Sean Davis: If Nobody Goes To Prison For Russia Hoax, It Will Happen Again
The Federalist ^ | October 7, 2020 | Jordan Davidson

Posted on 10/07/2020 10:23:26 AM PDT by gattaca

The Federalist Co-Founder Sean Davis called for accountability of U.S. officials involved in the Russian collusion hoax on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on Tuesday.

Despite the widespread knowledge of a false campaign against Trump among U.S. officials, Davis said many have yet to pay for their actions which could yield extensive consequences for the nation.

“If nobody is made to pay for this, if nobody goes to prison, it’s going to happen again,” Davis said. “And when it happens again, because these people are going to be completely emboldened by the lack of accountability, it will be far worse, even though that may be hard to imagine. Far worse than what they did in 2016, which itself was criminal.”

Davis discussed the recent release of declassified information indicating that the CIA director knew about “Russian knowledge of Hillary Clinton’s anti-Trump collusion smear operation” and that former President Barack Obama was briefed about it, but did nothing.

“It wasn’t just at the FBI. The CIA knew it, the CIA director knew it. The President of the United States was briefed on it in the Oval Office and the Russians knew it,” Davis said. “That’s important because as the FBI was pretending to look into whether Trump was colluding with the Russians, our own intelligence services knew that Russia was aware of Clinton’s plans and therefore able, and possibly likely, to start injecting disinformation of their own into her entire process, which is what actually happened.”

This lack of accountability, according to both Carlson and Davis is “undermining democracy” in the U.S. and should raise significant concerns for the future.

“This wasn’t just some sort of silly game that had no real consequences or implications. These people used this to cast doubt on our election. They talk about the integrity of our democracy. They were the ones crapping all over it,” Davis said. “After Trump was inaugurated, they went and hijacked the presidency, they tried to cripple it. They put in this completely bogus special counsel based on false pretenses to cripple the administration heading right into the 2018 elections.”

“You want to live in a place where the CIA operates indefinitely from the president against the favored party’s political enemies? I can’t imagine anything more third-world,” Carlson added.

It will happen again. Trump needed to clear the top floor at every agency upon his arrival in DC. Anyone promoted into leadership under Obama needed to be fired or transferred to Outer Mongolia. Not doing this cost him dearly.

This might not be necessary after any other president. But Obama wasn’t an ordinary president, his regime wasn’t an ordinary regime.

There’s not much talk about Trump’s tweet about declassifying Russiagate and emailgate. Did I dream it?

It’s been a pattern since Sandy Berger got a slap on the wrist. If not before.

“Trump’s tweet about declassifying Russiagate and emailgate. Did I dream it?”

“I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents”

That’s an authorization for the Deep State to do so, not an order to do it. But I also fell into the expectation something would happen. Shrug. Live and learn.

Lots of incriminating stuff has ALREADY been released, and we have video evidence and CONFESSION of the pedophile’s crimes.

Result?

Bilbo Bagpipes has defended himself to Rats for having gone after Trump supporters.

There was a recent article on FR about the Battle of Savo Island during WWII.

We lost and a few cruisers were sunk.

Many of the crew of these ships were rescued.

They were taken to an island and left there for several months.

They could easily have been transported back to the US.

Why weren’t they?

Because they would have talked about the battle and made FDR and his Democrats look bad.

It was politics that kept them on that island.

The Democrats will hide lots of things if they think it might hurt them politically.

If there is no accountability in higher up places and law and order no longer applies to them, how does anyone expect the general public to comply with law and order?

Sandy B, if alive, would wish he had written an anti-American “tell-all” book against Republicans.

Look how well it’s worked for Comey, Brennan and Clapper!

with what news agency reporting it??

I want you to be right.

But the news companies that will report it...it’s mostly just conservatives that read them

I am very saddened to say that this once great country is utterly corrupt.

Our country is not utterly corrupt, but our Federal government is.
