Witch-Hunting for Trump
The American Spectator ^ | May 18, 2017 | Ben Stein

Posted on 05/19/2017 5:15:42 PM PDT by Truth29

There’s no evidence whatsoever of any crime, so expect major convictions. I have heard about “Witch-Hunts” all of my life. When I was a small child, Senator Joe McCarthy (R-Wis.) and the House Un-American Activities Committee were said by the left-wingers to be on a “witch-hunt” for Communists in the government. That’s what the left alleged against Richard Nixon when he was a young Congressman from Yorba Linda, too. The allegation was a bit misleading, though, because as far as we know, there are no such things as witches. There’s Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi and they are not nice, but no one could prove that there are even such things as witches, let alone that there are witches in high office.

But there were Communists and Communist sympathizers and friends of our murderous enemy, Stalin’s Russia, in high places in government. One need only mention Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter White, at State and Treasury respectively, to make the point. There really was something worth looking for — traitors who were demonstrably agents of an enemy.

Now, we have a new kind of witch-hunt going on against the administration and the person of Donald Trump. The allegation is that there was some kind of control of the 2016 Presidential Campaign exercised by the Russia and that the control ran by some kind of collusion between Russia and Donald Trump. And now, with the appointment of Mr. Mueller as a Special Prosecutor in this case, we see a REAL witch-hunt hit high gear. This one is a REAL witch-hunt because there is no evidence at all of any kind whatsoever that there was any collusion with the Russians by Trump. There is no evidence that the Russians controlled Trump or anyone in his campaign.

This Republican party can go to hell for all I care. NONE of them are sticking up for Trump. Where’s the outrage by them?

I said right after the election that Trumps first order of business as soon as he took office should have been to do everything he could to see to it that Hillary was locked up because she is NEVER going to stop trying to destroy him. That was a huge tactical error on his part.

Well, if Trump weighs the same as a duck, they might have a case . . . .

I read that the acting FBI Director (Andrew McCabe) is a Democrat who’s wife received Clinton money to campaign (and it wasn’t disclosed and it is criminal).

Comey was never going to prosecute Hitlery. He’d covered for them for decades. He claimed that it was an innocent mistake. Her actions were evidence of decades of repeated behavior to destroy evidence, tamper with witnesses and intimidate witnesses, buy off testimony (pay them to lie under oath as they’d done with Monica Lewinsky). And somehow he comes up empty handed. Corrupt to the core.

Time for new blood, not blue bloods.

Oh, and Fakecheck says Hitlery didn’ know nuttin’! Same as when Snopes claimed that maybe Hitlery’s mama lied to her about “Sir Edmund Hillary”.

“There’s no evidence whatsoever of any crime, so expect major convictions. I have heard about “Witch-Hunts” all of my life.”

There were witches in The Crucible. They danced naked in the forest. The commie line is that you can’t take their testimony against others to be credible evidence and those pursuing such charges are the real menace.

Stalinists lie. Always

They love Bradley Manning’s treason. They celebrate that he is leaving prison early and without a dishonorable discharge. And it was Barack Hussein Obama who made it so.

They lie lie lie about loving this country and national security. Anything at any time. Lie out of both sides of their mouth. Don’t even wait a week to do so.

It is showing how hysterical impeach movements can be created out of whole cloth

Indeed. This Globalist MSM engineered coup d'etat to overthrow Trump also shows that the opposite is true. Real scandal, when committed by a UniParty™ approved politician of the left, can be poo poo'ed away and ignored my the MSM.

Orwell missed the mark by several decades but we are living in 1984, every year, year after year.

Notice the language the MSM uses: Trump “leaked” top secrets to the Russian. Now, if anything, Trump may have “released” information to the Russian, but it is impossible for Trump to”leak” a secret. He has the authority to release those things.

The American people can be dumb. But they aren't stupid. And if there is nothing against our president that is even remotely criminal the constant braying and searching down the rabbit hole by the Left and the Lame Stream is going to become beyond old. The recount went nowhere. The tax return thing seems to have evaporated. There is no ''collusion'' anyone can point to with Russia. No one even hears the question about exactly what the ''collusion''was supposed to be about let alone answers it. We who supported him and voted for him won an election and put our candidate in office and now it's time for him to deliver on what he ran on. For the good of America. It's time to start getting on about the business of the nation.

Remember When Obama Gifted Vital U.S. Intelligence to Cuban Spies?

In one of his closing acts as president, Obama ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to “share” information with the terror-sponsoring, drug-smuggling Castro regime.

I notice Monty Python was able to find plenty of humor in the way people behave, but none in witchcraft itself.
