One of the more notable differences between Watergate and the metastasizing scandals involving the FBI, our intelligence agencies, and the Obama administration -- subjects of the soon-to-be-released inspector general's report -- is that the media exposed Watergate. They aided and abetted the current transgressions.
By providing a willing and virtually unquestioned repository for every anonymous leaker (as long as he or she was on the "right" side) in Washington and beyond, the press has evolved from being part of the solution to being a major part of the problem. Gone are the days of the true "whistle-blower." Here are the days of the special interest provocateur, shaping public opinion by passing on half-truths and outright lies to their favorite reporter. One might then even call the media, in Orwell's words, "objectively pro-fascist," functioning much in the manner of Pravda and Izvestia during that famous author's time, covertly or overtly pushing the party line in the most slavish and orthodox manner while feigning "objectivity."
CNN, NBC, the Washington Post and The New York Times -- misinforming the public as it hasn't since the days of their great Stalin-excuser Walter Duranty (still pictured on their Pulitzer wall of honor) -- are particularly egregious in this regard. But there are many others. And the current scandal is far, far worse than Watergate, which, bad as it was, was the coverup of a completely unnecessary buffoon-like break-in during an election that was already won in a landslide. What is being exposed now is an attempt by our highest law enforcement agency working in concert with our intelligence agencies and, evidently, the blessing of the former administration itself to block the candidate of the opposing party, even to defraud and spy on him, that is to, as others have said, "set him up." And then, if they were unsuccessful, make it impossible for him to govern. In addition, in all probability, the same players conspired to make certain Hillary Clinton was not indicted for a crime for which virtually any other American would have done jail time.
Your analysis is much like mine. These people need t be harshly be held accountable to prevent it in the future.
All these people should be thrown out of helicopters and have us done with them for good.
Yup
It is so large that it being released in parts. The first part, which focuses on Hillary's emails, has already been sent to the FBI and DOJ for review. They can take about two weeks to write a rebuttal if they wish to claim there are errors. Then it will be released publically. I don't know about the other sections, but they should follow shortly.
Treason can no longer exist in our legal judicial system, to the shame of the generation which not only allowed it, but actually, at the highest levels, consciously authored the elimination of a traditional millennial crime among civilized nations.
The important unlearned lesson is that Treason is very much alive in the hearts and minds of mentally and physically healthy, informed and engaged American citizens.
How that cultural dichotomy will be ultimately resolved remains to be seen.
That’s what happens when everybody in the District of Corruption decides to ignore part of the Constitution to have the “first black President”.
Illegitimate usurpers have no respect for the law or the Constitution. Why should they?
There is simply not anyone to do the prosecuting.
Almost everyone in the District of Corruption is complicit.
Not one of our elected or appointed stood up for the Constitution.
Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen.
His father was a foreign national which made him a British subject at birth. That makes him not naturally an American.
People with multiple citizenships, loyalties, allegiances were precisely who the founders were excluding from the office with the natural born citizen requirement.
It means you are naturally a citizen because the circumstances of your birth leave no other option and require no action of law.
Born here of citizen parents.
“There is a desperate and obvious reason our right to keep and bear arms is being attacked from all sides at this time unlike ever before.”
Trump would have been removed from office already if Americans were disarmed.
If there were no wrongdoers, the MSM would still lead us in the wrong direction with their lies.
The Fourth Estate is The Fifth Column in this country!
Is the IG investigating RosenWeasel’s appointment of a SC without following the DoJ rules?
RosenWeasel’s collusion with Mueller and Comey to GET TRUMP! ?
RosenWeasel’s lack of competent oversight of fachist Mueller’s jack-booted thuggery?
What does that even mean?
The media foisted Barack Hussein Osama on the American people—A known ineligible America-hating enemy combatant. The damage they did with Obama should earn every single one of them their very own lamp post.
The SC appointment is built on a House of Cards.
It never even sorted itself out on being a counter intel investigation or a criminal investigation. or both.
All of the prior investigation “facts” were made up by the IC. It’s a total fabricated scam.
Where is the IG/Sessions?
The worst part about it is that they don’t even have any principles. They are simply automatons programmed to promote and defend one party regardless of merit or means.
It was the “Press” that made a mountain out of a molehill, and turned it into a media circus, in order to ruin President Nixon. I don’t give them ANY kudos for THAT. It’s rare in the MSM history, that they ever took pains to see that a republican or conservative, was fairly treated. Most of them piled on every chance they got, while protecting democrats and their corruption. What they’re doing to President Trump, is nothing new...it’s what they do.
The media pretty much hold all the cards. They’ve abused the first amendment forever. It’s not as if 99.999% of them are going to admit it. Sure, a tiny percentage who still have scruples, may, but it will take God, Himself, to get the media to go there, and since they are the ones who report the news...
You pick a side you’re along for the ride
You’re probably wrong.
the greatness of Trump is he IS able to govern, and govern quite effectively...
