Rush gleans info from a recent WaPo story, WSJ editorial and Kim Strassel.
Were foolish Comey and the FBI gulled by Hillary's phony Steele dossier into believing that Trump and Putin were conspiring to fix the presidential election and therefore the FBI planted an informant in Trump's campaign?
Rush says signs point to 'yes'.
(hat tip Victor Davis Hanson)
After Trump won, the super-confident Deep State had the power to either stop, remove, or delegitimize Trump and his presidency....
Obama’s apparat quite imaginatively pulled out all the stops:
<><>implanting Obama holdover appointees all over the executive branch;
<><>filing lawsuits and judge shopping;
<><>organizing the Resistance;
<><>pursuing impeachment writs;
<><>warping the FISA courts;
<><>weaponizing the DOJ and FBI;
<><>attempting to disrupt the Electoral College;
<><>angling for enactment of the 25th Amendment or the emoluments clause; and,
<><> unleashing Hollywood celebrities, Silicon Valley, and many in Wall Street to suffocate the Trump presidency in its infancy.
All of it indicative of the Third World mentality the Halfrican brought to the presidency. The scurrilous T/W tactic of using the power of government to attack and suppress people who get in their way.
What if the reason why the FBI wants to keep their mole a secret is because the mole is still working for Trump?
FBI is just the KGB with better clothiers.
Rush also said he thinks the Wall Street Journal does, too.
This is beyond the pale. Well I need to go listen to our great president speak.
There were a lot of plants in the Trump campaign...Sessions being one of the most insidious
The Obama Administration used the FBI to spy on the opposition’s campaign. All quite normal for a banana republic.
The caller and Rush speculated it might be Carter Page. Rush doubted it but began to waver a bit as he mused about the possibility and admitted if it’s not Page then he has no clue who it could be. The caller seemed fairly well convinced.
I’m willing to be shown that Carter Page is the one, but it makes no sense to me if he was used as an informant. He didn’t seem to be with Trump very long or have a significant position. My assessment all along has been that he was used in order to get the FISA warrant.
That’s it. Just used as an excuse to spy...
At this point it’s not if the FBI planted someone, it’s who is it that was planted?
“I actually believe the FBI planted an informant in the Trump campaign “
Yeah, we know Rush, it’s Sessions! It’s patently obvious that he’s the guy!
I can see why they don’t want to release Carter Pages name. The Russians would investigate everyone he knew while in Moscow. But in the other hand I think the cat is out of the bag. If Carter Page was a plant then that pretty much invalidates the case against Trump. For one, Carter Pages exploits were the primary evidence agianst Trump in the GPS dossier. If it’s garbage then the entire GPS dossier is garbage. That leaves only Papadopoulos who is a big nothing anyway.
As an aside you wonder about the timing if Page was a plant. If he was a plant then why would he go to Russia after he worked for Trump? I think he may have gone to Russia to try to confirm some of the GPS report. But then later they tried to test Steele by asking him to confirm that Page met with Russian officials. Whether he did or not will be an interesting point.
Rush is wrong about this.
Nobody at the Feebeye believes this “Russia stuff.”
But I don’t doubt there were some Democrat Party moles in the Feebeye who believed they could make the public believe it.
If they can PLANT a Dossier as FRAUDULENT EVIDENCE funded by Hillary, then they can PLANT a Carter Page as FRAUDULENT EVIDENCE as well. BOTH were done in order to get FRAUDULENT FISA warrants.
Hillary, Comey, Lynch, Rosenstein, McCabe (to name a few) ALL BELONG IN FEDERAL PRISON!!!
Was their a plant in the Hillary campaign?
Of course not.
Some “Republicans” really aren’t.
They just pretend to be to climb the ladder of power and money.
If the wind is blowing Republican, that’s what will move their career$ forward.
Papadopolous
I think the question is did Obama plant an FBI asset in the Trump campaign.
I remember, all not too long ago, when the departing administration (Bill Clinton’s) took all the “w’s” off the typewriter and computer key boards as they left the White House.
How times change!
I don’t even know what to say. IF true, we must get this into the open and have these people dealt with.
The FBI uses informants everywhere and why not with Trump.....
