Above the Law

 January 6th, 2021, is a day that will live in infamy. We know this because all the self-righteous Democrats and Republicans-In-Name-Only (RINOs) told us so.


It seems as though Donald Trump, the outgoing president, was somehow complicit in the overenthusiastic rally by his supporters to display their concerns about the questionable election of Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.


He made a modest speech before this rally began, in which he urged the masses to reign-in their ire and protest peacefully. Unfortunately, there were well-placed troublemakers among the throngs of rally participants, many of whom were videoed urging the rally-goers to enter the U.S. Capitol. And they did.


In the weeks and months that followed, hundreds of rally participants were identified by facial recognition software, using thousands of hours of videotape and cellphone recordings. Capitol Police, the FBI, and Secret Service identified and interviewed seemingly countless people who were on the Capitol grounds that day.


Mothers, fathers, parents with children, whites and blacks, and many, many others, were identified a complicit in what the eventual January 6th Committee deemed “an insurrection.” Television pundits and oh-so-pious politicians – many of whom publicly cried aloud about how they escaped with their lives – desperately sought television cameras to validate their spongy stories.


Well-known Squad Members gleefully whored themselves before every media camera and/or microphone to point their crooked little fingers at MAGA Republicans, in general – Donald Trump, in particular. And what a show it became.


Able to identify masked individuals through cellphone data, Smart Watches, airplane tickets, automobile tracking software, and anointed neighbors, created a dog-and-pony-show beyond belief. Hearings were held during primetime television, as well as daytime soap operas, much to the ire of countless regular viewers. And very few channels were exempt from this sordid exhibition.


Equally public trials were aired ad nauseum to ensure as close to total public saturation as possible. Professionally produced, these normally amateurish displays of self-aggrandizing appeared more like a Busby Berkeley production than a guvment operation – all in an effort to sway election opinions.


Eventually, the smart folks from the Big Three networks, as well as CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC, turned over seemingly countless rocks to find has-been politicians, former guvment agency heads, retired military experts, along with a few washed-up newspaper and television reporters, to ape tripe regarding this public display by Trump supporters.


This political gathering was gleefully compared to Watergate, the Civil War, and World War II, by anyone with an overly active imagination, augmented by a grotesquely large ego. And there were plenty. They seemed to ooze from the walls, from beneath rocks, and climbing out from underneath desks, while dusting off their dated, moth-bitten navy-blue suits. It was a spectacle to behold.


According to Blessed Saint Nancy Pelosi, then House Speaker, “No one is above the law!” It seemed as though that message should be carved in stone.


Even when an unarmed former military enlistee was shot by a Capitol Police Officer, it was deemed to be her – the victim’s – fault. Quite sordid, indeed. No one is above the law!


For over 16-months, trials continued, although public interest waned. Nonetheless, it was only following the mid-term elections that this ebb in punishing anyone voting Republican began to subside.


Fast forward to today, July 2023.


Surprising news surfaced a few days ago about an astonishing discovery at the United States’ White House: a bag containing cocaine.


WARNING: Please restrain yourself from getting ahead of this story.


Hunter Biden, first son, among his other array of talents, is a bona fide drug user. Yes, this business executive, international liaison, oil expert, train aficionado, artist, and gigolo, also adds drug addict to his résumé – along with photographic evidence. “No one is above the law!”

More nearsighted than blind

The United States Secret Service, the agency designated the protector of the president and other select dignitaries, located this package which was quickly tested and tested again, and retested to ensure it was legitimately an illegal drug. It was. “No one is above the law!”


Immediately, the games to identify the person who left this illicit package in the West Wing were on. Copious cameras were downloaded, storage boxes for cellphones were dusted for fingerprints, and a search for traces of DNA evidence was instituted. “No one is above the law!”


Collaboration to identify – without prejudice or error – the culprit responsible for leaving this cocaine inside the hallowed grounds of the most secure building in the country.


Recall the previous few paragraphs that highlight the hands-down speedy identification and apprehension of the so-called miscreants who invaded – during their “insurrection” – the Capitol in order to stave off a complete and total overthrow of America. “No one is above the law!”


With prison sentences of 7-years for trespassing, for first time offenders, it would only make sense the similar rules would apply to the clear snubbing of ones’ nose at the expected order at the White House. “No one is above the law!”


After all, with the massive influx of Fentanyl and other dangerous, deadly drugs freely overflowing the nation’s Southern Border, it would seem logical to interdict the possibility of an accidental overdose due to the use of a substance adulterated with Fentanyl, or another deadly narcotic; let’s at least protect the First Family.


Now this is where I, as an uninformed dumb civilian, would expect quick results to wrap up this illegal possession and act of embarrassment, from the Secret Service.


After less than a week “investigating” the facts of the mysterious cocaine discovery came to an abrupt conclusion, with the results being…


Inconclusive.


What? I thought “No one is above the law!”


It appears as though someone very, very wily – in fact, more clever than the entire cadre of the Secret Service out-smarted this elite federal law enforcement agency.


Although it would be difficult to handle a packet of a powdery substance without wearing gloves, to avoid leaving fingerprints, it would also seem unusual to not leave trace amounts of DNA on the package. Let us not forget the well-trained cameras in the visitor’s area of the West Wing, sure to capture at least a fleeting image of who used that cellphone cubby.


As it turns out, Representative Tim Burchett R-Tenn., lamented the Secret Service had lost any fingerprint data and DNA sampling inasmuch as they had already destroyed the less-than-one-gram package of verified cocaine, thereby making identification impossible. Not the stuff Sherlock Holmes was made of.


You’re free to draw your own conclusions.


But thank goodness “No one is above the law!”
