The Media Mounts a Final Desperate Effort to Protect Barack Obama
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 05/04/2019 3:57:43 AM PDT by EyesOfTX

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)

The fake news media is going into overdrive. – Over the last 48 hours, we have now had the three fakest fake news outlets push their toadyism on behalf of the panicking Democrats and Deep State to a new level. On Wednesday night, the New York Times put the deep state spin on the Obama FBI’s spying operations against the Trump Campaign; Thursday night saw the release of CNN’s latest fake poll, a desperate effort to prop up the flagging campaign of Irish Bob O’Rourke; and Friday afternoon, the reliable old Washington Post jumped in with an op/ed from the execrable hack Paul Waldman.

Waldman’s piece is an obvious effort to set the narrative for the deep state as Attorney General William Barr pursues his own investigations into the origins of the Obama FBI/DOJ/CIA spying operations against the Trump Campaign. The goal of this narrative is to smear Barr – who, it is now obvious, is our nation’s first real, functional attorney general concerned about the rule of law in over a decade – in an effort to render any findings he makes as illegitimate, nothing but the work of Donald Trump weaponizing the Department of Justice to go after his opponents.

It is, in other words, the ultimate case of the media/Democrat favorite tactic of Projection: The tactic of accusing your opponents of doing exactly the things you yourself are in fact guilty of having done.

This is the beginning of a desperate effort by the Democrat/media propaganda complex to provide one final layer of cover for the head honcho who actually did deploy the FBI and DOJ and CIA to attack his opponents. It’s an operation designed to protect the guy who oversaw the entire operation and actively guided it – America’s Worst Mistake, Barack Hussein Obama. For those of us who have been paying close attention to all of the information that has come out into the public domain, Obama’s fingerprints have always been all over this illegal spying operation mounted against the opposition party’s presidential campaign.

The spying on the Trump Campaign was mounted as a counterintelligence operation by the FBI, recommended first by CIA Director John Brennan, authorized by FBI Director James Comey and managed by Deputy Chief of the Counterintelligence Division Peter Strzok. As a matter of routine, the President of the United States is given weekly briefings of the FBI’s counterintelligence operations. At the very least, Obama was fully aware of everything that was going on, a reality borne out in myriad text messages between Strzok and his paramour Lisa Page.

All of this and so much more is a matter of public record already – it is not in doubt. The fake news media has done everything it can to keep the public living in blissful ignorance about it all, but more and more Americans become aware every day, and that trend will speed up massively with the release of the pending Horowitz reports and the coming declassification of all of the underlying documents by President Trump, which will also begin to take place in the coming weeks.

So Barr must be smeared – it’s the media’s only remaining shield for Obama His Own Self. And it isn’t just Barr – other key players must and will be smeared as well.

You should expect the Post or the Times to quickly begin mounting a similar smear campaign against DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, since he is supposed to issue his own reports on a) the rampant Obama-era abuse of the FISA process, and b) the leaking habits of ex-FBI Director and current Teen Drama Queen James Comey in the coming weeks. Why? Because all the perceived enemies of the Deep State/Democrat Party must be smeared. Their reputations must be besmirched as a matter of protecting the media’s puppet masters.

What about Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham? You should expect to soon see the media mounting a smear campaign against him as well, since he is promising to use his committee to mount its own investigation into the origins of the spying operation. Graham, a life-long bachelor, has long been the subject of rumors that he is a closeted gay man. Already, we are seeing despicable cretins like Rosie O’Donnell, Alec Baldwin and Chelsea Handler launching gay smears at him via their own Twitter accounts. You should expect to see the Usual Suspect media outlets – The Post, the Times, CNN, MSNBC, etc. – to soon start running stories pushing rumors about Graham, stories they would never even consider running about any Democrat.

Yes, it is despicable. Yes, it is beneath contempt. But hey, this the fake news media and Democrats we’re talking about here. You expected something else?

That is all.

AG Barr made real news in that Senate hearing, and while the press didn’t notice, Democrats did.
Barr said he’d already assigned people to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia probe,
<><> that his review would be far-reaching,
<><> that he was obtaining details,
<><> from congressional investigations,
<><> from the ongoing probe by DOJ's IG Michael Horowitz,
<><> even from Mr. Mueller’s work,
<><> it wouldn’t focus solely on the fall 2016 justifications for secret FISA's against Trump's team,
<><> investigations would go back months earlier. (hat tip Kim Strassel)

The big big big question no one is openly asking yet is... who was Obama spying on (who was unmasked) BEFORE he set his minions on Trump? BEFORE summer of 2016?

Reporters? Rand Paul and Ted Cruz? Jeff Sessions? The answers might actually be a “bombshell”. Lets learn who the unmasking victims are.

You are just totally invested in the eventual failure of conservatism, capitalism and the US Constitution, aren’t you!

Why don’t you just leave this dispicable country to us Deplorables, who stand ready and willing to fight for the three things I mentioned in my first sentence? At least you won’t be underfoot or stop a slug meant for a serious opponent.

You and the rest of your Boo-Bird Flock make me sick!

It’ll be interesting to see their hypocrisy on display as they begin to characterize Graham as gay, given the favored status that being gay is granted in today’s (nauseating) ‘inclusive’ PC world.

Any decent person who sincerely believed in the excuse used by the FBI and the Obama regime for spying on Campaign Trump would have warned President Trump that the “Russians” were targeting his campaign, rather than gathering evidence in the hope of overturning a free and fair election if a real American won. My conclusion is that no decent people were willing to work in the Obama White House long enough to find out about that aspect of their treason, and that no decent people in the FBI were granted access to information about that black bag operation.

We are facing pure evil, and we have to recognize what these people are. Trust in or compromise with today’s antisemitic globalist socialists is like trust in or compromise with their antisemitic National socialists cousins of 80 years ago. They gladly accept only half of their “final solution” . . . and then come back to demand half of whatever crumbs of freedom remain to us almost immediately. They will use any crooked means necessary, including but not limited to their gigantic propaganda machine in the mainstream media, and including usurping federal government entities for conspiracy and sedition.

There are some days I wish Trump would go all-out Stalin and Party like it’s 1937.

Off topic, kinda...

Right after Obama got elected (after the enemedia got him elected), there was a cartoon depicting random members of the enemedia lined up out the door of The White House. At the start of the line was Obama sitting in a chair, and the first person in line was on his/her knees in front of him.

That cartoon seems to have vanished.
Does anyone remember that?

The DNC/Obama/MSM spy ring needs to be exposed.

No prisoners!

Yes. The importance of this cannot be overstated. The Democrats have invested everything in a sustained, all-out hatefest against Donald Trump. As a matter of law, that shouldn't matter -- but as a matter of public perception and political reality, it matters a great deal. The investigation should be thorough. It will be a game changer if there are victims of Obama's lawlessness not named Trump, if those abuses predated Trump's entry into the presidential race, and if the spying on Trump is then contextualized as an extension of an ongoing effort.

The investigation must be thorough, but it must also move quickly. The timing is important. The Democrat fallback strategy will be to obstruct and delay every investigation past the next election. They think they are likely to win. They expect the next Democrat president to immediately shut down further investigations. They are confident that the press will support this and that the public will yawn; it's all "just politics," after all, and the coverup will be spun as shutting down a corrupt Trump attempt to punish his critics.

One of Bush 43's biggest mistakes was the decision, right at the beginning of his first term, to drop the several ongoing Clinton investigations. Bush wanted to be "a uniter, not a divider." He wanted to make a gesture of goodwill towards the Democrats after the Florida controversy. He had a positive legislative agenda to pursue and didn't want to consume his first term in legal trench warfare. So he allowed a crime syndicate to escape.

The criminals have drawn the logical conclusion that they can simply outlast the political process. Being Democrats, they know they will be shielded by the media. If Trump is reelected, the timing may not much matter. But that is not a certainty. Indictments -- at least the first wave of indictments on threshold questions like lying to the FISA Court, illegal unmasking, unauthorized contractor access to surveillance materials, illegal leaking -- need to be brought this year. If it's not, and if Democrats win the White House next year, it will all be suppressed.

Every deposition, every procedural motion, every subpoena, every discussion about setting a date is going to be played for maximum delay, and the political window for action is closing. Maybe Horowitz and Huber are further along than we know. Maybe there has been a team working quietly to lay the foundations all along. But at this point -- two and a half years into Trump's first term -- the Democrats have managed to stay on offense and, with the presidential season bearing down, are already very close to successfully running out the clock.

Describing her as “paramour Lisa Page” seems too kind. There must be a better word.

Excellent observation. One would think the FBI would have a legal obligation to disclose this kind of information to the parties being wronged.

If that's so, Barr will have ammunition even if the origins of the investigation don't reveal wrongdoing (but I believe they will).

I have a feeling that Trump will declassify and release Judge Collyer’s report. That will show the wholesale spying done by the Obama Internal Security Apparatchiks from day one.
