Remember

[H2O Man]

41. It is an

imperfect justice system that we have. (Or "they" have.) And that's from the local level up. I've worked on court cases on the local, state, and federal levels, and recognize some of the problem is found in the people involved, and some is the nature of the system. I've seen justice denied, delayed, and/or delivered.

I disagree with Bill Barr's decision to rule that the DOJ not charge a sitting president. In part, because of Barr's political agenda to promote an "imperial presidency" beyond what Schlesinger warned of in his 1973. And part was a system that had gone by this concept well before Barr.

Likewise, I don't think the DOJ should delay an indictment, because of the November elections. Trump's not running. Trump is more of a national security threat than, say, the Unabomber was. It didn't matter that his arrest might upset militia-minded voters.

I might prefer it go faster, but I can appreciate that an investigation with that many witnesses, potential targets, and those who are clearly guilty as sin -- along with on-going threat assessments -- might take longer. Will it result in justice? Delayed? Denied. We will have to wait and see.

As far as cattle getting out, I should note that no one on DU has had more experience -- good and bad -- in that field. Imagine skipping school in 6th grade, watching Captain Kangaroo, and having your father's herd looking in the window? The question becomes do you try to put them in and fix the fence? Or risk a neighbor calling your father at work, and him hurrying home? Or working on John & Yoko's farm, and spending unlimited hours getting heifers back out of the woods? Having a bull run over you when you try to get him back? To have "beefalo" from a neighbors' farm constantly destroying your pastures, because the grass looked greener? Or finally, being arrested by state police for cattle rustling, being held for two hours in a detention room -- including having two investigators stick their heads in, and one say, "We have ways of making 'tough guys' talk!" Only to resolve it within two minutes when actual interrogation began, and all charges dropped? Being left to walk the 23 miles home, as you were "no longer in custody"? Ha!
