Last month during a Coldplay concert, a “Kiss Cam” landed on a couple who tried (but failed miserably) to duck out of the spotlight. Within hours, the clip went viral. Why? Because internet sleuths went to work and found out the couple in the frame were married to OTHER people.
Once AI software company Astronomer confirmed that its CEO and its Chief People Officer were the couple in the video, both of them “did the right thing” and resigned their positions out of embarrassment before that weekend was over. Americans cheered from coast to coast because people caught doing something wrong and immoral are SUPPOSED to suffer consequences. Justice was served and, more importantly, it was served QUICKLY.
During that same week, President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard started declassifying documents revealing what many of us suspected all along…that Deep State Demonrats plotted to undermine Trump’s first administration by creating the false narrative that Russia “hacked” our election to make sure that Hillary Clinton would lose. What was truly surprising was: 1) that these documents still existed, and 2) that these efforts were led by none other than President Obama himself.
However, despite the overwhelming evidence Gabbard uncovered and U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi ordering a grand jury investigation into those findings, we have not seen ANY perp walks or orange jumpsuits yet. This will NOT sit well with the American public who gave President Trump another chance to “drain the swamp” and who saw justice served in the “Kiss Cam” incident. Why not?
Because what Adam Smith said in his 1759 book, “The Theory of Moral Sentiments” is absolutely TRUE: “Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.”
While Smith discussed the importance of balancing compassion with justice to protect the innocent from harm, he also knew that if the guilty are NOT held accountable for their actions, the burden and harm shifts to the innocent. According to Smith, true justice requires FIRM punishment for the guilty to ensure the safety and rights of the innocent are preserved. It is the principal idea on which the American judicial system is based.
The time has come for the Attorney General to do her job.
At a press conference earlier this week, President Trump announced that Bondi is the one “at the plate.” Tulsi has given Pam a hanging curve ball; if she fails to knock THIS one out of the park (as she failed to do with the Epstein files), then we need to raise our collective voices once again and say, “No, Mrs. Bondi, we expect you to RESIGN!”
Restoring our republic,
Mark R. Mnich, CTRA President
