We must start prosecuting these bastards right up to the top and not let up until we get them all and we devastate them financially where they are fighting in a supermarket parking lot for refundable bottles and cans and a cart to put them in

The EXEMPT, hated, treasonous US Congress is so stupid
as to think the American People will continue to do nothing
as they gorge themselves on stolen money, “laws”
from which they immune, drugs, alcohol, as they LIE
and glibly permit corruption unimagined last century.

Jail is not adequate punishment for her crimes against the Republic

F’n A right just do it.

As a federal officer acting under color of law, the fifth amendment does not apply to her. She is not a ‘citizen’ when performing any of her official acts. She is merely an employee.
