When Donald Trump seemed to have a lock on the 2016 Republican primary, the Democratic Party concluded that the people could not be counted on to do the “right thing” of electing the Democratic candidate in waiting Hillary Clinton.
What followed were eight long years of extralegal efforts to neuter candidate, then President, then ex-President, and then candidate again, Donald Trump.
The nonstop efforts were all justified as “saving democracy”—albeit by nearly destroying it.
In 2015-2016, the Hillary Clinton campaign fueled the lie that discredited ex-British spy Christopher Steele had discovered Donald Trump to be a veritable Russian agent.
Hillary did not disclose that she had paid Steele—with checks hidden through three paywalls. The FBI, under Director James Comey, also hired the fraudster.
Yet almost nothing in his “Steele dossier” was true.
The FBI doctored evidence submitted to a FISA court. Comey leaked to the press confidential documents about his private conversations with President Trump.
Comey’s successor, Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, lied on numerous occasions to federal investigators.
Both former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper repeatedly lied to the nation, saying that Trump was de facto working with the Russians.
The result? Trump lost the 2016 popular vote but still won the Electoral College.
Next, celebrities and well-funded liberals waged a media campaign to convince the electors to become “faithless.” Left-wing elites begged them to renounce their constitutional duties and instead throw the election to Hillary Clinton.
Once Trump was elected, “Russian collusion” was fired up again in hysterical fashion.
A special counsel, Robert Mueller, consumed 22 months of the Trump presidency. His investigation team constantly leaked falsehoods about the “walls closing in on” Trump.
After nearly two years, Mueller announced there was no evidence of a Trump effort to collude with Russia.
After nearly a decade of utter madness, can we finally order the FBI, DOJ, and CIA to butt out of our elections?
Prof Hanson lists previous history to ask this simple question. I do not like the answer that I will get ...

“Instead, why not, at last, just let the people choose their own president?”
I am reminded of something some leftist politician said about twenty someodd years back:
“This is too important to be left to the will of the people”.
“It’s always about the revolution.”
If Trump is reelected, and Congress goes republican, get a special counsel, fire those 51 intelligence officials who sold out their country for pieces of silver.
Then arrest Brennan and send him to Gitmo as I believe he is the ring leader in all of this. Then work chronologically from Uranium One and unravel everything. In the interim, get the country back onto solid footing as the leader of the free world. Our citizens come first and I know Trump will take care of us.
Of course restart the border wall and from what I am seeing, might be a good idea to put one up on our northern border also. Then get rid of every illegal in this country.
I am tired of all of this crap.
The BRICS nations stand to collapse the US dollar in the next few years, maybe sooner.
Brennan is a communist, just like Putin. The Ukraine was staged between the Democrats, WEF Elite and Putin along with actor Zelensky. The elite are banking their billions from the war to be ready for the collapse of the West.
After the collapse, the world can be reorganized into a single socialist system, free of the pesky US Constitution, Supreme Court and conservative voters.
Putin will go down in history as the man who helped usher in world socialism.
You posted the remainder of Hanson’s article then posted your usual reminder not to do that.
The whole, “Russia! Russia! Russia!” shtick finally makes sense once you realize who the Democrats knew we’re going to oppose what they were doing in Ukraine.
Has a former prosecutor ever been president?
Prosecutors have pathological personalities.
Bttt.

Can We Let the Voters Decide?
… the DC politicians all join together with a resounding - “NOOOO!!!.. -this is OUR club.. a-a-and you peasants AREN’T allowed!!!”
If voting really mattered, you wouldn’t be allowed to do it.

Wow, aren’t you a little ray of sunshine this morning!
Some of us will fight for our God given rights.
There are but a few hundred administrators and politicians involved in this debacle. No one said it would be easy, but it will be done. They haven’t tried it with an armed and disagreeable population.
Why the heck are we ASKING?!
You don't just order people who have given aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States to butt out of our elections.
Through the Justice of trials, convictions, and sentencing, you make sure those people never butt into our elections again.
I never said that we shouldn’t fight.
Plus it is a lot more than a few hundred. We are talking tens of thousands worldwide as part of this.
China says the United States days of bullying the world are coming to an end.
Russia says “BRICS must be prepared for the collapse of the dollar.”
[The nonstop efforts were all justified as “saving democracy”—albeit by nearly destroying it.]
The Establishment Uniparty Old Washington D.C. does not want the voters deciding on the Presidency.
So they went all Banana Republic.
2024 is the fork in the road America.
