Investigate, prosecute, punish. Lock traitors up so they can do no more damage to American democracy.

(5,499 posts)Our Constitution does not have anything place to really address that. But I do think we'd see a great technology backlash. Even if we had impeachments and resignatipns, we can't truly address the wrong until 2018 and 2020.
Would public outcry force resignations?
People will really freak if it came out about how much of our personal data is in files is accessible in off-shore environments, especially in the banking industry.

(81,323 posts)That old cliche - "the Democrats fall in love, the republi-CONS fall in line." They stick together alright. They're gonna have his back till it damn near kills them (or costs them their jobs - the same jobs that come with that wonderful free taxpayer-paid-for health care, among other nifty little perks).

Kushner is a crook. He will probably flip to save himself and his real estate business.

(81,323 posts)That building on 666 Fifth Avenue - that's financially underwater that his family can't get rented so they can pay off the horrendous debt they incurred to buy the damn thing in the first place. I could easily be mistaken but as I understand it, acquiring that building was HIS decision. And he's risking the entire family fortune on a very bad miscalculation. So no wonder he went around fishing for money. And now he's in even deeper trouble.
I bet if anybody's gonna flip, it'd be him. Flynn too, I bet. He's used to that impressive dress uniform festooned with all his flashy military decorations, so I'm sure he doesn't fancy himself being issued one of those humiliating orange jumpsuits. From what I've heard and read, Flynn's already singing like the proverbial fat lady.

(1,148 posts)I got that feeling when he dubbed himself the Middle East whisperer. That whole family's misguided confidence is causing a lot of problems. That they're in the Whitehouse, for instance.
calimary
(81,323 posts)I think it's mainly because that whole family has never had to face ANY accountability. None at all. They were masters of the private sector and that was how they've always been used to operating. They had nobody looking over their shoulder, nobody asking a lot of pesky questions, nobody digging into everything they said - any and all of whom they could simply fire. Or sue. Or threaten to sue. No stockholders or boards of directors in their many privately-held companies to have to answer to or report to or explain themselves to or show any ledgers to.
The government DOES NOT operate that way.

(24,737 posts)So paternalistic! I get why, but let the chips fall!
I wish Obama had disclosed all last year. I mean, is this outcome preferable? Sure, he was confident Hillary would win..
The pee tape is real...?
Bernardo de La Paz
(49,011 posts)Paternalistic, no way.
Demanding disclosure too soon can mean that an agent is not repatriated in a safe timely manner, or that methods of intelligence gathering are revealed.
Patience, please.

(49,011 posts)I really do appreciate people wanting to know and get Republcan tRump out of there before he does any more damage. I should have said that as well in my reply to the poster.

Also, I have a bias toward transparency. Never an easy call.

(49,011 posts)"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated" -- Thomas Paine
