1. Prosecution is the right thing imo...
But many of the perps will leave the country before they're held responsible. Dubai is a nice place to live if you've become filthy rich on the backs of the American people.

3. I'd go for martial law and immediate arrest of all Republicans. We're in a civil war, after all.

4. I firmly believe that the reason we are in the mess we're in today
is because Ford pardoned Nixon and stopped the Watergate investigations. If this hadn't happened, Karl Rove would have been exposed for the thing he is, and would not have been able to raise in the ranks of the GOP to wreck havoc with elections.

6. Do you think that a Special Prosecutor operating on the side would impede any of those things?

8. No--in fact I think it will make it easier to pass legislation
because the truth will come out about all the corruption and people will want the changes.

11. Oh, I don't know.
But I do know that the Democratic Party has a pretty shitty track record of getting anything of substance done, so I'd prefer it if they prioritized sensibly.

13. Convict The Bastards!
The New Democratic President must -- simply M.U.S.T. -- investigate ALL of the crimes committed by the current regime.

Then the New Democratic President must assure that everyone in the current regime -- starting at the VERY TOP -- are convicted of the terrible crimes against the people of the US and against Humanity that they have committed.

THEN, the New Democratic President must assure that the guilty are Punished. Severely. Very Severely.

No More Criminals in the White House! EVER!
