GEE assignation was the first thing I thought of and until they prove it was something else I’m sticking to it!

We have to work together on this and we have the tools to do which weren’t available 20 years ago. Through internet sleuths, we have already learned that AG Ohr’s wife not only worked for Simpson (sponsor of the dossier) and that she oddly got her ham radio license during the presidential election. We also learned today that Simpson’s wife’s Facebook page a year ago was touting how her husband’s dossier was the basis for the FBI investigation. We are getting through to them and they are howling — Comey is already screaming this afternoon about this being a partisan attack on the FBI; well, who was it that said “national security is the last refuge of a soundrel”. Been Scoundrel Time for quite some time, hasn’t it, Mr. Comey? As they used to teach young lawyers, “If the law isn’t in your favor, argue the facts; if the facts aren’t in your favor, get up an yell a lot”.

Agreed. Some people are confusing a multipurpose tool with the project.

IMHO. “Insurance” was wetwork. It’s as drastic and as extreme as you can get, but “they” had too much to lose if Hillary didn’t win. If anyone but her had won (which happened), their deep-state treason and collusion with Obama could be discovered (which it was). A simple dossier wouldn’t be enough.

I am just glad folks are catching on. My concern......who here has only one type of insurance? Unless these traitors figured letting Hilliary off easy and the dossier was enough. Given their arrogance, this could be why nothing else has been uncovered. I won’t be surprised if more insurance had been purchased.

Yes, remember Scott Foval in the Project Veritas video said (think New Hampshire) they rent cars and vote in state. He righteously said, “We’ve been doing it forever and will continue” to manufacture votes.

That was supposed to work in Mi but Trump got the vote certified faster.

Comey doth protest too much.

If anyone knows how to orchestrate a partisan attack, he does.

When I read the text about insurance, I knew he meant the unthinkable, These people subsequently acted according to this very plan day by day as Inauguration approached. They had no limits. I believe only Trump and his brain trust of superior intellects saved his life, his transition, his candidacy.

If any of you came of age during the violent days of the Weather Underground (Bill Ayers) and the Black Panthers (Hillary Rodham), you know these people stop at nothing.

You’re a bit condescending. Why not read the well-researched article, then comment.

Wee, sleeket, cowran, tim’rous beastie,
O, what a panic’s in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
Wi’ bickerin brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an’ chase thee
Wi’ murd’ring pattle!

I’m truly sorry Man’s dominion
Has broken Nature’s social union,
An’ justifies that ill opinion,
Which makes thee startle,
At me, thy poor, earth-born companion,
An’ fellow-mortal!

I doubt na, whyles, but thou may thieve;
What then? poor beastie, thou maun live!
A daimen-icker in a thrave
’S a sma’ request:
I’ll get a blessin wi’ the lave,
An’ never miss ’t!

Thy wee-bit housie, too, in ruin!
It’s silly wa’s the win’s are strewin!
An’ naething, now, to big a new ane,
O’ foggage green!
An’ bleak December’s winds ensuin,
Baith snell an’ keen!

Thou saw the fields laid bare an’ waste,
An’ weary Winter comin fast,
An’ cozie here, beneath the blast,
Thou thought to dwell,
Till crash! the cruel coulter past
Out thro’ thy cell.

That wee-bit heap o’ leaves an’ stibble
Has cost thee monie a weary nibble!
Now thou’s turn’d out, for a’ thy trouble,
But house or hald,
To thole the Winter’s sleety dribble,
An’ cranreuch cauld!

But Mousie, thou art no thy-lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men
Gang aft agley,
An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,
For promis’d joy!

Still, thou art blest, compar’d wi’ me!
The present only toucheth thee:
But Och! I backward cast my e’e,
On prospects drear!
An’ forward tho’ I canna see,
I guess an’ fear!

“The best laid plans of Mice and Men, gang oft gone agley” is what I thought it was. Never saw the original. Thank you for this lovely, poem. Timeless. Man just keeps making the same mistakes from century to century!

Another great poem, written in the 20th C. is on my profile page which is where I got my name, The Westerner.

I know nothing about nothing. I’ll only admit to coming of age in the most violent, disgusting era of American history. And having witnessed, sometimes up close and personal unfortunately, those gutless, ruthless, amoral individuals migrate to the halls of power, it was crystal clear to this baby boomer where post-Obama, the Stalinist Rodham would take this nation.

What’s so hilariously humiliating about all this, for all Dems and especially Hillary, is knowing that despite all the cheating (everything from illegal voting to spying on the Trump campaign to illegal campaign financing to MSM collusion to who knows what else).... Hillary STILL managed to lose!

Various pieces falling into place these past weeks has formed up the big picture of a 21st century version of Watergate. Or maybe what could be called a "reverse Watergate" - dems spying on the repubs this time.

I wish people would stop comparing the current events to Watergate. Watergate was NOTHING (NOTHING!) compared to what’s going on now.

The left-wing media have tried to control our minds since the ‘70s to make us believe that a few bumbling clowns trying to pull off a chicken-sh!t B&E, and pitiful cover-up, was a big deal. It wasn’t. Nobody died; nobody even came close to dying.

This is. It’s a Big Deal. People (probably) have died, and still could. There are so many facets, and all seem to be tied together with the lowest common denominator being Clinton-Obama. Pedophile rings, fake dossiers, Seth Rich, Hillary’s emails, Awan brothers, etc. Frankly, there are too many facets to keep track of.

Not Watergate; not reverse Watergate.

That Carter Page trip to Russia in 2016 strikes me as a set up. Who invited him? He was lured over there so that the allegations he was accused of could be made. I would bet obozo had something to do with the invitation.
