I really wish this civil war threat tweet would get more play in the media because I’d love to see reporters corner Republican senators and house members, demanding to know why the president is threatening the lives of countless American citizens with literal war on our streets if Congress investigates him. Hell, I’d love to call Isakson’s or Perdue’s offices and demand to know why they’re effectively letting Trump declare himself king and render congress powerless by threatening to kill citizens until his power is regarded as absolute and unimpeachable, but their aides would just write me off as a crazy person.

For now they can play off the “it’s twitter, didn’t read” strategy and Bubba Lardass in Pigs Balls, GA won’t know about it until Fox is forced to report on it.

So when this is over, and whoever is president next gets to the White House and has to pick up all the McDonald's wrappers and diet Coke bottles, will we know the full effects of effectively not having a president for a few years?

Don't forget Republicans and right wing media are going to do everything they can to constantly accuse them of crimes and equivocate them to Trump in order to appease conservative voters demanding revenge for how unfairly their favorite president was treated. I think it will be a hundred times worse than the Obama era tan suit and dijon mustard "scandals".

it will probably hit at somepoint later today. with so much happening. hosed up quotes from dead eyed nutters that trump tweets aren't gonna be news. the "i am like the messiah" quote only got play because it was slow news day.

All it would take is one tweet from the President calling for violence and at the very least you'd have a couple thousand "lone wolves" across the country who'd be willing and eager to act on it.

Since this one was successfully kept covered up for about a month, it would not surprise me if there were othersthat they were more successful with. I had also read about another complaint involving tax shenanigans

I'm not an expert on the matter but if there wasn't an investigation it might not be illegal (which would be a hilarious oversight). Certainly damning though.

i think you're right - the federal statute is pretty liberal overall, but broadly requires there to be a "proceeding" or investigation of some sort happening.

Trump is terrified of the position of power Adam Schiff is in right now. Normally it is delay, deny, discredit. I didn’t think we would ever get to the point where he is calling for him to be arrested for treason multiple times.

I wonder if Schiff is completely stonewalling Nunes and that's part of the reason Trump is so pissed off; his mole isn't getting any information.

I wouldn't trust Nunes with a potato gun at this point.

Nunes would ask the whistleblower only their name, address, and greatest childhood fears to leak if he got to ask them questions.

Twitter needs to de-platform Trump and Rudy. We are really crossing the line here. Trump is threatening the whistleblower, claiming his investigators are committing treason, calling for a Civil War if he is impeached, and he has been using Twitter to manipulate the stock market for years now. You could just throw a dart at this point, because the entire wall is covered in CRIMES CRIMES CRIMES
