Over the past week the hysteria on the right and among some weak-kneed Trumpers has been over the top. Even Rush Limbaugh began to wiggle uncomfortably, fearing Trump did know what he was up against, and hadn't moved fast enough to deal with the "silent coup" against him.
Jeff Sessions' recusal supposedly showed that Trump, like all the rest of the Republicans, didn't know how to play hardball.
Ooops.
I can always tell when something big is about to happen at Team Trump when my contact messages aren't returned. And I'm always pleasantly surprised that Team Trump is one to a dozen steps ahead of anything I'm thinking.
Case in point: yesterday I drafted a memo urging Trump to go on offense against the Democrats, specifically the Congressional rats. And as usual, I'm thinking of building a bowling alley while Trump is envisioning a gleaming skyscraper.
Today Trump's offensive began. But only after cleverly baiting the hook, luring the enemy Cannae-style into an envelope from which there is no escape.
He didn't fight back against the guys in the ring. He went after their manager, their coach, and their funder-in-chief. Trump went after the head of the snake.
By Tweeting that Trump Tower and his personal residence were bugged---and apparently the evidence of such a wiretap approval exists---Trump again shows why he plays 3D chess and his enemies are playing Parcheesi. The Bible says it this way: "They will come at you one way and go away fleeing seven."
Other than the fact that this is OBAMA he is going after, the juciest part is that Sessions did NOT recuse himself from a wiretap investigation of Obama. Get it?
Trump just leapfrogged the whole Russia thing with an "It ends today." Now Team Trump has leverage to force a full and total standdown of all opposition to Trump inside Congress, all end to the disruptions, and meek and timid confirmation of all appointees. Or Zero goes to jail. That simple.
Many here will want blood. But I'm reminded of Sam Houston after he defeated Santa Anna at San Jacinto. Instead of hanging the dictator, he merely took all of the American Southwest. Santa Anna was out soon anyway, but we still have Phoenix, Denver, and (unfortunately) California. It will be a negotiation from strength, and the Dems will have no choice but to comply. They won't completely give up---there will be surreptitious acts with enough deniability---but this was a perfectly baited hook that all of Trump's enemies just walked into.
I thought he said that he was recusing himself from any campain investigation?
Trump needs to call it the O’SHIT initiative.(Obama, Sorros & Hillary Investigation of Treason)

LOL. OK, you win on points but I should get credit for the more FR Friendly PG rating of OSA: Obama-Soros-Axis.
Leak his naturalization papers.
And leak the computer transaction logs for the Hawaii Department of Health and the State Department where the passport file was altered by Brennan’s people. Find out what exactly was done, the exact identities who did it, and when.
And then send them all to Gitmo, along with the “journalists” who provided cover.
Send Bob Bauer to Gitmo for claiming that Hawaii hasn’t issued long-form BC’s, when the 2001 “memo” has a creation date of the same day Obama released the fake BC and Bauer made that claim.
I have a LONG list of people they should send to Gitmo.
Hey! Great analysis and my compliments!
I got to this thread from a link on another site. I am SO happy I was an early Trump supporter!
Many people fail to see that Trump thinks many steps ahead. Fortunately, chief among those are the democrats.
MAGA!!!
Greetings to all my old friends from Free Republic. I may check in more often.
Names?
Wow! I ain’t seen YOU in a coon’s age!
Yes, it’s about 0 doing a —broad wiretap— anyway, after its refusal; there was only approval of a —very narrow— one about a bank.
0 went too far.
And IIRC the question to AG Sessions was about Russian involvement in the campaign, not 0’s or anyone else’s.
Can civilians get revenge/justice, even while the administration gets a legacy?
Good to see you,MM.
Thanks, LS! DJT knows what he is doing. THAT fact has never been questioned. The d’rats will soon be begging for Mercy and BO’B, no where to be found unless one searches in Kenya.
Great post. Thanks.
The Court in Minor did make a direct holding that Mrs. Minor was, in fact, a US citizen. The Court established her citizenship by definining the “class” of “natural-born citizens” as those born in the US to parents who were citizens. Then the Court included Virginia Minor in that class thereby deeming her to be a US citizen. And they did this by specifically avoiding the 14th Amendment and by specifically construing Article 2 Section 1.
“The Constitution does not in words say who shall be natural-born citizens. Resort must be had elsewhere to ascertain that. At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born in a country of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were natives or natural-born citizens, as distinguished from aliens or foreigners. Some authorities go further and include as citizens children born within the jurisdiction without reference to the citizenship of their parents. As to this class there have been doubts, but never as to the first. For the purposes of this case, it is not necessary to solve these doubts. It is sufficient for everything we have now to consider that all children born of citizen parents within the jurisdiction are themselves citizens. ”
LS, I want to believe. But can’t the Dims just say that the wiretap was granted by the court because there was plenty of evidence that Trump
was endangering national security? That this “proves” their Russia accusations? That’s the message the MSM will carry. Please assure me that I am wrong. Because I see this as very negative for Trump and I don’t want to be right!
Thank you LS. Trump is a fighter and a winner, but he needs his supporters to stay strong. He’s surrounded by the enemy in DC.
Please do come ‘round, you are missed!
Yes, the LS commentary is right on target. President Trump has just raised the stakes considerably for the Democraps and the battle is fully joined.
You’re adorable. I’m feeling positive too, but life doesn’t always work out. This is too important, though, for the Forces of Good to lose this nation. Still, we have made a lot of mistakes (electing a certain dangerous person president only because of the bigotry of political correctness was a bad one). It’s going to be a tough battle. But you’re right. Reagan took on the Soviet Union and people thought him crazy. But he damn won.
Lots of heads on this snake and some are not within the nation.
The PR on this is horrible for the dims. It’s going to be very hard to cast this as Obama being worried about national security.
Obama tapped the phone lines of his political opponent... nuff said
0 went way beyond the narrow focus, because President Trump said —his phones— were tapped.
Beware the Ides of March.
