“Why in the name of all that is holy do you think HONEST FAIR JUSTICE is “vengeance”?”

Because “vengeance” is exactly how it would be portrayed by the American propaganda machine. It’s exactly how it would be seen by the roughly half the nation that despises Trump already. It might even unite them. They aren’t united now.

Why take that chance 123 days from an election that might be a massive upset that increases your political power exponentially? Why risk it when you can wait four months, work your ass off to give what will become YOUR party a historic victory, and when you win you will have the freedom and the power to pursue whatever course you think best? He has a chance to do this, it won’t be easy, but there’s a chance he pulls it off. Declassification can occur at any time - if he feels he needs it - or if he sees it as a risky move he can wait till after the election, after he pulls off a historic victory. Lincoln didn’t free the slaves until AFTER Gettysburg, after a major victory...even though he was politically besieged before that victory. That may be the model Trump is looking toward.

You aren’t aware that the last poll (that I’ve seen anyway, and they are all biased as you should know) said that 62% of Americans think “news” is fake news? Less and less influencing people?

You think half the nation despises Trump?

I think you must believe the MSM-13 Fake News. that is your problem.

You also must think Trump forgot how to say the words “You’re Fired”. Sessions is a bumbling idiot and Trump is too stupid to know that and fire him. Trump managed to fire Tillerson, but for some reason he’s too stupid to see that Sessions is not doing the job he’s supposed to do.

I’m not impatient, I think Trump and his team are working behind the scenes and that justice WILL be served at the right time. And the November elections are going to be so bad not just for the Dems but also for the establishment Repukes.

I think you believe the media too much. Why even watch/listen to/read it? It’s like tasting vomit.

And what if going after Hillary and Bill ("you want to accuse *ME* of pussy grabbing? You covered for a rapist, and that's just the beginning of your crimes....") -- pops the cork on ALL the pent-up rage against the Deep State which has been festering since Bush "Clown in America" ("if the American people ever found out what we did, they'd chase us down the street and lynch us.")...

Can you say "Trumpslide"? Can you say "Mount Trumpmore"?

...can you say, Vichy France?

I haven't followed all your posts to see what has supposedly upset folks, but your #1270 appears fairly well thought out and reasonable, to me...

I think we are seeing exactly the same strategic decision processes at work.

Congress is all sound and fury. Maybe that is a valid role for them to play ... while RR plays the “villain” and thwarts their “noble” efforts. (Hey, if it gets MAGA types elected, GREAT.)

As Q said in several different contexts: “Coming soon to a theater near you.”
