Even Trump alludes to documents we might see and it’s driving me crazy that it never comes to pass.
I think that is exactly true.
Burrr is from NC, not SC.
“Not a single one of them will do any time for this. They all just “retire” and write books...”
That is true. Political crimes are not typically dealt with by sending the perps to jail, or the gallows. If you don’t believe me, look Watergate, the poster child of political crimes.
Whatever you might say about Watergate, you must admit it was a slam dunk win for the Left - and is still considered the most consequential political scandal in modern history.
Yet, Nixon - supposedly at the center of it all - was not hanged or sent to prison - they let him resign and no one laid a hand on him. He wrote his memoirs, established the Nixon library, and when he died, they honored him with a state funeral with full pomp and circumstance.
Some lower level people went to jail for various technical violations, some were quickly pardoned. Nobody got convicted of treason. And remember this was a slam dunk where the prosecution held all the cards - the deep state, the MSM, the RINOs in the legislature and the judicial branch - all were aligned against Nixon as they are against Trump.
But even if Nixon was spared any legal consequences, no one can say Watergate was inconsequential politically. The entire half century since is commonly referred to as The Post Watergate Era. That is how consequential it was. The legacy of Watergate has hobbled Rebublicans ever since - they have constantly had to distance themselves from it - apologizing, avoiding confrontations for fear of being shamed with the Watergate stigma - ironically forced to concede the the moral high ground to the most corrupt party of all time - the Democrats! All because of Watergate.
So even without public hangings and corporeal punishment, which Americans do not seem to support for political crimes, there can be serious and long lasting political consequences.
I think this is what Trump is after. I think he is looking for a way to have this conspiracy against him come to light in such a way that the American people get to see the Democrat Party and their MSM whores as the scum that they are.
By the time the POTUS gets done engineering this scandal, the Democrat name will be dirt. The MSM will be a laughing stock. The George Soros types will have no one left in government to bribe and the Clinton types will have no one left to blackmail or threaten.
Maybe nobody will go to jail or get hanged, but I’m OK with that since I never expected it anyway.
I agree with you! OMG I am pulling my hair out! NOTHING EVER HAPPENS! Pardon my screaming but DAMN!!!!!
and since it was liberals, then it is "justifiable" under their Cloward-Piven doctrine
so nothing will come of this and the attacks on the elected POTUS will continue
....that is, unless you are a Dinesh Desouza or Martha Stewart type "perpetrator"
It’s not Gowdy’s job as a Congressman to “get results”. I’m weary to death when this topic continuously comes up. His job is to investigate, question, pass laws, and oversight. Trump can thank the heavens for Gowdy the “get results” guy you speak about. It was Gowdy and his Benghazi committee that uncovered Hillary’s secret server which gave Trump an ENORMOUS hammer in which to bash Hillary on all throughout the election. This point was key in getting Trump elected.
Beyond that more than enough evidence was discovered and uncovered during his investigation that a junior prosecutor straight from college would have gotten indictments. He took his case nightly before the cameras to wake up a sleeping, ignorant public in order to apply pressure to the Executive branch to bring charges.
But no, folks around here expected an all Democratic administration including AG to fire up those Grand Juries and take Hillary to task. Get real. But low and behold we now have an AG under this administration that is a republican administration and that evidence that Gowdy uncovered didn’t magically vanish into fairy dust. Now go bark up the right tree....that would be THIS ADMINISTRATION and it’s INEPT DOJ. They seat Grand juries, they indict, they try. That IS NOT Congress’ job
What difference does it make? Nothing will come of it.
yea, this cannot be treated with the thoughts of they really didn’t mean it, they are trying to take over the country, subvert the rule by the people through duly passed law.This deserves life in all cases. or else what, here is a year for plotting and executing a coup?
heads need to roll or ours will once they consolidate power
I’m afraid you’re right.
Time to take both Page and Strzok into protective custody and put them under a “suicide watch” program.
The same for the “Ohrs”. Don’t let them croak themselves. They must testify under oath before both Congress and a Grand Jury.
If they want to kill themselves afterwards, fine. 4 less pieces of traitorous shit to pollute our country, but we have got to get them to talk, even if what they say is pure BS. The emails will do the talking for them despite the INSANE comments some of the leftists talk show guests are putting forth as to what plainly stated emails say.
I’d also put Maxine Waters under a quaranteen because she is a clear and present danger to the health of sane Americans.
Put some money on it then.
OK, he’s like Rush Limbaugh, only with an appearance that he can do more than talk. :-)
I agree put it out there. We’re tired of hearing about the reality while it has been kept hidden behind a classified veil.The President needs to declassifiy it.
Whistle blower protection is exactly what is needed for government. Otherwise it is impossible to purge the swamp. Only insiders know what is really going on.
Only whistle blowers could tell us why the FBI in Florida failed to do their job and investigate school shooter Cruzs previous and reported threats against schools.
That was never investigated and reported by the media. I’ve heard others say that insiders wanted another mass shooting so they could use the sacrifice of others to take away the 2nd Amendment. I don’t buy into the we need to classify everything to protect us, while the swamp imports potential terrorists.
It’s not that we don’t care ( I am in the group of being 60). We and our President are fighting against many powerful fronts.
Our own party
DOJ-Sessions recusal; leaving Rosenstein and buddies to hide, stall any and all evidence against Obama and Hillary, FBI and DOJ
Judges stalling, siding with the deep state, over turning President’s decisions, orders
Millions of folks in dem/radical pacs, protestors, pacs working to bring down President
Media
Colleges with their radical professors and students who organize and protest
Dem Rich Moguls flooding millions to bring down Trump; placing ads to get their radical people in political positions
Left Rich business (Google, Facebook, Twitter) influence, censoring conservatives
SWIPE/PayPal refusing to process payments for Conservative groups, gun owners
NY bar refusing to give a good score for SC nominee Kavanaugh
GoFundMe to give money to our opponents if they don’t vote for SC nominee
Congressional investigations that are all talk and go no where
Tecchies who are 99% dems
So what are we doing? I wish we had another great Tea Party mass gathering like under Glenn Beck. How would we even get the message out about gathering with Google, Facebook and Twitter censuring and banning conservatives?
Where are all the rich Republicans to help us and the President? They are supporting bringing in immigrants, that is their priority.
The President still has Obama people working at WH, DOJ,FBI, CIA and even folks who are in our own party working against our President.
