Reflections From a Murky Pond

We, the People are finally getting a fairly large amount of credible and legally actionable evidence that Obama deliberately misused America’s intelligence community to thwart President Trump’s first election and to undermine him after he was elected. There are numerous calls for him and many others, including former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former CIA Director John Brennan, former FBI Director James Comey, and former national security adviser Susan Rice, to be prosecuted for Treason and/or Sedition. But can former federal officials be prosecuted in the Russia-Trump collusion hoax? That is the question that arises from the recent actions of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.  

Dir. Gabbard has released declassified documents over what she describes as a “treasonous conspiracy” that was “directed by then President Obama” to provide “manufactured intelligence” that “Russia had helped Donald Trump get elected.” This was despite contradictory intelligence analyses that said the exact opposite: that “Russia had neither the intent nor the capability to try to ‘hack the United States election.’” 

What federal criminal statutes might cover what is alleged to have occurred? What could they legitimately under the law be charged with- and convicted of, without torturing the statute in a manner like Alvin Bragg did?

I can understand why Gabbard described it as a “treasonous conspiracy,” but the federal treason statute (18 U.S.C. § 2381) isn’t legitimately applicable. The misuse, even Obama’s gross misuse, of federal power to target a political opponent is heinous, but Treason, as a crime, can only be applied to someone who “levies war against” the country or “adheres to [its] enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere.” 

Similarly, Sedition statute (18 U.S.C. § 2384) can only properly be levied against “two or more persons” who “conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States … or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States.” As there was no force involved in what happened, the standard for Sedition charges hasn’t been met. 

So, the two most serious, most bandied about, and most emotionally satisfying charges, Treason and Sedition, have to be left off the table… if we, as a nation, are going to even pretend to respect the sanctity of the law. But, Obama and his cabal can still be charged in federal court.

These federal charges are quite applicable based on the evidence we have and prosecutorial precedent. Those charges are: Conspiracy to Defraud the United States(18 U.S.C. § 371); 18 U.S.C. § 1512(k) (Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding); Obstruction of and Attempt to Obstruct an Official Proceeding (18 U.S.C. § 1512(c)(2)); Conspiracy Against Rights (18 U.S.C. § 241). 

And, in a case of exquisitely delicious irony, these are the same charges that Biden’s hitman, Jack Smith filed against President Trump. 😆 👿

Oh yeah! And there’s this problem with the Treason charge as well. 😉

This is an apt, sarcastic representation of what is actually happening. Anyone and everyone questioned about Biden’s mental state while in office and/or the usage of the autopen during his installation in the White House has repeatedly pleaded the Fifth.

Well, that’s the strongest evidence possible that it wasn’t Biden, but other people and/or organizations – who knows which were foreign and which were domestic – were running the shitshow that was the Biden Regime.

Yeah, that’s about right. One, the only way AOC would personally reject capitalism is by writing in only lower-case letters. Much like her mentor and possible sugar daddy, Bernie Sanders, socialism and wealth redistribution are for other people. 😆 But, she also seems dumb enough to actually think writing in minuscules is rejecting capitalism. Then, AOC probably thinks that “majuscule” is a Harry Potter reference.

But hey! So far, she’s the front-runner for the Dems’, 2028 Democrat presidential candidate, though I think that Newsom is actually more likely with AOC being handed the VP slot on their ticket.

Yeah, our domestic enemies do tend to waffle back and forth on some things, mostly dependent upon who’s accused and/or making the accusation. This is especially true when it comes to Presidential elections and even more so when Donald Trump is involved. Back in 2016, they cried out that Trump stole the election with the help of Russia. Then, in 2020, they rejected his accusation that the election had been rigged and proclaimed that the elections can’t be stolen. And now, with President Trump’s return to office, they’ve gone full circle and are claiming that he stole the 2024 elections. 🙄

That, based upon all the available evidence, is the reason. Cancel Culture was created because the Left can’t survive in the Free Market of ideas any more than they can succeed in a Free Market economy. And, I don’t mean that their ideas and agendas can’t survive; I mean they, themselves, can’t survive in the presence of conflicting opinions, beliefs, or facts – at least not healthily.

These are the sorts who claim quite stridently that opposing viewpoints are violence, sometimes to the point of “genocide.” They seem to truly and strongly believe that any viewpoint other than theirs is an actual assault upon them, upon their specially protected segments of society, and now upon democracy itself. 🙄

So really, the creation of Cancel Culture was a self-defense mechanism. They had to do something to silence dissent to save their lives. Hence, it shouldn’t be much of a shock that they’re growing ever more violent as the days go on.
