“The forces behind this coup have done and will do anything to protect their grasp on illegal & illegitimate power.” — Stephen Miller.
Let’s not pretend that RussiaGate was ever anything but a “treasonous conspiracy” and a “years’ long coup” as bluntly labeled by the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) on Friday. 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. DNI Tulsi Gabbard went even further and proffered criminal referrals on all this to the US Attorney General. If you think this is not extremely serious, you are not paying attention.
The New York Times was not paying attention in its Sunday edition. Not a word about this historic action on the paper’s website landing page. So now you know why the Harvard law professors, the Martha’s Vineyard chardonnay widows, and all the creative class hipsters of Brooklyn persist in their personal globes of political delusion. Instead, The Times dwelt on the Epstein business, still haplessly hoping to catch the Golden Golem in its golem trap. (Mr. Trump’s lawsuit against the Pulitzer Prize committee for rewarding the Time’s RussiaGate coverage is still pending, by the way.)
Meanwhile, DNI Gabbard went on Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday confab and warned of more info releases coming this week. Sooner or later AG Pam Bondi will have to announce that a case based on that referral is under construction. My guess is that this is exactly what Kash Patel’s FBI has been preoccupied with for months with no leaking — you can imagine severe penalties against that. You might also note that there are no higher crimes under our law than treason, as explicitly spelled out in the DNI report. The DNI also stated flatly on Sunday, “There must be indictments.” If you think DNI Gabbard went forward without consulting some crack constitutional lawyers, you’ll be disappointed.
And also meanwhile, Deputy AG Todd Blanche has applied for release of the sealed grand jury transcripts on the 2019 Epstein case from the DOJ’s Manhattan outpost (SDNY). And consider: all that info was completely segregated from the Epstein files that former FBI Director Christopher Wray controlled for years and years, meaning it was not subject to editing and manipulation. You may finally get to see the difference between the “hoax” elements of the story and the actual evidence.
The Russian meddling and collusion story might have seemed like “a thing” to many in the early January days of 2017 before Mr. Trump’s first inauguration. But when they went after the newly appointed National Security Advisor, General Mike Flynn, for having a conversation with the Russian ambassador, you had had to know that something sketchy was afoot. As this blog asked at the time: why are ambassadors from foreign lands here, if not to speak with our government officials? The story was preposterous but, of course, the news media helped run Gen. Flynn out of office and then led the cheering for the DOJ’s malicious prosecution of him afterward in Judge Emmet G. Sullivan’s DC district court.
You also have to wonder if anyone in the news media might be subject to indictment above and beyond the First Amendment’s guarantee of freedom of the press. Is there a line between that and acting as an accessory to treason? What did New York Times editor (at the time) Dean Baquet think he was doing, publishing all that patent garbage? Or the producers of CNN and other network news?
The DNI called these activities a “treasonous conspiracy” for a reason. A conspiracy charge that encompasses a skein of persons in a continuous series of crimes extends the statute of limitations to the latest criminal act for all involved. You might also wonder how wide a net the DOJ could cast. Will it include such obvious players as Senator Mark Warner, who schemed to play along on RussiaGate as Vice-chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence? Or then-Congressman Adam Schiff on the House Intel Committee when, for years, he pretended to have “proof” of (i.e., lied about) Trump-Russia collusion? Or FBI Director Wray, who hid evidence, might have tampered with evidence, and apparently lied to Congress about many of these connected matters? Or Andrew Weissmann, who virtually ran the phony Mueller Investigation as a RussiaGate cover-up op because Robert Mueller was mentally infirm? Or Lawfare Ninjas Marc Elias, Norm Eisen, and Mary McCord who appear liable for 2020 election hackery and the Jan 6 “insurrection” op (including the House J6 Committee fakery afterward) along with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi? Or former AG William Barr, who sat on the Hunter Biden laptop during Trump Impeachment No. 1, when the device was stuffed with exculpatory evidence withheld from Mr. Trump’s lawyers? Or CIA agent Eric Ciaramella, Lt. Col Alex Vindman, and Intel Inspector General Michael Atkinson, who conspired with Rep. Adam Schiff on the “Ukraine phone call” operation that was the basis of impeachment No. 1? Or DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who botched his investigation (on purpose?) of FISA court criminal irregularities, or Judge James Boasberg who presided over those criminal irregularities and issued many of them? Or Special Counsel John Durham who took years to overlook the salient elements of the RussiaGate coup? Or many other figures involved one way or another. . . McCabe, Strzok, Page, Pientka, Thibault, Baker, Rice, Yates, Rummler, Halper, Pompeo, Haines, Bruce and Nellie Ohr. . . .
Are they all rounded-up and sent to court together, like a Nuremberg proceeding? Or do they get their own separate cases? Or will the DOJ only go after the top dogs: Obama, Brennan, Clapper, and Comey?
Finally, consider this: demonizing Vladimir Putin set the stage for the Ukraine War — which was initially kicked 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.

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

OK, so it was a Deep State pronunciamiento.
Dictionary you say? I can’t define a coup but I know one when I see one.
Bye.
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.
