Five Quick Things: The Long Overdue Russiagate Reckoning

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The lies concocted by Hillary Clinton’s campaign team cannot go unpunished.

About half the country has almost a decade's worth of rage that has been building and building over the utter lawlessness atop the Democrat Party.

What's sad is that the angry half doesn't seem to include any Democrats.

The utterly horrific Russiagate scandal, which gets worse with every disclosure emanating from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, isn't just pulling off a scab and re-exposing old wounds. Because there has never been a scab. The wound has never healed. It has gone untreated for years. It's septic and at least half the country knows it's infected and putting the patient's life in danger.

You cannot run a representative republic if one political party sabotages the duly elected president of the other party in ways that poison parts of the government against the interests of the people. Russiagate was exactly that; the lies concocted by Hillary Clinton's campaign team and furthered by the dead-enders of the late-stage Obama administration to weaponize intelligence and law enforcement agencies against the people's elected president amount to treason.

And treason must be addressed.

As Marcus Tullius Cicero said, "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within."

People understand that the lawlessness that took us from Hillary Clinton using a private email server while secretary of state solely for the purpose of hiding from the public the illegal acts of corruption she was regularly committing, to Clinton's team drumming up a false narrative accusing Donald Trump of colluding with Russia to rig the 2016 presidential election, to Barack Obama using that pack of lies as justification to both spy on Trump's campaign and set up prosecutions of Trump allies, and finally to the entire Democrat apparatus concocting...

It's not the rage that needs the reckoning.

It's Justice that needs the reckoning.

The 2020 election, the way J6 protestors were set up, and the way they were subsequently treated was far worse.

“What’s sad is that the angry half doesn’t seem to include any Democrats.”

Poorly worded and needs to be rewritten. Tulsi was a Democrat and is now a leader of the search for the truth.
Some grassroots Dems are with the Tulsi wing. So some Democrats were honest, did see the light. Maybe they are no longer Democrats. But the broad brush of a statement in the article does not encourage others to seek the truth.
