“Our Nation's top law enforcement officials took a very dangerous turn last week when they essentially rewrote the law for the well-connected and privileged in America. This should be deeply troubling to all ordinary Americans, both on the left and on the right. For those of us who work hard every day, play by the rules, and live by the law, when we cross the line, it is the law that holds us accountable. But that standard of law does not seem to apply to the Clintons. John Adams warned during the formation of our Constitution that we must be a nation of laws, not a nation of men. Undermining this founding principle for the privileged not only demonstrates poor judgment, it further erodes our trust in the institutions of government. So it is left for us to now ask whether what we have come to is a nation of laws, or is it a government of the rich and powerful? Do we have a Department of Justice or a department of ``just us''? FBI Director James Comey testified before Congress to the many laws that former Secretary of State Clinton broke, acknowledging ``extreme carelessness'' while denying ``gross negligence,'' which by definition are one and the same. Then, incredibly, Mr. Comey said that there was no need for prosecution.…”
