The real reason for the Russia Hoax (and Ukraine, and impeachment, and the next thing)
american thinker ^ | 11/16/2019 | erik gregory

The Russia Hoax was never about Russia. It was always a cover story to unleash a legal assault on Team Trump, the sole aim of which was to look for, and create, secondary crimes (e.g., decades-old loan applications [Paul Manafort], a misremembered timeline [George Papadopoulos], raiding the son of a top-tier target [Michael Flynn] to compel a guilty plea, or the ever-reliable "lying" charge [Roger Stone]).

That's it in the shell of a nut. A single sentence.

And guess what: that single sentence is the current legal strategy for the Democrats, the Deep State, and the NeverTrump Republicans for the impeachment inquiry, which seeks to expand the probe well beyond Trump's call to Ukraine. The process works in three easy steps: (1) accuse Trump of any wrongdoing, no matter how baseless (e.g., Russia collusion); (2) turn the accusation over to a politically allied Department of Justice (DOJ) official (i.e., Robert Mueller); and (3) the politically loyal DOJ official (who understands the real purpose of the initial accusation) will look for (and create) any crime committed at any time in history on anybody associated with Trump. With any luck, he'll find an old Trump school buddy and raid him (for failure to pay parking tickets 10 years earlier, for example). The friendly DOJ official will then hold a legal gun to Trump's buddy's head and say, "We'll hit you with 10 counts of perjury, 20 counts of indecency, 30 counts of being a Republican, and we'll bankrupt you and your miserable family...unless you publicly say what we tell you to say about Trump." I'd squeal under those conditions. And after Trump's buddy has been sufficiently terrorized and "groomed" for public display, the friendly DOJ official will turn the buddy over to Congress, where his..

The real Impeachment reason:

Al Green told the truth, “ We have to Impeach him now or he will be reelected in 2020.”

AOC said of the Impeachment “...preventing a potentially disastrous outcome in 2020.”

The entire Schiff/Democrat Impeachment is a fraud one America.

Democrats will pay the price for deceit in 2020.

Like I’ve said, it’s a fishing expedition. A witch hunt.

Based on recent statements from USAG William Barr concerning investigations, the swamp desperately needs a Democratic president to pardon them, or swamp higher-up are going to wind up in prison.

Corrections, insights welcome.

It's just the socialists/communists taking a leaf (the whole book, actually) out of the Bolshevik's/Stalin Show Trials.

Schiff is just reading the script.

The issue is never the issue

http://curi.us/1676-leftist-lying-the-issue-is-never-the-issue

From Take No Prisoners: The Battle Plan for Defeating the Left by David Horowitz, on leftist lying:

Dishonesty is endemic to the progressive cause because its radical goals cannot be admitted; the dishonesty is a cultural inheritance, instinctive and indispensable. It is no coincidence that Barack Obama, a born-and-bred leftist, is the most compulsive and brazen liar ever to occupy the White House. His true agenda is radical and unpalatable, and therefore he needs to lie about it. What other presidential candidate could have successfully explained away his close association for twenty years with an anti-American racist, Jeremiah Wright, and an anti-American terrorist, William Ayers? Who but the ignorant and the progressively blind could have believed him?

The radical sixties were something of an aberration in that
its activists were uncharacteristically candid about their goals. A generation of “new leftists” was rebelling against its Stalinist parents, who had pretended to be liberals to hide their real beliefs and save their political skins. New leftists despised what they thought was the cowardice behind this camouflage. As a “New Left,” they were determined to say what they thought and blurt out their desires: “We want a revolution, and we want it now.” They were actually rather decent to warn others about what they intended. But when they revealed their goals, they set off alarms and therefore didn’t get very far.

Those who remained committed to leftist goals after the sixties learned from their experience. They learned to lie. The strategy of the lie became the new progressive gospel. It is what Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals is really about. Alinsky understood the mistake sixties radicals had made. His message at the time, and to the generations who came after, is easily summarized: Don’t telegraph your goals; infiltrate the Democratic Party and other liberal institutions and subvert them; treat moral principles as dispensable fictions; and never forget that your political agenda is not the achievement of this or that reform but political power to achieve the socialist goal. The issue is never the issue. The issue is always power—how to wring power out of the democratic process, how to turn the political process into an instrument of control, how to use that control to fundamentally transform the United States of America, which is exactly what Barack Obama, on the eve of his election, warned he would do.

Also, this:

From Radicals: Portraits of a Destructive Passion

In 1969, the year that publishers reissued Alinsky’s first book, Reveille for Radicals, a Wellesley undergraduate named Hillary Rodham submitted a 92-page research project on Alinsky for her senior thesis. In her conclusion Clinton compared Alinsky to Eugene Debs, Walt Whitman and Martin Luther King, as someone who was considered dangerous not because he was a self-declared enemy of the American system, but because he “embraced the most radical of political faiths — democracy.”

The title of Clinton’s thesis was “There Is Only the Fight: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.” In this title she had identified the single most important Alinsky contribution to the radical cause – his embrace of political nihilism. An SDS radical once wrote, “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” In other words, the cause of a political action – whether civil rights or women’s rights – is never the real cause; women, blacks and other “victims” are only instruments in the larger cause, which is power. Battles over rights and other issues, according to Alinsky, should never be seen as more than occasions to advance the real agenda, which is the accumulation of power and resources in radical hands. Power is the all-consuming goal of Alinsky’s politics

This focus on power was illustrated by an anecdote recounted in a New Republic article that appeared during Obama’s presidential campaign: “When Alinsky would ask new students why they wanted to organize, they would invariably respond with selfless bromides about wanting to help others. Alinsky would then scream back at them that there was a one-word answer: ‘You want to organize for power!’ In Rules for Radicals, Alinsky wrote: “From the moment an organizer enters a community, he lives, dreams, eats, breathes, sleeps only one thing, and that is to build the mass power base of what he calls the army.” The issue is never the issue. The issue is always building the army. The issue is always the revolution

Guided by these principles, Alinsky’s disciples are misperceived as idealists; in fact, they are practiced Machiavellians. Their focus is invariably on means rather than ends. As a result they are not bound by organizational orthodoxies or theoretical dogmatisms in the way their still admired Marxist forebears were. Within the framework of their revolutionary agendas, they are flexible and opportunistic and will say anything (and pretend to be anything) to get what they want, which is power.

What a crap article.

The “real reason” for the Russia hoax is Obama, Hillary and the intelligence apparatus of this nation does not want to got to prison or hang for breaking federal laws.

I seem to be the only one who gets this.

Its also to cover for crimes committed by the top of the Obama administration by accusing Trump of crimes related to what the Democrats actually did.

This coup will continue until the 'rats lose the House - hopefully in Jan, 2021 ....... and with the corrupt MSM perhaps on through Trump's second term. Prosecution for conspiracy may be the only antidote.

I’ve always wondered why Mueller and Weissmann eventually released the Mueller report without confirming the Russia collusion charge. The DNC and GPS Fusion went to such trouble to fabricate the dossier evidence and yet it was so defective and preposterous that Mueller couldn’t make it credible as hard as his team might try.

The President’s enemies certainly learned from this mistake and won’t make it again in Trump’s second term. Unless the perpetrators like Brennan and Comey are brought to justice it will only be a matter of time before they plant evidence that would stand up in court. Maybe the tax records will give them something to work with. Who knows? If no one pays any price for their first coup attempt there will be no cost to their next.

The real reason is to prevent Trump from dismantling the Deep State’s globalist utopia of eternal war and complete control over the serfs.

And who is the head of the Department of Injustice?

In order to pardon them, they first have to be arrested, charged, and convicted.

Nothing has yet happened. I will jump up and down if mass arrests take place, but I don't think they will. At best, we'll get a couple of indictments of lower level coup plotters, but Obama, Hillary, Soros, and members of Congress will walk away scott free.

You're correct.

Globalism.

From the sabotaging of Brexit, the globalist schemes of the UN and EU, to the New World Order plans of the Marxist/Democrat party - it all comes down to constructing the kingdom of the Antichrist.

These people are really working for Satan. Some know it, some don't. But the march towards the End Days continues.
