Calm before the storm. Not going to be a nothingburger.

[MNDude]

A few weeks ago, president Trump appeared with a dozen military leaders where he announced to the press that it was the Calm before the storm. It seems clear now that he was talking about uranium one and dossier Revelations.

I am pretty certain he has known about all of this for many weeks, possibly since the beginning of his presidency. He does not intend this to be just another Donald Trump tweet that may or may not capture the media's attention. He's going to go big.

So my question is, why all of the military leaders? Are they only symbolic that he is about to begin War against the corrupt deep Staters? Or could the military actually become involved with action against guilty parties. What are your thoughts?

Click bait for journolists (figurative). Did you miss the establishment ring in their noses?

“...not going to be a nothing burger...”

Thank you MNDude! I agree and am frustrated with the cynicism posted by many FReepers. The uranium one treason is different. The Clintons overreached this time. As you point out, President Trump has almost certainly known all about this and was waiting for the correct time to strike.

Everything Trump does is for a reason. Note today he is tweeting about the “great unity” within the Republican party. Think about why.

I think the “calm before the storm” appearance with the military was about NK.

Trump was signaling NK that NK was about to cross lines that would result in our military taking action. Notice, NK has been pretty quiet since then.

I think Trump has known about Uranium One since before the inauguration. I for one, posted to Trump’s suggestion site that they should look into Podesta’s Russian stock option holdings and bribery regarding the Uranium. And take back the mine if bribery could be proved.

Hannity said that he knew about this for over a year.

It would make sense that President Trump would know for that long as well.

It is likely that all this “Russia Collusion” stuff was seen as a gift from God to allow the Trump administration to consolidate power and eliminate RINOs, while driving the final nails into the coffin of establishment media credibility.

Trump made references before he was elected that may have been about this. I think it’s possible he has known for years.

I wonder if there is concern about domestic unrest. If they move on Hillary, Bill, or Obama, some libs will lose their minds. Some, however, may be willing to sacrifice the Clintons to protect Obama. The next year will be fascinating for sure.

Yes, I think that having bada$$ military types like Kelly and Mattis was not accidental. I've been saying that the military may have to get involved given how corrupt the FBI, CIA, and other agencies have become.

“Hannity said that he knew about this for over a year.”

I don’t think he knew about the “eye witness” for that long but the general facts.

[plain talk]

Or could the military actually become involved with action against guilty parties.

So you are suggesting ... Trump will use the military to go after the Clinton Foundation or the DNC?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Hannity said that he knew about this for over a year.

It was all documented in "Clinton Cash," which came out July 26, 2016.

If you go back to 2016 primaries, campaign to the present, it’s pretty amazing how many eyebrow raising things he has said that later turned out to be more or less accurate. Hmmmm

[MNDude]

I am not certain. There’s probably a lot of dirty people in the military that their leaders are planning to take out also I imagine. That’s why I posted the question though

Reminds me of the joke posted this week
HER was asked what the difference was between WJC and Weinstein

Her answer “close but no cigar!”

[petercooper]

Wait until Mueller comes out with indictments on Hillary, Bill, Comey, Holder, Geithner, Lynch, etc... Notice Trump does not bash Rosenstein or Mueller- who were both involved in U1 deal. Hmmm.....

I believe there was a time when such ‘cynicism’ would be met with a few days suspension from the site and if it continued a downright ZOT!

I long for the day when, after Trump’s cabinet (and AG) are proven to be true-blue that those suspensions begin anew - and I don’t care if they ARE donors to the site.

It is time that FreeRepublic returns to the glory they once had as a stalwart defender of the conservative cause . . .

(and I hope that includes all the homo posts as well - we don’t need to know the latest trend in the gay mafia - including Milo).
