With wealth and power and all the lawyers in the world, there is a different justice system for the rich. Especially the rich that are willing to lie and deceive the people.
Everybody knows that Donald Trump is guilty as sin. We have seen him obstruct justice, standing in the Oval Office with the Russians, and bragging about why he fired the FBI Director, James Comey. We have seen him tell a newsman that it was his plan to fire him all along.
He has betrayed our country by asking the Russians to turn over the emails on Hillary Clinton.
But, justice is not for privileged people like Donald Trump. He knows it. Just as he said, he could "shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and he would not lose any support. He truly believes that he can get away with murder, so long as he is wealthy and powerful.
He has evaded paying any taxes for about the last twenty years. He operates in company with the Russian Mafia, handling properties in this country for them whenever they wish to launder large amounts of money.
Robert Mueller is on the side of justice. But, in the end, he will turn over his evidence to the Republican Congress and they are not likely to act in the present environment. The only way left to get justice is at the ballot box. We should start registering people for the next election today. Otherwise, I fear we will have no justice.
