Off with their heads
GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio said former President Donald Trump’s statement in which he suggested executing Hillary Clinton campaign aides was “right on target” on Sunday.
Jordan, a staunch Trump ally, was reacting to the 45th president’s Saturday statement on a new court filing by the special counsel John Durham, reported by Fox News.
The filing said that former aides to Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign paid a tech company to access servers belonging to Trump Tower and afterward the Trump White House in an effort to find links to Russia.
Trump’s dealings with Russia are a private matter. That’s why he talked to Putin alone, that’s why he seized the translator’s notes after one of their private talks, that’s why we don’t know to this day what he and Putin talked about.
“This is a scandal far greater in scope and magnitude than Watergate and those who were involved in and knew about this spying operation should be subject to criminal prosecution,” Trump said.
“In a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death.”
While trying to overturn an election and seize the Capitol by force would have been rewarded by pots of money and an all-expenses paid vacation in Uzbekistan.
It’s been rather difficult to find good reporting on this issue, but the nearest I can tell is that Durham was appointed by Barr to find out why the FBI investigated Trump’s ties to Russia. That the current drumbeat is being banged by the RW media who claim that Clinton ordered spying on Trump, but that really it turns out to be more of an allegation than any sort of actual evidence-backed subpoena.
And we are supposed to think that this calls for a capital crime?
I’ve really grown to loathe politics since Trump decided to run for president. It knocked off our collective IQ by about 20 points.
