> We just have to figure out a way to make that happen.

How about State AGs filing charges against federal actors for violating the rights of a state’s citizens?

If the feds came to the state under color of law, to unlawfully detain a citizen of that state, the state can file charges for violations of the state’s law by the fed agents and those that gave them orders.

What am I missing?

“What made the South African TRC work was the proffered grant of amnesty to those willing to tell the truth about crimes committed under the color of law.”

Impossible for this to work unless coupled with a very plausible threat of prosecution if you do NOT cooperate.

And this can also only work when one side is soundly defeated. It will not work while the struggle is ongoing. They happened in South Africa AFTER the apartheid government fell.

We need to gain firm control of Congress and then pass legislation removing the DC District of the Federal Courts.
Trials of national significance should be assigned at random. A trial of a DC political figure like Comey, or any of the FBI Russia hoaxers etc should be just as likely assigned to Lubbock Texas as it is to New York City.

I like it. The important thing here is to get these bad actors into a court room as defendants. At this point I don't care how it's done.

Everyone involved in persecuting these people need to themselves become defendants in criminal trials.

Outstanding.

I would prefer televised military tribunals for treason followed by public execution, but I guess I’m old fashioned.

Nothing prevents the Trump administration from bringing the trials to a red state federal court. The only issue is optics and regardless, the press will lie so it is pointless to worry about optics

“The young women, in particular, impressed me with the range and ardor of their profanity.”

If you look at a White House Staff picture, you’ll see these same ones and better understand why we’re careening into World War 3 against Putin (who they hate just as much as Trump).
