    I’m not worried. I think it’s awesome. What a thing to behold.

    Yeah, I can't see BHO even getting an official reprimand. As with many of the others (Lois Lerner, Eric Holder) his actions will be exposed but they'll soon be forgotten. Some of the lesser functionaries, given the scope of these wrongdoings, will get the majority of the punishment.

    Rep. Liz Cheney Says Govt Plot Against Trump ‘Sounds Like a Coup’ and ‘Could Well Be Treason’

    There are 4 events that terminate a presidency legally - death, impeachment with guilty verdict in the Senate, Application of the 25th amendment or an election loss. Any other action aimed at terminating a presidency would be treason in my view. If I were the democrats, I would concentrate on the 2020 election. The other three simply aren't going to happen.

    I agree. I think that when all is said and done it will play out pretty much along those lines. The worst that will happen where the political Left is concerned is a combination of the permanent trashing of Barack Obama's official image as a political saint and another full exoneration of Donald Trump across the board.

    Thanks for seeding this. I was going to seed it from another source last night but fell asleep before doing it. You got a big response to her excellent statement.

    What I find interesting is that the Left had absolutely no problem with certain Dem Party politicians calling Trump a traitor and someone working for Putin -- which would make him a traitor -- and yet the very same leftists cheering on that sort of messaging from their leadership want to have a collective aneurysm over Liz Cheney pointing out that plotting to take down a legally elected president by illegally manipulating the justice system is both a soft coup attempt and potentially the actions of traitors. Now suddenly the political Left doesn't endorse such . . . talk or terminology.

    1) There was no "soft coup" attempt.

    2) There was no "treason" (except on the part of Trump).

    3) Cheney even using the term "coup" brands her as a RW Tinfoil Hat Looney Tune (completely unworthy of being taken seriously).

    Surveillance with a warrant signed by a judge is legal. If Obama personally ordered people to spy on Trump or anyone else without obtaining a warrant, that would be illegal and therefore criminal. Is there any credible evidence suggesting that it happened? If so, please cite evidence.

    It depends how you get that warrant. If you scam the judge by withholding valuable information then it could be much worse

    Of course there is NO evidence.

    Some guy on 8chan made up a story, and (as usual) the RW Tinfoil Hat Crowd considers it gospel.

    Yes there most definitely was a soft coup attempt. The only question remains is how far up the Obama administration era ladder the political collusion went. Placing one's head in the sand and pretending that the mounting evidence is meaningless is an interesting leftist hobby; but it won't halt the various investigations currently underway . . . and nor prevent the resulting facts from being made public.

    Curious that mueller reported Mifsud as a person with Russian ties when he has ties to US, UK, and Italian intelligence services.

    I agree 100%. There was no spying, no coup, no treason. Trumpanzees are hopeless.

    You're going to have a problem proving a negative so it's best to wait until the investigations are complete and the results are in.

    Anyone even vaguely literate in the Constitution knows she's wrong. Hate to rain on the "hey, maybe we can find a way to execute people for hurting the President's feelings" parade. The murder fantasy is just going to have to stay a fantasy.

    We aren't at war with anyone that these people aided. For the Constitutionally literate, there is no need to wait.

    He's talking about the sane world where Crooked Hillary got dope on Trump colluding with Russia by colluding with Russia.

    Yeah, those people who bought that lie and think Crooked Hillary only did legitimate oppo research from Russian sources while Trump is being justifiably persecuted for not doing what she did. Those people are sane.

    Actually, considering the sad showing that she made in 2016 with the MSM joining forces for her against Trump and yet still losing her own rigged election it might be more accurate to say that she COULD have been a contender.

    Is it as crazy as the president being accused of being a Russian mole? Yet you’ve run with that lie for 3 yes now. It’s far more believable a bunch of Dems using the govt to get rid of the opposition than something insane like Trump working for Putin.

    good luck with that, Comey was a republican and he controlled the FBI

    Trump asked Russia publicly to hack the DNC and don't forget the Trump tower meeting, Individual 1 is just lucky sitting Presidents can't be indicted
