Trump Set the Trap and the Rats (and RINOs) Walked In
Self | 3/4/2017 | LS

Posted on 03/04/2017 7:00:02 AM PST by LS

Over the past week the hysteria on the right and among some weak-kneed Trumpers has been over the top. Even Rush Limbaugh began to wiggle uncomfortably, fearing Trump did know what he was up against, and hadn't moved fast enough to deal with the "silent coup" against him.

Jeff Sessions' recusal supposedly showed that Trump, like all the rest of the Republicans, didn't know how to play hardball.

Ooops.

I can always tell when something big is about to happen at Team Trump when my contact messages aren't returned. And I'm always pleasantly surprised that Team Trump is one to a dozen steps ahead of anything I'm thinking.

Case in point: yesterday I drafted a memo urging Trump to go on offense against the Democrats, specifically the Congressional rats. And as usual, I'm thinking of building a bowling alley while Trump is envisioning a gleaming skyscraper.

Today Trump's offensive began. But only after cleverly baiting the hook, luring the enemy Cannae-style into an envelope from which there is no escape.

He didn't fight back against the guys in the ring. He went after their manager, their coach, and their funder-in-chief. Trump went after the head of the snake.

By Tweeting that Trump Tower and his personal residence were bugged---and apparently the evidence of such a wiretap approval exists---Trump again shows why he plays 3D chess and his enemies are playing Parcheesi. The Bible says it this way: "They will come at you one way and go away fleeing seven."

Other than the fact that this is OBAMA he is going after, the juciest part is that Sessions did NOT recuse himself from a wiretap investigation of Obama. Get it?

Trump just leapfrogged the whole Russia thing with an "It ends today." Now Team Trump has leverage to force a full and total standdown of all opposition to Trump inside Congress, all end to the disruptions, and meek and timid confirmation of all appointees. Or Zero goes to jail. That simple.

Many here will want blood. But I'm reminded of Sam Houston after he defeated Santa Anna at San Jacinto. Instead of hanging the dictator, he merely took all of the American Southwest. Santa Anna was out soon anyway, but we still have Phoenix, Denver, and (unfortunately) California. It will be a negotiation from strength, and the Dems will have no choice but to comply. They won't completely give up---there will be surreptitious acts with enough deniability---but this was a perfectly baited hook that all of Trump's enemies just walked into.

Your question wasn’t directed my way, but I am curious. What/when etc?

It’s like the Cowboys Herschel Walker trade. After it’s done, you can’t go back and get more.

I’ll say this again: Trump will either get people in jail or get his full agenda. He won’t get both. I guarantee I’d take the latter. People in jail will not reelect him, nor with that enable his agenda. Stonewalling and obstruction would increase.

You can have revenge or you can have a legacy. You won’t get both.

I hope you're right, but am cautious because the Left never, ever goes quietly into that good night. Never! Already this morning on Fox, Geraldo Rivera gave what seemed at minimum a superficially plausible reason why the Obama administration might have wiretapped then candidate Trump and his associates. So I doubt very much that suddenly the Left will back down.

So sweet if he can get a judge to sign off on tapping Obama and Valerie.

I don't follow how this will happen.

One of the side benefits of going after the jug-eared exchange student from Kenya is that he'll likely be remembered as the last black president in American history.

Or maybe that's the primary objective here after all.

Why not get the agenda, and then get the indictments?

Great Article LS...

I don't believe that Barky and Hillary are the complete head of the snake...this snake has ‘HEADS’...thinking of a few: United States Chamber of Commerce Tom Donahue; United Nations; George Soros; John McCain; Paul Ryan; Charles Shumer; two or three that are in President Trump's immediate group; CIA; FBI; DOJ; NSA; and I think as the days roll on now, things will come out, people will be exposed...

Washington D.C. is a ‘Swamp’ and there are many ‘channels’ in that swamp where different snakes sleep until they are needed...what our Great President Trump is going to do is clean the area where the ‘plug’ is and then when he gets it plain to see, he will pull it and the rest of the snakes will be drained...

It's going to be a lot of government people, Senators, Representatives, Wall Street, Main Street and others so grab the pop corn, buckle up and enjoy this ride, as I have been saying for months now: “This is going to be one hell of a ride”...

What’s new is that Trump said “I just learned” meaning he has new info.

Hmmmm. That seems like a stretch to me. What I really think is that Trump has known what the deal was all along and has finally decided or been persuaded to go on the attack.

In either case, it is a welcomed and, IMHO, an overdue development. Trump should release whatever he can about the FISA Court ruling without violating any security rules. I assume that will happen.

And it is time to begin the "outing" of the Obama-Soros Deep State Conspiracy. We need to get the media off the Russia story. It is a nothing-burger but it is hurting Trump.

It's Tweeting Time in D.C. Do it Donald.

Small problem.

Dems have no honor, no respect.

When dealing with medusa, cutting off the head will not end it.

Obama, as high in the hierarchy as he believes he is, will be cast adrift so fast it will make you wonder if you are living in a real world.

You cannot use Obama as a commodity to trade for safety or power.

The entire organization of the dem party, from top to bottom, along with the global enablers, must be plucked out by it's roots and utterly ground to dust, and ashes scattered to the winds, with the largest hammer available, or they will keep chewing on your heels, and plotting subversive, treasonous treachery in an effort o reclaim the power to guide civilization.

Not revenge because it's personal, and it belongs to someone else anyway.

Justice.

I certainly hope it also allows Trump to tap good ‘ole Soros in all of his various front groups and everyplace he has communications.
