This is to be created as a blog to post my in and out of class writings for government class. I, like many, have become very interested in politics throughout the most recent election cycle. I feel as though I have a genuine interest in writing on matters concerning these areas.

Blog Stage 7: Original commentary
It appears as though the U.S. government has reached peak incompetence, in regard to the ethics infractions on the part of members of Trumps transition team. After taking a brief hiatus, Michael Flynn appears to be back in the news with now a handful of republican members openly coming out and condemning him and his actions. Although the Russian-interference-investigation is still under way, it is becoming clearer with each passing day that Michael Flynn committed treason- and likely did so in retaliation for his dismissal from the Obama administration. I, like many of my fellow Americans, want Flynn to get a penalty equal to that of anyone else in such a position. It is a crime that is punishable by fines, prison, and or the death penalty. The latter of which, although controversial, may be fitting for an individual such as Flynn- who betrayed the trust and safety of the American people, in such a reckless and careless way. If any other American committed the Crimes that Michael Flynn had, they would already be sitting on death row. There is a double standard that exists in our penal system where politicians seem to evade law and not face any consequences for their actions.

I agree with you. Many politicians are getting away with a slap on their hand and not being held accountable for their actions. Another example ans I'm sure we are tired of hearing about it is Hillary Clinton but same thing. I dislike that who you know and how much money you have can get someone a pass/ I understand that they are humans and they mistakes but not facing consequences for their actions is where you start losing the people's support.
