guardian news Trump's attack on the FBI is an attack on the US constitution itself

[umbertino]

 

Republicans are mere enablers. They and their president would do well to remember who the Watergate source worked for

Dems are in full panic mode.  Afraid the truth will show who the true enablers are, let’s see the memo and all the Texts.   The American people are smart enough to make up their own minds.  We don’t need biased articles!!!

I LOVE the theory that you cannot attack or criticize the FBI especially if it is rife with corruption. Obviously DemoRat logic.

If the FBI and others did half what is being reported and looked into then the FBI and other basically Had Major Basis and Willful, Wanton, Disreguard for the Constitution as well as the American People. That is Upsurping the US Constitution, All Rule of Law and attempting to Take Control of the Government Illegally.....As suck if it is found to be true then I believe it needs to be treated as treason and High Crimes against the Country and the American People.

 

As such the Punishment should be Swift and the Maximum.....Treason is Punishable by Death.

 

By making examples of all these Bad Actors The people will be making a statement that this is how Treason is handles and sending a message to those thanking about doing Ill Again.

 

No more getting the hand slapped and told not to do it again.

The leadership of the FBI has done more to damage the image of the FBI than all the mobsters in history combined.  Comey and the internal leadership who became political have been the ones to do irreparable damage to the FBI.  We need to put blame where blame is due.

Oh No......

If we are a Nation of Laws then let the Law Breakers have their day in Court and if found guilty, send them to jail.  That goes for both Parties. It’s about time the lawlessness of our Government is stopped.  Many who are supposed to be serving us are abusing their power and feel like they are above the Law!!!!!

Yes Pitcher.  People, we must not conflate the issues and accusations of wrong doing - violations of the very laws the FBI is suppose to enforce/protect, with a lack of confidence in the rank and file Investigators of the FBI.  I believe all can agree that what the Founding Fathers of our country correctly anticipated circumstances, whereby members of the high inner circles of this countries political elites, law enforcement and business persons could conspire in a way that could remove the sanctity of trust they are given to do what is best for the common person and the interests of our country as a whole. To protect and serve is the moniker that fits here. I believe that we are at such a cross roads. As the investigatory focus turns off of the smoke screen laid out by the suspects,  and falls  back on themselves (Dems, Republicans, Libertarians) . Well the Founding Fathers also knew that in these circumstances the rank and file members of these agencies will be soiled by the investigation into their "superiors" . Yet after cancer is cut out of the body, the body heals and ends up being stronger than it ever was before. That is what I believe is/will be going on here. It will also rebuild and reinforce the walls that future higher ups must not tear down or otherwise not circumvent ever again. May the guilty receive their just rewards and loose all financial and political gains they made plus a extra penalty as well.
