What if "witch hunt" is not being used metaphorically? The May 18 Trump tweets in a new context.

This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history! - Donald Trump 4:52 AM - 18 May 2017

With all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign & Obama Administration, there was never a special counsel appointed! - Donald Trump 7:07 AM - 18 May 2017


TOPICS: FReeper Editorial; Politics/Elections; Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: clinton; hillary; mueller; trump; trumprussia; witchhunt
Despite the MSM assertions that President Trump sends out reckless and “thought of the moment” tweets, his tweets have always been (or at least since he has been President) calculated and well thought out.

The tweets are designed to push MSM buttons, or bait them, and they always fall for it.

The tweets of May 18 are of particular interest. The WAPO assured its readers the first tweet (4:52AM) was simply an attempt by Trump to express his displeasure with the ongoing investigation into “Russia-Gate” by the special counsel.

WAPO headline from May 18 - "Trump claims to be victim of ‘witch hunt’ following appointment of special counsel in Russia case"

The WAPO, along with most people, including myself, assumed the term “witch hunt” was being used metaphorically, which is how it is usually used, especially since this is not Salem, Massachusetts 1692.

The tweet takes on an interesting context if read literally though; not metaphorically.

Hillary is the Witch

Hillary is the witch, or at least she seems to have witchy characteristics. Allegations of witchy behavior aside, from a cursory Internet search, Bill Clinton said with seriousness in 2012,

"I know that because, as all of you famously learned when I served as president, my wife, now the secretary of State, was known to commune with Eleanor on a regular basis," he said. "And so she called me last night on her way home from Peru to remind me to say that. That Eleanor had talked to her and reminded her that I should say that."

Trump is not the Politician

Donald Trump - October 19, 2015 - "I'm not a politician. Politicians lie"
Donald Trump - August 20, 2016 - "I’m Not a Politician, Thank Goodness!"
Donald Trump - June 6, 2016 - "I'm not a politician fighting, I'm me. You're going to see some really good things happen,"

Implications

In light of the context of the tweets if interpreted to be literal, President Trump could be indicating Hillary is under investigation. This would be easy to dismiss if the tweet alone lacked any other context. It does not though. Hillary’s crimes are numerous and varied. There is plenty to investigate, from the Clinton Foundation Money Laundering, to the thousands of missing emails, the shafting of Bernie, and the sale of Uranium to the Russians.

If Hillary is under investigation for all or even some of these crimes, it would be;

“…the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!”

No this assualt on Trump was planned way in advance. From getting Sessions to recuse himself, to the meeting with Trump jr to a democrat appointing a SC when no crime was committed.

This is Obama and the lefts attempt to overthrow our goverment

I'm not ready to subscribe to the thesis of this post just yet, nevertheless, I don't think the Deep State had all that much advance planning.

The deep state expected Hillary to win. I think they were taken completely by surprise and co-opted the Russian narrative after Trump won in order to take him out. That is why the narrative has so many holes in it.

I posted some time ago a theory of the Trump Tweets

Based on the WWII "Thatch Weave"

In the early days of the war Japanese Zero planes out classed in speed and manouverability the US WildCat fighter.

Airman Thatch invented the following tactic:

Thatch Weave Video

In WWII the Japanese pilots were programmed to follow the US planes and shoot them down......so the Thatch Weave defeated them and of course the info never got back to Japan

Today the MSM, GOPe, Dims, Consultants and Special Interests are programmed to attack Trump

Trump's wingman is Truth

End result....MSM, GOPe, Dime, consultants and special interests get destroyed.

Jeff Sessions is a selfish coward. He cares only about himself, his “reputation”, and strives to avoid conflict with the forces of Evil. He is perfectly willing to allow the President and his family to be squeezed and persecuted, as long as he does not have to lift a finger. Sessions is a disgrace. I used to be exasperated with him; now I have contempt for him. Cowards deserve neither sympathy nor respect.

Mueller would not have hired Hillary’s lawyers, including the one who smashed her phones and other devices, Jeannie Rhee, if he were investigating Hillary.

They would be WITNESSES to Hillary’s wrongdoing, not prosecutors. What Mueller is doing is covering up and removing evidence of all of Hillary’s crimes first— and he needs the vital info these people have to do it.

Burn the witch! Burn her!
It’s the only way to be sure.

As DJT is being drowned in the Swamp, Jeff Sessions sips his sweet tea. What a huge disappointment.

Indeed!

AH HA, our President, ALWAYS ENTERTAINING! Showman to the end.

After being a non-politician, interesting to see if he would have gone into the position of ring-master of a three-ring circus. Too bad, B&BC has now gone under. A day in American History, should it live that long.

Well Mr. Trump - stop nominating crap / enemies / traitors. Use your power aggressively. And get someone to vet your twitter posts before hitting the send button.

Nothing more than a means to set the stage for a kangaroo trial. In the end, every one of those who seek Trump’s removal should be in prison or deported to No. Korea.

Look, Trump had a small pool to choose from, with any political experience with the Hill crowd, or militarily, either.

The traditional generals were systematically purged or retired, to the tune of well over 300. The civilian staffers in DC are all RINO’S, or they wouldn’t be there.

Trump is an outsider. No one trustworthy wanted to work for him. He is a miracle still standing. Give him a break.

If not for the tweets he would be overtaken by the Marxist media. He holds his base together with those tweets.

I read this title and was surprised to see it had nothing to say about the real witches converging to cast spells against him.

Prayer is especially required to defend this president, as a real Satanic attack is destroying our country.

I’d love to think that this was true, but Mueller’s actions point the other way - 1. Stacking his staff with lifelong dems; 2. Pre-Dawn raid on Manafort.
