| Will The Conspiracy Against Trump And American Democracy Go Unpunished? |
| 2018-02-06 |
| [ZeroHedge] If the Russiagate conspiracy against Trump and American democracy goes unpunished, accountable government in the United States will cease to exist. US security agencies have long been involved in coups against foreign governments. Now they are involved in one against America. There is great danger that Republicans are so worshipful of "national security" and so determined to protect the reputation of the US government that they will give a pass to the high officials who participated in a conspiracy against the United States. As for President Trump, he lacks a government that he can count on and is threatened by the military/security complex. The conspiracy could easily be whitewashed as merely a case of the FBI and DOJ not following proper procedures, with the media’s participation in the conspiracy being dismissed with mea culpas of "sloppy reporting." |

| #10 Jeffy Sessions has to go! I'm thinking he's going to get the boot after the mid-terms if the GOP does well. |

| #9 Check out this pile of horse poop. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley says a recent memo written by the attorney general to Justice Department heads that instructs them not to communicate with Congress without pre-approval from the Justice Department Office of Legal Affairs (OLA) is almost certainly illegal. |

| #7 ...accountable government in the United States will cease to exist. Utter nonsense. Despite having all the advantages, the conspirators’ presidential candidate lost decisively to Donald Trump, who is proceeding both to unwind the various projects so dear to the hearts of his predecessor in office Barack Obama and both Hillary Clinton and her husband, Bill — and none of them will be allowed near power again after the losses they are responsible for. Not only that, but sunshine is starting to shine on the various strands of the web and a lengthening list of weavers, who are being faced with the choice of being fired or resigning, with the threat of further legal action to come. This piece follows an updated version of Zero Hedge’s formula, as described by forner employee Colin Lokey. He said he faced constant pressure to frame stories in line with a particular world-view, which he described as “Russia=good. Obama=idiot. Bashar al-Assad=benevolent leader. John Kerry=dunce. Vladmir Putin=greatest leader in the history of statecraft.” |

| #6 In other words, will elites go after other elites and screw up the money and power train for everyone in order to uphold some intangible like justice or a promises to the plebs? Next question. |

| #5 I hope you have better luck than we're having with Brexit and the establishment disgust at democracy. |

| #4 Yea, but you can't teach politicians not to be corrupt. However, if you teach public employees to not gofer for politicians... |

| #3 Yes and No. Yes, the miscreants will never be punished by the state. No, because they're bringing the inevitable Civil War ever closer to a reality and everything they thought they were gaining or protecting will be gone in the deluge. |

| #2 I'd say closer to 100% - there is no longer any accountability in DC. |

| #1 Some cronies might be arrested, and the corrupt-state rooted out, but I fear the leaders of this conspiracy will go unpunished for fear of the civil war that would erupt as Hillary and Obama were rounded up. Personally I think those willing to fight for the corrupt conspiracy are so brainwashed at this point that perhaps they should be given that opportunity to rise up and be put down for the long term health of the Republic. |
