The Spygate Scandal Only Keeps Growing
epoch times ^ | 12/5/2019 | BRIAN CATES

Posted on 12/05/2019 7:40:00 PM PST by bitt

Watergate has nothing on this presently growing “Spygate” scandal.

We’re all about to watch the amazing spectacle of key Spygate plotters commenting on their own scandal’s developments as analysts and commentators on network news show panels.

ABC News didn’t have John Dean, G. Gordon Liddy, nor John Mitchell on a nightly panel discussing the day’s Watergate news. NBC will have John Brennan and Andrew Weismann, CNN will have Andrew McCabe and James Clapper, all of them hired and deliberately given a platform from which to spin attacks against Spygate investigators.

But will this massive spin machine assembled by the fake news media accomplish the task for which it has been created?

Will it be able to stop or turn back what Attorney General William Barr, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and U.S. Attorney John Durham will be rolling out?

I doubt it, because this isn’t a public-relations battle. Some people seem to think it is because the losing side has been reduced to a strategy in which they whine loudly on news network panels about how terrible it is that the president is victimizing them.

The release of Horowitz’s Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) report will answer many questions that still remain at this point. And the media spin machine, which isn’t going to like any of the answers, will have a terribly hard time trying to spin them.

What Is This FISA Report Really About?

After taking over the FBI’s probe, Robert Mueller’s Special Counsel’s Office tried for nearly two years to find any evidence that would prove a Trump–Russia election collusion conspiracy.

Mueller and his crack prosecution team failed to find any evidence whatsoever that anyone associated with the Trump campaign engaged in any foreign collusion with the Russians or anyone else.

DNC, CIA, MSM — where are the lines drawn? Are there lines? Is it just one entity?

There is a solution to the guilty spinning on CNN and MSNBC: indictments and gag orders.

It all stems from Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009.

Precisely why none of it will be resolved.

I applaud Epoch Times’ optimism.

They’ve covered this situation like no one else > IMO. They deserve credit for it.

The fact still remains, if this investigation gets to the bottom of the treachery and does file dozens of indictments, it will be the first time since around 1972 in over forty-five years that Washington got serious about corruption. And last time it was an avowed enemy of the Deep Leftist state.

This time it would be the Deep Leftist State itself in the cross hairs.

The odds don’t look good, but miracles never cease.

If Trump and his Justice Department are able to take down a good cross section of the deep state, it would be a feat extraordinaire.

The report does air on a Monday, not a sleepy Friday afternoon just after a Congressional recess has left Washington, D. C. empty.

It should garner major play on the MSM. Let’s just hope it’s a good wholesome major play, where criminality is finally discussed out in the open as a very real and likely thing.

I’m not burning with optimism, but the Dems have the throttle to the floor on impeachment. Either there are flames where we are told it’ll be only smoke or RBG may not make Christmas. There’s a surreal amount of left wing panic in the air. Wish the Republicans had testicles big as Rudy’s. Now could be the time to burn the Dems playhouse down.

lol. There is now no way that it cannot be anti-climactic. I'm afraid it is going to be like Hammer's "Ex-Wife" missile.

Imagine if the Nixon White House had iron-clad control over every word spoken and written by the MSM during Watergate.

That is what the coup-plotters have now.

Interesting times....

It is highly likely HRC will use her candidacy for president, as a way to try and force an end to the investigations getting too close to her and he husband.

This is the M.O.

It has been a while, but years ago, I spoke with an Arkansas state investigator who believed this was one of the primary, or most important reasons/strategies used by Bill Clinton originally, when running for president. It was in part to throw water on multiple investigations, because any ongoing investigation now became a “political investigation” by Bush’s DOJ on a political apponant. Of course, when Clinton won, he immediately purged/threw out any and all DOJ threats going forward, and as well acted to purge the DoD.

Today, all flagrant lawlessness is again pointing back to the same left wing source cabal, and with an IC and DOJ already heavily compromised by leftists, just announcing her candidacy will cause big left wing media blowback on President Trump and AG Barr.

With the militant anti-American/anti-God leftist globalist in absolute control of the press and media, the strategy will create much more negative pressure on investigations.

In and of itself, throughout modern history, many on the left have run for public office to interfere with investigations. While it has happened, it is truly very hard to actually take down any left wing member of Congress, regardless of how bad the crime.

She is so guilty, HRC almost has no choice but to run against President Trump. Either that, or she and Bill go into exile, of justice continues forward.

If Sessions had really done what was right, there is a much better chance HRC would have been dealt with, and blatantly ineligible.

So the opposite is now playing out.

If she formally runs, HRC will be backed by the overwhelming Marxist globalist mass media and press, and they will literally give HRC BILLIONS of dollars in free 24/7 accolades and airtime. Additionally, the large number of radical leftists running for president, have moved the narratives so far left (which I believe was their real purpose), HRC will now appear as the moderete to those “left of center”.

They bought her and she better pay up. Bush senior, former head of the CIA and Vice President ran against William Jefferson Clinton and lost. Dang wonder how that happened. ???

Ever wonder where we would be now if we hadn’t wasted at least a year old “Trust Sessions”?

“If she formally runs, HRC will be backed by the overwhelming Marxist globalist mass media and press”

That is not a foregone conclusion. I meant that you might be right, but I think it equally likely that HRC is yesterday’s news withing the Democrat Party.

I also have thought that a form of exile might be in the works for the Clintons. They will skip if it looks like indictments are coming.

FYI. Brian Cates totally got it wrong about Sessions. He championed the Sessions secret sting theory, writing almost daily about how Sessions was secretly investigating all these people. It was supposed to end up with all of them in prison.

It was almost as bad as the Q stuff.

We have been subjected to the most severe gaslighting the world has ever seen. And it has not worked. Miraculous, really.

Definitely.

The left keeps trying to tell us to pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

People like this writer are spinning wild, fairy tale theories.

I hope that the IG report and Durham actually bring the truth out, but I’m a bit skeptical.

If Barr were going to deliver Trump from his persecutors he would have done so long ago.
