Today, I may be seeing things through rose-tinted lenses, but it does seem that, just maybe, the

[Atticus]

annelid has changed course.

Given recent judicial comments and rulings plus a VERY aggressive AG and DOJ, it seems possible---if not probable---that Trump, Barr, Rosenstein and several other of the "usual suspects" are about to be shown to have not just behaved immorally and spoken dishonestly, as we all "knew", but also---wait for it!---COMMITTED CRIMES! But, having heard much more nakedly craven protests when any prominent Republican gets their mammary in the Maytag, I expect that the likes of McConnell, Cruz, Graham, McCarthy and and their ilk will wail loudly that we "just hate Trump" and want to "end his political career".

Well, yeah, there is that.

I would phrase it a little differently, though. I just want to FIGURATIVELY drive a stake through the monster's heart and watch him shrivel into nothingness.

We need to be prepared to counter not only the pleas that "they are just too important" and that prosecuting them would be portrayed as "political reprisals", but also for the transparent threats that " it would infuriate Trump's loyalists!"

If what has been made public so far is substantiated, these people need to do prison time. You and I would sure as hell be wearing numbers if we were proven to have done half of what it seems they may have done.

Anything less will be a greenlight to wannabes like DeSantis and Cotton proving that it is ok to lie, cheat, steal, blackmail---and worse---because "the people don't really care".

Be informed and vocal and, when necessary, be loud and PISSED!

1. Where is the chorus of replies that agree with you? Well, I AM HERE. I AGREE.

We the People do care, and it's high time we started acting that way.

Thank you, my dear Atticus, for your sensible and well-written post!

I salute you.

[Grey5]

2. I Agree...

Well said, Dear Atticus.

[DENVERPOPS]

16. Love you CP

but after the Cheney/Rumsfeld administration, and all the extreme felonies and crimes against humanity that they committed, including TREASON no less, and watching them all walk, I wish with all my heart that it is different this time........

I have asked many many times on this website, if any attorney can tell me if it requires a UNANIMOUS decision of the jury to find a person guilty. I have not received reply one..........so I still don't know if that is true.

If that is true, I worry that they won't be able to try any of them with a Criminal Offense considering the fact that it will be highly unlikely there won't be at least one of 70 Million Trumphumpers and Republicans sitting on any jury.......

[redstatebluegirl]

4. I agree.

[mactire]

5. Thanks; on board

Thank you for your words . They’ll be in my mind, and help me when I “go to battle” with people I encounter that offer their nonsense excuses and reasoning when it comes to these conversations.

[MLAA]

6. Lock them up. They acted criminally.

Agree, Atticus.

7. Extra kudos for the phrase,

"gets their mammary in the Maytag."

[NBachers]

15. I can think of other body parts this crew should get caught in the Maytag.

[wnylib]

21. So can I, but "mammary" was so original.

[Joinfortmill]

8. Amen

[niyad]

9. Got the loud and PISSED covered!

[unweird]

10. Amen Brother Rat

As it is written so shall it be.

[rickyhall]

11. I just want there to be no possibility of getting TRUMPED again.

Once was more than enough.

[KPN]

17. Exactly! Before 2016, I just didn't wanna get Bushed again.

This was a whole new level. We can’t let it happen ever again during our lifetimes. The next time could be fatal.

12. I love your posts

Keep that rage burning brother

[malaise]

13. I love your posts

Keep that rage burning brother

[Wounded Bear]

14. Well, I do hate Trump and I do want to end his political career...

but not for the reasons they think I do.

[KPN]

18. Hell yeah! Thank you for that Atticus.

[BunnyMcGee]

19. Count me in

[hadEnuf]

20. Yes, these bastards need to be criminally prosecuted and jailed

and when that starts happening the pigs usually start to squeal.

Republicans are pro's at accusing people of things they themselves have actually done or are doing, and Trump has been screaming election fraud non-stop since the election. Shit, he even staged a coup over it. Yes, Trump is a madman but just what is he so worried about that he would actually go to these ridiculous and criminal lengths?

We need to keep their feet to the fire.

[BobTheSubgenius]

22. This would make me happier than just about anything else.

Thank you, Atticus.
