The original question the FBI investigation of the Trump campaign was to answer was a simple one: Did he do it?
Did Trump, or officials with his knowledge, collude with Vladimir Putin's Russia to hack the emails of John Podesta and the DNC, and leak the contents to damage Hillary Clinton and elect Donald Trump?
A year and a half into the investigation, and, still, no "collusion" has been found. Yet the investigation goes on, at the demand of the never-Trump media and Beltway establishment.
Hence, and understandably, suspicions have arisen.
Are the investigators after the truth, or are they after Trump?
Set aside the Trump-Putin conspiracy theory momentarily, and consider a rival explanation for what is going down here:
That, from the outset, Director James Comey and an FBI camarilla were determined to stop Trump and elect Hillary Clinton. Having failed, they conspired to break Trump's presidency, overturn his mandate and bring him down.
Essential to any such project was first to block any indictment of Hillary for transmitting national security secrets over her private email server. That first objective was achieved 18 months ago.
On July 5, 2016, Comey stepped before a stunned press corps to declare that, given the evidence gathered by the FBI, "no reasonable prosecutor" would indict Clinton. Therefore, that was the course he, Comey, was recommending.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch, compromised by her infamous 35-minute tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton to discuss golf and grandkids seconded Comey's decision.
And so Hillary walked. Why is this suspicious?
First, whether or not to indict was a decision that belonged to the Department of Justice, not Jim Comey or the FBI. His preemption of Justice Department authority was astonishing.
Second, while Comey said in his statement that Hillary had been "extremely careless" with security secrets, in his first draft, Clinton was declared guilty of "gross negligence" the precise language in the statute to justify indictment.
Who talked Comey into softening the language to look less than criminal? One man was FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, whose wife, Jill, a Virginia state senate candidate, received a munificent PAC contribution of $474,000 from Clinton family friend and big bundler Terry McAuliffe.
Also urging Comey to soften the fatal phrase "gross negligence" was key FBI agent Peter Strzok. In text messages to his FBI lover Lisa Page, Strzok repeatedly vented his detestation of the "idiot" Trump.
After one meeting with "Andy" (McCabe), Strzok told Page an "insurance policy" was needed to keep Trump out of the White House.
Also, it appears Comey began drafting his exoneration statement of Hillary before the FBI had even interviewed her. And when the FBI did, Hillary was permitted to have her lawyers present.
One need not be a conspiracy nut to conclude the fix was in, and a pass for Hillary wired from the get-go. Comey, McCabe, Strzok were not going to recommend an indictment that would blow Hillary out of the water and let the Trump Tower crowd waltz into the White House.
Yet, if Special Counsel Robert Mueller cannot find any Trump collusion with the Kremlin to tilt the outcome of the 2016 election, his investigators might have another look at the Clinton campaign.
For there a Russian connection has been established.
Kremlin agents fabricated, faked, forged, or found the dirt on Trump that was passed to ex-British MI6 spy Christopher Steele, and wound up in his "dirty dossier" that was distributed to the mainstream media and the FBI to torpedo Trump.
And who hired Steele to tie Trump to Russia?
Fusion GPS, the oppo research outfit into which the DNC and Clinton campaign pumped millions through law firm Perkins Coie.
Let's review the bidding.
The "dirty dossier," a mixture of fabrications, falsehoods and half-truths, created to destroy Trump and make Hillary president, was the product of a British spy's collusion with Kremlin agents.
In Dec. 26's Washington Times, Rowan Scarborough writes that the FBI relied on this Kremlin-Steele dossier of allegations and lies to base their decision "to open a counterintelligence investigation (of Trump)." And press reports "cite the document's disinformation in requests for court-approved wiretaps."
If this is true, a critical question arises:
Has the Mueller probe been so contaminated by anti-Trump bias and reliance on Kremlin fabrications that any indictment it brings will be suspect in the eyes of the American people?
Director Comey has been fired. FBI No. 2 McCabe is now being retired under a cloud. Mueller's top FBI investigator, Peter Strzok, and lover Lisa, have been discharged. And Mueller is left to rely upon a passel of prosecutors whose common denominator appears to be that they loathe Trump and made contributions to Hillary.
Attorney General Bobby Kennedy had his "Get Hoffa Squad" to take down Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa. J. Edgar Hoover had his vendetta against Dr. Martin Luther King.
Is history repeating itself with the designated target of an elite FBI cabal being the President of the United States?
Hi, my name is Jeff!
The whole point of the private server was to hide criminal activity related to the Clinton Foundation and the Podesta group.
That seems to be overlooked in all of these discussions.
The criminal activity (bribes, payoff, influence peddling etc.) is the starting point, not the server.
a justice infrastructure before they strike.
They’d absolutely HAVE to. There’d be no other way to go about it from the point of practicality.
Where are the results of Weasel Mueller’s Anthrax Investigation?
I dont think Pat can state flat out that NO Collusion took place, rather the investigation team has not announced whether collusion has been found and the depths of involvement if it has.
______________________________________________________________
He can flat out state it because if Herr Mueller had found any collusion it would have been leaked to the NY Times in two seconds flat.
No gratification??? Hmmm, over 800 EOs overturned, out of the Paris Accord, pipelines, fracking and ANWR, tax bill, a conservative SC judge...I am feeling very gratified for the first year, Mr. Stompy Foot.
Does a bear drop an Obama in the woods?
So much swamp. Even if Trump had “colluded” with Russians or anyone else, the leftards aren’t alleging the emails were fake. Any damaging political fallout from them is legitimate. Typical leftist “investigation” focused on process and completely overlooking the substance. If Shrillery had discovered discovered anything real that impeached Trump during the campaign, I wouldn’t have cared if she had to cooperate with the Russians to do so. Instead, she actually forged stuff, but that’s viewed as a nothingburger. Upside-down world.
A little late to the party, Pat.
DeSantis has called directly for the declassification of all FISC applications (and supporting documents) of the Trump hit job. There needs to be a massive effort from patriots to turn up the heat to white hot on this.
If it happens, game over.
Watch carefully who opposes it. Mueller especially. Anyone opposed is either compromised or part of the cabal. Team Sedition will do anything to prevent it.
Yes, and the investigation is to cover that up.
*************
This is no investigation. Its primarily a hunt for evidence that will be used to substantiate preconceived charges. It also has the associated purpose of covering up tracks left by clumsy members of the cabal who thought that Hillary would sweep their nefarious and treasonous schemes under the rug had she been elected.
No!
Certain rogue political apparatchiks assigned to the FBI used the might of the bureau as a political weapon.
To a man, they must all die
The FBI was assisted by the CIA, NSA, and most of the other alphabet agencies of Fedzilla.
Fedzilla does not like interference in its execution of the GHW Bush Plan for North Mexico.
Its just election year noise designed to keep everyone so angry they will vote for Uniparty Globalist Republicans in the elections next fall.

Exactly, any real investigation would reveal that the entire Kenyanesian Usurpation was treason by BOTH parties.
Yeah, Trump’s doing great.
Too bad he’s not the Attorney General too.
Thanks for pointing out the staggering difference between their respective records of accomplishment. It’s much more satisfying when of Corrupt Jeffy’s cheergirls points out just how much he sucks.
Have to figure our domestic enemies are doing their best to prep THEIR judges for what may lie ahead.
The Honolulu Hussein Head seems willing to do anything for his masters.
Yes. The current National Enquirer cover states as much...

“His preemption of Justice Department authority ...”
He didn’t preempt, did he, because he can’t preempt the Justice Department.
“The criminal activity (bribes, payoff, influence peddling etc.) is the starting point, not the server.”
Indeed. Someone needs to tell Hannity to start hitting on this, rather than the “mom and pop shop bathroom server”.
It seems any leaks have been coming from those whose lives he has touched. Not his team.
If it happens, game over.
Watch carefully who opposes it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IF it happens. The swamp opposes it.
I don’t think it can happen because everything inevitably leads back to Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 and EVERYONE in the District of Corruption (Trump excepted) is up to their necks in allowing an ineligible man into office in violation of the Constitution.
