Trump Accuses FBI Agent of ‘Treason’
Wall Street Journal (via Sputnik) ^ | Jan 11 2018 | Rebecca Ballhaus

Posted on 01/11/2018 3:29:15 PM PST by smileyface

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said Thursday that an FBI agent once involved in the special counsel’s Russia probe committed “treason,” and he called for Republican investigators in Congress to conclude their probes swiftly.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Trump, unprompted, labeled as “treason” a text message written by Peter Strzok, an agent at the Federal Bureau of Investigation who until late July was a top investigator on the special counsel’s team investigating whether Russia colluded with associates...

Hillary and agents of the FBI colluded with foreign agents to create a coup.

"We live in a post-constitutional, full spectrum surveillance state. This isn't 1776 where patriots could organize with a modicum of privacy. 1984 was inevitable - the threat of the technological scientific state was recognized by civil libertarians and welcomed by aspiring tyrants. "

You got that right. Your comments remind me of a post I found a while back...Not sure who the author was, but it's in a similar vein. It should be called the "deplorable manifesto"

The way I see the last several decades, whenever the Stupid Party wastes effort on class, dignity, and manners, the Evil Party rams it right up their hineys.

There are things that are so bad that one has a moral duty to say terrible things about them at every opportunity. Liberalism is one of those things. That duty is more important than class, dignity, or manners.

It is long past time for decent people to wake up and realize that when dealing with scumbags, civility is nothing but a self-imposed handicap.

After a hundred million innocent dead in the twentieth century, no liberal is entitled to the slightest consideration, courtesy, or civility. Liberals should be reviled, abominated, spat upon, even beaten, whenever they have the gall to show their faces in the presence of decent people.

We act wrongly when we pretend that liberals have a right to a voice in human affairs. We act wrongly when we fail to excoriate them for the horrors they have wrought, and those they still lust to wreak.

When a human being appears in public with a liberal, at a political debate, for instance, he should preface his remarks with a statement to the effect that the proximity of the liberal is causing his gorge to rise and his flesh to crawl.

It is not humanly possible to say anything sufficiently critical and insulting about liberals and liberalism. Indictment, trial, conviction, sentencing, and execution would be insufficient punishment for their crimes against humanity.

Human beings arise! Computer science will allow a tyranny so complete and horrible that it has yet to be imagined, unless these loathsome swine are stopped.

There are other serious crimes for an official of the United States Government to actively interfere in an election or to actively promote the removal of a sitting president by promulgating false information received from a foreign power and it does start to smell of treason because you are also aiding that foreign power to achieve its objective of undermining our electoral process, weakening our institutions and causing the public to lose faith in their own country.

That foreign power also happens to own Sputnik.

... the Wall Street Journal reported that the president said the messages sent...amounted to treason because they were critical of him.

I seriously doubt that Trump said it is treason to criticize him. They committed treason by working to overturn and subvert the free election of a president and the orderly transfer of power.

Man, I’d be scared sh!tless if POTUS said I committed treason. There’s a stiff penalty if you are found guilty.

How is what Strzok and Page did fundamentally different that what the Rosenberg’s did? The means may have differed, but the objective to overthrow the US was the same.

Take a couple of deep staters out, and you watch them fold, a nd not willing to take all the blame, and then watch them all rat on each other, right to the top of obama, Jarrett, Clinton.

Of course it was treason.

Sure, but will anybody pay the price? Will anybody go to prison? Will anybody be put to death for TREASON?

Not now, not ever. Our pathetic spineless Congress will do nothing. Mark my word.

So, Sundance unveiled his big reveal @ CTH:

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2018/01/11/the-doj-and-fbi-worked-with-fusion-gps-on-operation-trump/#more-144446

I assume someone will post it as an anchor thread, but in the meantime, I will take the opportunity to comment here.

As Sundance reveals, the surveillance and spying activities conducted on the Trump campaign were perfectly legal under existing law. Even more importantly, the present FISA law is currently being debated right now in Congress, with expectations that it will be expanded in both scope and intent.

Now, why would a person who was subject to espionage be willing to consider expanding the FISA program's scope, validation and rationale? Why, someone who correctly sees it as an extremely powerful weapon to be utilized to our advantage, not one to be foolishly squandered.

As usual, the emotional (lets be frank, feminine) responses @ CTH are most unbecoming. It seems no one over there has even the slightest clue with respect to global strategic analysis. It's like they are a baying mob, satisfied with only some misguided quest for justice/revenge. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Bonus question: Why was/is Congressional oversight non-existent? Because they were parties. Why didn't the courts intervene? Because they were parties. The whole entirety of US government was perfectly aware of, and implicitly approved, these spying activities. IOW, it is "settled law".

Who is so stupid as to throw away that kind of advantage? Blue wave 2018; yeah, right. More like: another dead women and/or young boy found in Congressperson X's bed. News at 11!

Strzok would not have behaved as he did without an institutional culture and acceptance of same.

The culture was set by the guy who said "if your opponents bring a knife to a fight, you should bring a gun." and " I want you to argue with them and get in their face."

We all know where the tone was set. Plus they were 100% certain they would never, ever be called to account for their crimes because HRC was going to be POTUS. And their "insurance policy" was going to guarantee HRC won.

I hope the treasonous bastards do swing.
