The leftist election interference crew

Progressive pundits have a habit of sticking to the same words and phrases when discussing major issues of the day. No matter who is talking on MSNBC, CNN or a podcast, they speak in unison. That happens thanks to coordination by a small group of subversives.

Politico last week documented the machinations of leftist commentators and former government officials who have been holding weekly Zoom sessions to hammer out messaging since 2022, when it became clear that former President Donald Trump intended to run again in 2024.

Participants explore the most effective talking points to ensure that voters won’t send Mr. Trump back to the White House. Or if they do, how best to sabotage his administration. The emphasis is on hijacking the legal system to undermine the opposition.

According to Politico, the brain trust consists of people who have rotated between positions in law, media and government such as The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin, Robert Mueller hatchet man Andrew Weissmann, former Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Karen Agnifilo, lefty lawyer Laurence Tribe, Bill Kristol and others.

Those in the sympathetic press love to refer to a few members like Mr. Kristol as “conservative” to imply balance, but this is an illusion. Whatever he once was, Mr. Kristol tweeted that “we are all Democrats now” as he endorsed Joe Biden in 2020. He even preferred former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe over rising GOP star Glenn Youngkin for Virginia governor.

They are all partisan activists who come together as part of a well-funded leftist machine with Brookings fellow Norm Eisen serving as ringmaster. A former Obama administration official, Mr. Eisen guided the House effort to impeach Mr. Trump in 2020.

Another key player, former acting Assistant Attorney General Mary McCord, oversaw the Justice Department’s use of Hillary Clinton’s Steele dossier

A conspiracy that has been going on for a long time. Where are the RICO charges?

Bill Kristol - that figures.

I was an initial subscriber to his magazine in the mid-90s. I stopped reading it after three issues and cancelled my subscription. The over-riding message was “I’m a Republican and I hate myself for being so.” It sickened me. It was nothing but self-loathing and dreary.

It’s good that Biden’s propaganda machine is exposed. These people are crack pots. They have been spectacularly unsuccessful. I’d like to see Trump persecute them.

These reporters have “gravitas” , which will prevent the “walls closing in” on them.

Better to require all teachers and staff at public schools to take NRA gun safety courses, then allow them to carry or not. Signs on entries saying “This school protected by Second Amendment and armed teachers.” Perhaps in any given school many will be armed, perhaps only a few or none but an attacker has to consider the likelihood that some are armed and he might just get shot down before he gets to kill students and go out in a blaze of glory, or at least the attention he craves for his death. Florida is implementing such a custom. We won’t have any more school shootings, I think, until trannies and other crazies get their hands on RPGs or Hamas rockets, but that is a different problem.
