“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do
nothing.” Edmund Burke

What sets J. Christian Adams apart from the Peter Strzoks is that Adams IS the good man who does the something that aims to stop evil from prevailing.
He risked his livelihood and the very security of his family. He made the most powerful statement most individuals can make.
He gave up his career rather than be a party to what he knew was an “evil” perpetrated by his agency’s leadership upon the American people.
“But can’t Peter Strdzok and his paramour Lisa Page make the same righteous claim?”, one might ask. Their communications exchanges suggest that they saw “evil” in the behavior, motivation, and actions of President-elect/President Trump.
It’s a fair question…particularly if all your information is derived from PBS or the ‘Mainstream Media”.
The couple took a risk…one more calculated, perhaps, than Mr. Adams. They believed with good reason that their actions would likely never be exposed. They were aligning themselves with the awesome power of both the previous presidential administration and what they were fairly confident was to be the next administration. They enjoyed the full protection of compliant media.
But, frankly, we do believe that there are still more good Americans, devoted to serving and protecting the American people, and living up to there solemn oaths to honor the Constitution, than there are Strzoks and Pages.
But also, it is a brutal truth that those good people, present and former, members of those agencies surely knew just what the Obama, Holder, Lynch, Comey gang were doing and consciously chose to do far too little to “stop their evil from prevailing”.
Those hard working, highly professional, superbly trained agents surely knew that dark motivations lay behind the actions they were ordered to take. If they were not aware at the time, their skills and training, and agency contacts would have soon alerted them after the fact. Like any large nationwide organization, agents and support personnel throughout the various offices and locations of the FBI also surely knew. The agents in the Butte MO. field office are almost certain to have colleagues with whom they’ve served in other places in their careers and continue to stay in contact with to exchange gossip, rumors, and factual information internal within their agency.
What was going on in an EricHolder/Loretta Lynch DOJ and the James Comey FBI was certainly widely known by the good men and women of those entities. But it would seem that, while few were Strzoks or Pages, fewer still were J. Christian Adamses.
It is a harsh judgement and it is made with full realization that the question, answerable only when you are the one directly confronted with it, can be most fairly asked: “What would we have done?” DLH
