Planner of Benghazi Attack Captured? What About the Video? | The Rush Limbaugh Show:

"Now, wait a minute. I know when you hear things go by, it’s tough enough to have things register if you’re reading, but let me read this again and see if there’s anything that jumps out at you. ABC News bulletin, this was yesterday afternoon about 4:30. “Just in: U.S. Special Operations Forces conducted raid in Libya that captured a planner of the 2012 Benghazi attack, officials tell ABC.”
Does this mean that U.S. Special Operations Forces conducted a raid on Libya that captured the guy who planned the video that Obama and Hillary said caused the protest at the consulate? Remember, Obama and Hillary said there was a horrible video and that we couldn’t do anything to the guy because of our laws. But we found this poor guy, Nakoula Nakoula, whatever his name was, we put him in jail and Hillary and Obama tried to live off this lie that a video had caused this."

Lady Justice

By Tammy Derouin

When we think about justice being served, one of the first things that come to mind is that a wrong will be corrected and the offender(s), having been held accountable, will face some sort of punishment.

Justice is a process. It begins with a violation or an accusation and is followed by legal proceedings. Information is gathered to see if there is enough evidence to move forward with a trial. If the process continues, the evidence is supported and challenged by both sides. Individual testimony, to support or discredit claims, are presented which will hopefully render a clearer picture of the events which took place, or didn't take place.

Justice, in the United States, comes with the benefit of being innocent until proven guilty and that everyone is held to the same standards under the law, regardless of stature. Lady Justice is blindfolded for a reason. Do we still respect and demand fairness?

Justice, as a process, has an end; acquittal or punishment. Everyone will have an opinion as to whether justice was served and if the punishment fit the crime. Understandably, many factors come into play from personal feelings, the facts, as well as the acceptance of the facts. Unfortunately, facts have become less important on the political stage. Many attempts have been made to bury them while creating a different reality to the liking of a political party. This has dangerous consequences for everyone.

At the personal level, everyone wants to be treated fairly. We demand fairness and the legal process to defend ourselves. It is our right. But, as a society, we have begun to accept mob opinion as a form of justice. We have allowed public opinion, pushed by the media, to shape our thoughts and act as judge and jury on the public stage. These are not the principles of the United States.

When the elitists or the unwitting, who become useful players for political gain, are allowed to be held to different standards, by ignoring evidence or suppressing the truth, we create a dangerous situation. Ignoring the justice process is criminal in its own right. Inserting false realities, thereby tampering with the truth, to promote an agenda, and then to not be held accountable, mocks the process of justice. Confidence in the system begins to crumble.

For years, we have watched the press betray the American people by ignoring facts and not reporting the truth. The press, which once held public officials, our elected representation, accountable to the people, folded right before our eyes and become a tool for the Democratic Party and a Left-Wing agenda. Evidence continues to surface. It begs for the process of justice to work through the layers of accumulating evidence against those who served in the Obama administration. But, will it?

We have also watched federal departments and agencies become politicized. They are supposed to be non-partisan. Fairness is difficult to obtain if you are playing favorites for a political party. The IRS scandal is a perfect example and the latest revelations offer more proof of the destructive intent of the previous administration.

When a branch of government over steps its bounds they are supposed to be challenged. If we do not know how our system of government is supposed to work, we will continue to cause harm to ourselves and our nation. A law isn’t a law just because, there is a process, not a decree by the executive or judicial branch. The judicial system is not supposed to re-write a law to make it work if it doesn't work as written. Congress, the representatives of the people, is actually pretty powerful. They make the laws and they hold the purse strings. If, for one reason or another, they are scared to follow proper procedures or they have been corrupted, they become useless to the people they represent and will eventually become obsolete. Allowing any branch of government to be overlooked or not held accountable creates future chaos.

The press is not supposed to be an arm of the government, yet look at the puppet show which has been created by those who once held power and are still trying to pull the strings as they hide in the shadows. Our rights, our accomplishments, our traditions and heritage have been mocked by those on the Left. We, the American people, will be the ones who will suffer a great lose if we do not demand justice be served. The process must take place. Those who are in question, as evidence continues to accumulate, must be held to the same standards under the law.

“The reason I like the criminal justice system is there aren't Republican or Democrat victims or police officers or prosecutors. It's about respect for the rule of law!”

What We’ve Learned About the Funding of the Dossier | The Rush Limbaugh Show:

"RUSH: A few more tidbits here on the Trump dossier. The Democrats are beginning to indicate now that… They’re beginning to acknowledge that it was paid for by Hillary and the DNC and they had a cutout law firm to make the transaction, Perkins Coie. Pencil Neck, Adam Schiff — the ranking Democrat of the House Intelligence Committee — was on one of the Sunday shows yesterday. He said, “Well, really it doesn’t matter who paid for it. When you get right down to it, who paid for it doesn’t matter. What matters is how much of it is true.”
It doesn’t matter who paid for it, but what matters is how much of it is true? Do you think who paid for it might be a factor in how much of it is true, Pencil Neck? For example, if Hillary Clinton and the Democrat National Committee paid for this and a Democrat law firm — who has as a member a guy by the name of Bob Bauer, who has been in bed with the Clinton administration, the Obama administration.

James Mattis, Rex Tillerson to Congress: Don't restrict Trump military powers - Washington Times:

"The White House is pushing back against congressional efforts to further define, and in some cases curtail, how Washington carries out combat operations against terror groups such as Islamic State, the Taliban and al Qaeda.
Defense Secretary James Mattis and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson took a hard line Monday, urged Congress not to implement further restrictions on how the White House deploys forces and executes operations in support of the overall U.S. counterterrorism mission."

CNN's Undisclosed Ties To Fusion GPS | The Daily Caller

CNN's Undisclosed Ties To Fusion GPS | The Daily Caller:

"CNN’s reporting on the dossier, led by justice correspondent Evan Perez, has been favorable to the firm, Fusion GPS, and hyped the dossier’s credibility. Left out of Perez’s reporting, which has relied largely on unnamed sources, is his personal closeness to Fusion GPS’ operatives. Fusion has repeatedly been described in Senate testimonies as a smear-for-hire operation that manufactures misleading or false media narratives for its clients."

Did Clinton Use Fusion GPS to Set Up Trump Meeting with Veselnitskaya?

Did Clinton Use Fusion GPS to Set Up Trump Meeting with Veselnitskaya?:

"This week's bombshell — that the DNC and the Hillary Clinton campaign financed former British spy Christopher Steele's salacious dossier allegedly connecting Donald Trump and Russia — may suggest something even more devious. The dossier was compiled by the notorious firm Fusion GPS, which also worked for Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, the very woman who met with Donald Trump Jr. in a meeting deemed pivotal to the case for Trump-Russia "collusion."

The Fusion GPS connection raises a supremely interesting question: Did the Clinton campaign actually orchestrate the meeting between Trump campaign officials and Veselnitskaya? Is the entire Trump-Russia collusion narrative the result of a Clinton set-up?"

Why Don't Media Treat Islamist Terror Attacks Like White Supremacist Terror Attacks? | Daily Wire

Why Don't Media Treat Islamist Terror Attacks Like White Supremacist Terror Attacks? | Daily Wire:

"The answer lies in a serious problem of bias. The media believe that Americans, by and large, are racist Islamophobes. They are the problem. They’re the problem if perpetrators are Muslim, in which case the backlash from non-Muslim Americans must be pre-emptively curbed; they’re the problem if the perpetrators are white supremacists, in which case Americans must answer for their supposed connections to white supremacism.

That’s nonsense. If we’re going to start attributing terrorist ideologies to broader movements, we’re going to have to abide by that rule across the board; if, by contrast, we’re going to distinguish terrorist ideologies from other ideologies, let’s do that across the board."
