From firebombing protesters to lying FBI agents, a two-tier justice system sharpens in focus

While holding firm in its promise to prosecute Jan. 6 offenders to the max, the U.S. Justice Department made a curious move last week. It withdrew its own plea deal with two lawyers accused of using Molotov cocktails in 2020 during George Floyd protests in New York City and allowed the defendants to plea to different charges that carried less prison time.

The rare reversal by DOJ in the case of attorneys Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman in federal court in New York stunned some legal watchers and added to a pattern of recent cases that some see as evidence of a two-tier system of justice.

The argument first surfaced among conservatives during the Russia collusion scandal when a defendant like Trump National Security Advisor Mike Flynn was pressured to plead guilty to lying to the FBI while the bureau’s then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was allowed to escape any punishment for allegedly lying during an internal investigation. McCabe even got the pension he was stripped of restored.

But that argument has long since escaped the boundaries of the Russia case to other investigations far and wide in America.

For instance, anger and disbelief boiled over last month in the Olympic gymnast community when DOJ announced it wasn’t taking any action against two ex-FBI agents who botched the Larry Nassar sex abuse case, despite evidence they had given false answers to the department’s internal probe.

Sheepishly, the DOJ insisted the get-out-of-jail pass for the former G-men “does not in any way reflect a view that the investigation of Nassar was handled as it should have been, nor in any way reflect approval or disregard of the conduct of the former agents.”

A lawyer representing some of the victims saw it differently.

“The continued failure by the Department of Justice to criminally charge the FBI agents, U.S.A. Gymnastics and the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee officials who conspired to cover up the largest sex abuse scandal in the history of sport is incomprehensible,” attorney John Manly said.

The optics of disparate treatment again raised howls this weekend when former Trump economic adviser Peter Navarro, a 72-year-old academic with a spotless criminal record, was handcuffed and shackled after being indicted for contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena. Exactly a decade earlier, then-Attorney General Eric Holder escaped punishment when DOJ — his own department — declined to prosecute him for defying a similar congressional subpoena in the Fast and Furious scandal.

Study the Bolshevik revolution for the crystal ball recon report.
The banksters are behind this second Bolshevik revolution as well.
Drooling normie dullards who are too stupid to ever catch a clue are dangerous boat anchors and informants at this point.
They will turn you in for a fully charged EBT card or a pat on the head from their masters as they lick boots.

Crystal ball recon reporter poses a question… will reactions from victims of tyranny manifest with scattered martyrdoms or will a general wave of kinetic response rise up and sweep the nation?

At some point self-preservation will kick in but likely with a very few, and likey when someone’s family member is gulaged or martyred. The rest will be too cowed, drugged, or ignorant.

At some point ‘social justice’ will rise from the other end of the spectrum, again from the very few. “They’ call everyone a nazi, but by looking at 3 things a prediction can be made. 1. Cycles of history e.g. 4th Turning etc. 2. ‘”Yin-yang’ in which when something goes too far it turns into it’s opposite, 3. Learned helplessness theory, in which while 90% of dogs – or people – can be made to give up, a certain percentage is simply wired NOT to give up.

Put them all together and you can bet that somewhere, there are men who see no future, feel targeted, want a future or themselves and their families, feel no collective guilt, and are smart, cunning, hard, potentially vicious, and will one day emerge as the Real Deal the left brays about all the time. Might be white guys, black guys, separate or together – who knows, but the driving for WILL be the same: demonize the innocent long enough and finally something very dangerous climbs out of the pressure cooker.

They will likely NOT not be ‘nice people.’ And they will look to ‘do business’ for real. It’s inevitable.
