In reply to the discussion: Trump is losing his war on the FBI [View all]scheming daemons
(25,487 posts)15. You believe we will have a fair election in '18 or '20 if Trump's DOJ/FBI purge isn't stopped?
You're naive.
We have to pull out *ALL* the stops to stop him right now.
Releasing the Dem Memo is just one.... but any and all cards we have to play have to be played *RIGHT* now.
A week from now, there might be no Mueller investigation. To the extent the Dem Memo release can slow down the FBI purge...and I think it can.... it has to be used.
By November, the FBI will be investigating *EVERY* Democratic challenger in a tight race....anyone who can threaten Trump.... in order to tilt the elections. The voting machines will *NOT* be protected, as Trump will have his FBI/DOJ look the other way.
We won't have a Republic by November if we don't do everything to stop him *NOW*.

If Trump wants to engineer the firing of Mueller the memo won't stop him.

Trump suggested it's okay to punch a woman in her face and put a cigarette out on her hand.

I think the Democrats have always been on the side of the FBI and the rule of law.
