[Vanity] How can one force indictments for treason?

I apologize for the vanity thread. I simply have no clue where to find an answer for this question aside from here.

With the recent news of outright subversion of both our troops and President which multiple members of FR have responded to as being treason, is there any way for a normal citizen to force an indictment / investigation / etc.?

You can do a Google search and find a senator charged with DUI, among other incidents, so it's not as though our senators and representatives enjoy immunity, it's just they're not being pursued in the right manner in response to their latest attempts at destroying the country.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks. And sorry again for the vanity.

A senator subverting our troops? Never! /s

[NormsRevenge]

How better to forestall prosecution for said offenses than to go after and have the person that would need to pursue charges between a rock and a hard place and rendered mute in his job, that person being the Attorney General of the US.

Well, you can do like the goofy left tries to do, wait until one of them shows up some where and try to place them under citizen's arrest.

I love it when they do that...I LMAO every time I see those videos of the nutjobs being drug off by the cops while they're screaming that they are trying to place Rove under arrest

I’ll stand as one witness,think we need two.

[RedWhitetAndBlue]

Good luck with that.

[RedWhitetAndBlue]

I haven’t seen those. Can you post a link?

I am not sure how to pursue charges, but I did find his e-mail page.

Shut it down.

[TheZMan]

Good luck with that.

That's exactly the reason I've posted this thread.

I wonder if a private think thank might be able to press a suit against the traitors?

If not, maybe we could do it symbolically and by creating a “shadow court” and put them on trial on some kind of Internet blog. Hear arguments form both sides and have the members vote. Then award any politician or movie star found guilty a “high crimes and treason” award.

It requires the sworn testimony of two witnesses to an act of treason (ie. working with a foreign nation to overthrow the parent nation). You can read all about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason

Thank you.

Dude, your living a witness to the truth — those who serve the coolaid somehow always end up drinking it.

You can’t criminalize the opposition no matter how perverse their agenda. That’s what it means to live in the land of the free. If that gets your goat, you might want to investigate Zimbabwe’s immigration policies. Me, I’d rather focus on voting them out than wasting time and energy indulging the fantasies of a few Freepers with delusions of power.

You should thank God you live in a country where the political opposition can’t be criminalized. It’s the only solace some of us have if Hillary ends up President. Just say no to two-parts passion and three-parts ignorance. And you better get good at it, because there’s a lot of that going around.

Peace.

I’ve been suggesting whenever I see it for the Hanoi Jane Fonda threads that any freeper could citizen-arrest her under a citizen’s arrest provisions. It would apply to any law that you’ve seen broken by that perrson, so it’s no different for treason. Even if the citizen’s arrest goes nowhere, the publicity would generate much of the same desired effect. It’s a distinct possibility that Jane decided NOT to go on her peace tour due to the posted intentions of some freepers.

So if you feel strongly about it, prepare a statement and call the police and arrest the person, in public, and hand over the person in custody to the local police with your sworn affidavit that you will testify against this person in open court. I don’t know if the police are obligated to arrest under citizen arrest circumstances; I heard differing opinions from police officers on that issue. Most of them said that the other person could turn right around and have you arrested, so be prepared to spend the night in jail for your troubles.

Back when this was a civilized nation they would just have a detail of troops go over to the SOB's house and make an arrest.

The army is going to have to be employed against domestic enemies, just takes the right guy in the WH to make it happen.

You can write your congresscritter, but you'd have better luck spitting in the wind.
