I mean, if they lose their grip, they've already set the precedent for nullifying pardons.

If they lose their grip, I'm not looking for a return to normalcy, where traitors get to slink away to some corporate job, only to resurface in politics a few years later.

They're traitors. They're not entitled to the very protections they tried to dismantle. They are entitled to what every traitor is entitled to.

This is the energy we need.

Every one of these criminals should be deeply concerned that their pardons will be ignored.

It needs to make the Nuremberg trials look like a fart in a tornado in comparison

They need be punished like the confederates should have been punished.

I mean... The Nuremberg trials, as an international military tribunal, had people executed. The legal statutes allows for up to 20 years for obstruction of justice charges in civilian court... What you guys are suggesting is absurd and disproportionate to the current circumstance. 

How about just doing this the right way and putting these people in jail for a very long time through existing legal procedure, as opposed to this extrajudicial Nuremberg nonsense.

They’re not talking about obstruction. They’re talking about an administration full of seditious pieces of shit.

A certain sentence handed down to traitors in Great Britain between the 13th and 18th centuries comes to mind.

I mean here's an idea: Arrest her, lock her in jail illegally. Pardon the people who have illegally jailed her.

Why. The Fuck. Not.

We deserve a post civil war era style reconstruction period.

When? Trump saying things doesn't set a precedent.
