Actions That Must Not Go Unpunished

By now we all know that certain key indictments have been leveled against some of the main cast of characters who cooked up not just the pack of lies that became the Trump/Russian collusion scandal, but also involved the more recent 2020 election as well.

And the gamut of those now facing or likely to be facing charges ranges from former FBI Director James Comey who was indicted on charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding; to former National Security Advisor John Bolton indicted on charges relating to his mishandling, transmitting, and retaining of highly classified information under the “Espionage Act;” to former CIA Director John Brennan who, as I write this, has been referred to the DOJ for criminal prosecution after he knowingly “made false statements” to Congress regarding his role in the Russia collusion hoax; to none other than New York AG Leticia James who is now indicted for the same crimes she accused President Trump of in regards to bank fraud of which he was found not guilty. And know that more indictments are sure to come, and rightfully so.

And while said indictment list will certainly be long and telling, two prominent names supposedly will not...at least for now...be on that list as they should be...as in Barack Hussein Obama (the root cause of all the racial animosity and most of the problems we and our beloved America face today), and Hillary Rodham Clinton (of the infamous so-called “Clinton body count list”). And why are both said individuals not on the current list when both persons, in my opinion, were not just part and parcel of all lies and innuendos fabricated against President Trump, but together were the ringleaders that not only wanted to destroy Donald J. Trump the candidate, then president, but Donald J. Trump the man as well.

Also, remember that without what had to be both Obama's and Hillary's direct involvement in also trying to take down Trump in the 2020 election, Joe Biden would not have become president. Just think how the world at large and “We the People” would be if we did not have to face the multitude of problems we and President Trump still face today, all thanks to Joe Biden being Obama's third term in office.

And while some continue to claim that neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton can ever be legally arrested, let alone be federally indicted in regards to the “Steele Dossier” hoax, its corresponding Russian collusion scandal, the numerous coup attempts that were made against President Trump when he first assumed office, or the still ongoing power plays attempting to sabotage Trump's now second term in office, I truly believe those persons might well be proven wrong.

How so...first some background info. Remember, Hillary's 2016 presidential campaign in conjunction with the DNC did indeed pay for the Steele dossier to be constructed, and that back in March 2022, both parties faced FEC charges related to what were considered to be “highly technical” rules regarding funding for the very type of research they conducted, and that said funding was deliberately not disclosed to the public. And when handed what amounted to a civil penalty...instead of what I consider to be a federal crime relating to “election tampering”...the DNC and the Clinton campaign collectively agreed to pay $113,000 in fines, with the DNC paying $105,000 and the Clinton campaign paying a mere $8,000 as the court chose to ignore the illegality of the dossier's made up lies and innuendos.

Simply, with the FEC charges being but a “slap on the wrist” so to speak, the Democrats were able to turn what were uncharged but true allegations into but a cleverly orchestrated, in-our-face cover-up of what truly was Obama's and Hillary's involvement in trying to take down then candidate Donald J. Trump by any and all means possible short of violent intent. And from what was a public placating of the civil charges coupled with the verdict rendered, no federal charges were brought against these two, whom I consider to be traitors to our country.

And so with Joe Biden being anointed in 2020...and note I did not say his legally being elected...we saw both Obama (not so secretly) and Hillary (closeted somewhat from public view) pulling Biden's presidential strings as Joe Biden alone did not have the mental capacity nor the acuity to destroy both America's economy and her reputation on the world stage, but Obama and Hillary combined most certainly did. And so entering center stage into the political discourse was what we Republicans sarcastically yet rightfully referred to as the O'Biden presidency. And said presidency came replete with the puppet master Obama himself and his still somewhat closeted shill Hillary Clinton, in an attempt to not only bolster up mentally floundering Joe Biden, but to destroy America from within by reviving what was Barack Obama's socialist driven, Constitutional republic destroying, “fundamental transformation of America”...with America, Republicans, we in the MAGA movement, and President Trump be damned.

And but one example of this can be seen courtesy of AG Pam Bondi's so-called “strike force” having opened, not too long ago, a grand jury investigation into a number of claims brought by now Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. And the crux of said claims encompassed the fact that the Obama administration had indeed engaged in what was called a "treasonous conspiracy" by their knowingly and willingly using their bought and paid for “Steele Dossier” to push forward onto the public their fabricated claim that Russia...that Putin...directly interfered in the 2016 election.

And yet all these years later neither Obama nor Hillary have been called to task for their involvement in what is probably one of the worst politically generated scandals in our nations history. And why so...because left leaning “legal experts” have stated that thanks to a July 2024 Supreme Court decision, presidents both past and present have “absolute immunity” for what is considered to be “official acts” taken while in office. And with Obama covered to some degree, the fact that Hillary was never president shows this ruling in no way relates to her...so why hasn't she been indicted or better yet been taken away in handcuffs?

But also being lost in the shuffle remains the fact that since when is Obama's trying to interfere in a presidential election...to actually take part in trying to fix both said election and its aftermath...considered to be an above board “official act”...simply it is not.

“There is irrefutable evidence detailing how President Obama and his national security team directed the creation of an Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false, promoting the contrived narrative that Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help President Trump win, as though it were true.” 

- Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, July 23, 2025

These were Director Gabbard's own words that helped to tie Obama directly to what became the January 2017 “Intelligence Community Assessment” after Trump defeated Hillary in the 2016 election. And it was this “assessment” that not only morphed into the Democrats what turned out to be a now nine years long coup attempt against duly elected President Donald J. Trump, while at the same time trying to delegitimize his presidency itself as well as the will of “We the American People.”

So with all that said, misconduct by former President Obama, and former Secretary of State, U.S. senator, and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton...I believe constitutes both acts of “treason” and “election interference” as laid down in our laws.

First...“treason.” As per the Constitution's “Article III, Section 3”...”treason” involves “levying war against the U.S. or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort;” and is also part of federal criminal code “Title 18 U.S. Code §2381” making it a federal crime. In fact, “treason” is considered the most severe of all crimes committed against the U.S., and if one is found guilty of having committed “treason,” they then face a minimum prison sentence of five years in federal prison, fines up to $10,000, and possibly even a sentence of death. But nowhere in the Constitution does it define “war” as solely being a physical act.

And second, with U.S. “election interference” usually being defined as “unlawful acts or attempted acts intended to significantly influence voters, undermine public confidence, or alter an election,” one can easily see how this certainly did occur courtesy of the fabricated, proven to be lying “Steele Dossier”...the dossier paid for by the DNC and Hillary's campaign...and done solely in a concerted attempt to defame and dishonor Hillary's presidential opponent Donald J. Trump both before and then after Trump's 2016 election win. And this indeed falls under the banner of “political origins” that even a blind man could see.

And yet, as previously stated, mere “civil charges” were what was filed regarding the “Steele Dossier's” origins  ...something I believe to be a true miscarriage of justice that not only let the perpetrators get away with their nefarious deeds committed, but saw deliberately being overlooked the fact that with there being no statute of limitations in regards to certain federal level crimes, then why haven't charges of “treason” or charges of “election interference,” been leveled against those in question? To me, one possible answer might be that in doing so it could well create a Constitutional crisis unlike that which we've never seen before, especially with the two key players involved.

So while, to date, no charges of “treason” or “election interference” have been brought against either Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, that does not mean that legally, on the federal level and with the right prosecutor in place, that it cannot be done even now especially with there being no “statutes of limitations” regarding the crime of “treason.” And nor does it mean that a legitimate “whistleblower” cannot come forward to blow the lid off the cleverly crafted cover-up that is still in place...whether said “whistleblower” be someone simply trying to do the right thing or someone attempting to “make a deal” so as to temper down what was their involvement. And also remember that “treason” has never been Constitutionally defined as solely being a physical act of war, as war itself on the political level can be as dirty as war fought on the battlefield.

And as for “election interference” it's my opinion that again both Obama and Hillary can be so charged with the right legal prosecutor in place. How so...because even with the statute of limitations regarding campaign finance crimes and the 2016 election having occurred nine years ago, and with the 2020 election occurred five years ago, that does not mean that all the i's have been dotted nor all the t's crossed. 

 

For example, Section 245(b)(1)(A) of Title 18 of the U.S. Code addresses interference in elections by force or threats; while 18 U.S.C. §595, prohibits government employees (of which technically Obama and Hillary both were} from using their official authority in connection with federally financed activity to interfere with or affect a federal election, also with a time limit not specifically mentioned.

But again that's for the legal experts and Constitutional scholars to delve into, as I'm just presenting what I believe to be possible options for what I consider to be both election crimes and treasonous acts committed by the aforementioned individuals. And I believe said actions were so vile that it might have, with a different election outcome, changed the very fabric of our Constitutional Republic forever. And if we came so close in 2016, and again in 2020, there is no guarantee that said actions won't surface again in 2028. Case closed.

Op-ed:

Election 2024...Hopefully Not 2020 Revisited

By: Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / Right Side Patriots / Right Side Patriots Radio 

The Op-ed posted here is this authors opinion alone,and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.com or Google  

 

The ABC News three-on-one debate is now one for the history books and history will not treat that fiasco too kindly, especially with Obama's “anointed one” getting few if any bumps in the polls for her performance...and polls this close to an election are a critical, albeit not always right, gauge as to an election's outcome. And with us having bore witness to what was not a debate but an orchestrated...and thankfully failed...attempt by ABC's liberal mouthpieces to derail the “Trump Train,” instead backfired on them for the one who gained the most from their overt bias was Donald J. Trump. How so...because the latest polls show that what were undecided Independent voters are now leaning Trump while moderate JFK-style Democrats are also distancing themselves from the very woman who was part and parcel to the economic, border, and crime fiasco we find ourselves in today.

But why bring up Kamala Harris' debate performance here...because she knowingly did not play by the rules just as she has not done so as vice-president...ignoring our “on the books” immigration rules being but a perfect example. And besides, it was suspected that Harris was privy to the debate questions beforehand so as to spew out her memorized statements while not answering a single question asked...again not playing by the rules.

So where does that now leave Kamala Harris as even CNN is questioning some of her statements? I believe it leaves her facing the proverbial “handwriting on the wall” that even the sure to come “voter fraud on steroids” will not be enough to put her over the finish line as it did with her and Biden in 2020's presidential election. 

Things are different this go round as Harris is now falling behind what were Joe Biden’s numbers regarding certain key demographic groups...as in the all-important black and Jewish vote. In fact, some projections show Trump actually garnering at least 18 percent of the black vote... the highest number since 1972, while Harris is projected to see the lowest number of Jewish voters since Michael Dukakis ran in 1988. But can you blame them for Trump created more jobs for black Americans than this current administration has; and for those of the Jewish faith most know well that Harris is no friend to Israel nor is her VP pick Tim Walz as can be witnessed by their public statements regarding the happenings of October 7th and their lack of statements regarding the recent executions by Hams of six Israeli hostages.

But no matter these truths or even what takes place between now and election day regarding the political discourse is the fact that the 2024 presidential election will ultimately be decided by the Electoral College for he or she who wins at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes...votes cast by each states appointed “electors”...becomes the next President and Vice President. And if neither presidential candidate receives the needed 270 votes, then the House will choose the next President as per the candidate who received the most electoral votes.

Simply stated, it is the Electoral College that chooses our next president no matter how hard the Democrats push for the “popular vote” to determine a presidential election outcome. In fact, the Electoral College is what separates us from what's commonly known as a “pure democracy”... something the Democrats try hard to resurrect each time a presidential election draws near. And the fact remains, whether some like it or not that these United States is not now nor has she ever been a “democracy”...no matter how much yelling and screaming goes on by what more times than not is the Democrat party hierarchy, the very hierarchy that seems to champion across the board “voter fraud.”

Remember, the “popular vote” as it now stands is not a “proportional vote” as per a state's population as laid down in the Constitution, which is one of the reasons why our “Founders and Framers” set-up the Electoral College in the first place. And in this wise move they made sure to do away with “democracy's” definition of being that of “mob rule,” the very thing they wanted to be no part of the new nation they were forging.

However, and this is key, there is leeway of sorts built into the process regarding the time frame as to when an official “certified” Electoral College winner is declared. In other words, the Constitution does not state an actual dedicated time frame for when certification must take place. A perfect example of it taking a long time to certify an election winner saw modern “precedence” being set during the contested 2000 presidential election between Republican Texas Governor George W. Bush and Democrat Al Gore who was vice president under Bill Clinton. And it was this razor-close election...an election where the Democrats claimed “voter fraud” was being committed by the state of Florida in regards to what they said appeared to some not to be fully “punched through” voting cards.

And this foolishness lead to the election's winner having to be decided in the end by the Supreme Court. George W. Bush was ultimately declared to be the presidential winner by 537 votes, thus putting Florida in Bush's column. This resulted in the Electoral College vote then being 271-266 no matter that Al Gore had won the so-called “popular vote” albeit even here by a very slim margin. But the bottom line is that to rightfully declare a presidential winner took over two months after the election was held.

And so what was called the “Hanging Chads” fiasco of 2000 did resurface again in 2020 but under a very different guise, this time with suspected voter fraud being perpetrated via the Democrat's push for mail-in ballots and ballot “harvesting;” machine tabulation tampering; massive amounts of supposed uncounted ballots showing up in the middle of the night; folks especially in blue states needing no ID nor proof of legal residency to vote; and sadly via a somewhat even more sinister route courtesy of Trump's own turned out to be backstabbing Vice President Mike Pence. How so...simply by the fact that Pence was vehemently unwilling to do what the 2000 election had already done by setting “precedence”...as in legally securing allotting time for official “certification” to take place so that all charges of “voter fraud” or “irregularities” had been investigated and determined whether to be true or not. And the fact is that only allotting time for an investigation to take place would have settled the still to this day being disputed actual certified vote count.

What would have been a simple delay in certification was all that was needed...and Pence knew this to be true...yet he willingly chose to side with the Democrats and their mob based mentality, and approved the certification and announced Joe Biden as America's next president while accusations of fraud were still on the table. And this was no matter that Pence knew election “accusations” were being raised even while voting was still taking place. And so the man spewing out misplaced “conscience” rhetoric coupled with a liturgy of misinformed Constitutional discourse was simply too damn scared of personal repercussions to take a stand and do the right thing...in other words to act like not only a man but as a strong, still at that time, Vice President as well.

So why exactly do I bring up Mike Pence and what happened in 2020 now in regards to this November's election? The answer is really quite simple...as in because we might be facing a similar situation...albeit “flipped”...in less than 50 days time as I write this.

How so...because Kamala Harris, Obama's anointed one, in her still current role as Vice President would be the one certifying the November 5th election whether she was to win the presidency or not. An interesting thought indeed. And here modern day precedence was also set when on January 20, 1989 George W. Bush was sworn in as America's 43rd president, after having certified his own election win. And know, as fact, that Kamala Harris would be the one to certify her own election win...something we hope will not be the case...no matter if election discrepancies or accusations were still part of the public and political discourse.

But, and here is where it gets more than a bit dicey for would Kamala Harris willingly and in a timely manner certify an election win if Donald J. Trump were to be elected president, even if the results of his win were indisputable? Better yet would Obama politically allow said certification to take place knowing it would deny him his coveted “fourth term” in office, and would Hillary Clinton allow Kamala Harris to be sworn in as America's first woman president...the position she so coveted? Something tells me I think not on both accounts... not without a knockdown, drag out fight at least. You think 2000 and 2020 were bad...I think you ain't seen nothing yet!

And that alone brings up another perplexing question, if Harris denies certification to Trump how long this time will we go without a declared new president, and when and if would the U.S. Supreme Court step in? In 2000, on December 8th...a full month after the then November 8th election took place...the Florida Supreme Court finally ordered what's known as“inter alia,” as in a manual (by hand) recount of ballots for all Florida counties where so-called “undervotes”...the infamous “hanging chads”...had supposedly not been subject to manual tabulation. And on December 12th the election was finally declared in favor of George W. Bush. In other words America went 34 days without a newly declared president. But that was in days before 9/11 changed America and the world forever...simply it was in much less dangerous of times. In today's ever volatile world can America afford to be without an officially declared leader for days let alone weeks or months...I would surely think not.

But here's a suggestion...maybe all contested elections...presidential or not...must be subject to “manual recounts” no ifs, ands, or buts. Sure it takes time and money to do so...lots of time and lots of money...but isn't a fair election worth both time and money...I would think so but I assume the Democrats would think not. And herein lies the crux of all election problems...the Republicans want fair elections, the power hungry, must remain in control Democrats do not. So much for “election integrity”...Mike Pence and his 2020 overt cowardliness proved just that, as does the fact that history could repeat itself if lessons go unlearned. Case closed.
