Summary

A crisis of hypocrisy has gripped Washington, laying bare a disturbing pattern of selective prosecution. Michael Steele discusses recent high-profile mortgage fraud allegations and explores the broader, dangerous implications. He dissects the actions of the President and his Justice Department against key figures like Tish James, exposing the irony of their zealous focus amid serious, unaddressed issues within their own sphere. This is an essential view for understanding how political defiance is being managed—or mismanaged—at the highest levels of power.
