There was a day in this country when, if you did something illegal, immoral or unethical... you paid for it in one way or another. You got charged, tried, convicted and made to pay a fine or go to jail; you got tossed out of your church; or you lost your job and your reputation. You might have heard about those days as being about "truth, justice and the American way."
It didn't matter who you were, who you knew, how much money or power you had, or what side of the tracks you lived on; screw up and pay for it. Countless Senators, Representatives, Judges, corporate executives and Hollywood actors got caught and lost virtually everything in the process. That way of life even affected a president... Richard M. Nixon.
It's not that way anymore; it seems to me that nobody has to own up to their misdeeds these days. Illegals come to our country, commit crimes and get put on pedestals. Corruption is an everyday occurrence everywhere. An innocent young woman gets shot and killed on a wharf in San Francisco and everyone turns their backs on the family while the City rushes to defend the perpetrator and the circumstances.
Along comes the most powerful and wealthy political woman in modern U.S. history who is directly responsible for the deaths of four innocent Americans in Benghazi, who violated national security regulations, and who actively participated in "pay for play" schemes involving her husband, the office of Secretary of State and her "foundation." Rather than having someone blow the whistle, she had hundreds of employees and high government officials from the White House to the Justice Department, to the State Department, to the F.B.I. and God only knows where else... covering up for her in an open, flagrant scheme to obstruct justice.
And it looks like she totally got away with it. Well... nobody's even talking about it anymore, are they?
Mr. Trump: Someone needs to get this poison off the American table.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
