Trump administration going after former Obama officials
Things are heating up in DC, and I cannot wait to see how the media and Democrats pitch this story.
The White House announced that a new review of the Russian collusion hoax has implicated numerous Obama officials.
I am pretty sure the media and Dems will say this is a weaponization of the government, but it appears that is exactly what Obama did to try to take Trump out of the race.
Russia Did It
From the time that Donald Trump announced he was running for office, Democrats threw everything they had at him.
We later found out that the campaign was being investigated for Russian collusion.
At the heart of the investigation was the Steele dossier, a document that was paid for, in part, by the Clinton campaign and the DNC, not to mention it had been discredited by the FBI.
Oh, did I forget to mention that the document was then used to secure FISA warrants against Trump operatives?
Robert Mueller
Eventually, Robert Mueller was brought in as a special counsel to investigate the allegations, and he came up empty.
The report found no coordinated effort between the Trump campaign and Russia to rig the election, contrary to what Democrats had been saying, as well as what they would try to impeach Trump for after he was elected.
Now, Democrats know that Russia has tried to interfere in elections before, and they have since, as have China and other nations. That is just standard practice, and the United States is not innocent in this practice, as we have pulled strings on many occasions to get our preferred candidate in place in other countries. Heck, we have helped overthrow leaders to get our guy in place.
For me, the two biggest revelations were who had paid for the document and the FISA abuses, believing that significant charges would come from the FISA abuse, but it never happened.
Cards on the Table
Well, this review by the White House showed that operatives inside the Obama administration were stacking the deck, most notably John Brennan, who was in charge of the CIA at the time.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated, "President Trump was right -- again. Those who engaged in this political scandal must be held accountable for the fraud they committed against President Trump and the lies they told to the American people."
The investigation took a deep dive into his actions, reporting, "When confronted with specific flaws in the Dossier by the two mission center leaders -- one with extensive operational experience and the other with a strong analytic background -- he appeared more swayed by the Dossier's general conformity with existing theories than by legitimate tradecraft concerns."
It continued, “Brennan ultimately formalized his position in writing, stating that ‘my bottom line is that I believe that the information warrants inclusion in the report.’”
Brennan is a snake in the grass, as is former FBI Director James Comey and his Deputy Director, Andrew McCabe. And while you are at it, add the 51 names on that letter for Joe Biden during the 2020 race. So, now they know... what are they going to do about it?
