Democrats shoot and miss, so now it's time to give Trump a first term
Washington Times ^ | February 10, 2020 | Charles Hurt

Posted on 02/11/2020 7:29:14 AM PST by billorites

The most basic rule of bear hunting is: “If you are going to shoot a bear, don’t miss.” Or, as Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, “When you strike at a king, you must kill him.”

Well, Democrats threw every single thing they could think up at President Trump. And missed.

They failed to kill him. Or even bruise or scuff him. They failed to so much as tussle his hair.

Today, he is stronger than he has ever been — stronger than the day he got elected, stronger than the day he took office.

After all, on both of those days, he and his campaign were still being illegally spied upon by political opponents from the previous administration and its angry remnants.

Considering all the dark forces arrayed against him, it is truly a wonder that Trump has managed to accomplish all that he has accomplished in the past three years. But it was hardly a first term.

There was no “honeymoon,” as they call it. Hell, there was not even a break in the campaign against him. Hillary Clinton, Democrat opponents, the federal intelligence services and the vast majority of the media kept right on rolling in an effort to thwart him at every turn.

Trump loves to drive his enemies out of their minds by joking about serving a third, fourth or fifth term — even the next couple of hundred years. (His enemies are not very smart when it comes to math or human biology or the Constitution or even facts, for that matter.)

Most recently, he issued a Twitter message hinting at some sort of never-ending cosmic presidency a la Max Headroom that would go on for eternity.

“TRUMP 4EVA,” read the sign.

Of course, this is hilarious for anyone with a remaining sense of humor.

Dumbo Democrats threw every single thing they could think up at President Trump. And missed.Today, he is stronger than he has ever been — stronger than the day he got elected, stronger than the day he took office.....and still being spied on by political opponents from the Obama administration and its angry remnants.


Pres Obama’s maneuver of January 3, 2017-——his signing of NSA Data-Sharing Order Section 2.3 out of AG Lynch’s office ——is the coupe d’etat to blow out The Deep State.

Obama’s original ex/order contains some unusual language particularly the convoluted language WRT “The Strategic Delay of Section 2.3 of Obama’s Executive Order 12333.”
NOTE WELL: Prior to the formal signing of Section 2.3, greater latitude ALREADY existed within the White House in regards to collection of information – especially in relation to the Trump Campaign. However, once signed, Section 2.3 granted broad latitude to inter-agency sharing of information.

But by the time Obama’s new executive order was signed on January 3, 2017, all that information was already in the possession of Obama White House.
Thus, Susan Rice’s January 20, 2017 email to herself takes on an even greater significance b/c no one was ever supposed to know about the REAL meaning of Obama’s retroactive actions.....until Rice stupidly laid it all out in an official email.

When Susan Rice stupidly wrote a memo to herself, she inadvertently confessed to a series of crimes that added the time line and inferences about what the outgoing Obama administration illegally concealed from incoming President Trump and his aides.

After-the-fact memos are rarely a good idea....they reveal things the author never intended——as did Susan Rice in her now-infamous email to herself on Trump’s inauguration day.

Suzan skipped down the Yellowbrick Road, along with the mental midgets of the Obama Administraton.
Obama’s FBI, DOJ, ODNI, CIA and intelligence officials flipped a finger at protocol....and even worse ....they were intentionally dishonest with incoming President Trump and key members of his new administration.
Obviously their lack of honesty was a serious issue.......but flipping off established protocol had serious ramifications.

This was a “justification memo”......outgoing National Security Advisor Susan Rice needed to explain why there have been multiple false and misleading statements given to the incoming President Trump and all of his officials.

This is not a “CYA” memo, this is a justification memo for use AFTER the Trump-Russia collusion/conspiracy narrative collapsed; if the impeachment effort failed.
Her intellectually facile “By-The-Book” reference -refers to both she and then-President Obama being told by CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director Comey, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, that President Trump was the subject of an active counterintelligence investigation to determine if he was under the influence of the Russian government. But they NEVER told candidate Trump about it.

Even the timing of Rice’s Oz-ish memo, written 15 minutes prior to the end of the Obama administration, is ex-post-facto useful as evidence of the author’s intent.......as Suzan stupidly confesses to a host of crimes.

What people miss about Susan Rice and her need to write that last memo is her attempt to craft a record of a ‘COUNTER-INTEL’ operation that was ongoing and that Obama had instructed that everything be done ‘by the book’.
What is missing is that during a counter-intel investigation, it is permissible to lie, or in official terms ‘to disseminate disinformation’.

As long as the Obama spying was characterized as a counter-intel operation, it was legal to have words and actions left in place that might be discovered as untrue.
In other words, Rice’s final memo was an attempt to carve out a last minute get-out-of-jail pass for all those involved in the spying.

Rice likely foresaw that Congressional hearings might uncover false and perjured statements on the part of persons in the spy operation to which the response would be “So what? It was a Counter-Intel operation.”

This is why it was IMPERATIVE for Barr and Durham to investigate the ORIGINS because if the origins revealed no predicate, no basis, no genuine probable cause for launching a counter-intel operation, then Rice’s feeble stay-out-of-jail memo would fall apart.

perhaps the state legislatures can vote a waiver to the two terms under circumstances...

Two full terms without opposition party wasting a term with partisan impeachment...

or something like that. heck the ERA amendment has been going on for +30 years... trump should be able to get this done in two...

I think that Trump’s success, ironically, stems from the efforts to frame and remove him from office. Instead of demagoguing every one of his actions as DemocRATs normally do to block a Republican agenda, they got mired in a fake investigation and shampeachment. And while they were digging themselves ever deeper, Trump happily enacted his agenda.

I don't know why all you right-wingers are so hateful and support such a homophobic sexist racist warming denier like Trump. You should have just sat down, shut up, and given Hillary her turn! /s

Though it will never happen, a do-over in this instance would not only be fair, it would totally wipe out d’rat party for years to come. They fired, their shot missed, no lion was hit.

____________

But it raises a very serious question.

Since all these liars and charlatans in Washington canceled Mr. Trump’s first term, shouldn’t he have a shot at another first term? When will he get the first term to which he was elected in 2016?

I mean, just imagine all that Mr. Trump could accomplish if he had actually had a first term? Instead, he spent three years tangled in intractable fights with intelligence officials, the Department of Justice and Democrats in Congress over fantastical claims that were so crazy and conspiratorial that no rational person could believe them on their face.

But in a world where the truth is irrelevant, such lies thrive."

... and such lies, and others of various dark forces will continue.

God, these evil bastards need the hand of justice to slap them into the permanent hell that they deeply deserve.

Obama's SofS Hillary maintained a private, unsecured e-mail server as Obama’s secretary of state and did not turn it over to the government for archiving after leaving office. Obama later lied about his knowledge of this server, the existence of which enabled Clinton to withhold documents related to the Benghazi debacle from congressional investigators.....among many Clinton underhanded activities.

(AFTER SHE LOST OBAMA "SUDDENLY" REMEMBERED)
Obama Had a Deal With Hillary Allowing Removal Of State Dept Records.

By RYAN SAAVEDRA, dailywire.com, Dec 15, 2017

Newly-revealed documents obtained by conservative watchdog Judicial Watch reveal that the Obama State Department allowed Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her top aide Huma Abedin to remove sensitive documents that were not to be made public records (including official “Muslim Engagement Documents”).

Judicial Watch received the records on Thursday in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that sought all DS-1904 forms completed by or on behalf of Former Secretary Hillary Clinton, Former Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, Former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin, and Former Deputy Chief of Staff Jacob Sullivan.

Clinton and Abedin were permitted to remove both electronic and physical records, claiming “they were ‘personal’ materials and ‘unclassified, non-record materials,’ including files of Clinton’s calls and schedules, which were not to be made public.”

Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton noted the gravity of the latest revelations, stating they showed further corruption in the Obama administration and with Clinton.

“We already know the Obama State Department let Hillary Clinton steal and then delete her government emails, which included classified information,” Fitton said in a statement. “But these new records show that was only part of the scandal. These new documents show the Obama State Department had a deal with Hillary Clinton to hide her calls logs and schedules, which would be contrary to FOIA and other laws.”

Electronic records Clinton was allowed to remove:
Copy of “daily files.”
Non-record copy of a log of calls the Secretary made since 2004.
Official and personal copy of the Secretary’s “call grid” which is a running list of calls she wants to make.

Physical records Clinton was allowed to remove: 16 boxes of personal schedules from 1993-2008 (prior to her becoming Secretary of State).
29 boxes of miscellaneous public schedules ranging from her time as FLOTUS up to her State Dept tenure.
1 box of personal reimbursable receipts. 1 box of personal photos. 1 box personal schedule.
Personal correspondence.
Daily file binders. Gift binders. Gifts (actual). Topic binders.

Electronic records Abedin was allowed to remove
Outlook contacts.

Physical records Abedin was allowed to remove (5 boxes):
Travel Records
Muslim Engagement Documents
Newspaper Articles
Gift Archive Binder
FLOTUS “Courtesy Storage/Box Content List” Binder
CODEL Trips Binder
Menu Cards & Table Arrangement Binder
Personal Event Planner (2001 thru 2011)

“The originals of some Clinton documents were retained, such as the call logs and schedules,” Judicial Watch reports. “For other records, including material that predates Clinton’s tenure, there is no indication that a copy was made. The most significant of these are Hillary's personal correspondence and gift binders, which could reflect Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative ties.”

“We already know the Obama State Department let Hillary Clinton steal and then delete her government emails, which included classified information,” Fitton said in a statement. “But these new records show that was only part of the scandal.

These new documents show the Obama State Department had a deal with Hillary Clinton to hide her calls logs and schedules, which would be contrary to FOIA and other laws.”

NOTE The removed documents list was compiled by Hillary and is not verifiable.
