I wondered if maybe some dirt on him is starting to come to light. I expect a long incredulous op-ed to be released just before his dirt is leaked. Just like McCabe and just like Comey. That is what dirtballs do - try to shape public opinion first.
One more thing: Dan Bongino's hypothesis at the end of this post might be difficult for some to consider (I happen to think it is true, and there is going to be more on this) so if you don't agree, just keep it for later reference as the information may be valuable. I think this is the MOST SERIOUS SCANDAL IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY, and I don't think I am being hyperbolic about this. Our last hope is to see the hammer come down on people who have abused our systems and our trust. I believe this because there is much the previous administration would rather have let die (not just the men in Benghazi) and framing Trump was something they thought they could get away with.
*******************************************************
There was an extremely important development (in his opinion) in the last week: (Check out this link from the washington Examiner article: Paul Manafort has been on the FBI’s radar since 2013
From the article: "...The documents show that when federal investigators raided Manafort’s home a while back, they were looking for “communication, records, documents and other files” surrounding the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting. They were also looking for any communication with “Aras and Amin Agalorov,” a billionaire Russian father-son duo with ties to President Trump stemming from the 2013 Miss Universe pageant..."
In the last couple of days, Jeff Sessions explicitly said he was not going to recuse himself from the issues arising from the FBI raid on Trump's laywer's office (Cohen).
THAT tells us it has nothing at all to do with...Russian Collusion. It is something else.
SOME BACKGROUND HERE:
There was a DOJ internal affairs investigation into the FBI handling of the Clinton email investigation, asked for by Democrats because they thought Comey was deliberately trying to damage Hillary Clinton. That sound odd, but remember, the rank and file liberals thought Comey was damaging Clinton by reopening the investigation ten days before the election that he had previously (and inappropriately) closed in July.
In Bongino's opinion, Comey reopened it as damage control, because Dan Bongino has sources (that have been pretty spot on in my evaluation) that said that the FBI and NYPD found such damaging information to the Left on the Anthony Wiener laptop, that people in the NYPD were so upset about that they were threatening to leak that information to the media if the investigation was not reopened, and they were also concerned about leaks to the media from the FBI offices in New York. (Bongino's sources) Comey thought that if they reopen the case they could have a better handle on controlling the info.
So, the Dems asked for an internal affairs investigation of the FBI's behavior, and it was in this investigation that they discovered Anthony Weiner's laptop, the Strzok-Page messages, McCabe's unethical and illegal behavior...so this has undressed the Democrats, and he also believes there is evidence as well of this endeavor to frame Donald Trump.
It appears the Dem's insistence on this investigation into the actions of the FBI in the Clinton email investigation has backfired rather horrifically (for them) and has brought to light many things they did not even think of or anticipate.
The Muller investigation is a witch hunt, but has revealed so much damaging information that they have had to refer stuff out of the investigation. Just the day before yesterday, Greg Craig, a lawyer who suddenly resigned from his law firm (the biggest law firm in the world, Skadden Arps) indicates that there is more going on. Who is Greg Craig,and why might he be important? Remember, there was another lawyer (Alex van der Zwaan) who was charged and pleaded guilty to lying, deleting emails and other communications. Rick Gates, who was a business partner of Manafort, was charged and apparently has made a deal for cooperation.
This is an important tidbit from the Chuck Todd Article at The Daily Caller: Ex-Obama Lawyer Who Worked With Manafort On Ukraine Project Abruptly Leaves Law Firm. From that article, not the bolded red segment:
"...Van der Zwaan, who worked closely with Craig on the Ukraine project, claimed that he lied to investigators because he did not want to reveal that he had secretly recorded conversations with Gates and a Skadden Arps law partner. The law partner is not identified in court filings Van der Zwaan was fired by Skadden Arps in November, shortly after he was first interviewed by Mueller’s team..."
But this guy Greg Craig, skates through all of this. Nothing on him. Really? Is it possible that "unnamed law partner" might be...er...Greg Craig, Obama's former lawyer in the White House? Who is this guy?
SOME HISTORY HERE:
The Ukranian President hired Manafort to do a puff propaganda paper to swing public opinion and show he didn't jail his political oppenents.
REMEMBER: PAUL MANAFORT WAS BUSINESS PARTNERS WITH TONY PODESTA, JOHN PODESTA'S BROTHER...JOHN PODESTA, HILLARY CLINTON'S RIGHT HAND MAN.
Manafort hires the services of Skadden Arps.
Skadden assigns one of their lawyers, Greg Craig to work on this report with Manafort.
Who is Greg Craig?
Greg Craig is Democrat connected lawyer...Obama's lawyer in the White House from 2009-2010.
SO: THE DAY OR TWO BEFORE ALL THESE 'MISSING' EMAILS AND DOCUMENTS ARE TO BE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC THIS GUY CRAIG, OBAMA'S LAWYER WHO SEEMED TO GET A PASS, ABRUPTLY AND SUDDENLY QUITS AND DISAPPEARS FROM THE PUBLIC EYE.
Funny. Why do you suppose he left his firm so quickly and unexpectedly with no comment? Could it be that the Muller investigation found something "damaging"? Just what might that mean? Remember the bold red text from the story above about the guy Alex van der Zwaan: "...he did not want to reveal that he had secretly recorded conversations with Gates and a Skadden Arps law partner. The law partner is not identified in court filings..."
They nailed Alex van der Zwaan because...THEY FOUND RECORDINGS that showed he DID talk to Rick Gates.
In the Manfort investigation, the suspicion is that they came across communications between...Manafort and an "unnamed partner"...who may just be Greg Craig.
Makes one wonder about what they found on those tapes with "an unnamed law partner". Could it have been OTHER things, NOT "Russian Collusion"?
One has to wonder how someone like Manafort (who has been under FBI investigation since 2014) found his way into the Trump Team during the election. How did someone who already already had a sizeable dirt "dossier" on him (compiled by Alexandra Chalupa at the DNC) find his way onto the Trump Team? Those are valid and pointed questions. How did Manafort come to be a campaign manager? Who got him to that point?
Answering those questions, as Dan Bongino points out, may provide the key to what has been going on with the setup on Trump.
Dan Bongino hypothesizes (and I agree):
"The Obama Team set up Donald Trump, and inserted people into his orbit that they knew were dirty in case they lost the election to say later on "Look, they were colluding with foreigners!" I don't think it is a coincidence at all that Obama's attorney Greg Craig (Literally his attorney from 2009-2010,the White House Counsel) that was working with a guy inserted into the Trump orbit (Manafort) who was used to make the case that Trump was colluding with the Russians."
And it has been a setup, there is absolutely no question asked. And this is unraveling faster, and Faster, and FASTER on the people behind that setup.
