I agree entirely, and this includes ill-informed ‘know-it-alls’ in academics as well as in political positions and government agencies. The not-so-smart ‘intelligentsia’ and ‘elite’ on both sides of the sea are a danger.
I know you were also referring to the previous administration in the White House as those at the ‘tippy top’, but our former President is also a member of that pseudo-intelligentsia who are vastly arrogant, self-convinced, dogmatically ideological, and thus feel justified in trampling the rights of others (particularly those who don't share their worldview).
Collyer has been pointing out the abuses for several years. Hopefully with the Recused One back home making cookies, the Not Recused One will do the right thing.
Time will tell. If Joe D. is optimistic that Barr will do his job, then so am I.
This goes all the way up to the tippy top and beyond across the sea.

The involvement/participation by some of our “allies” in this plot needs to be exposed. It certainly appears that some elements within their intelligence services participated in this clear abuse of power and attempt to undermine our government.
If our republic is to survive in its current form we need to know every domestic and foreign actor who was part of this expansive plot.
I'd bet a batch of my favorite food dishes ( Joe D-G ) that it began somewhere between 2009 and 2010, I bet it wasn't just the IRS going after the Tea Party groups I bet those of us that participated have "files". If so I give them the Italian Salute and view it as a badge of honor.......
I too hope that diGenova’s predictions are true and that they are just the tip of the iceberg. The damn is about to break wide open and reveal the machinery and cabal behind the plot. Its now clear that the plot was complex and expansive, involving dozens of people and even foreign “allies”. I think we’re going to be surprised when the details become clearer as to the magnitude of the effort against Trump.
These people don’t HAVE a conscience - it is all about power over others, period.I agree, it's beginning, middle, and end are all about power to them.
I always thought Obama had some 'dirty pictures" of Roberts that were used to force him to come out with that twisted logic in favor of ObamaCare as tax instead of a fine, even though Obama sold it as the exact opposite.
I also never understood the logic of jerks like Jeff Flake saying he wasn't running again for the Senate because he didn't like Trump.
He was in the Senate. What did his job have to do with Trump? Nothing.
Besides having very low polling numbers in his re-election bid, I thought "they" (the powers to be) had something nefarious on Flake and threatened to expose him.
The Obama administration used their illegal spying scheme to chip away at their opposition party and it's elected members to weaken them.
Such a theory used to be dismissed as some delusional ramblings of a Republican fanatic. But nowadays, with these revelations about the 4-year FISA abuse to spy on Americans, it's not so far-fetched.
I bet it wasn’t just the IRS going after the Tea Party groups I bet those of us that participated have “files”.

I bet you are right. I donated to the Tea Party many times and pretty much assumed my name would wind up on some “dissident” list somewhere. But I earned the right to express my views as a law abiding citizen and a military veteran, and I refused to be silenced by anyone.
We must check these politically motivated abuses of power regardless of who was involved. The very future of our republic depends on it.
Agreed. I was first introduced to them on Geraldo Rivera's nightly show (I believe on FOX). Geraldo was doing a nightly wrap up of the O.J. Simpson trial, and both Joe and Victoria were frequent guests.
Your comment was worth a lot more than two cents. It was priceless. I totally agree that the FISA abuses were the inevitable result of prior spying activities. It all escalated over several years time and people need to know that. I think the duration and eventual magnitude of the effort will surprise many.
When the details emerge about the targeting of Trump, Republicans office holders, and conservative activists we will better be able to understand the extent of political spying and its effects on 2016 and earlier events. Its all going to come out eventually.
Roberts was probably one of the early targets. If so, its easy to see how that that brazen abuse of power and successful act of intimidation could lead to further abuses and expansive surveillance against other political targets and lying to the FISA courts. It was one big slippery slope.
What was said in total in that interview that was that sensitive and against the FOX / deep-state of which sometimes FOX is part of.

a legal rain of ruin is about to befall the deep state operatives who tried to steal the 2016 election and, failing that, to unwind the result.
Do I start holding my breath right now?
