The Law Strikes Back
American Thinker ^ | 24 Jul, 2025 | Kevin Finn

Whether or not indictments, trials and convictions of high-profile figures like Hussein Obama, James Clapper, John Brennan, James Comey, and Hillary Clinton occur, the consequences will likely be profound, impacting political, legal, social, and institutional domains. The differences between the political Left and Right are so deep that no matter which way this goes, the divide is likely to deepen.

If these individuals are held to account, leftists will likely call it a politically-driven vendetta. Rep. Jim Himes, for example has called the revelations “baseless” and a distraction. Unaware of or ignoring the irony, Democrat voters would accuse President Trump of weaponizing the Justice Department. Conversely, Trump’s base would see prosecutions as validation of what we've known for years -- the Russian Collusion story was a hoax orchestrated by the Deep State.

Charges against such prominent figures would require substantial evidence to meet legal thresholds, particularly for a crime like treason. Treason, under 18 U.S.C. § 2381, demands proof of levying war against the U.S. or aiding its enemies, requiring two witnesses or a confession in court. Obstruction of justice, seditious conspiracy or falsification of documents, more plausible charges, would still face hurdles due to statutes of limitations (typically five years for federal crimes) and possible presidential immunity for Obama’s official acts, (for which Obama should thank Trump)

One rhetorical question I have is if seditious conspiracy can be considered an official presidential act.

"Seditious conspiracy is a federal crime defined under 18 U.S.C. § 2384, which targets agreements between two or more people to use force against the government. This includes plans to overthrow the U.S. government… or forcibly oppose its authority. The statute also criminalizes conspiracies to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any federal law.” [snip] “The core of the offense is the conspiracy itself

If Zer0 gets indictmented, things will likely get “mostly peaceful”. Plan accordingly.

Why would TREASON have an expiration date?

Conspiracy has a five year statute of limitations. The five year ticker starts from the most recent act perpetrated the conspiracy. Bammy just reset the ticker with his last public statement trying to convince us the this report is misinformation.

The day he meets his 72 virgins will be a wonderful day.

Abuses of power are only diminished by credible and significant fears of lawful consequences. For the sake of the republic these crimes need to be litigated and punishment supplied quickly.

And we need to plan for it, and take all the advantages afforded to us. The Dem Party needs to be crushed. It's what they want to do to us....

If those currently in power want to create a solid foundation for America’s governing body going forward, then the prosecutions of those who acted with criminal intent must occur.

They would not think twice about putting Trump under the jail.
I wager they would revel in it. Jail the seditionists. It is what is called for.

"The differences between the political Left and Right are so deep that no matter which way this goes, the divide is likely to deepen."

Absolutely, the divorce is so close you can smell it. The left is now so estranged from the right that we have become almost a completely different species.

The big argument is whether we as a nation are a "Democracy" or a "Republic." We know what the founders intended this nation to be but the democraps absolutely refuse to live by the rule of law. They're determined to force the rule of the majority on us whether we like or not. They want to use dishonest leftist judges in the courts to change and subvert the Constitution. We, on the right find that to be completely unacceptable.!

So, buckle up, sooner or later it's going to come to blows. Better get to know your neighbor, build up some sort of plans for the defense of your community, your town or your county. It's coming, and with the prosecutions of Obama and the other traitors in our government, looks to be real soon...

I doubt it.
