with all the evidence to the contrary this comes out any other way but the facts and the truth.

A more significant question that i haven't seen put to K Mac is did he break any laws handing over sensitive material to a private corporation. Didn't Julian Assange with Wikileaks do something similar albeit on a more massive scale? How was he able to offer up hours of footage to allow Tucker Carlson to apply his weasel words and personal spin on the situation? The fact that Fox News is embroiled in a lawsuit at this time should have some bearing on questions of KMac's legality. the next time you are questioned on an issue of law try "I didn't know that officer" and see how far that will go.zoombatsnoreply@blogger.com
