When Our Guardians Fail Us
Victor Davis Hanson

Posted: Dec 05, 2019 12:01 AM

One symptom of a society in crisis is the unreliability or even corruption of its own auditors.

After all, when the watchmen have lost moral authority to watch, who can be believed or trusted? Or, as the Roman satirist Juvenal famously put it, "Who will guard the guardians?"

It was recently reported that FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith altered an email to bolster a suspicious FBI effort to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court warrant authorizing the surveillance of Carter Page, a onetime employee of the Trump campaign.

If true, Clinesmith helped the FBI successfully delude the court into granting what was likely an illegal request to spy on the Trump campaign. Clinesmith was reportedly expelled from special counsel Robert Mueller's legal team for cheering on opposition to the Trump presidency by writing "Viva la resistance!" in a text message discussion.

FedGov lawyers, Page, Clinesmith, and of course several others named McCabe,  Comey, Lynch, Obama, etc.

set out to entrap, resist, spy on and perform a Coup d' Etat on Trump.

I do not know any time in our history that comes close to this.
