Memo
To: President Trump
From: The Forgotten Men and Women in America
Re: Rebuilding our Faith in the Rule of Law
Dear Mr. President,
Thank you for everything that you have done to make America great again!
The tax and regulatory policies that you have enacted since January 2017 have magically (at least according to President Obama’s “wand” theory) improved the American economy to a degree that was unthinkable. (see Nobel Laureate & New York Times Expert Paul Krugman for example)
Your willingness to confront global threats such as North Korea, Iran and Russia is a welcome change from your predecessor whose lead from behind “strategy” and apology tour promoted chaos which inevitably threatened the safety of the civilized world. Rather than repeatedly drawing red lines or ignoring conflict, it is clear that frank negotiations unwilling to compromise on American safety together with military strength are the only reasonable means of deterrence as Ronald Reagan understood during the Cold War. A decision not to engage is a decision to accept the consequences of bad actors with bad intentions. We are blessed to have an American President who recognizes that one of his sacred obligations is to “preserve, protect and defend” our nation.
The resurgence in American patriotism is absolutely attributable to you. Your commitment to a policy of America first (American Nationalism), to strengthening our military, to treating our veterans with respect, to honoring first responders, to demanding respect for our national anthem demonstrate a love of America that the 44th President of the United States was unable or unwilling to express with the nation. When Lee Greenwood sings God bless the USA at your rallies, the electricity in the crowd is remarkable. Your love of America is sincere and genuine. As a fellow American, I am proud that my President loves our country and has dedicated his life to returning it to the founding principles that enabled greatness.
Given your recent history of making and fulfilling promises, a revolutionary concept in modern politics, I fully expect that you will address immigration, fair trade and health care, and if the opportunity presents itself, nominate another conservative justice for the Supreme Court.
On behalf of my fellow forgotten American men and women, I implore you to add one more significant task to your list of priorities between now and the election of 2020:
Restore American confidence in our system of justice. For too long, we have watched as Leftist politicians and Washington bureaucrats have deliberately violated both the letter and spirit of our laws. They have done so with an arrogance and contempt for the forgotten man that cannot be ignored. They have done so because they believe that they are above the law and will not be held responsible for their actions. Worse, they have effectively turned various governmental agencies into tyrannical weapons in pursuit of their political agenda.
These criminals MUST be held accountable for their crimes. Justice must be served. If America is to continue to serve as the world’s last best hope for freedom and liberty, if the American dream is to survive, if Americans are to maintain confidence in the ideals and aspirations of a Constitutional republic, justice must prevail.
What if the forgotten man, like the submariner who spent a year in jail for taking a picture in a submarine, concludes that there are two separate systems of justice? Can a constitutional republic survive if the people lose faith in the system? Can a constitutional republic survive without virtue and integrity? Skepticism and cynicism are inevitable when a double standard exists. Civic virtue is a must for freedom, liberty and justice to survive.
The Department of Justice, now led by Matthew Whitaker, must expose, try and punish those responsible for perpetrating a series of crimes that taken together represent the greatest threat to our nation since the Civil War. As with the southern Democrats in 1861, these individuals have acted (alone and in some cases conspired) with complete disregard for the Constitution.
These individuals include the following:
- Barack Obama - the man who weaponized the IRS, the FBI, the CIA, the NSA. He authorized a spying operation on American citizens for political purposes including the unmasking of more than 2,000 people. He was complicit in the transmission of top secret documents through an unauthorized server courtesy of his Secretary of State. He instructed his Department of Justice to ignore multiple crimes in order to protect his administration, his political party, his legacy;
- John Brennan - former CIA head who orchestrated the setup and spying on American citizens as well as the unmasking of Americans, conspired with UK/Australian and other intelligence officials to deliberately bypass normal intelligence channels, gather information to be used against a political opponent;
- Hillary Clinton - former Secretary of State & Presidential candidate who violated multiple laws regarding the handling of top secret material, destroyed emails under subpoena, contributed to the death of multiple CIA agents, sold out American interests with Uranium One, operated a fraud foundation whose primary purpose was to shake down foreign governments in exchange for cash and favors, funded the use of a dossier and actively disseminated its contents to the national media in order to falsely claim that the newly elected President was victorious because of Russian “collusion”;
- Jim Clapper - former NIC responsible for conspiring with Brennan in an illegal spying operation for political purposes and lying to Congress under oath;
- Eric Holder - the only AG in the history of the United States ever held in contempt by congress, who has never been held to account for the Fast and Furious Operation that led to the death of American law enforcement agents;
- James Comey - The FBI, under Comey’s direction, conducted covert, renegade surveillance of American citizens in full violation of the fourth amendment, he signed FISA warrants to spy on the Trump campaign without verifying that the required evidence of probable cause was, in fact, truthful and legitimate.
- Andrew McCabe - former #2 man at the FBI, now ex-FBI agent under investigation for his actions related to the Clinton and Trump investigations, lied regarding his recusal on the Clinton email scandal while his wife received a significant financial gift/political contribution from a Clinton associate.
- Peter Strozk - Ex-FBI agent who failed to pursue criminal claims against HRC in order to protect her political objectives while at the same time demonstrated extraordinary personal bias against the President and recklessly pursued counter-intelligence claims against Donald Trump that violated department standards and compromised the investigation.
If these (and other) individuals are held responsible for their actions, it will demonstrate to the forgotten men and women of the United States that Washington DC is NOT out of control, that no man is above the law, that the rule of law still exists, that the government cannot be used as a weapon against citizens to achieve political ends. As it stands today, Americans have serious doubts about the integrity of the DOJ and the FBI based upon the events of recent years. Turning the immense power of the federal investigative agencies against individuals without reasonable or probable cause for political purposes is unprecedented in American history.
If the precedent is set that there is no penalty for gross violations of the Constitution or attempting to overthrow a duly elected President by illegal means, then it will be tried again when the party in power decides that it cannot risk the loss of power in an election. What would happen if the peaceful transfer of power between political parties after an election is put at risk? (see Florida, Arizona & Georgia)
When Hillary responds “what does it matter”, it is the obligation of the Department of Justice to insist that it has a sacred duty to protect the citizens of the United States, to ensure that Constitution is upheld and that the rule of law is applied to everyone equally and fairly. It is ruinous to our nation to allow the perception that anyone can act without regard for consequences.
It’s time for justice to be served. If not now, when? The House Democrats have already announced their intention to focus the next two years on sham investigations, all of which are designed to hound the President to such a degree that he is rendered politically impotent by their tactics. Reports that the President is considering declassifying all materials related to the Russian investigation would short circuit the Democrat plan to pursue the issue of Russian collusion. If this declassification process were matched by a coordinated Department of Justice investigation into any and all of the crimes that I have referenced, it would put the Democrats on the defensive and enable President Trump to declare, rightfully, that the Mueller investigation was based on a lie that can be traced to most if not all of the individuals referenced in this essay.

I fully expect that the Left (current Democratic Party leadership) will attempt to claim that the Department of Justice investigations into any/all of the people listed in this essay are cynical acts of revenge/political punishment ordered by the President. Of course they never expected to be in this position because they fully expected Hillary to be President. None of this would have seen the light of day under a Democratic administration. In fact, I believe that the HRC administration would have attempted to prosecute Donald Trump after the election in order to send a message that opposition would be futile and that like a mob boss, the punishment would be exponential to ensure that no future opposition would be attempted.
The Left has zero credibility when it comes to the moral high ground. They only respect raw political power. If they have it, they wield their authority with righteous anger and apply it without concern for collateral damage. If they have an lost an election, they will do anything to regain power, including (in this case) attempting to overthrow a legitimately elected President. They have done everything imaginable, together with their communication wing known as the mainstream media, to delegitimize and demonize the 45th President of the White House.
The Mainstream Media will be forced to cover DOJ indictments, investigations and trials. They will no doubt defend the perpetrators at all costs, but trials have an amazing way of persuading voters by evidence. The MSM has conducted an offensive operation against Donald Trump and have resolutely refused to publicize allegations against these American traitors. A decision by the Department of Justice to move forward and prosecute would place them in the impossible position of ignoring a major story.
Most Detroiters never believed that former Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick would ever be held to account by his peers in a criminal trial, but the weight of evidence was so compelling (and embarrassing) that not only did Kwame receive multiple guilty verdicts and a lengthy sentence, polls afterwards showed that his political career was dead and his legacy demolished by the incontrovertible fact that he was a thief and a thug. Everyone associated with the city of Detroit believed that the city was hopelessly corrupt UNTIL justice was finally delivered. Together with the bankruptcy process, the former mayor’s conviction has enabled the city to make substantial progress in just a few years because people finally had faith and confidence that city government was no longer corrupt.
Perhaps Carl Bernstein will finally be persuaded that the Democrats were responsible for a series of crimes that make Watergate look like child’s play by comparison...and if not, I have faith in the majority of American people that they will be able to decide, once the evidence is made public, that Obama, Hillary and the rest are guilty of historically unprecedented crimes that must NEVER be allowed to be repeated by anyone. As Mark Twain wrote, facts are stubborn things.
It’s time for justice. The wheels of justice have ground slowly. Will they grind surely?
