During the years of the Muellar investigation the terms “treason” and “sedition” have been prominent in many discussions of the legal penalties appropriate for the government officials who set the witch hunt of President Trump underway and then prolonged it as far as possible. Now that the investigation is over and the President was not indicted, the full power of the law must be applied against those who deliberately robbed the republic of more than two years of its life solely because they lost an election and hate the man who beat them.
In other words, this episode is not finished, and it will not be complete until the Department of Justice cleanses itself and the FBI of those who began and abetted the witch hunt, and the President orders the directors of NSA, CIA, and any other participating federal agency to do the same. The number involved in this fraud probably will be in the hundreds. Ideally, all such disloyal people should be indicted and tried for their illegal behavior, but at a minimum they must be publicly named, fired, disenfranchised, and permanently banned from future employment with the national government.
For the high-ranking civil servants and politicians at all levels involved in the witch hunt, now is not a time for Americans to engage in the forgiveness and reconciliation they have shown themselves capable of in the past. In many ways, the past two-plus years posed more of a threat to the republic’s survival than the civil war. At worst, a Confederate victory would have would have created two North American republics with nearly identical Constitutions. A victory for the unconstitutional, Obama-led witch hunt against Trump, on the other hand, would have led to the removal of a legitimate president for no reason save his foes’ hatred and lust for power; the further accretion of power to the federal government; the federalization of elections, the simple description of which is tyranny; the end of, at least, the Electoral College and the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments, and open borders and unlimited immigration. The legal retribution against those who have acted in a manner meant to destroy the republic must be precise, as fair as possible, and it must be conducted in public, go wherever the evidence leads, and led by prosecutors who proceed remorselessly.
On the issue of treason, it seems likely that an indictment of Barack Obama would lead to a trial in which he would be found to have met the Constitution’s definition of treason, and would be convicted and, if justice prevails, executed. We already know, for example:
–That Obama asked Britain’s sigint agency and government, through Susan Rice passing on his request, to maintain its clandestine coverage of Trump, For this we have a document signed by the head of UK’s sigint service that was passed on and approved by Britain’s foreign secretary.
–That, at Obama’s request, Britain’s Mi6, with the Italian, Australian, and Israeli intelligence services, worked with parts of the CIA and FBI to wreck Trump’s campaign and, afterwards, to overthrow his administration. All of this assistance had to have been arranged by former CIA Director John Brennan, and none of those services would have given him the time of day on such an issue if he did not have, and prove that he had, Obama’s authorization to do so.
That, to reconfirm the foregoing, we know that the multiple “foreign governments” that Obama enlisted to attack the republic have interceded with President Trump and asked that he not declassify documents showing that they knowingly and willingly assisted Obama and his lieutenants to try to stage a coup d’état against a legitimately elected U.S. government.
Obama’s deliberate arranging of this already well-documented and large-scale intervention by foreign powers to subvert a presidential election and then a sitting administration must surely meet the Constitution’s rightly rigorous requirements for a treason charge and, ultimately, conviction.
Another of the Founders’ foremost teachers among the English republicans, Algernon Sidney, nicely summarized the meaning of a country’s leader secures the assistance of foreigners to attack his countrymen:
And whatever Prince seeks assistance from foreign Powers, or makes Leagues with any stranger or enemy for his own advantage against his people, however secret the Treaty may be, declares himself not to be the Head, but an enemy to them. The Head cannot stand in need of an exterior help against the Body, nor subsist when divided from it. He therefore that courts such an assistance, divides himself from the Body; and if he does subsist, it must be by a life he has in himself, distinct from that of the Body, which the Head cannot have. (1)
Replacing the word “Prince” with “Obama” catches exactly what Barack Obama apparently did to attack all Americans in an attempt to destroy their republic, their liberties, and their independence. He deliberately separated himself from the citizenry and now stands isolated and deserving of being described as the treasonous enemy of the Constitution and equality before the law. Such an allegation of treason must, of course, be proven beyond the shadow of a doubt in open court proceedings.
That said, if Obama is indicted for his seeming treason and is convicted, I pray that the rotten bastard swings.
