1. DAMN RIGHT!

[RockRaven]

2. Given elected GOPers' apparent propensity for criminal behavior (esp. campaign finance abuses)

the Freedom Caucus should really think about whether they want to go to war with the DOJ/FBI like Trump has... it isn't going so great for him so far -- and he's their boss!

3. How to deal with a bully?

You stand up to him!

4. If these assholes actually tried to impeach, there would have to be aninvestigation of the charges,

and once that Pandora's box was opened, I believe the house of cards would come tumbling down

5. Fucking Rethug cowards!

6. I think this is a lot...

... bigger than we realize. Those are significant words, and implies criminal behavior on the part of those making the threats. I don’t think Rosenstein would use that word lightly. This is the most significant development we’ve seen in a while.
