Are people going to start turning up dead?

Is that too far out to contemplate or too Putin-y even for Trump? Even though my tinfoil hat might be on too tight, things are so weird - things that used to be completely unimaginable - that nothing would surprise me any more.

released, Christopher Steele operation doesn't either because they don't want to out sources. Out sources could be a death penalty.

When Trump came into office, and Flynn was in NSA, someone was leaking because several Russians were killed. That one man pulled from a meeting with a bag over his head. Russia must love theatre, but rule of law? Not so much.

Why has Mueller not come out with more indictments? With all the stories that have come out I
would think there would have been a few by now?

...will start further following the example of authoritarian regimes? The people who were OK with torture?

We can hope they are better than that as a whole, but they've won power through sheer brazenness, and it would be remiss to not wonder if some of them, facing ruin, might not push the envelope further.

I'd suspect a wave of 'non-co-ordinated' crimes and accidents would hit some lower level key targets first.

They're already stymied when they try their high profile brownshirt rallies.

They haven't had a large scale terror attack in a high population blue area, to allow them to give an order to roll tanks down the streets. They know the US public, and the world, won't let them get away with that.

What???

Is this the same Trey Gowdy of "Bengazi" investigation.... whose head almost exploded about the whole situation and anything related to classified info handling? How does he feel about Devin Nunes, this whole memo (and its various versions) and the handling of classified info?

What was his position on all of these activities of Devin Nunes? What is his role in all this?

OMG....we literally have Traitors and enemies of the state running our Executive Branch and Legislative Branch....and what Trey now wants to head over to the Justice Branch too?

It wouldn't even surprise me if they took out one of their own and claimed the FBI did it "to cover up their (alleged) misbehavior." You know...one of those "false flag operations" that they are so smitten over.

Yep. Nothing they do surprises me anymore, either. They all deserve to be put in front of a firing squad. Every last one of them.
