Comey may very well have received similar assurances to keep his own job as Quid Pro Quo is a fact of life for the Clintons. Just today, it was revealed that Patrick Kennedy, of the State Department, had made an offer on behalf of Clinton to give cushy positions overseas to agents on the condition that they would agree to strip the classified status from emails sent from Clinton’s servers in order to make it appear as if she hadn’t sent classified information unsecure over the internet.

The information we have is as follows: “[Redacted] indicated he had been contacted by PATRICK KENNEDY, Undersecretary of State, who had asked his assistance in altering the email’s classification in exchange for a ‘quid pro quo,’” the 302 states. “[Redacted] advised that in exchange for marking the email unclassified, STATE would reciprocate by allowing the FBI to place more Agents in countries where they are presently forbidden.” It should be noted that in this case the [Redacted] part is a place holder for the name of the FBI agent.

As far as we know, the FBI agents turned them down. This is a good indication that there are still patriotic agents working in the interest of the nation present within the FBI. I’m certain they would find it disheartening to hear that people even have to be convinced that they even exist because of the way their superior, Comey, has sullied their reputation even going so far as to deflect criticism by saying something along the lines of , “If I screwed up then so did my agents. We can’t all be wrong can we?”

The emails and transcripts compiled by WikiLeaks has made it easier than ever to look into the personal emails of Democratic party insiders in order to tell the difference between what they believe privately and what they say publically which are more often than not direct contradictions. Every single citizen living in a Western country should peruse WikiLeaks’ compilations in order to get a grasp on how the system works in practice behind the curtain. Knowing how career politicians use their positions of power to divert money towards themselves at our expense is the first step in keeping them honest; it doesn’t end there though.

The strength, and firm hand, of the United States is what makes the current international system possible. The US provides the security necessary for free trade, freedom of movement, and this makes a basic assurance of peace possible. This is essentially a contract with the world forged during the Bretton Woods Conference held when victory in Europe was accomplished in World War II. There are now over 800 US military installations placed through the globe, large and small, that are strategically placed in order to allow for rapid reaction to crises often within the same day they occur. Aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, and other ships patrol the waters of the entire world. No other nation in world history has had such capabilities nor has there been a single government with such responsibility. It is absolutely imperative that the US government maintain the kind of security it provides for nearly every man, woman, and child on Earth by first making sure the flagship nation remains a beacon of freedom, liberty, and prosperity.

Maintaining this level of infrastructure worldwide requires loyal, patriotic, and dedicated leaders. It is now clear that this compact is fracturing because some of our leaders are being paid by foreign actors to act against the interest of the United States for personal enrichment. More than anything, this election is a referendum on corruption bordering on treason. There is a rot within the political establishment that must be treated before it transitively affects our foreign policy more than it already has. For a few hundred thousand dollars, you too could own shares in Hillary Clinton's soul. If you can't afford it then you probably don't want to support her as a candidate for president. If you can't afford the current share price, you will not be represented at all. If the United States is now Third Century Rome, we require the ghost of Diocletian to inhabit the body of a leader willing to dedicate themselves to the nation instead of the highest bidder.
