This outline is reliant upon:
(1) intellectual honesty;
(2) accepting what is, and not what we wish/hope to be; and
(3) the welcomed challenge to prove it all wrong.
Please, prove this analysis wrong – and if we can’t prove it wrong; not by hopes and dreams, rather by actual quantifiable evidence; then please provide possible solutions – quickly.
There are two facets, two recent researched stories, that paint a very disturbing scenario.
The first facet is a reality that Senate Security Officer James Wolfe was given, and leaked, a copy of the Carter Page FISA application on March 17th, 2017. This is important because it leads to context within the larger issue.
It is virtually guaranteed that James Wolfe received and leaked the FISA Application [SEE HERE]; however, not only was he not charged with the leak, not a single media outlet has taken the overwhelming evidence, reported on the leak – or questioned the DOJ or FBI about why Wolfe was only charged with lying to investigators in December last year.
Why? Why is that massive DC corruption story completely overlooked? What does that say about the fourth estate?
It would be entirely impossible for that story to be hidden if the DOJ, FBI, political system (within the Senate Intelligence Committee), and fourth estate were functioning correctly. Something is severely broken, and there’s no-one doing a darned thing about it.
♦ Accepting that dysfunction leads us into the more recent issue:
The details and circumstances surrounding the plot to smear Judge Brett Kavanaugh, through the use of Ms. Christine Blasey-Ford, by a group of politicians, political operatives and former DOJ/FBI officials.
[SEE HERE].
However, don’t get caught up in the weeds. For now just look at the bigger picture.
Think about the known names and positions for a moment.
•Ms. Christine Blasey-Ford (academic psychologist and life-long best friend of a former career FBI agent);
•Ms. Monica Lee McLean (former 24-year career DOJ/FBI insider);
•Mr. Michael Bromwich (former DOJ inspector general and career DOJ/FBI official);
•Mr. David Laufman (former CIA, and DOJ-NSD Asst. U.S. Attorney General);
•Ms. Debra Katz (political operative and legal counsel with deep DNC attachments);
•Senator Dianne Feinstein (ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee);
and the myriad of media allies (Mayer, Farrow) and political operatives who each played a role in the scheme.
Again, skip the weeds. Just look at the big picture.
The smear campaign against Judge Brett Kavanaugh didn’t just involve a small team of connected insiders; their enterprise carried across multiple institutions, the legislative branch, political operations and the media. This SCOTUS smear campaign was a major effort consisting of multiple organizations (inside and outside of government) and multiple people, and it took considerable planning and coordination to execute.
Now, apply your own intellectual honesty here….
Do you really think that all of those elements described above would even consider going after a supreme court nominee with a baseless lie if they thought they would get caught?
Think about it.
What level of risk would have to exist in order to begin constructing such a fraudulent scheme? Who/What would be the “risk elements” under consideration?
To begin constructing this effort the architects would need confidence that all elements normally functioning within oversight, which under normal circumstances could catch them in the system process, were under control.
That level of confidence is beyond normal hubris.
The people working this scheme would need very strong confidence in pre-existing institutional control within the system of the DOJ, the FBI, the Senate Judiciary and the media apparatus – writ large.
If they thought the current Department of Justice or current Federal Bureau of Investigation was not under their control, or not able to be influenced by their control, they would never begin.
If they thought the current DOJ or current FBI were functioning, they would never even begin to construct such a scheme. It just wouldn’t happen; because they wouldn’t think they could:
(A) pull it off; and
(B) avoid accountability if caught.
In addition, they would have to believe the politicians within the Judiciary Committee and their political allies in total could operate to assist without scrutiny or questioning. Also, they would need to have confidence the Fourth Estate (media) was entirely on their side and no opposition would exist to present a risk from investigative exposure.
All of those elements would be needed in forethought in order to begin constructing the extensive plot against Judge Kavanaugh. If they didn’t have confidence in the status of those institutions they would never begin.
If we accept the premise: if they thought they would/could get caught they would never begin, then we must accept a more disconcerting reality.
They began because they had no risk of getting caught. The current institutions are corrupt.
Adding what we know about the James Wolfe outcome to the current Kavanaugh plot, and what stands in front of us is an entirely corrupt set of institutions providing no law, no order, and absolutely no oversight. Abject FUBAR.
Again, big picture. This means the current DOJ, current FBI, current Senate-side of the legislative branch, and current media apparatus are entirely dysfunctional.
All of these corrupt people, including all those connected to the DOJ/FBI plot against the Trump administration, must have some confidence there is no operational function larger than the corrupt elements they control within it.
The Kavanaugh plan was not hatched in 2016, or even in 2017. This plot was executed in the past few weeks.
This means all of those corrupt elements are *CURRENTLY* in place. Without those elements currently in place, Ford, McLean, Bromwich, Laufman, Katz, Feinstein, the media, Lawfare and all those involved, would never have attempted their ploy.
Now, as stated in the introduction – prove me wrong. Please… Because the mid-term election is only one month away.
If those former DOJ and FBI insiders thought Jeff Sessions, Rod Rosenstein, Chris Wray, David Bowditch, or any official inside the current DOJ and FBI, was a risk to them – they would never have begun such a transparent scheme.
So where does that leave us?
I think we are on favorable ground. We will do well in the mid-terms. Serious draining will begin soon after. The Dems put all their chips on stopping Kavanaugh and using that as momentum to seize power in November. That backfired. I’m very optimistic.
As Rush and Collins pointed out on Friday, Kavanaugh has deep roots in the swamp.....hope they’re wrong
I agree. The Dems rolled the dice and got craps. My only fear is how much they will cheat in November to steal every election they can.
Nice to read cheery thoughts with my morning coffee. Thanks.
Arrest all senior dimocrat guilty parties such as feinstein as well as schemer and others. ford and her enablers behind bars.
Dimocrat party purged of seditious criminals and overhauled or disbanded.
Everyone of us has swamp roots. Anyone born after 1932 is a child of the swamp.
Definitely food for thought!

Matt Bracken has written extensively on this problem - and more importantly, how to stop it.
All that is needed for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing.
The swamp serves Trump’s political purposes. Why would he drain it?
The racist, regressive fascists did a stupendous job in nearly upending what was a nearly shoe-in confirmation. The old Republican white men got caught with their pants down again.
Lots of Kabuki here. The only thing I learned (from Lindsey) is that sex change operations are apparently reversible.
For the racist, regressive fascists this was a great trial run. If conservatives had such warriors this might be an even fight.
All elections are local. In what specific precinct in what specific Election Board district/County do you fear the will steal votes?
In what specific close race in that specific precinct will they steal votes? Only in a close race will it make a difference.
FEAR without a specific known situation is ridiculous. When I was active in a contested race in Chicago I knew exactly who was stealing the votes in which precincts and in many cases when and how. For example, a Democrat precinct captain went into a polling place at 5am to cast a “few votes”, just to make sure the machine would work for the 6am opening. The election judges and I and others knew and saw this. We all tried to get Republican States Attorney Bernard Carey to prosecute. He didn’t.
One of the best pieces I’ve ever read.
Add to it I believe the only reason some players are helping PDJT now is they see they would be on the losing side...zuckerberg, McConnell, Graham...these are swamp rats who are now helping...maybe not zuck, but sitting in favor of kavanaugh is to curry favor knowing all the illegal crap he’s done.
Following trials and convictions, make it six feet deep.
Sundance is being dishonest in this post.
He has engaged in character assassination of those who disagree with his view that there is sufficient known evidence Sessions and Wray are traitorous Deep State actors.
Sundance has specifically said that anyone who refuses to adopt his view of Sessions and Wray is willfully blind or deliberately ignorant. IOW anyone who disagrees with Sundance on Sessions and Wray is a liar or intentionally subversive.
There is nothing wrong with anyone believing that Sessions and Wray are Deep State traitors. There have been no perp walks or public indictments of the criminals who we all know are criminals. A possible explanation for the inaction is that Sessions and Wray are Deep State traitors.
In fact, at Sundance’s website a vast majority of posters believe exactly that, and express themselves to that effect hundreds of times a day, bitterly complaining about Sessions at every possible opportunity in same dreary, trite nasty language, over and over, as if readers did not get the point the first several dozen times it was expressed.
But more disturbing is the vicious name calling of anyone who expresses the opinion that there is not enough evidence to conclude Sessions is a Deep State Traitor. Most of the name calling and insults is just childish, but a lot of it is also straight up character assassination of the type Sundance has used, calling people dishonest and implying they are traitors like the “traitor” Sessions.
It’s his website, so Sundance can name call all he wants, and encourage the daily outpouring of hatred aimed at anyone who is not yet prepared to adopt their bitter opinion of Sessions.
The funny thing is, whatever Sessions is or is not, he is or is not. ONLY the Sessions haters like Sundance cannot let it go, to wait to see how it all turns out. Whether you hate Sessions or not, whether you will succeed in your goal of telling every body you “knew” all along — that your were the highly insightful Prophet of Doom — what anyone says now will have zero effect on the outcome.
The problem is the character assassination and the vicious hatred directed toward fellow Trump supporters. What possible good could there be in viciously attacking people who share the same goals and aspirations? Why call them liars and Deep State agents, willfully blind and deliberately ignorant?
The Sundance post up top is framed as a reasonable request, but in fact it has been already answered on Sundance’s site many times, and the answer was never engaged logically or reasonably, just met with venom, hatred, and character assassination. So the post up top is in fact disingenuous, a way to avoid recognizing and apologizing for name calling and character assassination of fellow Trump/MAGA patriots.
How can a patriot engage in such intense hatred of other patriots? As with Sessions, the facts presently are unknown and unknowable, and maybe always will be.
BOOKMARK
Ever actually drain a swamp area? AS long as it is covered in water you can boat or skim across the top.
The smelly mud underneath is hard on the nose. This is what is happening. People are finally starting to smell the mud as it is no longer covered so deep. The mud is a lot harder to remove and it is possible to get stuck in it. It is a lot more dangerous exposed. Depending on the depth you could be suffocated as in quicksand.
