The Tables Turn in Russian Collusion Hunt

The irony of the entire Russian collusion hoax is that accusers who cried the loudest about leaking, collusion, lying, and obstruction are themselves soon very likely to be accused of just those crimes.

Now that Robert Mueller

Just heard on FOX news “subpoenas are coming within the next 48 hours- and it’s not good for Democrats”

I hope the heck that means what I think it means!!!

Trump is far too gentle with those who plotted against him. A serious man would have arrested Comey, McCabe, Clapper, Brennan and Lynch Day 1 of his Administration. They tried to rig a Presidential election, prevent him from taking office and harassed him to prevent policy implementations for two years. Yet they remain free. Historically when a coup fails, either the conspirators are arrested and made to suffer severely or the leader demonstrates weakness, vulnerability and eventually will in fact be deposed.

Quite a synopsis and couldn’t have been compiled by anyone greater and more respected. Thanks.

Take Conflict of Interest Andrew McCabe never should have been in charge of the FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton, given that just months earlier his wife had been the recipient of $675,000 in campaign cash donated by Clinton and Democratic Party-affiliated political action committees.

This is just one example of the plentiful and deeply woven web of reasons why the establishment went to defcon-1 after the man who had chants of “lock her up” and “drain the swamp” got elected POTUS. This example is not an outlier. It typifies a pervasive arrogance in DC.

You are just some guy jawboning on the Internet about things you are not privy to and know nothing substantial about.

He is calculating, smart and patient. Those big cats in the wild do NOT let the wildebeest know they are about to pounce.

That's not irony, that's Democrat SOP. They invariably accuse their victims of what they are doing, a variation of the "big lie" technique described by Adolf Hitler.

A big reason they behave in such an outrageous manner is that they know the MSM will back their play, while silencing or downplaying anyone who objects.

I honestly never thought Mueller would give up the witch hunt before 2020. I thought Trump should have declassified and released all documents in order to protect himself, knowing full well there would be screams of obstruction. Trump obviously knew better than people like me in waiting until now to declassify. If I were one of the felons mentioned in the above article I would be lining up the best Washington shysters I could possibly afford.

You speak of the media and Democrats as if they were separate things.

It is not irony, it is projection. It is a defense mechanism that has worked quite well for them so far.

Sorry. But until these conspirators are arrested, the crime goes unpunished. Justice delayed is justice denied. Until there are actual arrests or the wall is actually built, Trump remains a vulnerable and incomplete. Not much time in his term to act.

The Democrats spent almost 10 years prosecuting Barry Bonds for obstruction. These guys should be prosecuted at least as hard.

The motives of these bad actors are diverse, but they share a common denominator. As Washington politicos and administrative state careerists, all of them believed that Donald Trump was so abhorrent that he should be prevented from winning the 2016 election. After his stunning and shocking victory, they assumed further that either he should not be inaugurated or he should be removed from office as soon as they could arrange it.

They further reasoned that as high and esteemed unelected officials their efforts were above and beyond the law, and rightly so, given their assumed superior wisdom and morality.

And there we have the Deep State, more accurately branded the "Deep Swamp" and why it is the ultimate danger to the American Way.

President Trump and his Patriot base stand alone against it.

VDH always a worthwhile read.

Subpoenas for what? Another Senate hearing? I am waiting for grand jury indictments.

I would normally be a glass half full guy, but this crap is getting old.

I agree with you all the way.

This coup did not end with the Mueller Report. It is ongoing.

Trying to end the Electoral College and the Invasion via our southern border are only two ongoing parts of this coup. The destruction of our country is a multi faceted effort and has been going on for a very long time.

The perpetrators must face severe justice or next time will make this time look like child’s play. Next time they will solidify their power.
