Why NOTHING Will Come Of Any Of The Obama Administration Scandals...
...and you fucking know it!

Here's why:

The Reagan Administration was selling weapons to Iraq to fight Iran, while selling weapons (via Israel) to Iran to fight Iraq and using those funds to help the Contras overthrow the Sandinista government in Nicaragua, while also assisting the Contras in selling massive amounts of cocaine in major US cities to further supplement the insurrection.

No one was ever held responsible.

-

Bill Clinton got a blowie, lied about it, and created a media circus for a little more than a year.

He was impeached but acquitted.

-

The Bush administration LIED us into a costly and unjustifiable war resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of injuries, and trillions in debt.

Not a single person was ever tried, convicted, or sentenced.



Are you getting this yet??? The "revelations" are all just to pacify peoples' sense of due "justice". As long as opponents feel like the crimes of the administration are being revealed that is generally enough to satiate their thirst for punitive action and the relevant "authorities" will never have to go forward with prosecuting or punishing anyone.

This is pretty much how all sensitive and/or criminal scandals are handled:

Step 1: attempt to cover it up, keep it quiet. If that doesn't work then move to Step 2: thump your chest, make idle threats and/or lie your ass off and wait for the brouhaha to die down. Finally, if that still hasn't worked, move on to Step 3: hold dummy trials that result in zero convictions or presidential pardons.

It's all a show, it's all a stage and we fall for it every time.

Sadly, and with utter disgust, I must agree with you.

Until we start hanging these criminals, it will be business and corruption as usual. Americans will go back to watching America Idol and be happy they are in continuous slavery to debt.

Fact is... most Americans are totally fucking clueless this even happening... especially Obama cultists.

Spot on, OP. They're pretty much untouchable and will continue to be so until the people decide to do something about it...which I don't see happening any time soon.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 31845560


OP is RIGHT

North was tried in 1988. He was indicted on sixteen felony counts, and, on May 4, 1989, he was initially convicted of three: accepting an illegal gratuity; aiding and abetting in the obstruction of a congressional inquiry; and ordering the destruction of documents via his secretary, Fawn Hall. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gerhard A. Gesell on July 5, 1989, to a three-year suspended prison term, two years' probation, $150,000 in fines, and 1,200 hours community service. Oliver North performed some of his community service within Potomac Gardens, a public housing project in Southeast Washington, DC.[16]


I guess that taught Mr. North a lesson lol.

IF nothing comes of it, that is too bad.

It will be because there is no way in hell anyone (even with more than enough evidence) will do anything that will cause the removal of the first "black" president of the USA.

They have fallen into the trap that was cleverly set for them.

At least there has and will be exposure, at least enough for most to realize just how corrupt this administration is.

There will be some patsies that will take the fall, and perhaps without ever implicating the white house.

You still have a choice America, but very little time to choose a new outcome...

Iran–Contra affair

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

"In the end, fourteen administration officials were indicted, including then-Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger. Eleven convictions resulted, some of which were vacated on appeal.[12] The rest of those indicted or convicted were all pardoned in the final days of the presidency of George H. W. Bush, who had been vice-president at the time of the affair.[13]"

North never served a day of hard time. He was soon acquitted and has enjoyed a very cozy (not to mention profitable) life ever since.

IF anything he was just a fall guy for the higher-ups.
