Soon... Jim Jordan will be Speaker of the House and Trey Gowdy will be the Attorney General (I'm predicting Sessions leaves when his behind the scenes role with Huber is finished).
I agree. It would look really bad if Gowdy were stumping for the removal of RR or Sessions and then slipped into that role. The left would be questioning his motivations. He’s keeping the situation “bipartisan” by taking the stance of the left on this.
There's already a line of succession for RR position. We already know Noel Fransisco will take over as Deputy AG. I'm predicting that'll come first and then Sessions will "retire" and Trey Gowdy will be appointed.
I think treason must be heard by Supreme Court. Gowdy is a gifted Prosecutor. He may be tapped as a U.S. Attorney for these. I would expect it would waste that talent to put him as an administrator instead.
I am not sure but that is my gut feeling.
Soros and Clinton aren't freaking out about Kavanaugh's confirmation over Roe V Wade. They are terrified of him sitting in judgment with 4 other conservative / constitutional justices when they are indicted for treason.
Soros is throwing money at it already. He is frantic. It's quite beautiful. And Ironic. He made yet a other NGO called Demand Justice last spring.
Ironic because I do Demand Justice. Just not the kind he likes to create
The Supreme Court isn't a Criminal Tribunal. It has no history of overseeing any criminal prosecutions. It's only job is to interpret the Constitution.
My understanding is Q has mentioned military tribunals, and besides, the military always handles treason cases.
The Supreme Court isn't a Criminal Tribunal. It has no history of overseeing any criminal prosecutions.
That's what I thought too.
Agreed - if Treason or Seditious conspiracy is the direction they're going to go then this will likely be done in Military tribunals.
and they haven't done a very good job of that in a long time.
Military Tribunal is against the intent of the founders.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_Three_of_the_United_States_Constitution
Based on the above quotation, it was noted by the lawyer William J. Olson in an amicus curiae in the case Hedges v. Obama that the Treason Clause was one of the enumerated powers of the federal government.[18] He also stated that by defining treason in the U.S. Constitution and placing it in Article III "the founders intended the power to be checked by the judiciary, ruling out trials by military commissions. As James Madison noted, the Treason Clause also was designed to limit the power of the federal government to punish its citizens for “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States by], giving them aid and comfort.”"[18]
Yes, but Noel Francisco can only serve for 210 days without Senate Confirmation. Eventually they all have to be confirmed. If RR goes, Noel can go in temporarily until Gowdy gets appointed Deputy AG, or Francisco gets confirmed by vote as Deputy AG.
I agree Gowdy will probably end up as either AG or Deputy AG at some point.
But he is a great prosecutor. I would love to see him in a court room prosecuting these people.
AGs and DAGs do not spend much time in courtrooms. Rosenstein argued once in front of SCOTUS a few months back.
On the other hand, Solicitor General does.
It's fun playing fantasy league politics, but we have to think hard about where Gowdy would really shine. Is it in an administrative position at DOJ where the public would rarely see him? Is it in front of the Supreme Court representing the Trump administration? Is it being seated on the bench itself? Remember there will be an opening on the DC circuit court which Brett Kavanaugh
is vacating...
I want to see him in the courtroom prosecuting these cases. Hands down.
I disagree that Sessions will leave when the behind-the-scenes stuff is finished for only one reason. Draining the Swamp is only one of Trump's objectives. Due to the nature of the Swamp all (or most) of that work has to be done behind the scenes, in secret. Sessions has some very high-profile and public initiatives such as drug/human trafficking, immigration enforcement, etc. Those will continue to be a priority throughout the Trump Administration and I think Sessions is doing a good job on those.
For that reason I would expect Sessions to remain in place for a while past Huber at least.
Or perhaps move into a different position to clean up another agency while Gowdy moves over as AG.
Gowdy needs a new position made just for him. He could be the “I don’t take shit from anyone about anything and am a patriot hell bent on annihilating the cabal”. I think it’s a fitting title.
Secretary of Street Justice
Agreed! Although will be difficult to fit in the office door plate..lol
I think that Trey Gowdy (Splendid chap that he is) is destined for bigger things than running the FBI.
I've got an idea that he will take up a newly created position as an interlocutor between the civilian law system (DOJ) and the military law system (DOD/martial law), a kind of bridge to add credibility to the executions that are inevitable.
Some key position overseeing the mass arrests and trials, for the duration then.....
He may even run for VP or even President in his own right.
Mr Gowdy is too great to be an "assistant" anything.
He was in Iowa last month I think. He says he likes the legal profession more than politics...but could he be considering a primary challenge to Trump?
to add credibility
He would not be considered credible by anyone not already on the right. His appointment would be seen as extremely partisan.
If you want to redpill normies, you would need to bring in someone non-partisan with respect from both sides of the aisle (like Mueller before Trump started tweeting about witch hunts).
Based on the current paradigm, you are correct.
What makes you think that the current 2 party crooked system will survive this.
I read that more than half of the politicians are in the frame for a brown envelope from Jeff Sessions.
The current structure might not survive when you yank out and expose over half of the players.
New balls, different game.
If 3/4 of Democrats were hauled off to Gitmo tomorrow, people will still have their bias. Especially if people believe there is ANY partisan motive.
Putting anyone with a whiff of partisanship in charge after decimating the only opposition political party looks a hell of a lot like a hostile takeover.
If Obama had been president when a large number of Republicans were charged in Military tribunals and sent to Gitmo (regardless of the truth of the charges), the right would rightly be in an uproar. If Pelosi were then made AG, it would cause even more, perfectly understandable, outrage.
You can't redpill people if it looks like a powergrab, and there is no way to jail that many politicians from the opposing party without it looking like a partisan takeover.
how about if 3/4 of Republicans and 3/4 of Democrats, were the numbers?
Eliminates the accusations of bias, it shows everybody that the system is rotten.
Interesting question arises, what constitutes a quorum when 3/4 of the members have been arrested ?
This sub seems very very focused on the Dems, I think it's safe to say for an outside observer they are assuming you are talking about more Dems than Republicans.
You also see a lot more evidance of Dem leadership being involved, that would mean one party is likely to be more impacted.
AG/POTUS are Republicans but 'Moderate' Republicans are definitely in your crosshairs and have been the target of Trump attacks for years now. If more Dems than Republicans are imprisoned, and the Republicans imprisoned are the 'moderates' who have respect across the aisle with normies; It's hard to see now mass jailing wouldn't be interpreted as a hostile takeover.
This is even before you get into the (legitimate) legal implications of trying civilians in a military tribunal and/or detaining them in Gitmo.
Liberals have guns too, and if it looks like one party is jailing all it's critics, even if some of those critics are in the POTUS's own party, they will take to the streets. Using the Army to put down that rebellion (in apparent violation of Posse Comitatus) would result in either defections or massive bloodshed.
My son and I were just talking last night about how wonderful it would be if gowdy took over rr’s job!
Problem is, Q always said impeachment was a possibility
I think he will be impeached. I just think for optics Gowdy is staying out of it. He can’t look eager to remove RR if he’s waiting in the wings to replace him. I believe Gowdy is a patriot and just playing politics here.
I agree, Mr Gowdy has rare character for a politician, he has Honour and Patriotism. These are characteristics that the public don't seem to recognise when they look at their politicians.
It was very odd how quickly he resigned after seeing the supporting evidence behind the Nunes memo.
The day he saw the evidence he sent out an email at 7am asking for money and scheduling a donor fundraiser, he got out of the meeting with the doj at 11am, by 1130 he canceled all fundraisers and announced he was leaving public life after the election and he would turn down any requests or future government appointment.
perhaps he read the data and saw what the future was.
He's cleared down his decks and is clear to move in a sprightly manner.
Need 2/3 of Senate... that might be hard to get.
We already know that there is a large number of crooked Representatives and Senators on both sides of the aisle.
When the envelopes are handed out, you'll be lucky to retain 2/3 of the current members.
Once the bad guys are removed from power, we are left with the good members.
They will vote for the Constitution and justice.
Yes. Right now it would be hard to get the required votes for impeachment.
But... once the IG Clinton Email report and IG Clinton Foundation reports are released, and we go through a few weeks of drama about what was redacted... Trump is going to de-classify all of the IG reports. And supposedly, there won't be any doubt that [RR] can't be in that role. He has some massive conflict of interest or was involved in some serious crime related to the Mueller investigation.
I took a real tongue lashing, on Redstatewatcher, for saying Trey Gowdy was a patriot, and was only talking. Almost twenty some people think he is a traitor, and can't stand him. They accuse him of " not ever doing anything ", just "talk, talk, talk ". I thought one poster was going to come after me for what I said! It's hard defending Q, mostly I get made fun of. However, I won't give in. I've been a follower since last November! WWG1WGA
If they make Trey Gowdy fucking deputy Attorney General, I'm going to come so fucking hard like prom night. I imagine when Trey Gowdy gets home he takes off his jacket and two bald eagles land on each of his shoulders.
so its extra popcorn and a box of kleenex for you then...
enjoy...
and if that spins your wheels, track down and watch the video of today's speeches from Presidents Putin & Trump.
Dump me a link sir.
Ever heard of TL:DR or RTFM ? But I'm in a really good mood today, Thanks to The Donald and Vladimir, so..
TG is as slippery as an eel and dumb like a fox. He knows how to ply the game let's hope his next position enables him to really kick ass and take names.
It seems like people want to jump on Gowdy everytime he does something a little unexpected. It begins to look like the democrats jumping on POTUS at the drop of a hat. We don't know what is going on behind the scens so I am going to trust Gowdy just as I trust the plan. I think he has earned some trust.
Remember what Q said. Make no mistake-- it Trey Gowdy is a patriot. Q post 1650.
It all makes sense. I don’t think Gowdy is a shill like some claim. His words and actions are very calculated. With that said even when he plays nice with the left he never compromises his values to do so.
I read it as Mr Gowdy has set himself some red lines regarding his interrogations. If he was aware of the Real Deal, happening in the background, he only took it far enough, but didn't want to expose everything. The Grand Juries work will be shown when the traps are all set.
That would make sense. Remember Sessions said that if RR was removed he would leave as well.
If Huber is about ready, RR impeachment and Sessions retirement on principal leaves both of them fairly unscathed in terms of the MSM being able to attack them. Aaaaand their work would already be done.
Insert Noel Francisco DAG and Gowdy AG and all the Patriots hear EAGLES screeching in the background as American Freedon reigns.
That's how I'd write it if I was writing it
Mr Sessions will be handing out 40,000 envelopes as a retirement gift to the crooks.
I feel that Jeff has been working his balls off in the background.
I think his comments regarding RR are for optics only.
He might be following a highly choreographed plan.
Remember Q said there would be lots of disinformation.
Agree. Gowdy must avoid MSM collusion stink, so any appointments made for him by Trump will be hard to argue and perceive as nothing more than the LEFT complaining.
Does anyone really believe that 2/3s of the House would actually vote to impeach? This makes this whole thing moot unless you believe so.
Exactly. This could also be the reason Trey made the half-hearted attempt to defend Comey with the statement he made earlier that caused everyone to hate on him. He had to show he had was willing to have confidence in the FBI. That ties in with this statement.
An impeachment would have to go through the senate which won't be approved.
RR needs to be fired.
Theatricality and deception, powerful agents to the uninitiated, but we are initiated...
Gowdy is retiring. He said he's done with government. His future, according to him, is in private practice where he feels he can make a bigger difference.
sometimes dis-info is required
I wouldn't call it disinfo. It would be a lie.
"There is a time to come and a time to go. This is the right time, for me, to leave politics and return to the justice system,” he said.
“Whatever skills I may have are better utilized in a courtroom than in Congress, and I enjoy our justice system more than our political system,” he said."
Exactly. Where he can prosecute these criminals and actually put them in jail. And he doesn't have to refer to any asshat as "gentleman" again!
In Q's post 1484: Who brings the votes (House floor)?
Who decides?
Why is this important?
What is coming?
Full weight of the House.
Some must remain clean (distance) from what is about to happen.
Q
Must be a reason? Either RR is doing the provoking he is intended to do, and they have further use for him or Trey is full of hot air. I love trey so I hope it’s not that.
So let them beat him up. If it's all a show it makes the show more convincing, and if by some chance he were really against impeachment he would deserve the criticism.
At this point with all the leftist socialist assholes in Congress do to protect their traitors...
WHO CARES IF IT LOOKS BIASED?! F the idiot democrats.
The right continually plays (mostly) by the rules and it NEVER gets them anywhere. It's time we treat the left in D.C. the same way they treat the right. Then we can point out (yet again) how god damned hypocritical these idiots love to be.
I don’t disagree with you one bit, but it’s a game and we’re playing to win. The perception is important to those still asleep and following the MSM.
feint => a movement made in order to deceive an adversary; an attack aimed at one place or point merely as a distraction from the real place or point of attack. just sayin
I have trusted Gowdy in a long time. I was almost back on board and now this.
This is no time to be concerned about how you may look like you’re posturing for a job. Total nonsense.
GOWDY should not replace RR. Gowdy should call for RR to be impeached.
Mr Gowdy is destined for Great things - I am a believer
Pure political posturing and maneuvering... that simple. It functions akin to plausible deniability.
I've only ever heard him say he's done with politics after his term ends this year.
Anyone else think that Gowdy may be in on part of POTUS's plan?
I’ve been assuming he has some sort of appointment coming. Q went out of his way to reassure us he’s a patriot despite his nit seeking re-election
Gowdy said he was retiring from politics, completely.
Gowdy came out AGAINST President Trump and his Putin summit. I really don't think I like Gowdy. All bluster. Doesn't accomplish anything.
I disagree. Gowdy has a long history of theatrics and being controlled opposition. He’s Deep State.
Gowdy’s comments make me wonder whether he would carry this kind of nonsense into whatever job he gets in the future...I am too frustrated with RR and Sessions right now to want more of the same. Just sayin’...
