Do they want a civil war?
It might sound good around the DC cocktail party circuit, whipped into a frenzy by the Lawfare crowd, but the outcome would not be in their interests.
Given the severity of manipulative politics and DC based media in the past several years, I would not take the Washington Post article at face value.
WaPo represents the interests of the Intelligence Community side of the deep state apparatus.
Everything the WaPo creatures write is part of an advanced and coordinated DC engineering effort that has multiple motives; the face value of the one they present is never the real agenda.
We all know why they want Donald Trump removed as a threat to their echo-chambered system of corruption and governmental graft. The entire DC system, including the Stasi DOJ and FBI state police, is based on financial influence, power, greed and corrupt sales of offices. Donald Trump always represented a disruption to their scheming and conniving systems. That motivating truth has never changed.
According to the Washington Post, the DOJ is now putting witnesses in front of a grand jury to solicit evidence to support a “seditious conspiracy” charge against President Trump for attempting to overthrow the United States government and Joe Biden.
WaPo – […] There are two principal tracks of the investigation that could ultimately lead to additional scrutiny of Trump, two people familiar with the situation said, also speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
The first centers on seditious conspiracy and conspiracy to obstruct a government proceeding, the type of charges already filed against individuals who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 and on two leaders of far-right groups, Stewart Rhodes and Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, who did not breach the Capitol but were allegedly involved in planning the day’s events.
The second involves potential fraud associated with the false-electors scheme or with pressure Trump and his allies allegedly put on the Justice Department and others to falsely claim that the election was rigged and votes were fraudulently cast.
Recent subpoenas obtained by The Post show that two Arizona state legislators were ordered to turn over communications with “any member, employee, or agent of Donald J. Trump or any organization advocating in favor of the 2020 re-election of Donald J. Trump, including ‘Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.’ ”
No former president has ever been charged with a crime in the country’s history. In cases when investigators found evidence suggesting a president engaged in criminal conduct, as with Richard M. Nixon and Bill Clinton, investigators and successive administrations concluded it was better to grant immunity or forgo prosecution. One goal was to avoid appearing to use government power to punish political enemies and assure the tradition of a peaceful transfer of power. (read more)
One big note of caution on this entire ridiculous narrative… especially as it pertains to the media construct…. Please, keep in mind that Democrats are getting crushed right now by their own constituents. Democrat politicians are deflated and disillusioned as the people are not happy with the current state of the economy or society overall.
Democrats have been reduced to a small section of the most extreme-leftists and blue-haired suburban leftist women riddled with guilt. That’s the base now. Everyone else is demoralized and deflated. Morale in democrat circles is terrible.
With that in mind, this type of narrative engineering by the political media can also be looked at as an effort to boost morale. Not much more.
Personally, despite knowing how over-the-top totalitarian these DC people have become, I do not see them wanting armed conflict with more than half of the country. An attempt to criminally convict President Trump would be the first shot in a civil war. It would not, and will not, end well.
