Steve Bannon was imprisoned for contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena. Will Bill and Hillary Clinton be imprisoned for the same offense? Not a chance. Why the inconsistency? If the law only applies to certain people, and if the law is applied selectively based on whether you have connections or are a member of the Party — then do we even have a law?

We have hundreds, if not thousands, of examples of this kind.

The theme is always the same: If you are a leftist, a Democrat, a RINO, or otherwise have the right connections, there is no law. The laws apply only to the little people, the people without connections and whether they are guilty, or not. Our government, even with a commendable President (for the moment), has lost all legitimacy. We are truly on our own. It’s not an opinion; it’s a fact. It’s not going to end well.

Case in point: U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin on Thursday said she won’t sit for an interview requested as part of an inquiry by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice over a video she taped with five other Democrats urging U.S. troops to resist “illegal orders” from the Trump administration.

Does this mean the next time a Democrat Congress orders someone to testify or the next time a Democrat President demands an arrest that nobody has to comply? Because if leftists get to obey laws selectively, so do the rest of us. After all, we are now in a civil war.
