Steve Bannon was just sentenced to 4 months in prison for not appearing before Congress.

In case you didn’t know how the game works, people in Congress can lie all the time.  They can even lie about things that start wars, which end up killing hundreds of thousands of people.  But they don’t get into any legal trouble for this.  They typically don’t even get into any political trouble.

But if you lie before the lying people in Congress, then you may find yourself in jail.  If you don’t show up in front of Congress when the lying criminals want you to, then you may find yourself in jail like Steve Bannon.

There have been a lot of Trump supporters and associates who have found themselves in legal trouble going back to 2016.  This evidently now includes Trump himself since the FBI raided his home.

If you are anti Trump, then you probably think all of these people in legal trouble (some of whom have gone or are going to prison) just shows that Trump is a bad guy.  It is proof to you that nobody is above the law and Trump associates with a bunch of criminals.

Trump has associated with a bunch of criminals, but they don’t seem to be the ones in legal trouble.  John Bolton and Mike Pompeo never found themselves in legal trouble or being investigated, let alone being sent to prison.

We have seen George Papadopoulos, Michael Flynn, Carter Page, Roger Stone, and Steve Bannon, just to name some big ones, who have found themselves against the “Justice” Department and the intelligence agencies.

What is it about these people?  Are they really just bad people?  Are they the criminals?

America First and Anti Establishment

Again, John Bolton and Mike Pompeo have been fine.  The FBI isn’t investigating Nikki Haley as far as we know.  Merrick Garland isn’t raiding the home of Bill Barr.

All of the people getting in trouble are those who go against the establishment.  They also question U.S. foreign policy, much like Trump has done at times despite hiring some war hawks.

So the people being investigated and ending up in jail are the same people who question U.S. interventionism overseas.  That is such a coincidence.

What are the chances that all of the criminals just happen to question overseas wars and interventions?  It’s amazing how it all works out like that.

It’s not that all of these people were as anti war as someone like Ron Paul.  But they definitely questioned U.S. foreign policy.

If Michael Flynn, instead of advocating dialogue and getting along with Russia, had advocated ramping up tensions with Russia, do you think he would have found himself in legal trouble?

So for all of the anti Trump people who just think these people are getting what they deserve, ask yourself why none of the hardcore war hawks find themselves in any legal trouble?  Are Mike Pompeo and John Bolton better people than Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos?

If you defy the establishment and you challenge the military-industrial complex, the “Justice” Department and the so-called intelligence agencies are making it clear what will happen to you if you have any influence.
