Who knows what wrongdoing will be revealed in the treasure trove of documents the president ordered declassified this week.
It will take time to sift through evidence about what he calls the “single greatest political CRIME in American History, the Russia Hoax.”
But whatever it is, chances are that the Democrats already will have accused their enemies of committing the very same crime.
This is the psychological art of projection and it is their favorite political weapon. Projecting your guilt onto your opponent is “the cleverest trick in propaganda,” as Hitler’s minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, once described it in 1934.
So it is no surprise that one of the most recent documents declassified by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe shows that the only candidate who used Russian disinformation in the 2016 campaign was not Donald Trump but Hillary Clinton, who has shouted loudest and longest that the president is a Russian agent.
Handwritten notes from then-CIA Director John Brennan shed light on US intelligence from late July 2016 of Russian claims that Clinton personally had approved a plan to “stir up a scandal” against Trump by tying him to Vladimir Putin in order to distract from her use of a private e-mail server. Brennan’s notes suggest he told President Barack Obama all about the plot.
Looks like Russia collusion wasn’t a hoax, after all. But the FBI targeted the victims while allowing the culprits off scot free.
This probably is the worst case of Democratic projection in history. But it prompts a roundup of other notable instances when Democrats shifted their own wrongdoing, thought crimes and malign motivations onto their opponents.
Take their latest attack line on the president, that his brain is addled from coronavirus treatments.

I really hope this thing becomes a TV miniseries some day, like "Boardwalk Empire". Characters should literally have black or white hats. Dialogue shouldn't be "dumbed down" to the extent that its annoying, but they should spell out what's happening --
"So, the plan is to screw Trump, right? We get Russia to help us? And Hillary's got the cash? She's gonna pay for this? Fantastic. And then -- and this is beautiful part -- then we start legal proceedings against Trump for his conspiracy with Russia and how he funneled money to foreign spies -- to screw himself in the 2016 election! HAHAHAHA! I love this job!"
The Sting failed but they continue to lie to delegitimize the Trump Administration
When they leave office in 2024, they will not allow them peace
What could possibly go wrong?
