Nobody is above the law, not even the former vice president. Not even a deep state leaker who is using his access to confidential diplomatic information to sway the 2020 election.
Yet this is not the position of the recent leak disguised as a “whistleblower’s disclosure” addressed to Representative Adam (still waiting for “direct” collusion evidence) Schiff (D-Calif.) and Senator Richard Burr (R.-N.C.). The complaint is a tantrum by a self-appointed guardian of elite privilege whose nonsensical monograph seeks to criminalize the president’s inquiry into the 2016 collusion hoax and the apparent leveraging of U.S. aid by Joe Biden to protect his son and his son’s company from criminal prosecution.
I say it is nonsensical because this Ukraine “scandal” is a perfect shoe-on-the-other foot demonstration of the elite’s sacred belief that their hatred of Trump immunizes them from the effects of laws they seek to use as weapons against the president. To paraphrase the famous exchange between Richard Nixon and David Frost:
Question: “Would you say that there are certain situations . . . where a deep-state Resistance bureaucrat can decide that it’s in the best interests of the nation, and do something illegal?”
The Left: “Well, when somebody on our team does it, that means it’s not illegal.”
That’s the only way to make sense of how the self-sainted bureaucrat and the press can call what he did “whistleblowing.”
The term “whistleblower” has a legal definition and, for the author of the August 12 letter, it means an employee “who reasonably believes there has been a violation of law, rule, or regulation; gross mismanagement; waste of resources; abuse of authority; or a substantial danger to public health and safety.”
By contrast, a person who leaks “a difference of opinion over policy, strategy, analysis, or priorities for intelligence funding or collection,” is not a whistleblower.
In this case, the whistleblower told a credulous Chairman Schiff that Trump inappropriately asked the president of Ukraine to “initiate or continue an investigation into the activities of Vice President Joseph Biden and his son, Hunter Biden,” and assist in getting to the bottom of a theory that, “Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election originated in Ukraine.” For more on this, read Julie Kelly’s explosive piece here. These would not be inappropriate requests about matters of public interest. But the questions are being asked about this bureaucrat’s political allies so he leaks to stop the investigation into Biden before it can begin. If he disagrees with the President’s diplomatic and prosecutorial priorities, then he can vote like everyone else in November. It’s not appropriate that he uses his position to coordinate a political hit job with the media and partisan Democrats.

My God, the deep state is desperate to stop Trump from exposing their underbelly and depriving them of power.
I would NOT be surprised if Donald Trump suffered an attack from inside the deep state. Poisoning. Mystery illness. Accident. I just have a bad feeling about this.

I've been thinking this for a while now. They did it to Kennedy. The DOD and MIC keep fighting Trump on troop withdrawals and getting out of these wars.

I have worried about this too, these corrupt thugs aren’t above anything. Personally I think the only reason there’s been no assassination attempt (that we know of) is because they know Pence would be even more conservative than Trump, albeit a lot more boring.

But Trump has been boosting military spending without actually deploying as many weapons. The MIC should love that, but I guess they are worried that is not sustainable unless they keep using the ordinance and having to continually replace it.

That's a good point Joe. Yes, he has, so that may keep them happy, but I think it's the continued wars and new wars they want. They must have loved Bush.
