Deep State Caught: “So She Lied. BFD. No One At DOJ Is Going To Prosecute.”

FTA:
This is sure to get your blood pressure spiking. (yet again) So many have said so many times how the rules don’t apply to certain globalist politicians, right? Well, here are some FBI agents communicating that very thing regarding Hillary Clinton’s closet confidante, Huma Abedin, after thousands of classified/critical docs were found on her unsecured laptop – and she lied about it. (A BIG no-no.) This was near the end of the 2016 campaign. Huma was photographed on the Clinton campaign in tears. (She knew she was in big-big trouble.) Then, inexplicably, all that trouble went away. -Poof- Vanished. No doubt the Clintons called in some big favors to some high-ranking Deep State officials and Huma and Hillary were off the hook – again. Check it out for yourself…

Memo graphic here

“No one at DOJ is going to prosecute.”

A non-secure laptop. Classified docs exposed. Lies. These are all offenses that far exceed anything, say, Michael Flynn has been accused of by the Mueller investigation. Flynn’s life was turned upside down. He’s facing bankruptcy defending himself.

As for Huma and Hillary – nothing. The FBI agent’s comments make it so very clear – they were all given the stand down order. It didn’t matter what they found, how many times Huma lied about it, NOTHING WAS GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT IT.

That’s not a free and fair society. That’s a two-teir system by which some don’t have to follow the rules applied to everyone else. That’s the world of the Clintons, the Obamas, and all those within the Deep State who are now attacking the outsider Trump White House.

If that doesn’t make you angry then you don’t deserve America. You deserve whatever it is America’s enemies intend to replace her with.

There is no forest in Fergus Falls

The Trumpenfreude List consists of people who foolishly feuded with The Donald and wound up crashing into the sea like Icarus.

But that is nothing compared to the self-immolation of journalism. An entire trade took on President Trump, and has now watched in horror as its credibility melts away like the wax that held together the wings of Icarus.

Our ratings are high, they respond. We have online subscribers, they respond. We have a record number of web hits, they respond.

"HuffPost Lays Off 39, Including Site’s Only Pulitzer Winner."

"Layoffs come to the East Bay Times after Pulitzer win."

"More layoffs expected for Pulitzer Prize winner The Denver Post."

"A West Virginia Newspaper Won Journalism’s Top Award. Now It’s Filed for Bankruptcy."

Much of this is poor management. The people who ran that West Virginia newspaper couldn't lead a den of Cub Scouts to a candy store. They wound up with nothing. They lost an enterprise once valued at more than $100 million, and received zero when the bankruptcy court sold it off.

And nothing is all that is left of Der Spiegel's credibility after ace reporter Claas Relotius took on Donald Trump and his supporters, and lost.

Relotius visited Fergus Falls, Minnesota, to write about Trump supporters. It was a disaster. Liberals Michele Anderson and Jake Krohn live there and wrote a piece that pointed out the numerous errors in his 7,300-word piece.

They went with the Top 11 boners he pulled. He wrote: "'After three and a half hours, the bus bends from the highway to a narrow, sloping street, rolling towards a dark forest that looks like dragons live in it. At the entrance, just before the station, there is a sign with the American stars and stripes banner, which reads: 'Welcome to Fergus Falls, home of damn good folks.'"

There is no forest. There is no sign. There are no dragons.

The pair wrote, "Fergus Falls is located on the prairie — which means our landscape mostly consists of tall grass and lakes. While we have trees, we do not have any distinct forests in our city limits, and definitely not in the route that the bus Relotius would have taken from the Twin Cities. And sadly, our welcome sign is quite mundane in its greeting."

They showed a picture of the sign. It reads, "Welcome to Fergus Falls."

Nor is there a sign that says, "Mexicans Keep Out." Relotius wrote that, too.

Why create a sign and a forest? The actual boring topography and boring sign would have worked far better for his purposes.

But Relotius was on a mission to destroy Trump voters. He was clumsy because he couldn't get his facts straight. Had he stuck to his facts, he would have made a better case.

Even Anderson, who is not a Trump supporter, was taken aback. She wrote, "Knowing that Relotius’ purpose was likely to focus on a few of our many conservative voters, I still had an ounce of faith in journalism. Maybe, just maybe, since he was a professional, award winning, international journalist and was spending not one day here but several weeks, he would craft an interesting, nuanced story about how we all somehow manage to coexist with each other in Trump’s America without burning each other’s houses down.

"But I also had a distinct gut feeling that his portrayal of this town could go very, very wrong.

"What happened is beyond what I could have ever imagined: An article titled 'Where they pray for Trump on Sundays,' and endless pages of an insulting, if not hilarious, excuse for journalism."

Now then, Der Spiegel is considered the best magazine in the world. Complaints about the Fergus Falls story not only cost the writer his job, but hurt Der Spiegel.

The Wall Street Journal, which is not too shabby itself, wrote, "The affair cast doubt on the effectiveness of Der Spiegel’s renowned fact-checking department, once described as the largest in the world by the Columbia Journalism Review. The magazine, which said it employs around 70 fact-checkers, said its system had failed."

The Fergus Falls flap forced Der Spiegel to go back and fact-check 60 previous stories he wrote. So far, errors were found in 14 of them. What exactly was this renowned team of fact-checkers doing? They deserve the Talia Lavin Award.

The Journal also reported, "Stefan Niggemeier, an independent media blogger in Berlin and a former Spiegel journalist, said some of the articles at issue appeared to confirm certain German stereotypes about Trump voters, asking was this possible because of an ideological bias?

"A spokesman for Der Spiegel said that the magazine is investigating what if any role potential bias may have played."

Of course he fed management's stereotype of Trump supporters. If he failed to give management what it wanted, he would soon be replaced by someone who did.

That he was CNN's Journalist of the Year in 2014 provided much mirth among conservatives, but really, this is his year because no one better represents the trade in the Trump Era. An entire occupation has dedicated itself to the downfall of the president of the United States.

Journalists are using every trick they have to get him, which has only exposed them as tricksters.

The Observer reported, "Glenn Greenwald brought The Guardian the biggest scoop of the Obama years when he reported on U.S. agencies collecting metadata on its citizens — turning whistleblower Edward Snowden into a household name, while defining the national conversation surrounding government surveillance."

However, Greenwald is no longer enamored of the British newspaper.

The Observer reported, "After The Guardian published an uncorroborated report by Luke Harding and Dan Collyns alleging Paul Manafort met with Julian Assange at London’s Ecuadorian Embassy, Greenwald called out the reporters for failing to vet the information — accusing the publication on Twitter of behavior that 'erodes trust in journalism and undermines the work of journalists everywhere.' From Greenwald’s perspective, it was indicative of a much more frightening trend in media: the reliance on government sources for scoops and information."

And therein lies the problem. Far from being an independent press, the Washington press corps serves as the public relations department for the Deep State.

The Trump hate has exposed this because so many, many times the disinformation the Deep State feeds reporters is wrong. I said the Russian dossier was a pack of lies when CNN broke the story nearly two years ago. It still is a pack of lies. It always will be a pack of lies.

There is no forest in Fergus Falls. There is no Russian collusion. There is no future in journalism.

All of this makes me angry—the double standard is a threat to the rule of law and to our republic. We see double standards all the time in everyday life. And when you see it you know there is rot. The rot in the government is just astounding. Worse than I ever thought (and I’ve been called a cynic many times over the years).

I’m so grateful for POTUS and the Q movement. Without them I can’t imagine how depressed I’d be feeling. I’m still depressed but not as bad as it could be.
