“I saw “baited breath” in a story the other day.”

I could sight other examples, but it’s a mute point.

If not the Democrat-communists will do this again.

FR has a real opportunity to provide a mechanism for leading the way towards discussing & debating a foundation for what happens next.

For one, and perhaps this is the most important point, is that what occurred really has nothing to do with Trump. If one were to read the death sentences for either Charles II (English civil war) or Louis XVII (French revolution), their respective crimes of treason were that they were committed against the state.

Sure, there were leading figures, such as Cromwell and Danton, who personalize and put faces to the attempted coups conducted by the former monarchs, but in reality, they are simply representatives of the true sovereign - the People.

Same is true of Trump. He many have been the particular directed personal target of the coup, but the true war actions undertaken by the traitor Hussein et al were taken against the entire sovereign aka We The People. As such, Trump in his duly legally authorized role of upholder of the constitution, is responsible for conducting the response to this war effort in a means satisfactory to the peace of the country.

Trump cannot opt out even if he would like. People should think about and savor what that means. The matter of conducting the war is not Trump's choice - he is obligated to uphold his oath to defend the country against both foreign and domestic enemies.

Absolutely.

There are plenty of Trees and Lampposts in DC.

No need to spend Taxpayer Money on Gallows.

That being said, the old saying “hope for the best but expect the worst” will have to do for the time being.

I have no illusions that Justice will be served based on the Historical Record, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

I am decidedly not in favor of heads rolling. It’s messy and unsanitary, and the revolutionary French didn’t do it. They put baskets under the guillotine to catch the heads in a civilized fashion, and anyway, how else could the executioner hold Hillary’s medusa-like noggin up to show the crowd when he needs to? He’d have to go chasing it down the street, still screeching “I should be 50 points ahead!”

They should swing, no doubt about it.

Rosenstein was Trump’s worst appointment

........................................

Not necessarily. I thought so too at first, but now think how much good the Mueller probe that he started is going to do for Trump and his supporters:

1) Is there anything else that could have backfired so well and hopefully lead to the unraveling of the Deep State? We’ve never had such a great opportunity to do that!

2) Trump’s approval is rising, GOP midterm prospects are rising, and I’m sure the David vs Goliath narrative of Trump vs The Deep State is a big part of the reason for that.

In those days plotters, conspirators, traitors etc would be broken on the wheel for their efforts. Now, they go on book tours and make millions.

"...meeting out Justice"

I'm pretty sure that should read, 'meting'.

“The hell with that..bring out the Bradleys, SAWS, Ma Deuces etc.”

I’m a kind & gentle person. I’d probably start with rubber bullets, fire hoses, sonic cannons and German Shepards. Then move on to the fun stuff...

oh I want to believe. I want to believe. But, after almost two years of this non-stop media Hell, I rather doubt that any justice will be served. Just saying...

Wake me up when Louis Learner gets arrested.

Heads will roll?

I doubt it. No Democrat heads, anyway.

Even if a Democrat gets indicted, getting 12 guilty votes from a Washington, D.C. jury will be impossible.

And if Republicans lose the House in November, the entire investigation will stop, except for Judicial Watch and Fox Cable News.

Re: “How about the Huber indictments?”

I have not read about any sealed indictments from U.S. Attorney John Huber.

Do you have a link? Thanks.

In any event...

(1) Huber was originally appointed by Obama.

(2) When Trump re-appointed Huber, not one Democrat in the Senate voted against Huber.

(3) Huber was appointed as a special investigator for Hillary Clinton issues and FBI misconduct by - wait for it - Jeff Sessions!
