Letter: White House goal is to dump the Constitution

President Obama has endorsed Hillary Clinton, so I assume their July convention will just be a kabuki show for their media. Obama has owned and operated Clinton for a long time, no reason to expect change there, since their goal is detailed power over every citizen.

I assume the entire federal bureaucracy, including the Treasury, will actively support the Democrat campaign. The IRS still is harassing businesses and other groups, if they are non-simpatico with White House philosophy. The FCC developed a regulation for the Internet, but Obama found it lacking, so the White House arbitrarily ash-canned the FCC submission, and ordered Obama rules. The FBI will complete their investigation of Clinton for email violations and blackmailing foreign powers to get favored treatment, based on receipt of timely “donations” to the Clinton foundation. It will be submitted it to Obama’s Justice Department with recommendations. I expect that will die a silent death in Justice, or the White House will just rewrite it, as in the FCC case.

The last eight years have been a slow-walked coup d’état, to dump the Constitution; that’s still their goal.
