The Guillotine is a gruesome instrument of Justice. It was named after Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin who recommended that the French government adopt a gentler, more humane method of execution. It was used for capital punishment for more than 150 years. The last execution via the swift blade took place in 1977 just before the French outlawed capital punishment. Early on it was an especially favored instrument in meeting out Justice for traitorous political plots. Today, the term “heads will roll” originates from its use.
It may take a few more months to clear away all of the remaining roadblocks and stonewalling. But, the incriminating documents will inevitably be procured. Too many people were part of the plot. Some will cop a plea. Professionals inside the FBI are now coming forward, asking to be subpoenaed so that they can testify before Congress. Motivated to clean up this mess, they want to share what they know. President Trump is now fully engaged and demanding complete transparency. Even his worst detractors would attest to his tenacity.
Once Professor Halper is extradited from Oxford and is facing the possibility of life in prison for his central role in the conspiracy, he will sing like an Irish tenor. Combining his testimony with the OIG Report and the treasure trove of incriminating evidence surely contained in the 40,000 documents yet to be turned over should be enough to convict at least six of the high ranking co-conspirators. Perhaps the Sessions appointed investigator from Utah has already authorized secret electronic surveillance of key figures. If so, that information may net even bigger fish.
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper probably did himself serious damage with his earlier conflicting statements made under oath. But, his backhanded admission that yes, at least one Confidential Human Source (Spy) was hired to imbed and entrap Trump campaign operatives certainly cooked his goose. That could have happened only with his approval. His ham-fisted attempt to justify the treasonous actions by saying that Mr. Trump should be thankful because they were only trying to protect him from the rascally Russians probably won’t play well with prosecutors. His clumsy reasons for not sharing any of this with Trump and not providing similar “protections” for the Hillary campaign only add to his problems. There will be no offer to strike a deal with him. The paper trail is clear. It will make him disposable. He must know by now that his head, metaphorically, is on the block.
The complicated story of the Insurance Policy referenced in text messages we now know was actually operation Crossfire Hurricane. It is all unraveling as I write. It won’t take a team of mean-spirited partisan prosecutors to prove the treasonous political motives behind it. Objective observers can see that. Just as more and more Americans now see the whole Mueller effort as little more than a stinky partisan smokescreen designed to cover the actions of his high ranking friends at DOJ and the FBI. The fog will continue to lift, it always does. The media subterfuge and excuses notwithstanding. It may be hard to prove that Mueller and his team colluded with Comey et al. But as the facts of this ugly story continue to unfold, Mueller’s work and reputation will suffer permanent damage.
All of the delays, redactions and obfuscations by Rod Rosenstein make sense only if we assume that he is somehow complicit in the conspiracy. His claims of protecting the integrity of the DOJ and FBI ring absolutely hollow. He must be covering his own tracks. We will know very soon what part he played in creating the mess and how he delayed finding the facts that would lead to its resolution.
Let me be clear, I am not calling for the construction of a Guillotine on the Capitol Mall. But, the Spygate scandal is real! And it represents a dangerous threat to our Republic. There has to be accountability.
Heads will roll. They will definitely roll!
CNN hires liars like Clapper to lie on their Fake News programs!
Unlikely. There may be a few low-level scapegoats, but this crowd protects its own.
Well ok then! In the good old American tradition and spirit of the revolution, tar, feathers, rope and high tree limbs it is!!
Let the hangings commence!
Just subject them to the IRS.
Let 'em roll. We'd be better off with 535 heads of lettuce in CONgre$$ and the unelected traitor-heads in the former executive branch are stealing O2
They are going to roll. Trust me when I tell you the fear runs deep even in the Federal civil service.
In the fwiw dept, I like Guillotines but will settle for rope and lampposts.

“....meeting out justice.” Wow.
“....meeting out justice.” Wow.
Rosenstein was Trump’s worst appointment. He has plenty in his background that he would like to keep hidden.
I once moved into an office that had a guillotine and two huge hammers. After a lot of complaining, I finally got someone to come get the guillotine.
They may not be used for executions any more, but are used in research for humane euthanasia.
“Unlikely. There may be a few low-level scapegoats, but this crowd protects its own.” Do you know something the rest of us don’t know? Do you know that “low-level scapegoats” will meekly go to jail without rolling on anyone? How about the Huber indictments, do you know thy will remain unsealed? Oh please do tell!
For later!
Is it too soon to start a discussion about whether President Trump should consider a Presidential Pardon for Obama? After conviction, of course.
A ferocious independent prosecutor is necessary to expose the enormity of this plot and punish those who subverted American democracy. Jeff Sessions does not have the disposition to do what is necessary. Sessions was Trump’s most disastrous appointment. Suspect he was a plant from the start.
Just a handful did a few months, for Watergate.
AG Mitchell, Halderman, Elichman, Dean etc.
Who thinks a DC grand jury will indict OBAMA Officils
******************
The writer is wildly optimistic. In Washington very few people are ever really held accountable for wrongdoing. It doesn’t matter if FBI professionals FBI are coming forward and asking to be subpoenaed. This will just turn into another brief episode of political theater with no real results, all too typical of the meaningless “hearings” that go on in DC.
This congress does not have the stomach for conducting serious inquires. How many times have we seen the Republican Party wither and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory? And the fake media will be spinning like tornadoes to protect their ideological brethren and the party they shill for.
Jeff ‘Sleepy’ Sessions has shown no willingness to do anything. He has effectively recused himself from his job.
We may learn a lot more about the plot and the members of the cabal in the coming weeks. But we are also going to learn, once again, that the DC elites are above the law.
The analogy of the guillotine does not apply in the Swamp.
...if we had an Attorney General and a DOJ that would pursue the rule of law.
But I dream...
