In reply to the discussion: Mueller just obtained a warrant that could change the entire nature of the Russia investigation [View all]Eyeball_Kid
(7,604 posts)That dozens, and perhaps over a hundred indictments will eventually be issued, and that the GOP, as the "winner" of the 2016 elections, sits on their thumbs and ignores this monstrous heist, with only a special prosecutor holding back a complete victory by Putin's coup, shows how fragile this constitutional republic really is. Only ONE office, Mueller's, keeps Putin from pushing Trumpy aside and assuming the position of chief executive in the White House. All of the claptrap on the MSM and cable news minimizes the severity and scope of what Russia and the GOP have actually done. To the MSM, it's all "infotainment": news for profit. What the executives of the MSM fear most is to send out the alarms that a coup has actually transpired because THEY participated in the coup! The MSM soft-pedaled Trumpy's criminality and made him a media spectacle for their own profit. Most of the telling signs of a coup were known to media corporations during the middle of 2016, but were largely ignored because Trumpy was SO PROFITABLE.
The only way that the nation's institutional strength will become manifest is if Mueller's investigation bags the entire GOP leadership, including Trumpy's inner circle of traitors, AND his allies in the GOP Congress. This coup was MASSIVE in scope and breadth. It is an effort of monumental historical, political, and economic importance.
If Mueller fails, then the coup succeeds, and the Constitution will quickly become a relic of a more secure past.
If Mueller fails, we can begin to assume that fundamental social contracts between the government and the citizens will no longer be held as valid. By way of illustration, if you own a home, you may as well consider your deed to be in jeopardy, because only our legitimate governments make them valid. Once those institutions become weakened, powerful entities can declare your ownership to be invalid, at their whim. THIS IS REAL, folks. If you think "government is the problem", just wait.
