Sooner or later AG Pam Bondi will have to announce that a case based on that referral is under construction.

We'll see.

Kunstler left two names off his list of miscreants:

John McCain and Lindsey Graham. Both were either in on the coup or actively supported it.

[RoosterRedux]

Did these conspirators reach out to Pence? Was he part of their plan?

[oldtech]

Seems to me that it’s about time some folks started answering some embarrassing questions. And maybe time for some wholesale jailing.

If convicted on the evidence, the traitors must be hanged.

If it was years long it was NOT a"coup." A coup politically speaking is a strike (coup is French for "hit" or "strike" or "smite"), a sudden action to topple the regime and take over. In modern situations it involves physically removing or killing the Leader and taking over the government radio and TV (in America's case that part would be unnecessary as the broadcast media are already in the bag) and dismissing whatever legislature there is while arresting or killing opposition legislators. Court justices would also be neutralized at the same time.

This was a takeover attempt or a revolution from the second level or something else but it was NOT a COUP. I guess it is a sexy word with we are familiar because of the numerous coups in Latin America and other third world countries. Demcracies/republics do not experience "coups" beause there are too many institutions and indiiduals to neutralize to actually take over. It has to be done by bastardizing the system and working through that system though crookedly and it is not rapid like a coup. The takeover attempted here has been bubbling through the nation for decades via takeover of the institutions gradually and the schools and entertainment industry etc.

It has got so that I get skeptical bout reports if they include the word "coup" because that indicates ignorance on the part of the writer or speaker and thus unreliability of the message.

I despize the bastardization of the language by the left and even by conservatives when they blindly accept the left's redefinitions or creat redefinitions of their own like COUP.

The election prank launched by Hillary Clinton’s campaign turned into an overt sedition op led by President Barack Obama to overthrow his elected successor, Donald Trump.

...and, as is always the case, nothing is done about it and they get away with it. Hillary should be sitting in a cell for multiple reasons, from Vince Foster's "suicide" to her email server. Yet she skates free. Multiply this by all the other members of gov't from Comey to Schiff and you can understand why no one trusts the gov't anymore.

Yeah, no. It was/is a coup. A rose is a rose....

[arthurus]

Probably also Senator Cotton. Like Graham he often sounds rock solit consewrvative but he is deep state in his preferences in the Senate. Tillis and Massie are in that bag, too. They can be useful on some issues and are careful to plish their conservative badges from time to time but they are not on our side.

[arthurus]

They are not guilty of Treason unless we are going to do what the left constantly does i.e. redefine words in order to change the meanings of items in the Constitution to suit an agenda. They are guilty of some serious crimes ofattempting to overthrow a President and the system but they are not doing it in concert with anothernation unless China can be found to have put money anddinto the operation and to have worked with the conspirators- which is not terribly unlikely but must be found, shown, and proved for it to be TREASON.

[arthurus]

Death sentence is not appropriate or Constitutionally possible for their very real crimes unless treason can be proved and that requires conscious working with and for a foreign government. WEF doesn’t count. China does.

[arthurus]

Look in the damn dictionary. And surely you believe that RED signifies conservative and Bue signifies Revolutionary, Left etc. Words are whatever you say they are when you say them, right?

[Albion Wilde]

Quite right:

Finally, consider this: demonizing Vladimir Putin set the stage for the Ukraine War—ikicked off in 2014 under President Obama and his State Department / CIA group led by Victoria Nuland orchestrating the Maidan revolt. The official disclosures now by the DNI should make it clear that Mr. Putin did not deserve the treatment he got for years on end, and that the overall effect of it has been catastrophic for world peace. Half the people in the USA still believing all the manufactured [BS] about Mr. Putin has made it extremely difficult for President Trump to end the war in Ukraine that has killed millions.
RussiaGate had the gravest consequences, and now there can be consequences for the merry pranksters who started it and kept it going, one way or another, for a decade.

[Albion Wilde]

OK, so it was a Deep State pronunciamiento.

[TTFlyer]

Dictionary you say? I can’t define a coup but I know one when I see one.

Bye.

[arthurus]

Coup- strike. Sudden hit. Remember the plains Indians “counting cous” ? That was getting close enough to the enemy to strike him with the hand. Coup is French and does not imply anything gradual or drawn out. It is a suden strike. I am sure you enthusiastically adopt all the counterintuitive redefinitions that the press posits. Your thought processes are therefore blurred by not actually knowing what a word means from day to day.
