Democrat Hypocrisy On Executive Privilege Recalls Different “Gunwalker” Reaction

What’s going on is obvious. After spending almost two years and millions of dollars, the once much-touted Mueller investigation came up empty, with no evidence of Russian collusion, the ostensible reason for the investigation in the first place, and no criminal charges for the president on obstruction of justice. Those behind the failed coup are furious and bent both on revenge and on diverting attention from the potential for new investigations that could uncover their own criminal culpability.
Curiously, Nadler, fellow Democrats and most of the DSM contained their outrage and instead provided cover for the Obama administration’s obstruction of justice in the Operation Fast and Furious investigations conducted by the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
That’s because they have no scruples except power. They make Machiavelli proud. Recall when the progressives hated the CIA, FBI and law enforcement? I do. They don’t hate them now because they are them. All institutions of the FedGov are shot through with progressives, meaning that they don’t mind using that power to effect their own gain and press their own world view.
It’s the same with executive privilege under Obama and Trump. It’s good for Obama if he was using it to hide sending guns South of the border in a scheme to bolster gun control in America. It’s bad for Trump if they hate him and want to know more about him.
It all has nothing whatsoever to do with what’s right and wrong, or just and unjust.

Look at any country in Latin America. This is their template for us. About 5% of the elites control the other 95%. They can only do this if we are disarmed.
