The coup failed - now who pays?

From Conrad Black's The absurd collusion delusion goes up in smoke at last - It was amply documented that the Russians meddled in the election and made repeated efforts to associate with the Trump campaign, but that all such overtures were rebuffed:

The unearthing of the anti-Trump conspiracy will produce shocking revelations of misconduct by high intelligence and federal police officials; this is the last stop before the outright intervention of the armed forces: tanks on the White House lawn and generals and admirals commandeering television stations to announce the overthrow of the government. It will all be sorted out in a way that discourages a repetition. This is the scandal and the menace, not this unutterable bunk about collusion with Russia. Trump countered the hostile 80 or 90 per cent of the national media with his dominance of the talk shows, local media, social media, and the powers of communication of his office. He is, in his way, a very effective communicator, and he maintained his army of supporters intact in a very hostile media climate. He is already rising in the polls now.

The Russians did, however, actively help Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and those facts are out in the public (if you look for them) and not denied by Stein. In fact, she specifically pointed to her Russian support.

Nobody has ever raised a peep about this once they started going after Trump. Including NBC, which reported it:

QUOTE:

Stein's 2016 campaign was heavily promoted by RT. She hasn't spoken much about the RT dinner, but in an interview with NBC News last fall, she deflected questions about her appearance, instead chastising the U.S. media for not paying attention to her campaign while RT gave it a lot more attention.

"And my own connection to RT, you know ironically, it takes a Russian television station to actually be open to independent candidates in this country and that is a shame. A shameful commentary on our own media," she told NBC's Alex Seitz-Wald. . .

(Stein did well enough to help Russia achieve its aims. Her vote totals in the crucial states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan were all greater than Clinton's margin of defeat, and arguably denied Clinton an Electoral College victory.)

. . .In the year following the dinner, RT was part of the Putin government's overt attempt to influence the U.S. election, according to the U.S. Intelligence Community. In the January 2017 report on Russian interference, the IC discussed the network's role at length.

"RT's criticism of the U.S. election," said the report, "was the latest facet of its broader and longer-standing anti-U.S. messaging likely aimed at undermining viewers' trust in U.S. democratic procedures and undercutting U.S. criticism of Russia's political system. RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan recently declared that the United States itself lacks democracy and that it has 'no moral right to teach the rest of the world.'"

Jill Stein declined an NBC News request for comment.

I hate to be cynical, but I don't see any of the seditious conspirators even being charged.

Correct. The conspirators are Democrat darlings and know where a lot of bodies are burried, which means they're above the law.

I do expect a sudden large increase in suicides among them though, using means like a rifle bullet to the back of the head while driving a truck into a concrete wall.

We have the perfect model for how to bring these treasonous criminals to justice. Appoint a bulldog special prosecutor and have them indict and squeeze these conspirators under threat of spending the rest of their life in jail. Once appointed they are unstoppable. May I suggest Judge Jeanine Pirro for the job.

+1 on Judge Jeanine Pirro

You’re kidding. The coup succeeded. Bolton is acting POTUS, and Trump is a figurehead.

I suggest that Trump put on his Hercules outfit and divert the river around DC to run thru ALL Executive Branch offices and wash them out.

Well here's one little fella who's paying.
