MR PRESIDENT,

Even Oprah Winfrey wants you to De-Classify Everything surrounding this attempted coup and seditious conspiracy to overthrow the United States Government. see here:

“The truth exonerates, and it convicts,” she said. “It disinfects, and it galvanizes. The truth has always been and will always be our shield against corruption, our shield against greed and despair. The truth is our saving grace.”
Oprah Winfrey

Give Oprah what she wants, the TRUTH!!! De-Classify Everything!

Because they have been anti-American minions for a long time now.

Ruby Ridge, Waco, Filegate, Malheur spring immediately to mind.

For decades, their crimes and delicts have been directed towards assisting Statist or Leftist agendas.

“Oh, but they are good people in the rank and file.” - maybe in such departments as the techs. Not the operatives though. Their silence makes them complicit. They will all defend the Horiuchi or the Comey among them.

Weasels.

The FBI/DOJ/Obama/Hillary figured that if they were able to stay on top of the Trump campaign strategy, they’d be able to be a step ahead of everything he did, and then beat him. And why not, it worked great against Romney - they flipped that around virtually overnight.

The problem with Trump’s strategy was that only Trump knew it, and they still can’t read brainwaves. So all they got was White Noise...what they thought was mass confusion, when it was simply a disinformation campaign by Trump.

But nice try on the part of the Deep State - with any other Republican, that level of domestic spying would have sunk their campaign.

Obviously because they thought they could get away with it.

To keep control of the status quo. Beat Trump by any means necessary, regardless of the public will.

National Security Action

OUR MISSION

National Security Action is dedicated to advancing American global leadership and opposing the reckless policies of the Trump administration that endanger our national security and undermine U.S. strength in the world.

This groups has as its core mission, removing Trump from office. He threatens the status quo order.

Any private enterprise that engaged in activity similar to that of the FBI would have been shut down and its officers jailed.

ANY first step to cleaning up the mess that FBI is currently is to disband the intelligence apparatus, followed by legislation barring the FBI from engaging in spying on ALL American citizens.

The answer to “why they did it” is clear. The Communist were not about to lose this time around. Ole’ Joe McCarthy cut short their coup attempt last time, so this time they were going for broke, and broke is all she wrote. No getting off easy and running back into their holes to hide this time around. The bastards need to be rounded up, hung or put behind bars for a long, long time.

FWIW,

Glenn Simpson, Fusion GPS, testified that the FBI had a source inside the Trump Campaign.

Conservative Treehouse and Sundance, has done exceptional work covering this story from the start. He suggests that the “Inside” agent is/was Stefan Halper.

My bet is that the “Inside source” may have been Carter Page.

As Strassel summarizes, “The department knew full well it should have turned this material over last year… but deliberately chose… to conceal it.”

**************

Of course they concealed it.

Anyone who has ever worked inside a large government bureaucracy soon realizes that that bureaucracy's only real mission is to protect itself.

That is why congressional oversight is so essential. But even then, most hearings on the Hill are just political theater and not intended to really hold anyone accountable. Their only concern is re-election.

So we are left with electing a president to do the job.

“Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.”― Mark Twain

The same must be applied to bureaucrats. Move them around frequently so they are less able to cause harm.

****************

Trump’s strategy is so clear and honest that they cannot comprehend it. He see’s things that are wrong and commits to fixing them. Simple as that.

Trump has a businessman’s approach to running things: stay focused on taking care of the business at hand. The politicians, who cannot fathom how Trump operates, are only interested in avoiding responsibility and furthering their own careers. Its no wonder they never accomplish anything.

Why did the Obama administration spy on the Trump campaign? To ensure a Hillary win and a continuation of Obamunist policies.

TERM LIMIT the b@$t@rd$ out. Two terms in the house, out. Two terms in the senate, out. Require all political campaign contributions to be ANONYMOUS. They can't sell influence if they don't know who is buying.

Any American citizen or institution should be permitted to donate to any candidate or party they choose, in any amount they wish. That is FREEDOM. But anything promised, given or received in return for contributions is BRIBERY, a CRIME. Lock 'em up- both of 'em!

I meant, my answer to “Did the FBI” was “YES” “YES”.

I missed seeing the word “Why” since the headline softened the charge by saying “and/or”.

The FIB has repeatedly lied. Look at Comeystain.
