Some GOP senators have pretty much signaled that Trump can use the security clearance revocations as much as he wants to punish critics. In fact they are pretty much saying they won't stop him no matter what he does. So he could fire or pardon everyone involved in the investigation or guilty parties in his circle.
It looks like Trump has free reign altogether.

I think there are enough patriots left in the government and military that they will take matters into their own hands, should the elections be tainted. Trump could find himself walking down the road with Abraham, Martin, and John--who will proceed to shove him into the ditch which leads to the pits of Hell.

(32,086 posts)The other way lets him off easy. I'd rather he has a very, very long, and miserable remainder of his life behind bars. But, I wouldn't be sad if some pissed off CIA agent or well-armed, pissed off rube took matters into their own hands.

(11,885 posts)The American people will signal they'll go to prison after they lose control from being voted out of office for their treason and corruption against this country, and the American people will speak loudly against these criminals, especially trump. Everyone should remember this at their sentencing hearings.

But someone needs to take them aside and say; "hey, you remember when Dems come into power to fix your fucked up shit and say stuff like 'it's time to heal', or 'we need to look forward' ,or, 'it makes no sense to prosecute these people'"? Remember that?
Well, not going to be that way this time. The first thing we're funding is MORE CAGES in GITMO!!!
The first Democrat who says any shit about healing or moving forward BEFORE these merry band of traitors are in prison should get punched in the throat

Except Corker, Flake and McCain.

(2,199 posts)Have they voiced support for revoking all the security clearances he wants without repurcussion? If so, can you post an article with names of GOP senators who have signaled support of what hes doing? Thank you!
