First, enjoy the following brief clip from a recent White House press briefing:
While it’s refreshing to see the president’s press secretary backhand a reporter who persists in asking “gotcha” questions, there’s a word missing from Miss McEnany’s riposte:
Malfeasance is the term for the abuse of powers of office for wrongful ends. It’s a crime – in this case, a federal crime – that applies to officials whether elected, appointed, or Civil Service. It carries both a fine and a prison sentence.
Malfeasance is what the FBI did to acquire FISA warrants targeting the Trump for President campaign, using the “Steele dossier” as “evidence.”
Malfeasance is what Peter Strzok when he “rewrote” the FBI 302 document about the interview of Michael Flynn.
Malfeasance is what James Clapper, John Brennan, James Comey, and Andrew McCabe did in their several components of the “Russian collusion” hoax.
Malfeasance is also what James Comey did in immunizing various of Hillary Clinton’s aides and staffers after it had been revealed that they had destroyed material evidence related to Clinton’s private email server and her use of it to disclose classified information.
Finally, malfeasance is what Comey did in rewriting, de facto, the National Security Act and the Espionage Act to require proof of deliberate intent for the violation of those laws.
Yes, several persons named above also lied to Congress under oath. That’s perjury. But charges of malfeasance apply to all of them as well.
President Trump is right. They do belong in prison. But the odds are long against any of them landing there.
