Over 1,000 FBI agents were assigned to the “China Gate” investigation; all collected reams of physical and electronic evidence, but no 302s were filed (total violation of Bureau policy and regulations); every week, a team from DOJ came to the NY Field Office to collect the evidence, none of which was ever seen again; even the electronic evidence disappeared from ACS and other federal LE databases.
I remember Chinagate. Yet another scandal that I thought was going to do the Clintons in - again. It seemed to just go off the radar after the initial news.
So we've had a complete coup in our government that holds American patriots hostage. We have taxation without interested representation, real interest for We the People. The FBI exists to cover for the elites and leak to the New York Times. The CIA and others in the IC exist to spy on Americans, take care of 'problem people' and leak to the Washington Post. The NSA helps the elites identify problem people.
How is any of this different from the STASI in East Germany and the KGB in the old USSR? Is it just me or has all of this seems to have expanded exponentially over the last eight years?
The Republicans act apoplectic and scared. For the first time since Reagan, they have a real leader to lead them and have control of the House and Senate. What do they have on them? Or have we all been fools and they are just one big bloated Federal government uniparty.
The Federal government as envisioned by our Founders no longer exists. It only exists to take care of itself and their own. The American people? Forget about it. Justice? Only for the little people. Separation of Powers? Only for show. The Supreme Court? Judicial activism to destroy the constitution and conservatism. Bloated bureaucracy? The bigger we get, the more money we get, yours. The IRS? Excessive taxation plus targeting conservative groups and individuals. The EPA? Exists solely to make laws and regulations to destroy capitalism. The immigration flood? Cloward-Piven on steroids, and it's working. 220 Trillion in unfunded liabilities? Guaranteed to keep our progeny in slavery. The MSM? The propaganda arm of the DNC and DC elites.
Is there a peaceful resolution? The only recourse is an Article V Convention of States with passage of many amendments to reign in the federal Leviathan. The states need to hurry up and get this Convention going. It feels like we don't have much time.
I thought I could relax some after Trump was elected. The severity of the deep state, the psychosis of the defeated dems, the insanity of the MSM and the ridiculousness of the never-Trumpers has been an overt exhibit of the dire straits we are in.
Pray for America and prepare. Eternal Vigilance. . .
“The Republicans act apoplectic and scared. For the first time since Reagan, they have a real leader to lead them and have control of the House and Senate. What do they have on them?”
By way of full disclosure, I’ve been in or very close to the Intelligence Community for a long time. I can’t find exception with a single thing you posted, but two things sprang to mind when I read the above excerpt.
I had a very good friend - a retired Army officer - who ran for, and won, a seat in the House. He only served two terms, but I visited him several times while he was in the House and we had a number of very frank, personal discussions. He informed me that, in order to get funding for his campaign, he had to agree to vote a certain way on a few select issues; others were subject to his personal principles and convictions. When he ran for reelection two years later, the list had changed. Likewise, I’ve had a few friends who were approached to run for Congress and every single one relayed a similar story; “In order to get campaign funding, I would’ve had to agree to vote a certain way on select issues, some of which I wasn’t willing to do.” While it may seem relatively harmless, contributors were, in fact, buying - or attempting to buy - votes prior to the election and buying the members themselves in the process; hardly a recipe for honest, responsible government.
The second thing that came to mind relates to my previous post in this thread. For over two years, I worked a very high-level case with the Bureau and several other agencies that related to drug trafficking, money laundering, gambling and corruption within the Mexican and US governments. On one of my first visits to the FBI office in San Diego, I was given the opportunity to view 11 federal corruption files that related to a very powerful and very wealthy Mexican family, the Hanks. Although we were not permitted to use any of the information from those files, nor discuss the details; I was told that the office wanted me to have an appreciation for how important this case (over 120, actually, among all affected agencies) really was. After I reviewed those files, I told the SAC, ASAC and Group Supervisor, “[Expletive deleted]...those files are full of names I see every day in the news. These guys own as many politicians in the US as they do in Mexico!” In other words, they were not garden-variety members of Congress and not a single one has ever been charged or prosecuted.
To illustrate, here are a couple of excerpts from an article in “el Andar” (links below), a Mexican publication that’s not exactly popular among Mexican politicians and criminals:
“A Texas bank controlled by Mexican businessman Carlos Hank Rhon donated funds to the Republican National Committee, in violation of federal election laws.”
“Documents from a Federal Election Commission (FEC) case file recently made public show that the commission found reason to believe that Gary Jacobs, the bank’s president and CEO, “knowingly and willfully” violated US laws when he donated $15,000 to a Republican fundraiser on April 3, 1995, then ordered Laredo National Bank (LNB) to issue a reimbursement check the day after.”
“The finding also raises the question as to whether the Hank family may have attempted to influence US politicians and elections. Since the Hanks became owners of LNB, Jacobs and his wife have donated over $40,000 to Democratic committees and candidates, and over $60,000 to Texas Governor George W. Bush.”
“In March, Attorney General Janet Reno wrote a letter to former Republican Senator Warren Rudman, attorney for Carlos Hank Rhon, stating that the report was a draft only.”

There is a lot of information in the public domain about the relationships between foreign criminals and US politicians and I invite anyone reading this to do his own research, starting with the Hank family and the administration of former Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari, who was very close to the late Carlos Hank Gonzalez and his sons Carlos and Jorge Hank Rhon. A third son, Moctezuma, was killed in a boating accident in the Gulf of California. You’ll find many more mentions of relationships between the Hanks and the Bush family, but here’s a good place to start:
