President Donald J Trump has distilled the issues, events and consequences into an op-ed published in Newsweek [Article Here]. As President Trump notes toward the end of his discussion, “there must be a reckoning.”
“The report by Special Counsel John Durham makes clear beyond a shred of doubt that the Russia Hoax was the most atrocious weaponization of our government in American history. It was a crime like no other.
Seven years ago, I ran for office taking on all the most corrupt forces and entrenched interests in our nation’s capital. My agenda was an existential threat to a Washington establishment that got rich and powerful bleeding America dry.
I vowed to stop mass illegal immigration, terminate globalist trade deals, end the sellout of our country to Communist China, stand up to the permanent bureaucracy and the corporate media, and break the neocon addiction to endless foreign wars.
In response, an unelected cabal in the senior ranks of our government, in concert with their chosen candidate, Hillary Clinton, and their allies in the media, launched the de-facto coup attempt known as the Russia Hoax.
Their goal was to prevent my election, and failing that, to throw me out of office or sabotage my presidency, undercut my agenda in Congress, block my domestic reforms, and interfere with my foreign policy.
For nearly three years, they carried out a massive disinformation campaign and lawless persecution based on the monstrous lie that I was a traitor to my country.
These Deep State plotters spied on my campaign. They forged false evidence to get illegal surveillance warrants and smear innocent people through leaks to the media. They offered $1 million for a fictitious dossier written by a foreign spy to try to frame me with treason. They shattered countless lives.
The Durham Report proves that the key figures involved knew from the start that the Russia Collusion conspiracy theory was a lie. The FBI launched their witch hunt without a scrap of legitimate evidence—and when they came upon exonerating information time after time, they covered it up and kept the hoax going forward.
The sickness was driven from the very top. FBI Director James Comey constantly pressured agents for more surveillance and warrants, demanding to know over and over “Where is the FISA, where is the FISA?”
Barack Obama and Joe Biden were in on it, too. They were briefed in August 2016 on reports that Clinton planned to “vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian Security Services.”
They knew the truth, yet they put our country through hell.
As savage and cruel as the Russia Hoax was for me, my family, my staff, and so many innocent bystanders, the real victims were the American People.
The destruction this hoax caused to America is almost incalculable. It subverted our democracy, it threatened our security, and it endangered our freedom.
At a critical moment when we should have been reducing tensions with Russia, the Russia Hoax stoked mass hysteria that helped drive Russia straight into the arms of China.
Instead of having a better relationship with Russia as I worked to build, we now have a proxy war with Russia, fueled in part by the lingering fumes of Russiagate delirium. Ukraine has been utterly devastated. Untold numbers of people have been killed. And we could very well end up in World War III.
As the Twitter Files have proven, the Radical Left establishment also used the Russia Hoax to attack freedom of speech. They built a sprawling domestic censorship regime under the guise of combatting so-called “Russian disinformation”—which they quickly defined to include any content they did not like.
The intelligence community, the media, and the Silicon Valley tech companies then deployed this very pretext, “Russian disinformation,” to censor the Biden corruption scandal in 2020—censorship orchestrated, as we now know, by the Biden campaign.
In one poll last year, 79 percent of Americans following the story about Hunter Biden’s sordid laptop said truthful coverage of that wrongly censored story would have changed the outcome of the election. Our country is now paying a very steep price.
Perhaps most dangerous of all, the Russia Hoax normalized the weaponization of law enforcement against the Left’s political enemies. The Radical Democrats and their media partners now cheer as Biden’s DOJ demands the FBI investigate parents at school board meetings, deploys heavily armed teams to arrest pro-life activists, and pursues an all-out persecution of Joe Biden’s leading opponent for the presidency.
These corrupted agencies have interfered in every election since 2016—and they are interfering in the 2024 election before our very eyes.
There must be a reckoning. Accountability now lies in the hands of the voters. The Durham Report has made the stakes abundantly clear, and now the choice is ours: either the Deep State destroys America, or we destroy the Deep State.”
I fear the 2024 election will be subverted even to the point of jailing Trump on some phony indictment. The Washington swamp greatly fears Trump for if he were to be re-elected his terrible wrath will end the corruption, political scheming and end scores of careers in much of the executive branch. If the Swamp, the DNC and the sycophant media again rig the election putting senile Joe or some other leftist in the White House, the next January 6th could resemble the storming of the Bastille
I would follow this man to the gates of Hell and beyond.

Well, the first January 6th was a bunch of overzealous trespassers at worse, the next time won't be an actual picnic like last time.
Let’s see the ankle biter minor Pubbie candidates (that’s all of them) respond to this. I’m sure DeSantis will issue a statement as soon as the focus group data is processed.
This is the campaign against Biden. He’s moved on from the primary.
Holy crap!
If only he could speak as well as this op-ed was written. One thing I would definitely would have added, is the addition of the armed IRS agents - while his son was trying to get off scot-free with his tax crimes . . .
Me too, and we might have to do just that.
the system ain’t about to indict itself.....
YES! HE HAS GONE FULL WYATT EARP!
Trump knows there will not be a 2024 election or at least it will be delayed. He and the military will be in charge of whatever transpires but there will not be another stolen election in 2024.
what makes you think the military brass will do the right thing if there is a repeat of 2020?

Refresh my memory-
Did any R team members jump into the Presidential race after the Durham report came out?
How does this happen, though? Trump doesn't control anything as he is an outsider. Everything he outlined in his op-ed is still happening in various ways, and nothing has been done about election fraud. And of course, you have a Democrat party that has gone full Marxist, and a feckless Republican party that does not appear to stand for anything at this point. If you are currently someone in the government that might want to do something about the corruption, who do you work with in the government to make this happen? The military is led by an Obama stooge, as is the DOJ. Unless there is a white hat sleeper(s) in a position of power, I don't see how any of this Q-type chatter happens in real life.
Hopefully president Trump we can vote our way out of this mess, but I’m not so sure.

DeSantis doesn’t need to pen whiny “woe is me” op-eds in Newsweek. He’s got actual conservative accomplishments in his resume.
Trump 2024. It’s our only chance.
Pictures are spreading it on a bit thick. But I agree there must be a reckoning for these crooks.
“ DeSantis doesn’t need to pen whiny “woe is me” op-eds in Newsweek.”
And he doesn’t need to be planning any changes to the décor in the White House, either. There’s absolutely no chance he will be the nominee as long as Donald Trump still draws breath.
Hell, I seriously doubt he’d win Florida.
