The Trump team had known for months that, far from getting even a reasonably fair shake from the Fake News media (and even conservative media), they would face the most blistering, unrelenting, baseless and usually cowardly attacks of any Presidential administration since Abraham Lincoln’s. Team Trump knew that the only hope the Democrats had of stopping the Trump agenda was the “Russian collusion” story, concocted immediately after Hillary Clinton’s loss to explain away her pathetic and horrid campaign. Moreover, Team Trump—and here I’m largely speaking of Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller—fully understood Alinsky-ism and the tactic of isolating people and programs to destroy them one at a time. Even before the inauguration, Bannon had a massive white board with strategic “rollouts” during the first days, not just weeks, and they were all over the map. Everything from regulatory rollback, ending the “mandate” in Obamacare, elevated levels of vetting “refugees,” a travel ban, tax relief, new arrangements with allies—these were all in place when I visited Trump Tower just before the Inauguration.
“How do you like how we’re flooding the zone?” Bannon asked me. Indeed that perfectly described it. The initiatives were so varied, so widespread, that none could be isolated without giving up on all the others, and therefore, none could be attacked with Alinsky tactics.

LS rules!
Nice article LS. Wanted to ask what makes you more concerned about Mueller now? It is unclear to me that there is any crime that has actually been committed, even if there were outright collusion between Trump and Russia. Mueller can bring in every high powered attorney in America, but the bottom line is that unless there was some actual wrong doing by Trump there is still nothing there.
Thanks for this. I confirmed what I suspected that the Trump administration is well aware of the resources the left will try to bring to bear and is planning accordingly.
“Mueller and Comey are bffs. Whoever thought Mueller was a good choice as special counsel should be fired.”
If you are an advanced student of the “Cheese in the Maze” theory, you have to know that this appointment will be the stake in the heart of both Comey AND Mueller for colluding to damage Trump.
Calls for a shut down should be coming soon.
If you think about it, the relentless assault by the media using a faux scandal actually gives more cover to do things that the media won’t take the time to point out are killing us all and the little children and puppies.
Read ART of the Deal.....
Trump is thinking five steps ahead..these people will really be going nuts in a year
With or without the GOP he will eat there lunch
Trump told us
Weeks if not months ago not to believe the MSM
Trump could fire Mueller if he put someone else in the job. Someone not connected to Comey.
Remind them that Trump went to Michigan in a snap decision, with 24 hours notice he pulled a crowd of 13-15,000.
Hillary couldn’t pull 500 for a scheduled event.
Great piece! I hope it’s true, but I do think the Trump/Russia collusion gambit was a preemptive shot by the left in order to cover over Obama/Hillary/DNC Crime Syndicate surveillance of Trump and many, many others and not an excuse to cover over Hillary’s bad campaign.
and Yes!...I'm hoping someday will be “T-Day” when it all comes together...
but the bottom line is that unless there was some actual wrong doing by Trump there is still nothing there.<<
Exactly!..but the bottom line for the “Swamp” at this point is to keep Trump as the consuming “NEWS”..even if its false....They ALL know that if the past 8 years ever gets an honest review or any exposure......by Constitutional standards....WE’RE TALKING TREASON!!!
In the name of the website, BIGLY is spelled wrong.
Good read. Thanks for posting. I think Trump is smarter than all of those fools in the media and in the swamp!
[Outstanding essay by LS. ]
Fantastic article! Thanks for posting it.
Yep, and, as this article focuses on, it has to be strategic too.
No, nothing real at all. However, if Mueller is corrupt, he can SAY the “I hope” was obstruction. Now, in normal circumstances it would be nothing. And all he can do is write a letter.
All along, though, I’ve warned about the snakes in Congress, esp. idiots like Ru Paul & McTurd.
I liked. Though it had a bit of speculative optimism.
When your opponent keeps beating you time after time after time you’re going to have to come up with another reason other than ‘luck’.
