PoliticusUSA / The Daily: Trump Allies Threaten To Criminally Investigate MSNBC And Rachel Maddow

PoliticusUSA / The Daily - Trump Allies Threaten To Criminally Investigate MSNBC And Rachel Maddow

Trump's allies are stating that they want revenge, and they are targeting high profile media like 'MSNBC and Rachel Maddow for criminal investigation.

Is it possible to be drunk with power before being empowered? This is a valid question, and America is about to find out the answer because Trump’s allies want revenge for the previous four years. With Trump ally and person obsessed with revenge Kash Patel potentially in line to serve as Trump’s next FBI Director, things could get very real in a hurry, as the Department of Justice could soon turn against the free press.



The Guardian reported on the musings of Steve Bannon at a Young Republican Gala in New York:

“We want retribution and we’re going to get retribution. You have to. It’s not personal, it’s not personal,” Bannon said to the raucous room. “They need to learn what populist, nationalist power is on the receiving end.

“I need investigations, trials and then incarceration. And I’m just talking about the media. Should the media be included in the vast criminal conspiracy against President Trump? Should Andrew Weissmann on MSNBC and Rachel Maddow and all of them?

“We want all your emails, all your text messages, everything you did. You colluded in a conspiracy with Merrick Garland, Nancy Pelosi, Lisa Monaco and Jack Smith,” Bannon said, name checking the attorney general, former Democratic House speaker, the deputy attorney general and the Trump special counsel.

Instead, they'll fall like dominoes unless someone stands up.

So disappointing that ABC caved in so thoroughly. Now is the time for bravery, not cowardice. I can only imagine how our media truth tellers are feeling at this precarious and dangerous moment in time. Damn them to hell who brought this upon us.

You just go right on calling it what it is....retribution. Pain. Payback.

You are making it crystal clear the underlying motives and actions. Leave no doubt in peoples mind. It will make it more difficult to be able to try to say otherwise when it happens. It will be much more difficult to make a case for anything but what you say. Yell it from the mountain tops.

If per chance, people really were hood-winked let's show behind the curtain.

Go Stevie Go!!
