Arguably the most corrupt and abusive administration in recent history is now declaring war on American corporations and their executives in a scheme to separate private-sector entities from their money and incarcerate top businessmen such as Donald Trump. In an announcement on Thursday, a Department of Justice official said her agency will emphasize the prosecution of top corporate executive
Real estate mogul Donald Trump announces his bid for the presidency in the 2016 presidential race during an event at the Trump Tower on the Fifth Avenue in New York City on June 16, 2015. Trump, one of America’s most flamboyant and outspoken billionaires, threw his hat into the race Tuesday for the White House, promising to make America great again. The 69-year-old long-shot candidate ridiculed the country’s current crop of politicians and vowed to take on the growing might of China in a speech launching his run for the presidency in 2016. “I am officially running for president of the United States and we are going to make our country great again,” he said from a podium bedecked in US flags at Trump Tower on New York’s Fifth Avenue. The tycoon strode onto the stage after sailing down an escalator to the strains of “Rockin’ In The Free World” by Canadian singer Neil Young after being introduced by daughter Ivanka. His announcement follows years of speculation that the man known to millions as the bouffant-haired host of American reality TV game show “The Apprentice” would one day enter politics. Trump identifies himself as a Republican, and has supported Republican candidates in the past. But in his announcement speech he did not explicitly say if he was running for the party’s nomination or as an independent.AFP PHOTO/ KENA BETANCUR (Photo credit should read KENA BETANCUR/AFP/Getty Images)

While the new policy doesn’t mention by name the quintessential business tycoon Donald Trump, the leading GOP candidate for his party’s presidential nomination, a reading of the new DOJ policy on so-called white-collar crime — and DOJ action to be taken against those likely to commit such crimes — appears to identify the political phenomenon known as The Donald. A fact that hasn’t escaped the Democratic Party and their water-carrying sycophants in the news media is that Trump is the only successful businessman seeking the presidency and his business interests are vast.
Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, who authored a memo outlining the rules for federal prosecutors, announced the updated guidelines during her guest lecture at New York University Law School on Thursday. She noted that President Barack Obama authorized the Justice Department’s new guidelines that will now prioritize the prosecution of individual corporate executives for offenses involving white-collar crime.
Sadly, not one journalist asked Ms. Yates how the American people can trust the DOJ when there is evidence that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) — especially Lois Lerner — colluded with the DOJ to pursue non-profit organizations that were decidedly right-of-center especially those calling themselves Tea Party.
