I have been following Claire Best's writing at Medium.com where she publishes regularly. What people are seeing in this post appears to be the culmination of a scandal she has been unveiling piece by piece over many months. I have had mixed reactions. When I first read her articles my response was "This can't be true." Then as the scandal story deepened, I told myself, "This can't ALL be true." Then after reading this monster of an exposé, I accepted that this must be true. All the supposed gatekeepers are in this story. It is comprised of judges, the politicians who appointed them, attorneys general who became them, rank and file prosecutors, clearly corrupt police, and a statewide news media more interested in the weather than in what its corrupt government is up to. We like to think that this sort of thing cannot happen, but it has happened many times in many places. We would all love to see this exposed but the people who would do the exposing are all in the story. A Purple Heart goes to Claire Best. She is just the sort of whistleblower the corruption in this country needs. Ms. Best is on a par with Miranda Devine, who exposed the Laptop from Hell in spite of many efforts to silence her.
