Lee Smith on 'Spygate': "It Was A Larger Political Operation To Dirty The Trump Campaign"
Real Clear Politics ^ | June 3, 2018

Posted on 06/08/2018 12:51:30 PM PDT by detective

Real Clear Investigations' Lee Smith tells FOX News host Laura Ingraham said there was a press campaign by Obama administration intelligence officials to dirty Donald Trump's bid for the presidency. From the Friday edition of FNC's Ingraham Angle:

LAURA INGRAHAM: Well John Solomon discovered that the FBI violated its own rules by using informants before the investigation was ever launched. So why were FBI informants contacting Trump figures about Russia long before the Russia probe was opened? Something else that doesn't add up, whether a key player was an FBI informant or somewhere closer to a Russian spy. Reporter Lee Smith wrote an important piece on that in real clear investigations entitled, "The Maltese Phantom of Russiagate". Lee is here to discuss how Russiagate all began...

We are going to get into this Misfud character with another oddity in all of this but what about the timing of this investigation like process can get really boring, what does it matter but it matters here why?

This is the way the Obama administration typically works, they did it with the Iran deal. There was always an intelligence component and there was always a press campaign as well. That's how the Obama administration worked. These two things happened, they were political operations.

But Gowdy Doody And Paul Ryan, the most successful Speaker of the House of all time, said it’s all good, yo!

They said we all wanted this!

If you and I did that we'd be hunted down, lined-up and shot.

But will they ever be brought to justice?

I sincerely doubt it, except for maybe a few low-level expendable players. But the big criminal fish will escape unscathed.

Ryan was never on Trump’s team. The two faced turd has done nothing but undermine him since Trump was elected. His tacit agreement with the Dems that the FBI activity was lawful, without any view of any documents, is the final nail in that jokers coffin.

Dooty time made himself a joke with his half hearted interview of I think Clinton. He was just a guppy as opposed to the shark he makes him self out to be.

Both of these Swamp critters and absolute pure scum.

Never, ever let a Republican stand at your flank unless you want a shank in your back.

Ryan’s decision to leave Congress was very telling. I thought he was an effective legislator and was probably the best we could reasonably hope for as House Speaker, but once Trump showed up in Washington he really looked like a weak candy-ass in comparison.

And that is what it all boils down to. They not only attempted to criminally undermined, compromise and overthrow a presidential candidate but then the President of the United States.

Public hangings come to mind.

How do the American people, who love this country and obey the laws, “demand” justice for the crimes committed by Obama and his Administration (including all the agencies and departments involved) against the Constitution, against the American people, and against President Donald Trump?

These crimes absolutely must not be swept under the carpet and those guilty must be charged, tried, and sent to prison for the rest of their lives. We will have no rule of law left and no justice if these traitors aren’t charged and tried. Too many died and were injured to keep us free. Criminals like these people cannot go unscathed. They “must” pay the price for their crimes.

Again, how do we all make these demands right now?

Ryan never impressed me.
He got kudos for trying to balance the budget. But he did it in a stupid stupid way.
He cut stuff and paid no attention to the economy at all.

It’s like trying to get a car that’s badly out of tune running by removing body parts to lighten the load. Just stupid.

Trump gets it. Trump had been jawboning congress for years to do the right thing. And they just wouldn’t listen.

Now we know why Obama had that goofy look on his face when he met Pres-elect Trump.
All the dirt he figured Hillary would sweep under the rug was now in the hands of the man he tried to destroy.

Speaking of Malta... SCOTUS justice Roberts made an oddball trip to Malta around the time he sold us out on Obamacare.

I agree. But if Ryan was the worst member of Congress this country would be in great shape.

I don’t know.

My government has become a racketeering mafia.

I no longer wish for it to exist, I do not wish to be subject to it, I do not want to be “represented”.
