A lot of people despise Donald Trump. I don’t care for him myself and I’ve made no secret of it, but during the heat of last presidential campaign some people took things a little too far. It appears, and I think it will be made clearer that the Clinton campaign hired a law firm to collect opposition research on Donald Trump. How hard could that be? That firm then hired a retired Trump hating British intelligence operator (Christopher Steele) who then bought some dirt from the Russian government (whose motives were pure) and put together the “Steele Dossier”. They shopped it around to the press, but had no immediate takers. Then somehow John McCain (another Trump hater) and his staff got hold of it and it wound up in the hands of a group of Trump haters over at the FBI.
This was going on at the same time that the 0bama administration was outing anyone who had ever been tangentially involved with any secret investigations (unmasking they call it) and spreading their names all over town. Susan Power, the United Nations Ambassador requested the unmasking of 260 individuals during her last year in office. You might ask, (we all might ask) why would the UN Ambassador be so actively involved in any counter terrorism investigations? Don’t we have spooks for such things? In any case, some folks in the Department of Justice and the intelligence community saw an opportunity that didn’t seem to have a down side. They would make the public aware of this information to try and effect the election. But it hardly mattered, Hillary was favored to win by a mile, so this was just a little insurance. Then after the stunning upset of November 7, 2016 they shifted gears. They would end Trump’s tenure as president prematurely or cripple his administration so that he would be unable to accomplish any of his stated goals in regards to immigration, healthcare, the economy, or foreign policy. He was accused of colluding with the Russian government to rig the outcome of the election.
A Special Prosecutor was appointed. He assembled a “Hunter Killer” team of 19 Trump hating, Hillary donating criminal prosecutors, 40 FBI agents, forensic accountants and enough professional staff to serve them. Together, they issued almost 3,000 subpoenas, executed 500 search warrants, issued over 200 orders for communications records, issued 50 orders for the use of “pen registers” to spy (err…. Investigate) who investigative targets were talking to, made 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence and interviewed 500 witnesses, to paraphrase the new Attorney General.
And what did this team of ultra-partisan political assassins come up with in the way of collusion with the Russian government?? Absolutely nothing.
What Robert Mueller did say that they found was evidence that Trump and his administration may have tried to commit obstruction of justice. But they also noted that in any case they were unsuccessful. That they freely made all of the requested witnesses and documents available. They did, however loudly and frequently complain that they were innocent of any wrong doing and that the investigation was a partisan witch hunt.
So let’s get this straight, because it’s important. Donald Trump and his administration on the basis of opposition research were essentially charged with treason and no evidence of that was found. They also complained about the legality, fairness and partisan nature of the investigation and indicated that they might try to stop it, but nothing they ever said or did had any affect. So, no obstruction either.
And now the clever people in the House of Representatives like Adam Shiff, who for two years has claimed that he had seen evidence of collaboration between Russia and the Trump administration and the Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelsoi have backed off of their impeachment mantras. But others like Eric Swalwel and Maxine Waters remain adamant. So now we know what the democrat party will be using as a talking point during the coming election season. It won’t be the Green New Deal, because that’s a farce, and it won’t be the childlike birthday wish list of giveaways that would make Greece look austere. It won’t be the economy because growth is good. Unemployment is down. Real wages are rising for the first time in many years. People are keeping more of their own money. No, they are going to use in their own public hearings and provide to a complicit media all of the evidence gathered by a crack Hunter Killer Team of political apparatchiks where it will be handed over to a crowd of equally zealous, but far less qualified “news anchors” and “comedians” so the material can be massaged and used to retry this case in the court of public opinion.
And in the end what will the product be? Impeachment? No, that’s been taken off the table. What we’re going to find out is that Donald Trump is a loud mouthed boorish braggart. Exactly what we knew three years ago. And in the meantime, democrats have sworn not to work with the President on anything. And so our borders are being overrun by Central Americans and nothing is being done about our broken out dated immigration system. The opioid crisis continues. Suicides are increasing. Life spans are decreasing, and the hysterical Balkanization of our culture continues apace.
And it should be noted that at any given time, the goal of the Russian government, led by a ruthless former KGB operative, is to undermine American any way it can, either geopolitically, or culturally. And when they sold that opposition research to Christopher Steele that’s just what they did, and why they did it.
Good job democrats.
But that’s just what an average guy thinks.
