U.S. Was Closer To Coup D’Etat Than Ever Before
New York Sun ^ | March 25, 2019 | Conrad Black

Posted on 03/26/2019 5:48:58 AM PDT by billorites

No reader of my previous comments on the subject would expect surprise from me about the verdict of the Mueller report. No one nominated by a major political party to the presidency of the United States would have dreamed of cooperating with any foreign power to influence a U.S. presidential election.

edit

With a pause to avoid illegal indiscretions, the attorney general has promised to comply with the wishes of Congress and the President to make the report public. Allegations of spuriously invoked secrecy won’t fly. Collusion and obstruction are dead, bad, pigeons.

The president and his family have endured merciless torment by the intellectually corrupt national press and the lawless opposition. His restraint at the end of the story has shown more taste than his enemies would have thought him capable of; he is owed an apology. All those who said there was clear evidence of Trump–Russian collusion, including dozens of congressional Democrats and scores of prominent political-press figures, should be shamed and ashamed.

And the ringleaders in confecting this monstrous aggregation of defamatory lies should be legally punished, with the due process they tried to deny the nation’s leader. Attempts to drive a president from office on the basis of allegations of betrayal of the country that they knew to be false is as close as the United States has ever been to an attempted coup d’état. It is time for the legal system, which has ground slowly to a just verdict, to do the same to those responsible for this disgraceful episode. This must never happen again; not in America.

He (WE) is owed more that that!

Heads on platters.

Came here to post that. Also, the FBI and the Washington Post colluded to bring down Nixon.

Next step is FBI guy w gun. Are FBI agents routinely disarmed at the White House or are they considered part f one big happy family?

Lessay no one goes to prison:

Why wouldn’t this simply CONTINUE to happen, again and again...?

ANY man apart from Trump would have folded to this years-long attack.

If no one goes to jail —and I’m talking about dozens of people— then when it happens next time, WE ARE ZAMBIA.

It most certainly was attempted.

...and all honest people acknowledged it.

We knew this all along.

We also knew all along that Obama was not born in Hawaii.

Comey knew from the very beginning that what Obama/Lynch was asking him to do was inherently wrong and violated the oath he took to uphold the law. No doubt he was conflicted, as evidenced by that tortured statement about Hillary. Yet in the end he agreed to violate the law, compromise whatever principles he once held and implemented the dastardly plot. He subverted and betrayed the FBI. Brennan is and was a deranged sociopath from the start. Clapper was a not terribly bright “team player”, went along and did his part. All should have been arrested Day 1 of the Trump Administration if not for the compromise and incompetence of sessions. IMHO, Comey is suicidal.

The only way to get these people locked up is for Trump to openly start explaining how easy a 2020 victory will be now that he gets to use the intelligence services to spy on Democrat candidates.

Great article. The only thing I wish Mr. Black would have mentioned regarding Rosie is how he discussed wearing a wire. Rosie is not an innocent here. AT ALL! But yes, it was genius how Rosie was “forced” to stay in his job a little longer than he wanted to (as explained by others).

That would be an amusing strategy — Trump people could go on Sunday talk shows and just matter-of-factly discuss their plans to use the IRS, DOJ, FBI, and CIA to torpedo any and all Democrat campaigns in 2020.

If journalists are outraged, we can ask, “Is that wrong? Would that be a crime? Could I be prosecuted for that?”

Then roll out all of the indictments of several hundred top Democrats. Because, apparently, what they did was illegal. Who knew?

I haven't figured out what crime they could be charged with and Black doesn't offer any suggestions.

No. Federal prison is too civilized and cushy. I don’t want to feed that diseased murderess/traitor for one day. NOOSES, on the White House grounds. Several, with name tags. Hang them now, fill them ASAP. Hang’em high.
