Three Leaders Are Better Than One

Democrats have tried to block the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation of the FBI and its probe of the Trump presidential campaign. They have failed. And the Senate Judiciary Committee is investigating the actions of the FBI on its own.

Democrats made a fatal mistake. In their eagerness to quash scrutiny of the FBI, they embraced a dossier of unverified claims about President Trump put together by British ex-spy Christopher Steele. It blew up in their laps—and in the FBI’s even more so—after it was used improperly to justify the wiretap of a minor Trump adviser, Carter Page. It was a partisan document, having been financed by Democrats.

The dossier was heavily relied on in the FBI’s wiretap application. Only a part of that application has been released publicly, the rest redacted. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), chairman of the House committee, has asked the Justice Department to unmask the redacted sections, or at least two dozen specific pages.

There are bigger questions that the full application cannot answer. Yet these are on the minds of Nunes and other Republicans on both committees. Who in the Obama administration authorized the request for the wiretap during the final months of the 2016 campaign? (It was approved on October 21.) Which officials were involved? How did they intend to use the material they might obtain? What laws might have been violated?

Fred Barnes has suddenly become aware of the emerging set of facts surrounding the Steele dossier that there was a massive conspiracy conducted by the Obama Administration, the Democrat Party, and aided by the Media to prevent the election of Trump and then to undo the unwanted result.

The Trump Haters have been so obsessed with their distaste for Trump that they ignored the obvious, that the Democrats were working overtime to overthrow the government. It is the biggest political scandal of our Republic's history and people who have been at the scene of the crime are just starting to figure it out.

“It is the biggest political scandal of our Republic’s history and people who have been at the scene of the crime are just starting to figure it out.”

Better late than never. I am ready for the show to start!

Pray for AG Sessions.

The deep state has plans that don’t include them going to prison or to the executioner’s block.

I believe Jeff Sessions is working overtime behind the scenes to destroy the deep state.

I believe this is the only kind of AG Trump would have chosen.

Pray for Jeff Sessions and his family.

We know as much or more about the democrat scam as do late comers like Barnes.

It doesn’t seem to matter how much evidence is revealed the main criminals are still walking around free and many of them still draw federal paychecks.

Every story like this only serves to rub our noses in the fact that the evil doers are still running the FBI and DOJ and still protecting Hillary, Lynch, Comey and all of their helpers and followers.

Overlooked (?) in this statement is the well-funded criminal enterprise embodied by and around the Democrat candidate herself.

The Democrat Party was under the total control of the Candidate, Hillary Clinton.
