Chuck Rosenberg:

"The rule of law is a construct. It was made by people — and is nurtured and preserved by people. It can also be destroyed by people.... we either safeguard it or we surrender it. That's the choice."

"What political leadership did here — mandating a favor for a friend of the president in line with the president’s publicly expressed desire in the case — significantly damages the rule of law and the perception of Justice Department fairness."

"Principled resignations by career federal prosecutors highlighted this dangerous stunt. I am proud of them for that.

"But I find it revolting that they were pushed into that corner.

"It is dangerous territory for the rule of law."

Well I cant sleep so I've been thinking about why some writers and politicians seem to misunderstand the concept of "rule of law," and I think it comes down to people getting confused about the word "rule."
"Rule" has two meanings: a law or regulation, and an authority or regime. "Rule of law" is the latter - the law is the authority, not the king or the president or the prime minister. "Rule of law" was originally described in opposition to "rule of man."
Some writers seem to be under the impression that "rule of law" is a rule, like, a rule that the law must be followed. But that's incorrect and leads you to the exact opposite conclusion of what the whole concept was cooked up for.

I cannot account for this. I simply can’t make sense of it. The most incompetent, truly diabolically awful government in my lifetime and probably in British history. Why am I so far out of sync with voters? What is wrong with people? theguardian.com/politics/2019/…
I can understand certain people voting for Tories because they want to pay less tax or because they think they’ll be better for business. But voting for Mr Fuck Business who has spaffed more money up the wall than any Labour government? Who lost all vaguely competent Tory MPs?
Maybe you’re a nationalist who thinks the Tories stand for a strong Britain? But Johnson is an international embarrassment, he lied to the Queen, he buried a report into Russian interference, he’ll break up the UK. I do not get it.

Tell me if I miss anyone but in someways we are experiencing the after effects of what happens when Prosecutors consider some people "small fish"

Turd Blossom aka Karl Rove, was involved with Watergate but was considered small fish.
Manafort was involved with Watergate but was
considered small fish

Roger Stone was involved with Watergate but was considered small fish.
There are others but these are the top 3 that have gone on to fuck this nation over right and left, and profit the entire time they're doing it.

Then we have William Barr, who the MSM &
the majority of politicians and others in D.C. spent weeks telling us how honorable he was, how he was a man for the rule of law, while the rest of us were like,"Um, are we talking about the same guy?"

You know the guy who looked at those responsible for Iran-Contra (which was

1. 🚨URGENT: MUST READ 🚨

👉🏼 Incoming THREAD

#Q has told us many, MANY times to read the Executive Orders. So, I decided to do a deep dive.

#POTUS Executive Orders show clear plans for MASS ARRESTS & MILITARY TRIBUNALS

#QAnon #TheStorm #WWG1WGA
2. Below I lay out the evidence for President Trump’s plan to issue mass arrests of DS traitors, then try them for treason under military tribunals.

These EO's clearly spell out the timeline, and WHY we haven't seen arrests.. YET.

It's coming! But when?
Buckle up & read on👇🏼
3. Executive Order 13825: March 1, 2018 - "2018 Amendments to the Manual for Courts-Martial, US"

The Deep State's attempt to start WW3, kill 90% of humanity and create a coup on the government has been axed.

Thank you #POTUS 🙏🏻
