Translating a World on the Edge

How does corruption SMELL? Rotten to the core.

Have you ever smelled something rotting in your own house? Don’t you search all over to find out what it is so that you can get rid of it? Perhaps you have discovered a rotting piece of fruit among others in a bowl: Surely you will discard that piece because, left on its own, it will contaminate all the other fruit and SMELL up your entire house.

Yesterday’s televised testimony of Peter Strzok reaked of rottenness! Strzok is a United States Federal Bureau of Investigation agent, and the Chief of the Counterespionage Section leading the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email server. An agent who admits to ‘despising’ the elected president of the United States.

As an FBI agent, Strzok has sworn this oath:
I, Peter Strzok, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

In fact, it was apparent to me that Strzok and other top people in the FBI are betraying their oath to the Constitution by covertly threatening the elected president of the United States.

The investigation is not over. Lisa Page, the married FBI lawyer who exchanged 10,000 extremely biased texts with her anti-Trump agent lover, Strzok, should testify today.

Here are a few things among many I learned from watching Strzok’s Thursday testimony:

…Strzok, who was a key player in Mueller’s Russia probe, helped clear Hillary Clinton. As a part of former FBI Director James Comey’s Hillary Clinton email probe, Strzok changed the wording in Comey’s assessment from ‘grossly negligent to ‘extremely careless,’ which kept her from prosecution.

…Strzok was also involved in questioning Michael Flynn before he was prosecuted for lying to the Bureau.

…Strzok has been dismissed from Robert Mueller’s Russia probe and relocated within the FBI over the summer. Page, a lawyer, was also involved in Mueller’s investigation but left the probe before the messages were discovered.

The SMELL of Corruption in the FBI is more than rotten. It is just plain sad.

The FBI comes under our Department of Justice. Thomas Jefferson wrote, The most sacred of the duties of government is to do equal and impartial justice to all its citizens.

My questions are: Is this sacred duty still the guiding principle for the women and men of the U.S. Department of Justice? Can we trust them? Or are they presently betraying the American people?
