Voters are ready to jail or fire senior law enforcement officials who illegally targeted President Trump, but most think they are unlikely to be punished.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone and online survey finds that 52% of Likely U.S. Voters consider it likely that senior federal law enforcement officials broke the law in an effort to prevent Trump from winning the presidency. Thirty-nine percent (39%) say that’s unlikely. This includes 36% who say it’s Very Likely they broke the law to get Trump and 24% who say it’s Not At All Likely. These findings are virtually unchanged in surveying since February of last year.

This ought to be treated as a serious threat to our democratic Republic, treason if you will, with extreme sentences for anyone convicted of engagement. Instead it is just more garden variety political skullduggery, "worse than Watergate". The prisons, recently cleared of non-violent drug convicts, ought to be filled to overflowing with minions in the law enforcement and intel communities who failed to protect and defend this nation from enemies foreign and domestic. And cells in the Colorado SuperMax are too good for the ringleaders, which may include a former US President.

Those who tried to subvert my vote should receive severe punishment. Bankruptcy for paying lawyers' bills, as so many who were innocent were bankrupted. Jail time. Tar and feathers.
If a severe example is not set, someone else will do it again, and soon rather than later.

Yes, what #1 said. A majority of voters believes thinks government officials can break the law and get away with it. This undermines the rule of law, one of the fundamental principles that protects our freedom.

"Firing," yes, but my definition is a little different from the one in the article!

Firing shouild be just incidental. Prison time, in decades long chunks should be handed out "liberally". Hah.

Totally agree with #3. After all, they were trying to surreptitiously "KILL" our entire form of government and replace it with a form of tyrannical rule.

The jail time should just be until the gallows can be built (we're going to need quite a few, running 24/7) or until a firing squad of volunteers can be gathered and supplied with ammo.

Essentially meaningless unless and until the agencies that employed and enabled these acts, and thousands of others over a period of many years, are not completely ABOLISHED, the persons employed there FIRED, and no similar agencies and departments to be created, EVER.
The rot did not begin with Ovomit or W or Clinton. Been going on, certainly with the FBI and major sections of Treasury, pretty much since the beginning.
There is no, repeat, NO, justification under out Constitution for a Federal Police Force. Referring to the Attorney General, or the FBI Director, or the like, as being "chief law enforcement boss" for the United States is not only wrong, it's disgusting. Go read the histories of, say, Imperial Rome. Or of the Byzantines. Or Imperial China or Japan or the Ottomans. Agencies such as this ALWAYS become the Secret Police, ALWAYS become a unchallenged and unchallengable power in their own right, ALWAYS serve the agency and the minions thereof rather than the people or the nation. ALWAYS. NO exceptions whatever. Keep law enforcement at the state (occasionally) or local level with the employees accountable to the citizens. The feds certainly aren't, and obviously aren't accountable even to the Chief Executive, or we wouldn't be having some of these issues and discussions.

The seditious coup members of these many rogue federal institutions should be indicted, and if/when found guilty should be HANGED until dead. Save the bullets as these criminals are not worth the expense. Rope is cheap - as are they!! MAGA!! KAG!! Let's not forget all the enemedia who chose to be a part of this going conspiracy of revolt!!

Democrats will be against any kind of punishment. They don't like law enforcement, as seen at the street level with their abuse of police, ICE, Border Patrol, etc. They certainly will not want the DOJ to enforce any laws!

Some need to be fined,
Some need to be jailed,
Some need to fined and jailed.
Some need to be fined, jailed and executed.
Some need to disappear like Jimmy Hoffa.
