Deep-State Standoff
Front Page ^ | May 15, 2018 | Lloyd Billingsley

Gina Haspel’s appearance last week before the Senate Intelligence Committee created a certain buzz but was hardly the biggest spy story in town. That prize belonged to the snoop the FBI had planted in the presidential campaign of Donald Trump. This was not a new story and veteran observers had been keeping close watch.

Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson, Andrew McCarthy wrote in National Review, had been “dead-on accurate” in his testimony that the FBI had a spy inside the Trump campaign for the stretch run of the 2016 race. In his Senate testimony on August 22, 2017, Simpson explained that Steele had met with at least one FBI agent in Rome, and the FBI had intelligence from an internal Trump campaign source, a human source inside the Trump campaign.

This was an explosive revelation and, following the publication of his testimony on January 9, 2018, Simpson did his best to walk it back. The revelations are now the subject of the ongoing battle between the House Intelligence Committee and the DOJ. Kimberly Strassel of the Wall Street Journal has been keeping close track on that front.

"The “resistance” to duly elected president Donald Trump, writes Michael Walsh, “was an intelligence operation from the start, engineered by Barack Obama, James Clapper, John Brennan, Loretta Lynch, leading Democrats, rogue Republicans, and using a deeply partisan and thus compromised media as its vengeful Greek chorus.”"

I think that there were more than one mole, or Democrat/Deep State operative, planted inside the Trump campaign. Everything I have seen convinces me that there were several.

All of them traitors who will be brought to justice.

It honestly doesn’t surprise me that they would spy on political campaigns, and perhaps even that they used moles. I’d even wonder if it hasn’t happened before.

What’s extremely corrupt about it is that they weaponized it for political purposes.

IF an outgoing republican administration had done this to a democrat candidate, every newspaper in the country would be calling for people’s heads every single day and claiming democracy has died forever

Including (probably) Jeff Sessions.

This one thing alone should be enough to make the entire country recoil in disgust.

I know Omarosa was fired. Just pointing out ONE of the many moles. She was supposedly documenting most conversations and undoubtedly a leaker at that time. She was reporting to the Deep State, IMO, probably Comey.

Why does Rosenstein still have his job?

Yep, and the penalty is death.

Trump needs to prosecute these crimes until conclusion. Adams was entirely correct when he stated "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

This country was manipulated by a conniving cabal of conspirators which allowed criminals to gain access to the halls of governance under the guise of fairness. If they escape penalty, they will merely return stronger and boiling with vengeance.

Is this the legacy Trump wants to leave for the country - and his own family? Or, does he want his name included with Washington & Lincoln, as the one who saved the republic and restored the rule of law?

It's a simple binary choice. One path leads to greatness, the other simply an 8 year deferral before tyranny returns.

"What’s extremely corrupt about it is that they weaponized it for political purposes."

What should disturb every American, is not the fact that the institutions of the CIA, NSA, and FBI are weaponized. They are weapons, after all. What should cause outrage among Americans is the fact that these weapons have been politicized and unleashed against We the People, who they are supposed to serve.

That is a great crime against We the People. The conspirators need to be drawn and quartered, and their heads placed on pikes. Anything less is not justice.

It wasn't Trump who put the corrupt insider globalist in office like Clinton, Bush and Obama. Trump is trying to save this country from those who supported these corrupt globalist, the same ones who are now suggesting that Trump better hurry up and save them if he wants to salvage his legacy...Gak

Well, well, it looks like COINTELPRO lives again. And this time a Presidential candidate was targeted, and worse, it continued after he was elected. I don't think resignations are going to suffice.
