Deep State or Democrat State?
Front Page ^ | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 04/23/2018 10:52:42 AM PDT by detective

Michael Cohen, President Trump’s lawyer, was forced to drop his lawsuit against Fusion GPS over the smears peddled in its Clinton-Steele dossier because of the recent raids by the FBI.

Aside from Trump, Cohen was one of the few people with the standing to sue Fusion GPS and discovery might have pulled back even more of the curtain on the process by which Clinton opposition research was used to justify eavesdropping on Trump officials while manufacturing the Russia conspiracy theory.

Going after Cohen not only seizes control of materials normally protected by attorney-client confidentiality (at least until Hillary Clinton’s disgraced pick for Attorney General decided they shouldn’t be), but also protects Fusion GPS and suppresses a further line of inquiry into FBI misconduct.

Some call the corrupt network, a “Deep State”. But that shifts responsibility from the Democrats to an amorphous conspiracy that encompasses everything. And that lets the Democrats off the hook.

The investigations of Trump aren’t tainted because everyone in the FBI is bad. They’re tainted because Democrats tried to use them to rig one election and are trying to use them to rig another one.

Leftist. Planning Civil War. Spain 1936. My congressman, McClintock, is in the running-N-word rifle scope, they’re out to get him. They don’t play by the same rules. Blood will flow in the streets.

The USA is not America anymore but is now a Democrat/marxist state

democrats(really marxists) have taken over every institution in the USA, the media, hollywood, colleges, government schools, the internet(facebooks, google ,youtube,twitter, amazon etc.), the Federal reserve( the fed kept rates near zero for ALL of Obama’s 8 years, now raising rates frantically 6 times since Trump), courts, federal buracracy (doj , FBi, CIa) etc

All we have is Trump . We are in deep trouble. Ya’ll know what we have to do now : read the declaration of Independence : King George was far less oppressive than these democrat/marxist goons controlling everything.

I highly respect Daniel Greenfield, but I am surprised he didn’t factor in the DNC lawsuit of Donald Trump...doesn’t that open the same avenues of “discovery” that the Cohen suits would have?

If this keeps progressing, I am not sure this lets the Dems off the hook...

democrats/marxists have taken over every institution in the USA , from the media to Internet(facebook, google etc).

But they couldn't have done it without them taking over the media first and then importing 80 third world foreign socialist immigrants since their 1965 immigration act. That 80 million immigrants number is low if you add in the 30 million illegals.

Yep, this strategy serves to divide the DNC opponents to cripple republicans and increase the power of the rat party.

The Deep State are the Progressives of both parties who share an agenda and merely disagree on the implementation. Not Democrat. Not Republican. Not American.

Of course. It's all misdirection. What is being discussed is basically the same group of transnationalist poofters that have been prominent since Teddy Rooseveldt's administration. There is nothing new here.

“When Federal judges did that with the travel ban, illegal alien amnesty or sanctuary cities, it was bad enough. But then they began doing it with criminal cases aimed at the President of the United States.

That’s no longer a power struggle between the branches of government. It’s a police state.”

Terrifying !

"Cohen’s lawsuit... threatened to discredit the founding document of the investigation. Going after him forcefully... allows Mueller and his media allies to spin more defenses of the dossier’s credibility. Its origins have been exposed, but Cohen’s court case would have revealed the laughable nonsense the conspiracy theory was based on. And the incompetence and corruption of everyone in the FBI who had treated it as a serious document would have made them look like clowns.

"Comey, McCabe and the gang are the type who begin writing their autobiographies in elementary school. They’re eager to be interviewed about their martyrdom, but they hate being laughed at.... And an extensive dissection of the errors in the Clinton-Steele dossier would have been hilarious."


Such brilliant writing. Go, Daniel!
