For weeks, Republicans have been obsessed with FBI agent Peter Strzok, suggesting that he was part of a cabal inside the agency who sought to rig the 2016 presidential election for Hillary Clinton. To support this theory, the GOP has seized upon texts between Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page that were sometimes critical of Trump. (Strzok and Page were having an affair.)
Last week, Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) suggested that Strzok and Page formed a “secret society” to undermine the Trump campaign. “What this is all about is further evidence of corruption — more than bias — but corruption of the highest levels of the FBI… There is so much smoke here,” Johnson said.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Trump accused Strzok of “treason.” If you watch Fox News, the supposed anti-Trump bias of Strzok is discussed daily, if not hourly.
But on Wednesday, CNN reported that Strzok supported reopening the Hillary Clinton email investigation days before the election — and wrote the first draft of the letter from former FBI Director James Comey that made the decision public.
"Strzok, who co-wrote what appears to be the first draft that formed the basis of the letter Comey sent to Congress, also supported reopening the Clinton investigation once the emails were discovered on disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner’s laptop, according to a source familiar with Strzok’s thinking. The day after Strzok sent his draft to his colleagues, Comey released the letter to Congress, reigniting the email controversy in the final days of the campaign."
The letter drafted by Strzok played a key role in swinging momentum back to Trump in the closing days of the campaign.
That letter is credited with essentially handing the 2016 election to Donald Trump.
So if Strzok was actually playing for "Team Hillary" why the fuck would he sabotage her chances at victory?
We Democrats should be the ones calling for this guy's head on a platter, but due to a few private emails with his girlfriend, it's the Republicans who are stabbing their savior in the back.
I'll say this once again. If there was in fact a Secret Society, Trump would not be breathing today. There goes that conspiracy.

Delete" Hannity has gone to the wall to push for the public release of the memo, which the Intelligence Committee and its chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), authorized this week in a party-line vote despite the classified information therein.
Sources say Hannity’s persistent advocacy reinforced Trump’s already growing determination to get that memo into the public realm—despite huge potential fallout within the law enforcement and intelligence arms of his own administration."
"“Man, are you a warrior—you’re a warrior!” Trump told a person in the group, according to three sources present. “We’re all warriors in this fight.”"

"There is no greater Left-wing invented slur than ‘McCarthyism.’
Joe McCarthy was right (read the Stan Evans expose, which @AnnCoulter called the greatest book since The Bible).
‘McCarthyism’ is actually what the Left did to him. Now the intended victim is @realDonaldTrump. "

Obamacare will survive as Republicans give up on repeal
ReplyDelete...After Doug Jones won the Alabama special Senate election in December, the bare Republican Senate majority has no viable path left for a more substantial repeal plan; the math in a 51-seat majority is too daunting. Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) remain opposed to taking up repeal. Senate leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has already said that Republicans would probably move on from health care.
So the party’s long-held promise to repeal Obamacare root and branch appears to be actually, finally dead.

Thank you for what?"Maybe it's the calm before the storm,” he said to the gaggle of reporters. “Could be. The calm before the storm. We have the world's great military people in this room, I will tell you that. And we're going to have a great evening. Thank you all for coming.”
ReplyDeleteA reporter requested clarification about what Trump said: “What storm, Mr. President?”
“You'll find out. Thank you, everybody,”"
"“The storm” represents a shift from tropes that have existed in conservative circles for years, according to Mark Fenster, a law professor at the University of Florida who is the author of a book about conspiracy theories in American culture. Fenster said the most striking change of the Trump era is the degree to which the integrity of U.S. law enforcement agencies is being questioned by conservatives and being defended by liberals, who have traditionally been more critical of the agencies. Fenster called it a "truly bizarre flip of circumstances." "

"The “Q” internet posts began appearing three weeks after Trump’s cryptic remark about “the storm.” The anonymous user would ask questions referring to the idea that Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama and George Soros could potentially be arrested or detained, and would make random claims such as: “This has nothing to do with Russia (yet),” apparently referring to his own internet writings. People started cobbling together the posts and reporting them to one another as clues in what they saw as a larger puzzle. One phrase that gets bandied about a lot on #Qanon threads is “Follow the white rabbit,”"

Don't they always do that? Seems like Trump is really ungrateful to those that do that. Like firing Steve Bannon. Bannon won him the presidency and he turned on him.
ReplyDeleteFor Trump, loyalty is a one way street. He demands it but never gives it.
I'd be very wary of doing Trump any favors. Once you do you have a target on your back.
