January 6 has become a date of hallowed pagan sacredness to the ruling class – a supposed talisman marking chaos, a shorthand for “threats to democracy.” But the media, predictably, has focused on the wrong January. And the wrong threat.
Because the real January 6 – the one that changed everything – wasn’t in 2021. It happened four years earlier, in 2017. Not at the Capitol, but rather in a glass-walled conference room on the 26th floor of Trump Tower.
That morning, President-elect Donald J. Trump received a classified briefing from top intelligence officials – a routine, transitional step for any incoming commander in chief.
But what he got wasn’t intelligence. It was a malicious setup, a trap.
FBI Director James Comey entered the room alone and handed Trump the political equivalent of a political grenade: the now-debunked Steele dossier. A document so flimsy, partisan, and salacious, it wouldn’t pass editorial review at Mother Jones, let alone FBI verification. And yet, veracity wasn’t the point.
The objective wasn’t to actually inform the incoming president, but instead, Comey arrived at the behest of President Obama and CIA Director Brennan with two missions. First, he sought to bait Trump into some sort of dubious false confession. Second, once the briefing was made, the even bigger trap was set.
How?
Because once the FBI told Trump about the dossier – even informally, even off the record – that fact became the news hook, it became the poisoned seed to grow the entire Russian collusion hoax. The contents of the briefing were leaked to legacy, Trump-hating media, likely by Brennan himself.
Within hours, BuzzFeed and CNN were live. The chyron wrote itself: “President-elect Trump briefed on Russian kompromat.” Boom. Mission accomplished. The fuse was lit.

Maybe they won’t get away with it.
I certainly hope they don’t.
Good - the “nitty gritty” as opposed to all the blah blah we’re getting from the news. Thanks....
They will surely have to hang together or all will hang separately. Personally, I don’t care how they hang just so it is accomplished.
I think the further significance was that Comey was threatening the President elect by sharing this - in essence saying don’t you dare consider firing me. By presenting it to the President elect alone he was underlining what Schumer famously said about the IC having 9 ways to undermine you. Trump did not have the power to fire Comey at that moment, but he should have done it at 12:01 pm on 1/20/2017.
The fact that key members of the GOP-e plus the Bush family opposed Trump indicates they knew this was coming.
John McCain told them it was coming.
And that twink Lindsey Graham.

The stress and panic this must be having on these clowns is delicious right now
Democrats, for the most part, are useless in the real economy. They know it. Without power, they don’t have an income, much less social status.
Hence the shrieking on J20, 2017.
It was IN the Capitol. And White House.
The Dems and GOP were all in on it, so they will get away with it unless a deal is struck to sacrifice Comey and Brennan and Clapper and then stop looking around after that.
Some heads need to roll. These traitorous weasels - no matter their current mental status - need to be perp walked and made to pay the piper. No deals, no amnesty. It’s fast approaching the point where 2A will supersede pardons and amnesty.
