Anyone who plans on letting bygones be bygones need not apply

After the election I don't want to hear any of this "we need to allow our nation to heal" bullshit

I want the criminals in this administration and their enablers in Congress to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I want to see the prosecutors fighting tooth and nail for the maximum sentences allowable by law to ensure future criminals who seek public office know there is a price to pay for operating like a crime family out of the White House.

Because if they have not done so, I don’t believe that you get to tell me to do so.

prosecutors are resigning, the DOJ will have no one left to bring the cases. Maybe that's part of the plan.

One of the smartest lines I ever read on DU was "Democrats are going to have to learn to fight Republicans the same way that Republicans fight Democrats."

It's true. The Republicans have no honor and do not go by any rules. They are The Borg.

And man, was spinach ever grateful! *rimshot*

In reality, it was in the context of a salad, but spinach nevertheless. I also skipped dessert. Hardcore!

The spectacle needs to be the crime, in fact, does not pay. Immorality and unethical behavior will not go unpunished by those who play fair with morals and ethics.

We live in a time where there is no consequences for people's actions. If there is no punishment for all these crimes, they will continue to happen more and more!

At the time I said that we were sending Republicans the message that they could get away with anything ... annnnnd here we are.

If we truly value our Constitution & the rule of law, then we need to stand up & enforce them. Period!

I agree.

1) They need to be made an example of.

2) It all needs to be exposed and it is hyuuge.

3) It will lead to stronger election laws, better election laws. Maybe even getting rid of the Electoral College.
