Everyone likes to say that it started as a cover for her losing and needing an excuse, but I remember the whole thing brewing that summer before. It was the first time I started hearing the term “deep state” getting thrown around, but it all revved up when Wiki-Leaks starting talking about data dumps of various emails, including Hillary’s and Podesta’s. This make a LOT of establishment people very mad and very afraid. The only choice they had was to send the incoming administration and it’s DOJ into the defensive so that they couldn’t pursue them for their crimes.
It was cover for the real source of the DNC leak, Seth Rich and his subsequent murder.
I think this started as a REAL attempt to take out Trump, in an effort to keep themselves out of jail.
We know they (the dems) committed crimes- and nothing is happening to any of them.
The deep state is deeper than we thought.
