    This is their plan. They’ll arrest a few different elected state officials on bogus federal charges, and then find a conformant puppet to get out in their place. Then they expect all the other duly elected officials to fall in line and stop resisting.

    This is a Russian playbook. Plain and fucking simple.

    Freedom! Can’t you just smell the “libertarian” viewpoint being expressed here? Not to mention the notion of “states rights” being employed in local representation?
