Gaming the Truth Senator Lee: No comment on Attorney General William Barr’s interference in the Stone Case, We’re Good on all that RIGHT?!

We’ve all seen it.  But folks, you can fix this.

When DOJ AG William Barr says he had no conversation with President Trump or the White House regarding his unprecedented (no pun intended) interference in the case against the President’s convicted felon buddy, Roger Stone, we are asked to accept that (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/13/ag-barr-says-trumps-tweets-make-it-impossible-for-me-to-do-my-job.html).  And, it may be true - kinda.  The truth can have many faces when weaved by these smart guys.  And dang it, we’re sadly vulnerable to crafty weaving of the truth by the public servants many of us expect to rise to a higher standard.

Folks, you can fix it.

You see, we can take AG Barr’s claim at face value that he “did not confer with the President,” his boss, “on the matter.”  No need for conspiracy theories here, we know that Mr. Barr is aware of his boss’s position on Roger Stones’ verdict in his felony conviction case – we all know because “he tweets it.”  So, Mr. Barr knows exactly what the President expects of him - even without conversation about the matter.

But, where is Senator Lee on all this?  No peep.  Weird, right?  Why is that?  It’s because Senator Lee is struggling since he took the “Scenic Route” from disdain, to “enlightened” support, for his master (The POTUS).  You see, now Mr. Lee is confronted with a “Catch-22.”  If he supports Mr. Barr’s interference in the Stone case – ya’know, the President’s convicted felon bud - then you again pretty much have the “goods” that Senator Lee will say and do ANYTHING to support his Party and re-election aspirations - including turning a blind eye on, dare I say, misuse of power.  What?!  In America?!  A misuse so egregious that over 1,000 department of justice professionals have called for, by name and in writing, AG Barr’s resignation. https://medium.com/@dojalumni/doj-alumni-statement-on-the-events-surrounding-the-sentencing-of-roger-stone-c2cb75ae4937.  Yup, check it out.  I don’t make this stuff up folks.  Even the prosecution team quit in disgust (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/11/us/politics/roger-stone-federal-prosecutors.html).  

Senator Lee, your silence on the matter is deafening.  What-are-we-to-do?  Folks, you can fix this.

On the other hand, if Mr. Lee  does not take Mr. Barr’s position (and by default his Boss’s position) that it is okay for the Attorney General’s (Mr. Barr’s) organization (Department of Justice) to interfere in the due process of the President’s friend’s case, then how can he morally justify his support for a POTUS that misuses the intent of our laws?  How can Senator Lee continue in good conscience lead the Utah effort to re-elect a president - who he himself empowers to behave outside the law.  Opps.

Folks, you can fix this.

You see when Senator Lee decided to become a sock-puppet, he became a tool for the powers who now own him - and he serves - instead of a champion for America and the American people and a representative who takes his role as gatekeeper of our Constitutional system of checks and balances.  Now, he’s jammed into a corner.  Senator Lee, because you did not even move to censure the President for his abuse of power in rolling the new Ukrainian president or his obstruction of justice in failing to yield to Congressional, “You’re,” subpoenas, you have given the POTUS free rein to trample you, Congress, and the laws that protect the people of the land.  Nice… good job… thank you.

Folks, don’t you deserve better…  A LOT better?  If I am wrong on this please come down to The Mad Moose, kick my butt, and give me a reset (not too hard though please, remember as previously written, I bruise easily). 

And so, the emboldened President will bellow out a laugh at you, Congressional sock-puppets, from his perch at Mar-a-Lago, while simultaneously choking on a fork full of meatball from his spaghetti plate and belching up a clump of pasta onto the bib tucked into his collar, henceforth washing it down with a gulp of Merlot, still choking and coughing, from his wine chalice… opps, I mean grape juice - the POTUS does not drink alcohol.  I guess he is the right man for the job after all – that sly dog! (I say that with tongue-in-cheek love you know).  Man, we’re so naïve, right?!  (I know, sorry, I can’t get the visual out of my head either).

Senator Lee, your silence on the matter is by default silent acquiescence, and an example of leadership that’s not healthy for America.  You have demonstrated the shallows of your conflicted character and propensity for putting your party and re-election fortunes before the people you’re supposed to serve. 

Folks, do you deserve better? 

Utah has a choice in 21 months - in November of 2022.  Utah can decide to “Do-the-right-Thing.”  If you feel like the leadership you’re currently getting from Senator Lee and a sock-puppet Congress is all it can be, then keep voting for them.  If you feel you deserve better and want folks in there that will “Do-the-right-Thing,” and maintain a Constitutionally mandated system of strong, not weak, “Checks and Balances” without the shackles of party agendas and control before America’s interests first, then vote for someone else – COL Mike Seguin (USA, Retd), Utah Bull Moose Party.

Would you rather have a representative that will “Do-The-Right-Thing” for America - First!  A representative who will serve with grinding teeth and clinched fists to assure the integrity to “Do-The-Right-Thing” is the only motivation, as our Congressional leaders are supposed to do.
