As they say, we should be careful what we wish for. I smell a witch hunt - or at least a grab for money. In my estimation, there are several people now proposing an investigation that should be investigated themselves.

It's interesting that you mention the French in this context as they famously tossed out everyone and everything in their little revolution 200+ years ago. By the time they were done breaking every institution and beheading anyone remotely in charge, they'd created such a vacuum of leadership that the mob finally turned on the leaders and most of them were quickly dispatched.

A reading of the Salem witch trials will lead one to the same conclusion. When there is a frenzy of retribution, the end game is likely the persecution of the leaders as the mob realizes both sides were in on the game and their loyalty to the accusers was ill advised.

Ditto, Joe McCarthy.

We've not had a good witch hunt in this country for 50 years, the mob, I mean the people, just might be ready for a blood letting.
