Strzok said he wasn’t certain there was a “broad, coordinated effort” to hijack the election...

Not certain? Heck, he was a key player of the effort to hijack the election.

Which raises the question: If there was no concrete evidence of collusion, why did we need a special prosecutor?

It was revenge by the filthy 'elites' who didn't get the President they wanted: the witch and her rapist husband. Revenge when only 'white trash' will do...

Honestly? How else can the Deep State cabal destroy Trump? Unfortunately, the best special prosecutor was dead, so they chose the next best guy.

This coup d’etat attempt is similar to the plot in the 1964 movie “Seven Days in May.”
But,instead of the military being the conspirators andperpetrators, today it’s the deep state and Democrats.

I like this:

Strzok said he wasn’t certain there was a “broad, coordinated effort” to hijack the election and that the evidence of Trump campaign aides talking about getting Hillary Clinton dirt from Russians might have been just a “bunch of opportunists” talking to heighten their importance.

It sounds like he was talking about Papadopoulos.

A naive political climber who got in over his head and was a convenient patsy.

I don't think you can come to that conclusion. They have successfully tied Trump up with it for two years. And it is very unlikely any other outside businessman is going to attempt to run for POTUS after seeing the cost that Trump, his family, his friends and business have paid. And we haven't even got to midterms yet. What if mueller starts leaking or indicting other Trump associates in October? HUGE waste of time depends on what metric you measure success by.

Yep - the Democrats are trying anything to get back into power.

The mere fact they’ve harmed the country for 2 more years means nothing to them.

To keep the Justice Department from indicting Hillary.

Even bigger, any non-Democrat who runs for office will be subject to this kind of trash.

They’ve made a better case for “draining the swamp” than Trump ever could without the deep states attempted coup... now we have the public on our side and it’ll just grow from here as the investigations , firings and arrests come out day after day.

Was Trump’s Campaign ‘Set Up’?
The Wall Street Journal | 17 May 2018 | by Kimberley A. Strassel
FR Posted on 5/17/2018, 9:18:14 PM by Meet the New Boss

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes appearing on “Fox & Friends” provided a potentially explosive hint at what’s driving his demand to see documents related to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Trump-Russia probe. “If the campaign was somehow set up,” he told the hosts, “I think that would be a problem.”

—snip—

Think of the 2016 Trump-Russia narrative as two parallel strands—one politics, one law enforcement. The political side involves the actions of Fusion GPS, the Hillary Clinton campaign and Obama officials—all of whom were focused on destroying Donald Trump. The law-enforcement strand involves the FBI—and what methods and evidence it used in its Trump investigation.

At some point these strands intersected—and one crucial question is how early that happened.

What may well have kicked off both, however, is a key if overlooked moment detailed in the House Intelligence Committee’s recent Russia report. In “late spring” of 2016, then-FBI Director James Comey briefed White House “National Security Council Principals” that the FBI had counterintelligence concerns about the Trump campaign. Carter Page was announced as a campaign adviser on March 21, and Paul Manafort joined the campaign March 29.
—snip—

It’s long been known that Mr. Steele went to the FBI in early July to talk about the dossier, and that’s the first known intersection of the strands. But given the oddity and timing of those U.K. interactions concerning Messrs. Page and Papadopoulos, and given the history of some of the people involved in arranging them, some wonder if the two strands were converging earlier than anyone has admitted.

Can you name a single element of the Trump agenda that President Trump hasn’t been able to accomplish due to this nonsense?

"Due to it" is a high bar.

One could say either no border wall or failed Obamacare repeal.

On the one hand, there were allegations that Republicans were withholding support expecting Trump to be ousted or resign. The opposition to a border wall might fall here.

On the other hand, Obamacare repeal was held up by McCain for personal spite, which existed no matter what might happen.

Those failures should be draped entirely around the necks of the Republicans in Congress. They earned them on merit. The GOP has no interest in repealing Obamacare or protecting our borders.

Rosenstein knew there was no there there when he appointed Mueller.

Still, they are resisting pressure from Trump. Take their response (or lack of) to the recent trend of federal district judges passing nationwide injunctions. Only now are *some* Republicans speaking out about it.

I believe there were a number of things like this where Republicans held back expecting Trump to not survive. Why didn't Republicans defend Trump over the child separations at the border that happened during the Obama administration? It's not because Republicans would sacrifice children to open borders), it's because they still see Trump as damaged and don't want to be aligned with him.

That's the impact the Mueller investigations are having on Trump, making him toxic to supporters.
