I suppose this was inevitable.
For months, congressional Republicans have complained that the impeachment of Donald Trump was delaying important policy, repeating the mantra “get back to work.” Now that the impeachment process is over, they are instead pushing for new investigations in retaliation.
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham essentially admitted this plan on Fox News on Thursday, previewing Trump’s remarks set for the afternoon. “I think he’s gonna also talk about how just horribly he was treated and that maybe people should pay for that,” she said.
Full details on the targets at the link. They include the inevitable Hillary, Hunter Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff and the anonymous Whistleblower. The Treasury Department has already swiftly sent to the Senate committees precisely the sort of financial information on Biden that they withheld on Trump.
Thankfully, the House is in Democratic hands, but that won’t stop the Injustice Department from bringing phony criminal charges against Democrats.
If we win the election in November it is absolutely imperative that the people attempting to impose fascism pay a price. As an easy example, Rand Paul, who has repeatedly attempted to out the whistleblower should be shown the inside of a prison cell, as his conduct is and was criminal. Bill Barr can be his cell mate. Those pushing fascism must be made to pay a price. It is at least marginally possible that none of this would have happened if Nixon had spent some time behind bars, and the precedent of exempting Republicans from the legal consequences of their crimes had not been set.
If we lose the election, then our only hope is for the sane states to reopen the question of secession. The country will be fully fascist if four more years of Trump are imposed upon us.
