The Latest Whopper -- The FBI Was Actually Trying to ‘Protect Trump’
American Thinker ^ | May 21, 2018 | Brian C.oondeph

Oh, what a tangled web we weave... when first we practice to deceive.”

This quote is attributed to Sir Walter Scott, a Scottish historian and novelist. Too bad he wasn’t available for a sermon at the royal wedding this past weekend, rather than social justice preacher Bishop Michael Curry. The House of Windsor certainly wove a tangled web over the decades.

The Deep State has been weaving its own tangled web of Russian collusion for the past two years beginning with Russia supposedly hacking the 2016 election, creating the electoral outcome they desired. It has since morphed into Trump colluding with the Russians, despite zero proof on the one-year anniversary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s free-for-all investigation by his merry band of partisan Democrats.

It’s now to the point that Mueller’s team is investigating anyone in Trump’s circle who ever ate a bowl of borscht or drank a sip of Russian vodka. At a time when this couldn’t get any more ridiculous, look no further than the Washington Post for a version of “can you top this?”

A few days ago, the WaPo published an opinion piece entitled, “The FBI didn’t use an informant to go after Trump. They used one to protect him.”

Sure, they did. I can’t wait to read from the WaPo how Iran wants nukes to “protect” Israel or that that sanctuary cities are for the “protection” of legal, law-abiding residents of those cities.

The Trump piece was written by Asha Rangappa, a former FBI agent and Yale graduate. That’s two strikes against her already. The Clintons are Yale graduates and James Comey is a former FBI agent. I rest my case.

If they planted a spy in Hillary’s campaign, the Democrats and the fake news media would have hit the roof.

You can be sure they would never accept the risible lie it for her “protection” as justification to do it.

Breaking the law is OK to get Trump. That’s what its really all about. The end justifies the means.

The fake news media is evil.

Well the police originally claimed that they went to check on OJ to make sure that he was safe.

Did the interviewer ask Ding-Dong-Diddly-Rahgappa why Mueller was taking so long seeing how the FBI was engaging in real-time monitoring of Russians hacking the election? Everything should have already be known by November 8, 2016.

They owe Richard Nixon an apology for Watergate.

According to them, the lie was worse than the crime.

Look who’s lying now.

Riiiight, but they didn’t want him to know and that’s why they’ve been concealing it until it was about to come out anyway.

Is there a website where I can sign up for my own FBI spy to protect me from the Russians? I think they want to control my vote.

They really do hold the belief that supporters of President Trump are idiots that will buy anything. Or is their target really the Democrat base? They actually are stupid enough to buy this woman’s hogwash though, so it must be them she is selling her BS to.

GW Bush: I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system.

Orwell: And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed – if all records told the same tale – then the lie passed into history and became truth....It was quite simple. All that was needed was an unending series of victories over your own memory. "Reality control," they called it: in Newspeak, "doublethink."

When law enforcement feels that someone is the target of a threat, they will brief the person explaining the nature of the threat and explain how law enforcement proposes to handle the threat. There is no such thing as "secret protection".

Hey, that makes too much sense. See post #36.

Now that is an odd take.

We are trying to remove you to protect you from the Russians.

Daily Caller: According to The Times, officials discussed approaching campaign officials to ask about their Russian contacts. But that idea was tabled because of the fear that interviewing witnesses and issuing subpoenas ran the risk of publicizing the investigation — a scenario FBI officials hoped to avoid down the final stretch of the presidential campaign.

The claim is: "Secret" investigation is better for Trump than a standard one which might put information which might hurt Trump into the media. But that is absurd. Look at the leak of the "dossier," for example. More likely, they wanted to keep Trump in the dark because they feared Trump might try to protect huimself.

It’s just dumb on the face of it. If it were to help Trump then why not disclose the situation to him? There would be no reason not to.

It’s laughable on the face of it.
