Traitors Must Be Prosecuted To Stop The Coup
Townhall.com ^ | June 2, 2019 | Cliff Nichols

Mueller’s press conference this week should be giving the president a good reason to be asking, how long can his administration afford to allow this coup d’ état to continue before a quorum of public opinion takes hold in this country that will wrongfully compel him by force of some unlawful process, if not arms, to be removed from office?

Undeniably, America is in the midst of a civil war. The only things not yet flying are the bullets.

Liberals in Congress are demanding our president be impeached for undefined offenses. Liberal federal judges are letting themselves be used to thwart his policies at every turn. A complicit liberal media, with the help of Hollywood, is doing its very best to enable the president’s enemies to foment in the public’s mind — without evidence — that he is a liar, a cheat and a criminal who must be removed from office. And Mueller's press conference brought this tempest to an even greater boil than when the president was first elected over two years ago.

Why?

For one reason, because the president has survived long enough to expose a coup attempted by former high-ranking officials within our government and complicit members of the media to bring him down. Independent investigations have revealed they took affirmative actions in furtherance of a conspiracy to unlawfully — i.e., undemocratically — overthrow his administration, which is a crime.

In a word, they committed treason.

In summary, these liberal elitists felt they knew better what’s good for America than did the millions of people who elected the president. And so to thwart him and them, the Clintons and the DNC “allegedly” paid to create a false dossier that not only slandered the president but then was used by Hillary’s sympathizers to fraudulently legitimize their spying on his campaign before the election and to undermine his administration ever since.

The president’s problem now — as revealed by Mueller — is that they are still trying to pull off the coup they started before he was even elected.

And why wouldn’t they? Traitors who know they have been discovered, but who have yet to be held accountable for their crimes, have nothing to lose by trying to incite an insurrection that could help them to avoid going to jail … or worse. And this threat is made even more potent when such highly motivated people are also both very intelligent and experienced in how the system can be manipulated to achieve their infamy.

Almost one year ago I published an editorialMemo to President Trump: Prosecute Hillary or Perish— to sound a warning to our president that, if nothing is done soon to stop the overthrow of his presidency, time is likely to play in his opponents’ favor. And, that is precisely what we are all watching play out before our very eyes today with the likes of Mueller’s press conference.

It is true that since that warning was issued Attorney General Sessions has been replaced, and several of the treasonous conspirators — in addition to James Comey — have lost their jobs.

But so what?

All of them — from President Obama and Hillary Clinton on down to their minions, like Comey, Clapper, Brennan, Yates, the Ohrs, McCabe, Strzok, Page and now Mueller —have remained absolutely free to move about the country publishing editorials, writing books, giving speeches and tweeting to their heart's content to tell everybody they can how our duly elected president and his government should be overthrown and replaced. All while helping others to search endlessly for crimes they are hoping to find he committed to justify his removal. In other words, to do everything they can — with the assistance of their allies in Hollywood and the media — to persuade the public of the rightness of their cause to both buttress their nefarious purposes and save their hides.

Both the president and his administration would do well to keep in mind that in 2016 Hillary received over 65 million votes by liberals who the coup conspirators could reasonably anticipate rallying to their side. And they very well could be if enlisted if the traitors continue to be allowed to convince them that the coup they are attempting not only should succeed but can.

Why else would Comey recently write an Op-Ed published by the New York Times? There, by inference, he strongly suggested to the public that if you support the president:

You are supporting an amoral criminal who cheats, lies and forces others to commit crimes;
You are betraying our country; and
• “…you are lost. He has eaten your soul,” unless, that is, you join people like Comey, who is brave enough to resist the president’s evil.

Why else would Mueller hold a press conference weeks after the filing of his report that seemingly exonerated the president? Again, by inference, he suggested to the public that:

• Attorney General Barr’s interpretation of his report was erroneous, if not criminally biased in favor of the president;
• The president did commit the crime of obstructing justice for which Mueller could not charge him due to Department of Justice policies; and
• So, it is now the incumbent duty of Congress to do what he could not, and remove the president from office by impeachment.

If such suggestions being broadcast to the public are not calls to arms, what are they?

These are exactly the kind of solicitations for public support one would expect from those who are guilty after being informed that both the president and his attorney general are now investigating their treason. Already too guilty to deny their attempts to overthrow our government, their only remaining hope is to see their attempted coup through to the end. Operating on fear, they see it as the only path left for them to avoid years in prison… if not a noose.

Therefore, at present, the only recourse to stop this coup dead in its tracks is for the president, his Department of Justice, and all patriotic Americans to insist that the traitors be held accountable for their crimes. Only their indictments and prosecution can put such Americans on notice that their behavior is contrary to what America stands for and will be dealt with harshly in the future. Otherwise, their coup will only continue until it succeeds.

This was the gauntlet Mr. Mueller most certainly threw down before the president this week. Mr. President, please, take this moment in history to meet his challenge and do what is right… that is before your enemies — like Mr. Mueller — are enabled any further to obtain the political momentum they are seeking to force you from office and destroy the constitutional republic we love.

“former USMC“

I thought there was no such thing as a “former Marine”.

I have heard but have not been able to confirm that DJT re-called some of the Colonels and Generals and Captains and Admirals that Obama had purged out. Is it true?

From what I’ve observed, you have an excellent perspective on all this.

So you know people on 5 bases what can that be 50 to 200? I speak to lots more on a regular basis than that because of my position and social circle. Talked to quite a few well connected folks last night at a social outing last night. They had some very interesting comments which do not support the narrative you are pushing.

snellvillebob from CTH says,

"You have to start with one then drain another. Barr needs to go after Hillary as she will take everyone down with her. This entire dossier, investigation, crimes by the DOJ and FBI are all to protect the number one criminal in the USA: Hillary.

It is always about Hillary, just ask her."

Yes they have and many pro-Trumpers have been promoted.

This is new upcoming COJCOS who I would describe as being a “wartime” consilgiere which is big trouble for the Deep State:

Ok, here’s a scenario.

You are a USMC captain commanding a rifle company somewhere in the National Capital Area.

You are awakened at 2am by a call from your immediate superior telling you that the White House is under attack by terrorists and that the President is missing. The terrorist forces have US Army uniforms and have stolen some trucks and APCs from a base in Virginia.

Your orders are to proceed to 38th and M in Georgetown and prevent enemy forces dressed in American uniforms from crossing the Key Bridge.

The internet is down. No broadcast stations are on the air.

Are you going to shoot at the Army forces coming across the bridge to rescue the President, or not?

Explain.

Of them all, I think she would be the one hardest to take down because she is the most protected.

The least protected is Comey, McCabe, Ohr, etc.

Without their positions to leverage into power, they really are bereft of power.

I will tell you that planning such a scenario today is not easy to do and is downright impossible. The several reasons for this is out of your level of “need to know”.

”I am deeply embedded”

I'm very curious as to the origins of your perspective. Could you be a little more specific?

My brother retired a Westpoint educated O6 with several years at the Pentagon. About as flaming a liberal as you'll find. On the other hand I work with a recently retired O4 who earned his commision up from enlisted, and is very conservative / down to earth.

My O4 friend and I had a conversation just the other day about this, and he believes the vast majority of the rank and file will do exactly as they're ordered regardless of thier political beliefs. If orders from above are coming from officers like my brother, we're in trouble.

Your scenario has many scenarios possible.

For one, think of how our troops handled Germans dressed as Americans during the Battle of the Bulge.

They will follow their orders even though their political beliefs are contrare. I am finding some interesting trends taking place with liberals that I know and they are seeing through the BS being done by the Deep State. They want to see those doing this to Trump jailed because their respect for the Constitution is great. This is a very good trend and I hope it continues.

“My O4 friend and I had a conversation just the other day about this, and he believes the vast majority of the rank and file will do exactly as they’re ordered regardless of thier political beliefs”

Well, that’s the point Ive been trying to make.

Under conditions of perfect information and transparent motivation, DV is undoubtedly correct.

But a successful coup will provide false information and complete lack of transparency..

I have complete faith that most officers and men are completely loyal
to the legal civilian government and would give their lives to protect it, IF THEY KNOW WHO IS WHO WITH BULLETS FLYING.

What are the odds that insurrectionists will provide them with clear and correct information?

I agree but will it really happen? Best thing we can currently hope for is that the buzzards, errr, I mean defense lawyers swoop in and bankrupt all the conspirators having to pay for their services. I want to see perp walks, I want to see prison sentences, I want to see punishment against these conspirators so it never happens again!!!
