US Attorney General Orders Department of Justice to Ignore US Law Again

Pittsburgh Post Gazette: “On Monday, Attorney General Eric Holder, a liberal in a hurry, ordered all U.S. attorneys to simply stop charging nonviolent, non-gang-related drug defendants with crimes that, while fitting the offense, carry mandatory sentences.

FBI Conspires with Informats to Commit 5,638 Crimes in 2011

USA Today: “The FBI gave its informants permission to break the law at least 5,658 times in a single year, according to newly disclosed documents . . . . Agents authorized 15 crimes a day, on average, including everything from buying and selling illegal drugs to bribing government officials and plotting robberies.”

The days when the United States was subject to the rule of law are gone. The federal government breaks the law with impunity and the President, the Department of Justice and Congress does nothing.
