Unfortunately when the wider U.S. electorate voted the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers to be the president of the United States they were, perhaps unwittingly, ushering in a new era of governmental weaponization, the fundamental change.
Legal issues, events and cases ceased to be determined by laws, and the politics of any given event became the overriding filter through which all action, or lack thereof, would be determined. The last seven years have provided numerous examples for points of reference.
The IRS investigation of conservative groups was driven by politics, not legality. The criminal charges against George Zimmerman were driven by politics, not evidence or legality. The investigation of Darren Wilson was driven by politics, not evidence or legality. The arrests of the Baltimore Six were driven by politics, not factual, substantial evidence.
These are just a few examples of manipulated common law principles that have been overridden by considerations of political benefits. Those political filters are also why the Orlando Jihadist massacre will not lend favor toward the arrest or prosecution of any related entity.
The politics of it all simply don’t benefit the Obama administration or the legal advisers within the administration who apply political filters to determine outcomes.
2016 is an election year.
