-- The money quote: ""There is nothing more dangerous to the welfare of our republic than operatives from three-letter agencies taking sides for ideological or personal reasons and then using the vast resources at their disposal to damage and delegitimize those they oppose." --

An ignorant public.

Nixon had a small secret group of “plumbers” trying to gather secrets on the opposition campaign.

Did Nixon organize and control the plumbers?

-- You can learn more about what the NYT and the WaPo from what they don't publish than from what they do. --

Also pay attention to what Limbaugh and Hannity won't cover.

Trying to cover up a third rate burglary?

No. He just tried to stick up for them. The Dems came after him for successfully prosecuting Alger Hiss, a COMMUNIST.

Sarah Carter is doing journeyman work on this.

Sarah who? Nobody knows what she is doing. The drive by media is ignoring this story

There is a certain demographic that will not listen to anything other than CNN, CBS, MSNBC, etc., which are themselves controlled by about 5 or 6 superrich people. Their opinions and points of view are shaped exclusively by them, all while thinking themselves open minded and informed. Is the MSM really controlled by the Rats, or are the Rats controlled by them? Or are they both controlled by something else? The one world government international socialists and the other two groups form a sort of unholy trinity, never at odds with one another. There’s a lot going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about.

I always knew NY Times and WaPo were statist and left-leaning. Now we know they are literally the voices of America's deep state and DC's globalist Uni-Party. They are no different from Pravda or the People's Daily, and Americans should read them the same way.

The New York Times and the Washington DC Post are part of the Deep state Cabal?

Who would have ever thought it? How long do you suppose this collusion has been going on?

Wow, I intuited that for decades.

It's been going on since 1861.

Wrong - what matters is that Democrats embedded a spy... and tried to take down a duly elected President... that's the crime. That's the outrage.

In the old days democrat used these techniques against our enemies... not against opposing candidates.

I don't care what sexual things consenting adults do... I DO care about the damn rapist Bill Clinton... because rape is a horrible crime. But I don't care that Bill Clinton slept with as many liberal sluts (in Hollywood and out) that he could find. Why? Because the liberal sluts were consensual.

I also don't care if billionaires hire liberal whores to act out porn movies or porn fantasies with democrat sluts like Stormy. ‘’But ‘’ I do care if democrat traitors cheat on elections by embedding spies and attempting to overthrow a duly elected President. THAT IS A CRIME AGAINST EVERYTHING OUR COUNTRY IS FOUNDED ON...

“They are no different from Pravda or the People's Daily, and Americans should read them the same way.”

If the handlers and managers at Pravda had been even half as good as their fellow-travelers in the U.S. lame-stream media, the Soviet Union would still be on the march.

Here's the really scary part: the Establishment Media may be part of the scandal, too. This is the type of scandal that could end a lot of prominent bastions of journalism.

The MEDIA is the DEEP STATE.

Everything they were doing was against candidate Trump and President Trump. The spy revelation is new. All the other coup d’etat / subversion / sedition / and treason remains whether there was a spy or not. The spy enhances the solidity of the evidence, no doubt. But there is, IMO, more than enough evidence to bring them to justice and find them guilty without the spy.

“Flood is coming”

It’s been flooding for quite some time now. A massive conspiracy of high treason across multiple alphabet group agencies...All the way up to the king scumbag himself, Barry O’muslim, with no controlling legal authority in sight.

Not true.

There were leaks that the DEMS had info/pics of a prostitute and a prominent Republican. Actually it was a prominent Republican whose wife was being accused of being a prostitute.

Nixon's staff had the "plumbers" break into the hotel room where the DEM who threatened to blackmail them was staying. They were searching for the pics/documents.

It was a setup and they got caught. There were no pics, no documents. It was all made up based on the wife's history which was interesting and could be politically harmful, but not illegal.

The Republican in question didn't know they didn't have any pics or documents because the plumbers got caught before they could complete a search.

SO, the Dems blackmailed him into turning on his boss (Nixon).
