Mike Morell, the former acting CIA director, injected into the American political bloodstream the idea that Trump was an “agent” of Putin and Russia, a refrain that would be repeated over and over again by the Clinton campaign.

Morell’s claims would be heavily relied upon by the Clinton campaign throughout the summer and fall of 2016, and Clinton would personally and repeatedly tout Morell’s endorsement and his claims about Trump and Putin.

We are looking at needing a DOJ version of the Church Commission to prosecute the political criminality that has become SOP in our law enforcement and intelligence.

This conspiracy is going to tie the coup against Trump to the weaponization of Government against the American people

The media is the CIA.
The Democrats are the CIA.
The Deep State is the CIA.

We’re not a republic, really.
We are just pawns of the CIA.

Let’s break it into a thousand pieces.

Hopefully, Morell and his attorneys have Florida motel reservations in the vicinity of the Russia-Gate Grand Jury.

JFK wanted to do exactly that. He recognized the danger of the CIA and FBI was to our nation. Then JFK was assassinated.
