This has never happened before so what should be done?

We have a group of traitors in the Executive branch, maybe even some in the Congress and Senate. When Mueller lays out the evidence that include indictments of many high ranking in leadership positions, we can not wait for impeachment procedures, that may or may not happen. I think that anyone indicted needs to be arrested and immediately removed from positions of power, to prevent major destabilizing events. My question is: Do you think that people in the FBI are secretly preparing to act, and to arrest those who will be indicted for treason? Is this a situation for military courts because the commander in chief is involved? Will this be considered a coup if handled this way?

This is indeed unprecedented. Not even sure the constitution will reign supreme here.
What about the SCOTUS?

I read DU everyday and have for years but I don't log in every time. When DU was hacked last year, I never logged in for months because I was afraid that my computer would be hacked, as well. Why do you ask?

That the FBI is some sort of "shadow government?"

.... just wandering how things could be handled since we are living through unprecedented times. We can't leave suspected traitors in power. BTW You ask why I post so little, maybe the responses I receive are mostly combative and sometime I don't want to deal with it .... but I have learned a lot from the way of expressing myself online and that has be helpful, regardless. I am trying to choose my words to make myself clearly understood.
