Hillary Ruins the Plan
National Review ^ | 8/14/2019 | Andrew McCarthy

Posted on 08/14/2019 8:11:25 PM PDT by RightGeek

Editor’s note: Andrew C. McCarthy’s new book is Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency. This is the first in a series of excerpts.

There really was a collusion plot. It really did target our election system. It absolutely sought to usurp our capacity for self-determination. It was just not the collusion you’ve been told about for nearly three years. It was not “Donald Trump’s collusion with Russia.”

Here is the real collusion scheme: In 2016, the incumbent Democratic administration of President Barack Obama put the awesome powers of the United States government’s law-enforcement and intelligence apparatus in the service of the Hillary Rodham Clinton presidential campaign, the Democratic party, and the progressive Beltway establishment. This scheme had two parts: Plan A, the objective; and Plan B, a fail-safe strategy in case Plan A imploded — which all the smartest people were supremely confident would never, ever happen . . . which is why you could bet the ranch that it would.

Plan A was to get Mrs. Clinton elected president of the United States. This required exonerating her, at least ostensibly, from well-founded allegations of her felonious and politically disqualifying actions.

Plan B was the insurance policy: an investigation that Donald Trump, in the highly unlikely event he was elected, would be powerless to shut down. An investigation that would simultaneously monitor and taint him. An investigation that internalized Clinton-campaign-generated opposition research, limning Trump and his campaign as complicit in Russian espionage. An investigation that would hunt for a crime under the guise of counterintelligence, build an impeachment case under the guise of hunting for a crime, and seek to make Trump un-reelectable under the guise of building an impeachment case.

Read the whole thing. Some people should hang. I am not confident they will, but hope springs eternal.

Plan B might include killing Scalia beforehand ... just in case they need that vote on the Court.

I remember being called a fringe lunatic by McCarthy himself for telling him, way back when he was all open minded and giving benefits of the doubt to the Obama gang, basically the same thing he just printed here sans the hat tips to the TDS crowd.

I think plan B was created after Trump won, Trump wasn’t suppose to win, Hillary was going to win in an epic landslide. Plan B was created election night and the weeks after.

Plan A was for Hillary to go after Trump with the Russian Collusion and put him and his Family in prison for the rest of their lives. The idea was to destroy his movement and preserve the deep state for the next 50 years. Trump was going to be the lesson, this is what happens when you disrupt the system, you and your family goes to jail. That was the plan.

Inside the swamp cretins don’t know how transparent they are to outsiders looking in. They are not as clever as they think they are.

Was Jeff Sessions part of this? As AG, he had all the power in the world to shut-down or at least choose the direction this Comey/Rosenstein/Strzok/McCabe deep state coup attempt would take. Yet he quickly removed himself from any control over the situation, and on the flimsiest of pretexts. It makes me think he is as rotten and traitorous as any of the others.

And NOBODY will touch Clinton,Obama or anyone else involved. I am so numb to this garbage and feel sick to my stomach that the rule of law is dead and America will soon follow.

Nothing we didn’t know already. McCarthy was/is a NeverTrumper. His comment that Hillary was a mirror image of Trump with the same basic defects is disgusting.

I was thinking the same thing. We were kooks for questioning the integrity of the Justice Dept.

You may be right about America, but Clinton and Obama will give accounts before Almighty God at the end of their lives. I doubt that they’re thinking about that.

In all my years the word “limnning” has eluded my vocabulary. Reckon I can gather meaning from the context.

This the kind of crap we get when some unveiled, 3rd world, gay, muslim communist usurper is allowed to take the POTUS. This is what the RATs foisted upon the People while the GOPe stood by and did NOTHING, absolutely nothing, to stop it.
Not only should their “mighty odongo” be in a cage at GITMO, but so should the PIAPS and ALL their other evil, communist ilk that took part in it. They should ALL be tried by a military tribunal and if found guilty, summarily executed asap.

“Flimsiest of pretexts?” Sessions participated in the Trump campaign. You don’t make him AG and expect him to prosecute political foes. Better to let the political foes step in it, as they have, and have an impartial AG examine all statutory ramifications.

I have yet to see statutes cited that prohibit employees of the FBI from using their offices to partisan ends. Are we going to prosecute internal violations of FBI policy?

What little good that does to those millions of decent people on this planet whose lives have been ruined by them and continued to be ruined as long as they are living. The same goes for Soros. Some f*cking trade-off. It sucks.
