OK . . . So do you really think that the Democrats and the FBI and CIA and the wheels of our

government have what it takes to arrest Kushner and dRump for treason? Really . . . Everything these idiots have done is enrich their private pockets, fire the Director of the FBI, and work with - I say work with rather than collude because collude conotes a desire to be secret - there is no collusion they overtly asked for their assistance in throwing this election to dRump. My question is in 2017 does this government have the guts to charge these traitors with treason? It is not enough to remove them from office - they need to be put away and the hierarchy of the GOP who colluded with dRump et al need to be dismissed from government and charged with aiding and abetting traitors for person and political gain!!!!!

We don't have to worry about what the FBI and CIA are going to "charge" Trump with.
They're doing the investigation but not the prosecution.

To be clear, it's very hard to prove treason even if the country were at war. (and we're not)
But espionage would be much easier to prove & get a conviction.

First off, the arrest isn't gonna come from the Democratic Party or its elected officials. That's not how things work. It will come from the FBI, or a federal grand jury, or on behalf of one or more state AGs. And these things take time to process. I get that you're not feeling that right now - neither am I. But I've accepted that right now what we need to do is 1) survive 2) don't panic 3) talk to as many people as possible who're willing to listen & reason. Our immediate focus is getting enough of these people out of office on every level - then we can focus on fixing the damage and figuring out safeguards to prevent it from happening again.

Second, we're not living in textbook times. These people can collude in plain sight and get away with it because of the divided atmosphere and poisoning of the media with propaganda/misinformation. Right now there's still ~38% of the country bending over backwards to believe all the shit being shoveled from Fux Gnus, Sinclair, AM radio and the rest of their fake news outlets & twitter bots. That's what we're up against.

over the last 8 years be chipped away at until it's 2000 all over again? At some point this has got to stop! And liberals need to stop say "well if HRC had won" the lectionaries! She did win! Voter suppression - not counting all the votes and the miss information spread by Comey, Giuliani and the NYC FBI cabal - lead to a less than 100,000 vote defeat on Election Day. I'm not saying she should replace him - but liberals should not be willing to to let this orange ass and the GOP ride this investigation out for 4 years!
