1. Gowdy quickly mentions the DNC, then moves on real quickly.
2. This reminds me of what Rubio said after he came out of the meeting with the FBI a couple weeks ago. Same thing, something like [paraphrase] “maybe now the democrats will be give a non-partisan look into Russia collusion.”
3. I just heard on Rush Limbaugh, he said that the real story is the DNC collusion (Obama, et al) with Russia. That is where the story is.
Something is up between leaking, treason, Russia, and the democrats!
Don’t forget the Paki IT group... That story seems to be getting bigger in the shadows as nobody is paying attention.
They want a special prosecutor.... right?
I would match them - one special prosecutor for Russian collusion with one special prosecutor for the Hillary email investigation or one special prosecutor for the Clinton foundation or one special prosecutor for the alleged DOJ slush fund where they diverted fine monies to leftists groups.
Which tells you how stupid it was for Sessions to recuse himself. If he has an ounce of ethics left he will un-recuse himself unless he like his family.
Rule 1: Power is not only what you have, but what an opponent thinks you have. If your organization is small, hide your numbers in the dark and raise a din that will make everyone think you have many more people than you do.
Rule 2: Never go outside the experience of your people.
The result is confusion, fear, and retreat.
Rule 3: Whenever possible, go outside the experience of an opponent. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.
Rule 4: Make opponents live up to their own book of rules. “You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity.”
Rule 5: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon. It’s hard to counterattack ridicule, and it infuriates the opposition, which then reacts to your advantage.
Rule 6: A good tactic is one your people enjoy. “If your people aren’t having a ball doing it, there is something very wrong with the tactic.”
Rule 7: A tactic that drags on for too long becomes a drag. Commitment may become ritualistic as people turn to other issues.
Rule 8: Keep the pressure on. Use different tactics and actions and use all events of the period for your purpose. “The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition. It is this that will cause the opposition to react to your advantage.”
Rule 9: The threat is more terrifying than the thing itself. When Alinsky leaked word that large numbers of poor people were going to tie up the washrooms of O’Hare Airport, Chicago city authorities quickly agreed to act on a longstanding commitment to a ghetto organization. They imagined the mayhem as thousands of passengers poured off airplanes to discover every washroom occupied. Then they imagined the international embarrassment and the damage to the city’s reputation.
Rule 10: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative. Avoid being trapped by an opponent or an interviewer who says, “Okay, what would you do?”
Rule 11: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, polarize it. Don’t try to attack abstract corporations or bureaucracies. Identify a responsible individual. Ignore attempts to shift or spread the blame.
According to Alinsky, the main job of the organizer is to bait an opponent into reacting. “The enemy properly goaded and guided in his reaction will be your major strength.”
Just further validation of the old truism regarding Democrats. Want to know what they're up to? Just look at what they're accusing Republicans of doing.
Knowing that for decades the democrats have been in cahoots with the Soviet communists, I originally found it odd that they would go after Trump as hard as they have on this subject. But, I’ve come to believe that they know they (the DNC) are going to come under fire for 60 years of Russian interference in US politics including Ted Kennedy’s attempt to defeat Reagan.
Their actions may have been an attempt to blunt that revelation. The only problem with regards to Trump is there is nothing there. Which is why they had to get McCain to shop around that phony report. The democrats, on the other hand, have done plenty and I’m sure the FBI has plenty of proof.
Yes, notice the Russian ambassador was hobnobing and sitting with the democrats at Trump’s speech.
