The Russia Hoax As Contingency Plan

Remember, back in August, 2016, when Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were obsessively texting one another? One exchange went something like, well, exactly like this:

"[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!" Page texted Strzok.
"No. No he won’t. We’ll stop it," Strzok responded.

Fast forward a couple of years and here we are in October, 2018, just about two years after Trump's electoral triumph, and for reasons best known to themselves Ben Rhodes and Jen Psaki have decided to reveal to New York Magazine that the Russia Hoax was a key part of the Obama Administration's -- and presumably the Clinton campaign's -- contingency plan to, well, steal an election: Obama Had a Secret Plan in Case Trump Rejected 2016 Election Results. We're all adults -- right? -- so there's no need to quibble over the meaning of words like "results." Here's what Rhodes and Psaki are saying:

The Obama White House plan, according to interviews with Rhodes and Jen Psaki, Obama’s communications director, called for congressional Republicans, former presidents, and former Cabinet-level officials including Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, to try and forestall a political crisis by validating the election result. In the event that Trump tried to dispute a Clinton victory, they would affirm the result as well as the conclusions reached by the U.S. intelligence community that Russian interference in the election sought to favor Trump, and not Clinton. Some Republicans were already aware of Russian interference from intelligence briefings given to leaders from both parties during the chaotic months before the election. “We wanted to handle the Russia information in a way that was as bipartisan as possible,” Rhodes said.

But Democrat-Russia collusion is no hoax.

“called for congressional Republicans, former presidents, and former Cabinet-level officials including Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice”

“Some Republicans were already aware of Russian interference from intelligence briefings given to leaders from both parties during the chaotic months before the election.”

In case anyone still suffers from the delusion that Bushies and other Establishment Repubicans are to be trusted.

No. Nor would Hillary, who colluded with foreigners since the days of Charlie Trie, winning have been a crisis.

But to the Left the Left losing is a crisis.

I hope they get a lot more crisis in November.

bump.

Curious that they are admitting this. Seems odd if these two are at any risk as conspirators. So they must not be.

But they are doing a good job of pointing a finger at some other rats.

So we know what they meant by “the insurance policy.”

But what did he mean by “Our Secret Society?”

Who was in their Secret Society and what were they going to do?

“But Democrat-Russia collusion is no hoax.”

And the methods that they used to create it will land some of the Deep State players in jail. But we will probably have to settle for having ringleaders Obama and Hillary disgraced and exposed as un-indicted co-conspirators.

He should be, but he’ll escape. And for once it won’t be because of his race, it will be because no one wants to set the precedent of jailing ex-Presidents even if they get exposed for committing felonies in office.

Of course, that courtesy will get jettisoned the first time that the Left gets back in power. And it won’t even require a crime for them to start jailing their rivals.

Probably Strzok, Page, the Ohrs, Baker, McCabe, Steele, Simpson, the usual crew that The Conservative Treehouse features in their graphic which I can’t find to post right now.

Enriching themselves with massive tax money. We should have hangings.
