This was the reason I conceived of and founded Judicial Watch 25 years ago, to investigate and then prosecute — yes PROSECUTE! — government and legal corruption and abuse; not just to obtain documents, go on cable news and boast, and then beg our Deep State corrupt government to take action. The fate of the nation cannot be treated like a Hollywood television reality mini-series! We live in very dangerous times, and dangerous times require hard-hitting action, peacefully and legally, to right the ship of state! In the words of Thomas Paine, which I have quoted in these columns from time to times, and as Paine wrote in the days leading up to the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the ensuing revolution:
“The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection. The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.”
