However, in my opinion, a move towards better government includes a guarantee that when crimes are committed, justice will be done. That’s a requirement or there can be no trust in government.


I wouldn’t mind seeing Hillary in jail as a by product of draining the swamp, but that is not the goal and that is why trump smiles and cuts the chanting off at the rallys. He knows he has something better for us.

Putting Hillary in jail is not going to change anything in the long term. Public humiliation is a better strategy.

He is doing a tremendous job of cutting off money and power which is job One.

Hillary Clinton and many of her associates, by all appearances, have conspired successfully to subvert our government from within, and in Hillary’s case, to enrich herself by sale of high office. If the “goal” is restoring the rule of law, and equality under the law in America, prosecuting the Clintons and their cronies is the proper tool. Allowing felons patently guilty of the highest crimes and misdemeanors to simply walk away will not discourage others from continuing their nefarious work. “Humiliation” is no deterrent for criminals who live in an echo chamber of egomaniacal self-righteousness, ends-justify-the-means relativism, and denial reinforced by corrupt “news” media. Yes, prosecution might be difficult, or expensive, or troublesome, but is that an excuse for evading a hard duty? Should common murderers and thieves get a pass on similar grounds?

As Washington said, “Government is all Force”. In the current circumstances, public prosecution is the humane, lawful, and appropriate expression of that “force” requisite to protect our Constitutional government from those who would destroy it from within. Doing so is not a lark, or an end in itself; it is the essential duty. To maintain its viability, a Government must protect itself and its Constitution. Failure to do so will lead either to tyranny or anarchy.

public humiliation is not good enough. If she committed treason lets put her on trial along with the swamp dwellers. They need to face justice not a slap on the wrist.
