A Seinfeld Impeachment
The American Spectator ^ | September 30, 2019 | Jed Babbin

Posted on 09/30/2019 10:16:25 AM PDT by AnalogReigns

They raise a number of questions about the conversation and the unidentified “whistleblower,” but they manifestly do not demonstrate that Trump should be impeached.

Remember the running gag on Seinfeld that the whole show was about “nothing”? This is going to be a “Seinfeld impeachment”: it, too, is about nothing.

.........

The fact that the IC-IG labeled the complaint “credible and urgent” proves that the IC-IG did so in willful evasion of the law describing his jurisdiction. Atkinson wanted Congress to create, as Pelosi and Schiff have, an uproar when the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel told the acting Director of National Intelligence that, because the president and the White House are not part of the intelligence community, he should not turn the complaint over to Congress because the law did not require him to do so.

From these facts we have to infer that Atkinson may have either collaborated with the so-called whistleblower or was directed to so by someone higher within the CIA, such as CIA Director Gina Haspel. The IG-IC is supposedly working directly for the Director of National Intelligence. The acting DNI, Vice Admiral Joe Maguire (U.S. Navy, Retired) is someone I know to be entirely trustworthy and not at all political. (He demonstrated that last week in a HPSCI hearing chaired by Schiff.)

Haspel, who is former CIA director John Brennan’s protégé, is comprehensively untrustworthy.

....the “whistleblower” (who may have been a CIA employee stationed at the White House) had a lot of help crafting it.

..........

Mark these words: if Trump is reelected next year, the Dems — and their partisans in the intelligence community and the media — will maintain a steady drumbeat of these sorts of charges against him. Their political hysteria won’t allow them to stop.

The current Director of the CIA, Gina Haspel, is a Brennan pick.... First it was the corrupt FBI which tried to destroy Trump, now it's the corrupt CIA.

Can you imagine the actually productive and useful intelligence produced by the CIA employee selected to play the role of “whistleblower”? I can’t because I suspect it’s nothing more than crap. Our intelligence agencies are filled with many (but certainly not all) civil servants drawing paychecks and benefits but producing nothing of value. That’s my informed opinion.

Trump’s biggest error is NOT cleaning house. It continues to bit him in the ass.

The Democrats have built a huge house of cards. This is all going to come down in spectacular fashion. I’m just waiting for the puff of air.

It’s hard to clean house when the people you pick to clean house turn out to be part of the swamp themselves.

In retrospect, we should have impeached Obama for either no or a fraudulent birth certificate. Ignored facts, created a narrative, and just pushed it through.

Whole thing stinks, starting with the sudden unexplained revision of the whistleblower laws which now allow second-hand complaints coming only a month before this fairytale complaint was entered - a disgrace......

That might be the reason PDJT did not clean house.
Think about it. GOAL: Gather ALL the MARBLES. Much more difficult when the round, colorful objects are scattered here and there outside the circle. Much easier if they are trapped in a pen of some type. To cleanse the government and drain the swamp, every diseased d’rat/commie must be torn out by the roots. Not one can remain because like “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”, those that remain can easily multiply, giving US the same he!! we’ve already seen.

Think Gen. Patton and how he might handle this situation. He wouldn’t think twice before taking extreme, unusual action to get the job done.
