   [continued from previous message]   
      
   2015 and 2017-and with it the Washington administrative establishment itself.   
      
   Comey is not the victim of an arbitrary grand jury indictment.   
      
   Instead, he is fortunate that he does not face both more legal jeopardy and   
   social ostracism for all the harm he has done his country, mostly to please the   
   powers that be in the Obama administration, the media, the liberal bipartisan   
   Washington establishment-and his own exaggerated sense of self.   
      
   In the weeks to come, we may see more indictments of many Washington grandees.   
   The media will allege Trump "revenge," but the legal system will adjudicate-not   
   the New York Times, NPR, or the DNC-whether any of these indictments are proper   
   and lead to convictions.   
      
   We do not know whether John Bolton transmitted classified information   
   improperly   
   that was intercepted by foreign intelligence agencies.   
      
   But we do know that Bolton was chastised by a federal judge for including   
   information in his campaign-cycle memoir that was either likely classified or   
   confidential and whose publication was injurious to his nation's security. In   
   the judge's own words, Bolton "gambled with the national security of the United   
   States," and he "exposed his country to harm and himself to civil and   
   potentially criminal liability."   
      
   We do not know whether former Interim FBI Director Andrew McCabe or FBI   
   Director   
   James Comey was lying when Comey denied he greenlighted subordinates like   
   McCabe   
   to leak confidential FBI information to the media.   
      
   But we do know that McCabe did confess that he lied on four occasions to   
   federal   
   investigators and was not prosecuted by then Attorney General Bill Barr-and not   
   because McCabe did not lie under oath, but because Barr thought he could not   
   convince a Washington jury to convict a high-ranking FBI official. And so he   
   never even made the effort.   
      
   We do not know whether former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper   
   improperly rejected intelligence reports finding no Trump-Russian collusion,   
   but   
   pressed ahead to spread that Russian collusion ruse at the prompt of   
   then-President Barack Obama.   
      
   But we do know that James Clapper lied under oath, with impunity, to the US   
   Congress-and did admit that he did ("least untruthful" answer) when he swore   
   that the NSA did not spy on American citizens. And he likely lied again when he   
   swore that he did not leak elements of the dossier to CNN.   
      
   We do not know whether former CIA Director John Brennan, like Clapper and   
   Comey,   
   ignored intelligence reports finding no basis for Russian-Trump collusion and   
   yet went ahead to use the CIA to help promote that fabrication to injure 2016   
   candidate Trump.   
      
   But we do know that Brennan lied under oath to the U.S. Congress, and with   
   impunity, when he swore that the CIA did not surveil Senate staffers'   
   computers.   
   He lied again with impunity when he claimed that Obama's predator drone   
   targeted   
   assassinations had not killed any collateral civilians.   
      
   All of these officials-well, aside from the Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Jack   
   Smith, and Fani Willis lawfare circus-have so far faced no consequences for   
   their lies and impropriety.   
      
   Indeed, some of them are more likely to have profited from lying by being hired   
   as MSNBC or CNN analysts, where they 'analyzed' the very hoaxes they helped   
   birth. By such exemptions, they have sent the message over the last decade that   
   the elite Washington administrative class is a law unto itself and without any   
   moral bearings whatsoever.   
      
   The final irony? All of them have posed as our moral censors, whether peddling   
   the Russian collusion hoax, the laptop disinformation caper, or the lawfare   
   walls-are-closing-in-on-Trump farces.   
      
   Does it really constitute a "revenge tour" belatedly to seek some sort of legal   
   accounting for these alleged crimes?   
      
   Or over the last decade, has it not been both immoral and injurious to the   
   American sense of equality under the law not to treat these officials as any   
   other American-without their money and connections-would be treated?
