Morning Poppers (everyone goes to jail edition)

Good morning lads, it looks like AG Sessions is going to appoint another special prosecutor, this time to go after the real crooks. That’s the rumor, which was cryptically supported by this tweet by Trump.

As far as I am concerned, the more Muellers the better. Everyone gets a turn and no one is denied an opportunity to go directly to jail. This is America, after all — land of the free and the brave.

    Let’s hope we’re not being teased by that fool Sessions and the bitch gets finally locked up. She’ll look so stylish in orange jumpsuit.

      She’ll never wear that jumpsuit. That’s not how things work.

      Snowden reveals the NSA’s illegal surveilance of Americans. No one from the NSA goes to prison, but Snowden is charged. Gen Petraeus leaves TS-SCI information – including information about the identity of covert officers and National Security Council Meetings in his house for his biographer, and gets probation.

      You are naive if you think someoen at Hilalry’s level will spend 1 day behind bars.

        I am afraid you are correct. However, one is allowed to daydream, no?

        If Trump intends to follow through with draining the swamp, locking her up would be a massive step in that direction. It would also send a massive shockwave through the rest of corrupt D.C. that no one is untouchable.

        No one thought Trump could beat Hillary either. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Especially with Trump.

          There is no swamp draining, never was, never was going to be. Just new and improved swamp creatures. Just a lot of people that got played and can’t let it go.
