Poll regarding the 47 idiots and a response

[TheKentuckian]

42. I just don't believe they acted illegally in this case and find it weird this is the thing

the look forward, off the table, truth and reconciliation chorus is actually out for blood on.

This isn't even the worst shenanigans involving Iran. I think the dirty tricks on the hostage situation was closer to treason and Iran - Contra far greater disregard for the rule of law.

Here it is salting negotiations on a non binding agreement and now people want 47 sitting Senators arrested with some calling for hangings for treason.
Willfully damaging the full faith and credit of the US and reducing our bond status with there crazy shut down hostage taking was far worse but the same folks weren't nearly as hot with wrath.

Don't get me wrong, they are being insanely irresponsible and stupid here. Completely disrespectful and possibly dangerous but it is relatively low grade stuff compared to what gets a pass and can be called "a policy difference".

Torture we can get past but a fool ass letter is worth a push to the wall?

Keep it in the media, call them out, talk about undermining our national security, and stop making excuses to do nothing no matter how heinous the criminality unless it is a personal affront then anything goes.

Of course I'd be happy as hell if the 47 were hauled off but I admit I'm not so comfortable with this why because in a different circumstance I'd feel it is perfectly legitimate to salt a toxic effort by a hypothetical President and wish Reagan and Bush had been given way, way less deference and think the world and America would be far better for it.
