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.

Missed the site terribly while it was down but my blood pressure was normal for the first time in 3 years :)

Had to talk with the wife though after she found out it went down and it shot right back up.

The complete hyped up outrage over Trump disclosing the plot to use laptops to bomb planes (which had already been released in the media, code name or not, and the discussion at the meeting was leaked to the press without any outrage aimed at the leaker of national security information) pales when compared to the GENUINE national security hits by Bradley Manning (celebrated in the media this week and championed by Barack Hussein Obama) and Mr. Obama himself opening our missile sites to Russian tours/inspections.

Hitlery. As usual.

She said she’s resisting. Meaning the peaceful transfer of power is over, she ain’t giving up. What a LOOOOOOSER. May she die of alcoholism.

The media has far more power that Conservatives gave them credit for. The message for several years is that the MSM is dying. It is not. It is showing how hysterical impeach movements can be created out of whole cloth and that 24/7 360 attacks can bleed the Administration like the death of a thousand cuts. The Uniparty includes the media and they are intent upon overturning the election and showing those that voted for Trump that they have no power. We need opinion leaders to turn out the base to confront the enemy which includes Ryan and McConnell and show them what is going to happen if they succeed in removing Trump.

The Left wanted to impeach Nixon in his first term. Watergate provided them the excuse and it didn’t happen until he was vying for his second term.

Classic, if you want to know what the Marxists are up to, just look at what they are accusing other of doing.

Obama was being flexible with the Russians. Hillary was dealing nuclear material to them.
and now they are accusing the Trump of helping the evil Russians.

I bet Kim Jong Un is envious of our tireless and devoted to “the cause” media.

= = = = = = = = =
They also harassed ‘W’ on a daily basis.

I believe they were trying to impeach him for using the ‘wrong’ brand of toilet paper.

Of course the ‘W’ shots across the bow were paybacks for the impeachment of WJClintoon.....

“as far as we know, there are no such things as witches”

The statement is problematic.

It’s not even a witch hunt.

They know he’s innocent.

It’s survival.

I said time and time again if he does try to drain the swamp they will come at him hard. They are. I expect him to weather it. The man is appointed by God, IMHO.

But if they take him down all bets are off and Trump supporting Americans must choose this hill. Otherwise America will be figuratively taken off life support.

Here is how the drivebys go after Trump and why.

Its all there. operation mockingbird is still a go.

Trump is literally being attacked by a rogue intelligence agency, the CIA

Operation MOCKINGBIRD — The CIA begins recruiting American news organizations and journalists to become spies and disseminators of propaganda. The effort is headed by Frank Wisner, Allan Dulles, Richard Helms and Philip Graham. Graham is publisher of The Washington Post, which becomes a major CIA player. Eventually, the CIA’s media assets will include ABC, NBC, CBS, Time, Newsweek, Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, Hearst Newspapers, Scripps-Howard, Copley News Service and more. By the CIA’s own admission, at least 25 organizations and 400 journalists will become CIA assets.

There are elites who want war with Russia and foreign governments that who want Russia pushed aside in Syria.

I see that in this picture.

This is a witch hunt

The media are the puppet masters

The media reporters are pure evil lying communists pretending to be unbiased journalists.

The media doesn’t report news but only fake news and lies meant to take out Trump

The media is the enemy of the American people and of Trump.

When will we point out and fight the enemy?
