There is a Russian Scandal. But It's Hillary's Scandal.
Townhall ^ | March 8, 2017 | By Wayne Allyn Root

Posted on 03/07/2017 11:48:38 PM PST by Brad from Tennessee

The entire “Trump Russian scandal” narrative is complete utter nonsense. Democrats are so desperate to stop Trump, they’re clinging to a Saturday Night Live comedy skit- with the full cooperation of their liberal lackeys in the mainstream media.

They’ve just made a YUGE mistake. And it’s all going to blow up in their face. There is a "Russian influence scandal." It just has nothing to do with President Trump.

It belongs to Hilary and the Democrats.

First, a few Trump aides had conversations with the Russian ambassador, or Russian officials. Trump Attorney General Jeff Sessions was a U.S. Senator at the time. That’s part of his job.

But talk about hypocrisy. It turns out many Democrat U.S. Senators had the same meetings. So did House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi. They all met with the same Russian Ambassador.

Secondly, Democrats seem to think talking to Russians is a crime. They even throw around words like “treason.” But they see no issue with Democrats taking millions of dollars from Russians? . . .

Difficult to argue with the logic. Dreaming if they think Russia will dump her emails - bad form. One minor correction - her husband was the one who technically received the speaking fees including 500k thirty minute chat, but common law and all, I suppose the money was also hers even though she was the Sec. of State.

Major crime right in the open and it raises the right question... who did the Russians influence? Trump who *insert media gasps here* said nice things about Putin or the couple they paid at least 150 million dollars? You be the judge. It is sad that the media is not more interested in this, but I am starting to think Trump might be feeling it.

The real kicker for me is that they made Eric Trump end his charity. It was not even a piece of ash on the sole of the Clinton Foundation shoe, but they had the gall to make him shut it down so there was not any “impropriety.” It is almost as if our journalism schools rob the young reporter of sight.

No better place to start and no bigger message could be sent. Show all the little fish in the swamp that no fish is too big.

Democrats are too stupid to survive the Pandora’s box they’ve opened on themselves.

Just keep in mind that the Democrats *always* accuse Republicans of what they themselves are doing. It then becomes apparent that their continued harping on an imaginary Trump/Russia connection and inability to let it go, despite the stubborn refusal of any fact surfacing to support their narrative, is driven by their frantic desire to misdirect. In the past, they have had some measure of success in tarring Republicans by blaming them for Democrat crimes—but the people are much more informed now, and the efforts to do so are falling flat.

I, for one, would love to see that whole nest of vipers cleaned up. Why doesn’t Congress go for Hillary and her money laundering “foundation”? What about its own members who were not rich before they entered Congress, but became rich after?

The more corrupt the politicians are, the more ethical standards they subject government employees to. I can’t take a gift worth more than $20 as a government employee, because that could be a bribe, but Hillary could take millions for selling influence???

The Rats are “projectionists.” It’s a great way to understand them.

“The Rats are ‘projectionists.’ It’s a great way to understand them.”

They’re also cosmic punks, capable of anything to further their aims, always dwelling in the realm of psychosis, presuming to be superior intellectual geniuses.

I don’t believe Trump wants to go after the Clintons, which would start a political war with the Left he doesn’t want. But he is already in a war with them, therefore he should take the battle to them hugely.

A Clinton arrest would so outrage the Left that it would focus all their efforts to save Hillary. The MSM couldn’t resist the conflict, even though Clinton crime would finally be the center of attention. All other Leftist disruption of America & Trump would fall by the way side. Panic on the Left would cause them to commit serious unforced errors; leakers would expose themselves. Their efforts to defend the indefensible will destroy their political credibility & doom the Democratic Party.

Add to that the probable indictment of a host of Obama’s corruptocrats including The One himself.

“Draining the Swamp” is an amusing phrase, but the reality is that it means rooting out corruptocrats from both parties & government. Indictments are the surest method of doing that. Trump will not win this war by political means alone & he comes to the battle with the least political experience.

Trump has the power of the Presidency - he should use it to it fullest. Just as Obama LEGALLY spied on his enemies, so should Trump. Obama, Clinton, & Soros should top the list.

And if Jeff Sessions’ Justice Dept. can’t or wont convince a grand jury to indict Hillary Clinton, then Sessions/Comey & Co. need to resign.

I still want an investigation into President Obama placing a half a billion in foreign currency on a pallet and secretly shipping it to a known terrorist supporting country.

Trump really reminds me of Samson in thy Bible. Samson would have been content to leave the Philistines, Israeli’s enemies, alone, except God raised him up to conquer them. They ended up repeatily angering Samson so much that be fought them, destroying many of them, and delivering Israel in the process.

If the dems had been smart and laid low Trump likely would have left them alone. As it is they are pushing his hand. Hopefully he will therefore be highly motivated to get them. God may be using him, in responds to our prayers, to push them back and down liberating many people from them, like he also used Samson. Wouldn’t it be lovely!?

All true, but I believe it goes much deeper than just projecting and psychosis. The core at it all is deception, deceiving others as well as themselves, and the origination of that deception is nothing less than evil itself.
Gentlemen, we are in a spiritual war.

IMHO, Trump made huge mistake for not keeping promise to prosecute Hitlery.

In the light of Vault 7 it is still not too late.
