Have each suspected of this silent coup attempt, isolated from each other and other congress members.
Have them sworn in during testimony.
Have the questions submitted to and asked by one investigator.
Make sure to include a question of whom they have spoken with prior to their statements (congress, DOJ, and etc..) Subpoena those person also.
Have the process witnessed by 6 silently watching sequestered (no outside access) members of congress for the complete process.
Issue a Federal Judge level Press Blackout for period of collection.
Video tape the process and post ALL unedited video footage on the INTERNET for PUBLIC & MEDIA REVIEW.
Issue warrants for Treason and Sedition as determined by the SCOTUS Judges.
Arrest and Jail w/o bond any one leaking reports before the official release is done.
Public trials and testimony just like the Reagan hearings of the 1980’s.

Yeah, I like ‘Counterpart’ also. Read somewhere that they were shopping it to other outlets (Netflix/Amazon etc) in hopes of continuing the series.

Richard Saunders,

‘Counterpart’ really is a fantastic show. Unfortunately, I hear that Starz canceled it. JK Simmons is terrific. I was recommending it to all my friends but apparently, I didn’t recommend it enough.

For many citizens, I’d imagine, these conspirator’s actions have severely damaged—if not destroyed—any reputations for adherence to the Law, honesty, integrity, fairness, even-handedness, loyalty, patriotism, and competence of the Federal Departments and Agencies they headed and/or worked for might formerly have earned and enjoyed.

It’s like seeing a President firing the person in charge of investigating Al Qaeda’s 911 attack, in order to stifle that very investigation…then bragging about doing so to Al Quaida.

By Rowan Scarborough – The Washington Times – Thursday, April 25, 2013
“Before the Boston Marathon bombings, the Obama administration argued for years that there is a big difference between terrorists and the tenets of Islam.

A senior White House aide in 2009 publicly urged Washington to cease using the term “jihadist” — asserting that terrorists are simply extremists. Two years later, the White House ordered a cleansing of training materials that Islamic groups deemed offensive.

Now, some analysts are asking whether the 2009 edict and others that followed have dampened law enforcement’s appetite to thoroughly investigate terrorism suspects for fear of offending higher-ups or the American Muslim lobby.”

Indeed.
This is the image that the Left wanted to conjure when they attacked the CovCath boys: to them, anyone wearing a MAGA hat must be a Nazi.

Manju’s post gives heart to an old science fiction fan like me. There really are parallel worlds! (BTW — have any of you seen “Counterpart” on Starz? It’s terrific!) In Manju’s world, “inviting the Russians to the White House” is treason! Allowing the Russian state photographer to take pictures of the Russian ambassador visiting the White House is collusion!

In our universe, expelling 33 Russian diplomats, closing two Russian “facilities,” building up the U.S. military, getting NATO members to meet their own commitments to increase defense spending, reducing Russia’s GDP by 15% or more by keeping oil and gas prices around $50-60/bbl, trying to get Angela Merkel to buy U.S. natural gas instead of Russian LNG, sending U.S. troops to Poland, Romania, and the Baltic States, sending U.S. ships into the Black Sea, sending arms to Ukraine, bombing Russian airbases in Syria — excuse me, bombing Syrian airbases that happened to be manned by Russians — and killing 200 Russian soldiers in Syria (the first time the U.S. has killed Russian soldiers since 1921!) all show a President who is harder on Russia than any president since Reagan.

I figure Manju’s universe diverged from ours around the election of George W. Bush. Soon the world’s will be so divergent that no communication will be possible. Then, WAR!
