The Conservative Cave

It's incredibly demoralizing to law-abiding, rule-following, normal Americans to watch Democrats publicly commit crimes without ever getting in trouble for it.

I’m not talking about the indictments and prosecutions of high-level Democrats on charges that may or may not hold up in court — the Jim Comeys and Letitia Jameses. These prosecutions may or may not be at least partly politically motivated, but Democrats will always think that's all they were. And the refined legal arguments for conviction stand little chance of success in leftist jurisdictions like Washington and New York.

I’m talking about Democrat politicians who knowingly flout the law, brazenly and openly, on video for all to see. These people are undeniably committing serious, felony-level crimes which all Americans can see with their own eyes
...
Let's start with Tennessee State Rep. Justin Pearson. Yesterday, when the House voted to redistrict itself (potentially taking the state from 9-1 Republican to Democrat representation in the U.S. House to 10-0), Pearson threw quite the fit. Action News 5 sets the scene:

Quote

Cameras in the Tennessee Capitol captured a tense moment between State Representative Justin J. Pearson (D-Memphis) and state troopers who were detaining his brother Thursday, moments after GOP lawmakers passed a new congressional map that split the brothers’ city into three districts.
...
“Get the f*** back!” Justin is heard shouting at officers as he and his brother, KeShaun Pearson, were being escorted out of the House chambers.

The Memphis lawmaker could be heard raising his voice at one particular trooper as the crowd moved outside. “Boy! The f*** is wrong with you?! The f*** is wrong with you?! Stupid m***********...”

In fact, Pearson could be seen and heard doing more than just "raising his voice." Watch this video of the state rep committing multiple felony-level crimes against Tennessee state troopers (explicit language warning):

I count Pearson committing at least three serious crimes: interfering, assault on an officer, and obstruction. And what the heck — throw in disturbing the peace for the foul mouth on that guy. What an a**.
...
On the national level, we have Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), who recently admitted — again, on video, for everyone to see and hear — that she is literally working with America's enemies to undermine the duly elected administration's foreign policy:
...

Quote

And not only is she colluding with other countries at the risk of U.S. national security, but she's also potentially breaking a federal law. The 1799 Logan Act is rarely mentioned these days and has only been used in prosecution twice, unsuccessfully, but it generally "makes it illegal for U.S. citizens [no matter who they are] to engage in unauthorized diplomacy with foreign countries with intent to 'influence the measures or conduct' of a foreign government or to “'defeat the measures of the United States...'"
[…]
That said, while the law technically applies to all citizens, State Department precedent has long held that it generally does not apply to members of Congress when they are engaged in oversight or legislative fact-finding. Even so, I'd say Jayapal crossed from legitimate congressional oversight into unauthorized shadow diplomacy by actively working with foreign ambassadors to undermine and circumvent current U.S. sanctions and executive policy.

We need to learn, we don't win by predicting; we win by working.
