If Republicans Don't Make a Move, They Deserve to Lose

[qxr1011]

Pretty good article. The problem however is that while the republicans nominally control government, in reality they don't. Truth be told, corporate-controlled republicans like Ryan, McConnell and McCain are closer to dems like Schumer than to the Freedom Caucus guys or Heaven forbid, to Trump. Plenty of of Trump populists say their second choice was Sanders. So there are like three republican parties, all somewhat pretending to be one but in fact with diametrically opposing policies. By contrast, the dems have ruthlessly purged all but the extreme far left from their ranks. They have a couple of outliers, like Manchin of WV, but there are rarer than black republicans.

So it's far easier for dems to push extreme policies, particularly since they are only competitive in antifa-occupied territory anyway. They aren't concerned about turning off middle class whites, because they aren't voting for them anyway.

Lois Lerner, IRS official who denied conservatives the same unbiased treatment that was given to liberal groups, who pleaded the 5th under oath, who's laptops and multiple backup systems and tapes were all destroyed before they could be looked at by prosecutors, was just given a get out of jail free card by the current gop doj.

And I just learned another good one in this saga.
Lois Lerner is a lawyer and former president of the Council on Governmental Ethics Laws

Jeff Sessions has a tough job directing an organization that is filled with leftwing democrat activists. The "career professionals", ie Lerner's friends and fellow activists at DOJ, no doubt made it clear that they were not about to prosecute her for doing something they approved of.

Sessions probably feels he has to pick his battles. Of course, all I see is business as usual. Why hasn't the Civil Rights Division filed lawsuits against cities like Berkeley, Sf and Charlottesville that were obviously colluding with anitfa thugs to deny First Amendment rights to demonstrators? Why aren't police departments across the country that have allowed anti-Trump riots being sued and placed under consent decrees? Why haven't we seen any mayors or police chiefs who are actively trying to frustrate immigration law being prosecuted?

Primarily because the Justice Department has broader issues in terms of policy to deal with than what you listed above. For example, it is more important to pursue Justice Department action to override sanctuary city legislation (via withholding federal funds or using court action) than to focus on action against individual towns and mayors that would most likely not be successful and generate negative publicity. In many ways this is what the Justice Department should be doing rather than getting involved in every local situation.
