If you’ve read the headlines this week, a clear pattern of federal government behavior by elected officials, appointed cronies and career employees has emerged that can be grouped into three categories: Liars, Priers, and Deniers.
First the “Liars”.
I Did Nothing. I Plead the 5th
These are the IRS people who two years ago were saying, “No, no, no” when questioned about their IRS targeting of politically, fiscally, and socially conservative organizations who were attempting to obtain 501(c) 4 tax exemption, only to find out that yes, yes, yes it did happen. Then we had our UN ambassador making the news talk circuit rounds claiming that an attack that killed 4 Americans, including an ambassador, was spontaneous. Then we have high level officials saying the same thing – that they only told what they knew -even after it was obvious that they knew something different than what they were saying (doing that is called “lying”).
Then we have the “Priers”.
Now What Do I DO
These are the DOJ people who signed off on secretly seizing the phone and email records of the Fox News reporter, John Rosen. Then it was leaked that they had been going after the AP. All of this was to determine who was leaking information.
I guess it hasn’t occurred to the Government that because governments can become overly zealous and intrusive, it takes a freely operational press to keep that from happening. But let’s be real here; this president has been fawned over for far too long by far too many so-called journalists. Looking into what he is doing, after all that adulation, had to definitely harsh his mellow.
Finally, there are the “Deniers”.
I Know Nothing
People denying any wrong-doing and then taking the 5th; people denying they were responsible for anything that happened under their watch; and a president who denies knowing anything about what is going on in his administration.
After all the lying and prying, who, besides the completely infatuated and/or purposely ignorant, can possibly believe that the president had no clue? And if he didn’t, is he really fit to run the show?
