It Was the Deep State that Colluded with the Russians, not Trump
American Thinker.com ^ | September 24, 2017 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 09/24/2017 6:43:13 AM PDT by Kaslin

As more and more leaks about the ongoing “Russian collusion” witch hunt by Robert Mueller appear in print, it seems to me that if Russia had been trying to erode our faith in our institutions, the Deep State is accomplishing what Russia failed to do.

The Obama claque’s efforts were initially intended to help Clinton when they thought she would win and no one would know about their crimes. Then they continued the unlawful spying to cover up their role in the worst case of misuse of federal power in our history, to effect the removal or emasculation of the President, and now they are desperate to cover up their illegal actions when all that failed.

A. Where we are today on “Russian collusion”?

Instapundit tweeted the answer succinctly: “The election was hacked!” turns out to mean, “Russia bought some ads on Facebook.”

Facebook is turning over ads presumably purchased by Russians during the campaign. Good -- let’s see them. As the article notes:

The announcement that Facebook would share the ads with the Senate and House intelligence committees came after the social network spent two weeks on the defensive. The company faced calls for greater transparency about 470 Russia-linked accounts -- in which fictional people posed as American activists -- which were taken down after they had promoted inflammatory messages on divisive issues. Facebook had previously angered congressional staff by showing only a sample of the ads, some of which attacked Hillary Clinton or praised Donald J. Trump.

The entire theme of the left is to destroy America as founded and turn it into the Soviet States of Amerika. That is it. The One World Government. God predicted these days over 3,000 years ago. The Bible reads just like todays news. The predictions made by the Prophets and Jesus Christ are upon us. It is as clear as the Bible. The End Times, the Last Days, they are upon us. Clear as a bell.

Will the investigation serve to cover-up what really happened?

Did Clinton collude with Mexico? Did her campaign use any illegal immigrants for door-to-door campaign work? That’s what I’d like to know.

When is this story REALLY going to get out?

Probably about the same time the stories below REALLY get out, i.e., never. Never because it's the NYT that decides what is news and what isn't. This is called bias-by-omission.

This happens. This happens a LOT!

Try to imagine the press coverage if a Republican president sold M-16s to Mexican drug lords.

Try to imagine the press coverage if a Republican president wiretapped a Democrat candidate and his/her people. Try to imagine the press coverage if a high-ranking Republican operative was caught trying to influence the sitting Attorney General about a political major case.

Try to imagine the press coverage if a Republican candidate was caught moving emails to a private server in order to avoid scrutiny.

Try to imagine the press coverage if a Republican candidate caught with (stolen) Secret and Top Secret emails on their private non-secure server.

Try to imagine the press coverage if a Republican president had sexual relations with a young intern in the Oval Office. The power differential between the two would have many in the press argue that the relationship was tantamount to rape.

Try to imagine the press coverage if a Republican president committed perjury, subornation of perjury, and obstruction of justice in federal court while in office.

Try to imagine the press coverage if a former Republican president's National Security Advisor was caught stealing classified documents from the National Archives.

Try to imagine the press coverage if a Republican president paid $400 million dollars in cash to a right-wing dictator. Try to imagine the press coverage if a Republican president paid the same right-wing dictator $1.4 billion just a few days after he paid the $400 million mentioned above. Try to imagine the press coverage if a Republican president traded 4 terrorist generals for 1 sergeant who had deserted his post in a war zone.

The Obamacrats were hot to help Clinton b/c she was considered a shoo-in. Then they got sloppy thinking Hillary would cover it all up and no American would know about the Obamacrats' heinous crimes: (A) the unlawful spying, (B) the worst case of misuse of federal power in US history, (C) their sorry attempts to effect the removal and/or emasculation of the duly-elected President, (D) the invented Russian meme, (E) conducting midnight raids on Trump's associates.....and so on.

And now they are desperate to cover-up their illegal actions....b/c all those efforts failed miserably.

===============================================

About time the Obama Crime Syndicate and his Police State operations be investigated as we start to get a better picture of how sinister the Obama operation really is (its still functioning via OFA). The genesis of the Democrats' "win at any cost" odious Russia misinformation campaign is suddenly clearer.

BACKSTORY Through the last half of 2016, the Obama administration was desperately searching for evidence of some link between the Trump presidential campaign and Russia.

<><> They went to great lengths, falsifying requests, twice seeking, then finally obtaining, a court-ordered FISA, that allowed them to spy on at least one Trump associate.

<><> we now know that Obama's NSA advisor, Susan "The Sifter" Rice, had an operation wherein raw NSA intelligence was sifted through for names of Trump associates, in hopes of uncovering dirt of some sort. These efforts came up dry. The Obama administration found no compromising information about Trump or any of his associates.

<><> Ever since the Trump Inauguration, the Democratic Party, especially its NY/DC press wing, has relentlessly pushed the Trump/Russia story. But that hasn’t stopped Democrat factotums in the press from talking about little else for the last three months.

<><>This is the kicker----- all along, the Democrats have known that their spying produced nothing.

This whole Obama/Comey/Mueller/Democrat spy apparat is almost unbelievably sordid. The relevant Congressional committees should investigate thoroughly, and criminal prosecutions should follow where laws have been broken.

I'm not sure for door to door campaigns, as most don't speak English, but did they vote illegally and especially for her?

Count on it, especially in Kalifornia.

The midnight raid operation on Trump associate, Paul Manafort, is actually VERY instructive.

Looks to me like the desperate Obama has reached new heights of paranoia.

He's desperate b/c Trump holds ALL the secrets of the dirty Obama presidency. In the hands of a lesser man than Trump, Obama might not have a thing to worry about.

Unfortuntely for the half/caste, the heinous "legacy" of the Obama presidency is writ large.....so much damage inflicted in so little time.

Obama has turned every federal agency into a political weapon: the FBI, the IRS, NSA, CIA, the UN, even the FISA court.

Trump now holds all of Obama's secrets. Secrets about Obama and his factotums weaponizing and corrupting everything good about democracy for their insatiable thirst for power, for their despicable "progressive" ideology, their obsession w/ a permanent Democrat majority, and for their twisted political ambitions.

We, the people, will make very sure that the Obama Crime Syndicate's activities prove to be their undoing.

follow the link to kaslin’s post from American Thinker.

imo, this piece lays out a lot on “the real story”.

here’s an interesting excerpt:

“The Justice Department and FBI set up the meeting at Trump Tower between Trump Jr., Manafort and Kushner with controversial Russian officials to make Trump’s associates appear compromised.”

The tumultuous events that unfolded after the election and reelection of Barack Obama bring to mind the words of author Mary Shelley when her character, Victor Frankenstein, says:

“I live in daily fear lest the evil monster whom I created should perpetrate some new wickedness.”

here’s a little more from the piece (may help add to discussion on your question?):

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

“Now Obama and his allies are or should be terrified that the scope of the illegal surveillance is revealing their criminal acts.

This is why I believe Mueller is growing increasingly desperate to find one crime by one person he can force by threat of jail to provide any shred of anything that might be used to justify their illegal espionage. Greenfield’s conclusion is apt: “The left is sitting on the biggest crime committed by a sitting president. The only way to cover it up is to destroy his Republican successor. A turning point in history is here. If Obama goes down, the left will go down with him. If his coup succeeds, then America ends.”

Greenfield’s observations are so very unnerving for the Obamacrats:

“The left is holding the bag......they are connected w/ the biggest crime ever committed by a then- sitting president, Obama. Their only way out is divergence.....to cover it up by destroying his Republican successor and to bury anyone connected to him. They've created a nightmare situation for themselves b/c if Obama goes down, the left will go down with him.

Occam's Razor. This makes more sense.

Clinton was already doing business with Russia and everyone remembers Soetoro's appeal to Medvedev.

“If Obama goes down, the left will go down with him. If his coup succeeds, then America ends.”

THESE are truly the two options we are faced with.
We will see one or the other.

My best guess is that we lose. Nobody seems to have the wherewithal to want to fight these criminal politicians in the establishment.

I hate to see it this way, but I believe this to be our reality.
