In reply to the discussion: If Anonymous has definitive proof that Rove tried to hack the vote, present it. [View all]Are_grits_groceries
(17,111 posts)it will be over some pedestrian crime such as tax fraud or perjury. That is the only way many people ever see the inside of a jail. I wouldn't count on that.
In addition, a prosecution based on Anon's proof would be questionable. Somebody could claim to be Anon and post something tomorrow and how would you know who really did it? That's the beauty of Anon. It keeps people guessing and wondering as they go about their mischief.
If you think the Dems are lily white in the area of voter fraud, I have a bridge to sell you. Somebody is researching it and messing about as we post. It isn't a one way street. The GOP has just been more ruthless and open about it to an extent.
Nobody will be prosecuted except for low-level dabbling. Any trial about a large effort will never happen. Rove will be protected by powerful people or die in a plane crash.
Just the fact that Anon can get into people's heads is enough for me. They don't have to provide you, me or anybody else anything. You may have your knickers in a twist to prosecute Rove. They don't.
Lastly, if Anon can do this, the government has to have somebody who can ferret it out too. They aren't acting on it if they do because they aren't going to expose what probably would be a nest of snakes.
Does Anon exist and do everything claimed in their announcements? Who cares. It keeps the PTB on their toes. If they treat it as a real threat it is effective and part of the mission is accomplished.
Demand away. Chase Rove. That will keep you busy and that's a mission accomplished too, eh?
