NBC News legal analyst Jill Wine-Banks sent out a "tweet" suggesting that "if we can't get Trump directly we could threaten to embroil his children in legal jeopardy." Banks pointed out that "Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller used this tactic to persuade Gen. Flynn to plead guilty to a crime he didn't commit. Maybe it would work the same magic if Trump's sons and daughters were similarly threatened."
Addressing concerns that such a tactic might be construed as extortion, Banks asserted "we are at war to determine who shall rule America. Will it be the obviously unqualified interloper Donald Trump? Or will it be the coalition of Republicans and Democrats who have controlled the government since the 1990s? We must use every possible weapon at our disposal to ensure that the right side wins this war."
In related news, former FBI Director James Comey lauded Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller's handling of the Flynn prosecution. "We we tried to lure Gen. Flynn into a perjury trap while he was Trump's national security adviser and we couldn't do it," Comey admitted. "But Mueller was able to lose the original interview notes where our agents said they didn't think Flynn was lying. Then, by threatening the General's son with prosecution he was able to persuade him to plead guilty to lying to the FBI. It was sheer brilliance."

They keep pushing the envelope and they’re not gonna like what’s in it.
I saw some friends I’ve not seen in a while, we’re all 50 now.
They were pretty damn angry and NOT AT ALL willing to take Trump getting kicked out without a fight.
These are ex firemen and sanitation and cops who are all still in pretty good shape and up for a ruckus.
I’m white collar and the collar has widened through the years!!!
Satire today. Reality tomorrow.
Haha! Too funny! What “integrity”?
Um, sorry. I’m missing the satire. Actually looks like good journalism - certainly more factual than we see from the LSM.
Someone should READ THE RIOT ACT to this “Jill Wine-Banks” that Extortion like that is exactly the tactics sane and just people detest.
Also : If fetid detestable Leftists like her start changing rules and doing such evil behavior, then SHE shouldn’t be surprised when so many more people will see HER as their enemy and decide it is time to ‘change the rules’ and in return do to her what she has already advocated doing to Trump.
There wont be enough lampposts for Angry Americans to hang these disgusting leftists from, and they will have to build more.

I do wonder how long the American People are going to tolerate these disgusting and arrogant lefties.
The NBC bosses who haven’t fired this miscreant will be seen as collaborators in such criminality.
BOYCOTT.
