Liz Cheney: Strzok-Page texts sound ‘like a coup,’ could be ‘treason’
Fox News ^ | May 26, 2019 | Adam Shaw

Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo, said in an interview that aired Sunday that text messages between former FBI investigators Peter Strzok and Lisa Page “sound an awful lot like a coup” and could even be treason.

“I think what is really crucially important to remember here is that you had Strzok and Page who were in charge of launching this investigation and they were saying things like, 'We must stop this president, we need an insurance policy against this president,'” she said on ABC News' “This Week.”

"In my view when you have people that are in the highest echelons of the law enforcement of this nation saying things like that, that sounds an awful lot like a coup -- and it could well be treason and I think we need to know more,” she said.

Their intent was to protect their version of America, not to overthrow America, ...

Their "version" of America was legally rejected by Americans in the November 2017 Presidential Election.

Any activities thereafter promoting sedition, insurrection or coup are Treason.

PGalt @3: "Obviously TREASON. Will the perps pay? Is there justice in America?"

Is there enough rope for all the Demonicrats (and RINOcrats) who need to be tried and convicted, since the traitorous carcasses need to be left to rot off the noose?

Well, if they’re aiding and abetting anyone we’re currently in a cease-fire with, maybe we can nail ‘em for treason, too.

Sorry, but it is no treason because they did not levy war against the US, nor did they provide aid or comfort to enemies we are at war with. Unlike John Walker Lindh, who should be dead.

It is not sedition because in the US that requires the use of force.

It's nice to imagine some hanging from a rope, but that will not happen.

Of course it was a coup d’etat and that is TREASON. Hang ‘em or shoot ‘em. Jail is too soft and expensive a sentence.

Can’t be treason. It’s sedition but not Treason. Basically Treason requires them to be aiding a foreign country that we are at WAR with.

Read the following and you’ll see:

It may well be treason. I predict no one will be convicted of treason however, especially BO. If so charged, defendants will get to plea down.

We are trying to put the country back together, not tear it into more shreds. IF things are handled correctly, govt employees are going to be a LOT more careful about the rules they work under going forward.

Flame suit on...

Yes... Lean on Lisa Page and get all the goods, and then hang that arrogant #$_&.

After the fair trial, of course.

[could be ‘treason’]

I don’t think there’s any ‘could be’ about it.

Try ‘is’ instead.

The wheels of justice turn slowly, but it seems they a beginning to turn again with Barr, after being stuck in the Sessions mud.

With Barr at the Helm, it's more like full speed ahead. Trump's broad delegation of authority to Barr effectively makes him the boss of everyone in the State Department, FBI, DOJ and the DNI.

Republicans, slowly, are starting to act like Democrats in regards to messaging. Dems don't pull punches, they go for the throat every time they open their mouths. Republicans put their pinkies out and speak gently about civility. But Trump never played that game and now, slowly, some GOP members are figuring out that reason and civility are not effective counters to dems who are out there daily saying the President is a treasonous criminal.

What this says to me is that the GOPe has given up hope that Mueller will get Trump, they are dealing with the fact that he's staying where he is and so they are playing along... for now.

Of course, it was a coup attempt........being executed on the taxpayers’ dime.

Those were the heady days, when “Anything Goes”......when Hillary was a shoo-in.

Jim Jordan said some of the things he read showed a frightening “animus” toward Trump.

Was a rub-out in the works? That need to be looked at.

Obama musta been panic-stricken.....there was even talk of stopping Trump’s inauguration.

People in their positions speaking of an “Insurance policy” in case the opponent of your favored candidate wins the election is very suspicious.
