The Fix is In; why Comey isn't being prosecuted

If a conservative FBI agent had leaked sensitive FBI material to the press in order to start a special prosecutors investigation of President Obama there would have been hell to pay.

FBI agents aren't super citizens who can disregard government policy in order to advance their own private political agenda.  Yet that's precisely what Comey did.  He kept documents that weren't his to keep and he leaked them to the press and private attorneys without going through the proper FBI channels.

That's what the Inspector General said:

"[E]ven when these employees believe that their most strongly-held personal convictions might be served by an unauthorized disclosure, the FBI depends on them not to disclose sensitive information. Former Director Comey failed to live up to this responsibility," the report said. "By not safeguarding sensitive information obtained during the course of his FBI employment, and by using it to create public pressure for official action, Comey set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees—and the many thousands more former FBI employees—who similarly have access to or knowledge of non-public information."

Yet DOJ has said that it wasn't even a close call to decide to not prosecute Comey.  That's the same DOJ that prosecuted an American hero, Flynn, for supposedly lying to the FBI when the FBI agents who conducted an ambush interrogation that Flynn didn't even know was an interrogation said that they didn't think he lied.

The rules are clear; if you're a conservative then you will be prosecuted for anything no matter how small or ambiguous.  If you're a leftist then you can do pretty much anything and escape punishment.

We saw this when a sailor was sentenced to years in the brig for taking photos that he shouldn't have even though he had no intention of sharing classified data while Hillary Clinton exposed huge amounts of highly classified data to the Chinese in direct violation of government policies, and also hid information that she was required to save due to government transparency laws, wasn't even questioned under oath.

No one is saying that Comey should get 100 years at hard labor but saying that it's ok for government officials to effectively wage a war against politicians they don't like by taking advantage of their position is a very dangerous precedent.

We've seen this before. When Joe the Plumber asked Obama a question he didn't like Democrats in government leaked Joe's private information to the press.  

To the left and the Swamp they have every right to do anything to hurt we the people because they view themselves as our betters and our rulers.  

There are two systems of justice in America today; one for the left and one for the rest of us.  It' time to change that.
