An Explosive Story of Treachery Within the Trump Administration
townhall.com ^ | 10/23/2020 | William Marshall

Posted on 10/23/2020 9:10:17 AM PDT by rktman

Rich Higgins is the quintessential American patriot.

A tough, blunt-spoken guy from the streets of Boston, he began his career as an Army bomb technician in the 1990s. He went from screening visitors to the Clinton White House, looking for hidden explosives, to clearing IEDs in Iraq, to working in the Trump administration as a national security expert, worrying about metaphorical boobytraps set by Obama holdovers and Deep State seditionists.

Higgins’ new book, “The Memo: 20 Years Inside the Deep State Fighting for America First,” is an eye-opening and unique book for a political memoir. It is not heavy on political wonkiness, policymaking stratagems, and personal vendettas typical of Washington, DC tell-alls. It is a refreshingly direct tale of a talented young man’s rise from the enlisted ranks of the military into politics and then policy-making, only to discover the realities of a brutal and seditious opposition fighting to preserve a decrepit, America-destroying agenda that culminated in an outrageous coup attempt against a U.S. president.

What Higgins quickly discerned at the outset of the Trump administration in early 2017, however, was that there were only a relative handful (six or seven) fellow staffers on the NSC who truly believed in Trump’s MAGA philosophy. Meanwhile, there were 60 or 70 Obama holdovers, and many, many individuals on the NSC staff who sought to undermine Trump’s agenda, either overtly or covertly, actively or passively.

And traitor strozk get a high paid, prestigious(?) job at georgetown U. Who says life ain't fair? Thank you Mr. Higgins. Just further confirmation that there are forces arrayed that would love to see this country fold. Hopefully the next 4 Trump years will see some of them come to justice.

The only way President Trump will see justice served is if he is willing to destroy the GOP.
They were complicit in all the crimes of the Kenyanesian Usurpation and the coup attempt on him.

Thankfully no one has turned to vigilante justice out of frustration.

If you want to Drain the Swamp you need to prepare a loyal Shadow Government in the background ahead of time and then start rolling heads on Day One in office. Trump should have done this.

I had an old car while I was in college. I think that there was a dent in every body panel. I swore to myself that one day I would have a sports car.

I was trudging through the snow to get to my car when I saw a Datsun 260Z coming towards me. That was the sports car for a young man!

The car went by, and I looked to see who was inside. In the passenger’s seat was a pretty young woman from one of my classes. She smiled at me as the car went by.

In the driver’s seat was one of my professors. The bearded Communist Party Of America member professor. The married professor.

I realized several things at that time.

That pretty girl, who never struck me as being too smart, was getting an A because she was having sex with the professor. The married professor.

I also realized that people can lie about their political beliefs. This professor thought he was cool by telling us all he was a communist. He was a communist driving a nice new sports car.

People can say they are socialists while they are stuffing their pockets full of cash.

Look at Bernie Sanders.

Yeah, that would be really sad if some deep state traitor became a victim of some vigilante or something.

This is not just national it is international in scope. There is an worldwide competition between various factions for control. I believe Trump was the winner of a contest between these factions. We see this contest happening and attribute it to the normal give and take of politics. It is but we just do not realize the scale. This election is no exception.

The stark reality is that GOP is a fake party that does not care about us, our values or our conservative principles. Moreover, it has no real interest in supporting the agenda and the objectives of the president we elected.

The GOP is never going to represent us. Trump has expressed on several occasions his disappointment and ongoing frustrations with the GOP. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he started to lay the foundations for a new party if he is re-elected. I think there would be a mass exodus from the GOP if there was a viable political alternative. The sooner the better.

This probably the saddest truth in national politics today. The rot runs deep. Just look at the late John McCain and the cuck known as Paul Ryan as proof. Then there's Mitt Romney and all the other RINO's who claim to be moderates.

Drove through an area of a nearby university town, that I had not visited in 50 years.

Biden/Harris signs were everywhere, posted in front of massive mansions, all belonging to university professors and doctors.

I wonder how they would feel if a “new green new deal administration” told them their houses were too big for the number of people living in them, and they have to taken in two or more families, in order to continue living in their houses?

That was a great way to frame that...nice job!

It is so true. I have found that dichotomy, the people who most ardently wish for socialism are the people who who own a big house, lots of land, and material objects up the wazoo.

I work at a hospital, and a few years back, we were doing a major expansion. I worked out in a trailer with open space, so all the construction people would park out there.

Right under my window one day, I saw a high end, glossy black pickup with all the bells and whistles, easily $70-80K. It was a union guy, and he had a Bernie Sanders sticker on the back as the only adornment.

I swear, I just can’t roll my eyes any higher at this stuff.

People who think they can ride on the tiger’s back usually end up in the tiger’s belly.

This DeepState treason will continue until these leftists are tried, convicted and serve as onetime rope testers.

There is only one answer. Move the Capital. Leave the Deep State to stew in their juices. Make Washington DC a museum/tourist trap fossil of the past. It would buy us 100 years of freedom.

60 or 70? That’s not a council, that’s a platoon.

No wonder intelligence is so fouled up; too many cooks.

The majority of DC is corrupt. The only way to kill it is expose each and every one, Left and Right. I am not a lawyer, but this game of the rest of the family gets the money is probably legal, but not right. I’d still hang them.
