Something as grave as this matter is, something tells me it won’t go anywhere. That’s how deep the corruption is, stage 4 cancer. Period. Short of a real revolution, not much, if anything will change. At best, some low level operative will be hung out to dry, some people will disappear, some people will mysteriously die or get murdered, and on it will go. But none of the big fish will ever go to jail, or be executed, as they would be deservedly so, if treason could be proved. Remember the 1950’s? They’d be toast.

With a crime against humanity of this size, and the silence of the justice system, one remembers how easily Lee Harvey Oswald was silenced, and can wish Hillary her “Archduke Ferdinand” moment.

I, too, think that there might be no other way of traitorous retribution.

my wife thinks like you, and she tells me that I am delusional to hold out hope for justice. It irritates her whenever I bring up any new developments in the story. She says we should be satisfied that the corruption is being exposed and devote our energy to taking back control of our country.
I cannot let go because I cannot wrap my head around the fact that US is a failed state.

Any president who authorized prosecution of his predecessor would have to reckon on the certainty that the other party would do the same to him the moment the White House changes hands. Even without overt corruption, our laws encompass such vast gray areas that EVERY president necessarily takes actions that opponents immediately howl are unconstitutional and illegal. Such charges are commonplace. But we have always regarded them as political questions and have never expected the Justice Department to act on them retroactively.

Today's Democrats would do this to any Republican president who prosecuted a Democratic predecessor, not matter how compelling the crime. Think they'd make an exception for Trump? This is dangerous stuff. I don't have a good answer.

I’d like to know why we can’t “un-sell” it.
