Sessions needs to stop the misuse of intelligence for politics
NY Post, Dec 17, 2017, Michael Goodwin

In hindsight, the most important thing said this year came on Jan. 3. Chuck Schumer, leader of Senate Democrats, warned President-elect Trump he would pay a price for disputing intelligence officials’ findings of Russian meddling.

“Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer ­declared.

Schumer was right about a vendetta, but wrong about timing. It’s now clear that intelligence officials already had started “getting back” at the next commander in chief.

They all fit a consistent pattern of weaponizing intelligence and law enforcement for political purposes.

In stark terms, Hillary Clinton got a free pass and Trump got sabotaged — by the same people.

Unfortunately it is just the intelligence agencies that get misused for political purposes.  I cite The IRS and the FBI as exhibits A and B.  The EPA is Exhibit C and the FED exhibit D.

It would surprise me if the same group of bad actors in the FBI that let Hillary off, were the same bunch that let Lois Lerner off. It was after all about the same time frame when they rewrote Comey exoneration. That question has yet to be asked.
