The U.S. Justice Department is 100% justified to conduct a criminal investigation of Obama, former CIA directors John Brennan and James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, and others. Hillary Clinton should join this list.
These thugs’ collective Russia Hoax raped Lady Justice, jailed innocents (e.g., George Papadopoulos), and sentenced others to prison (Mike Flynn, Roger Stone) who would be incarcerated today—absent President Donald J. Trump’s late-first-term pardons.
This monumental fraud deeply, needlessly cleaved this nation: Half of America believed that Trump was a KGB agent who hypnotized 63 million “useful idiots” into supporting him.
The other half was appalled to see the first so blindly enraged by Trump’s mere presence that they chugged Obama-Clinton-Comey’s venom like college freshmen beer-bonging Budweiser.
It would be bad enough had the Russia Hoax started as a sincere examination of serious allegations that Trump danced to the Kremlin’s tune. Instead, just-declassified documents confirm that this massive human-rights violation was cooked up from Day One.
Last week at the White House, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard unveiled a July 25, 2016, e-mail in which George Soros aide Leonard Benardo praises Clinton foreign-affairs adviser Julianne Smith’s “long-term affair to demonize Putin and Trump. Now it is good for a post-convention bounce. Later the FBI will put more oil into the fire.”
Two days later, Benardo wrote: “HRC approved Julia’s idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S. elections. That should distract people from her own missing email.”
The Russia Hoax continued, as a modern Watergate, without the break-in.
That October, armed with the lies that Hillary’s campaign purchased from former British spy Christopher Steele, FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith lied even further to the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court. He falsified an exculpatory e-mail that showed that Trump campaign adviser Carter Page worked in Russia as a US intelligence asset. Clinesmith falsely claimed that Page was “not a source.” This lie made Page’s frequent trips to Russia look fishy. So, the FISA Court approved a surveillance warrant on Page, and the Democrat’s espionage against Trump’s campaign swung into gear.
The Watergate Burglars should have had it so easily.
This, of course, was not enough to win Hillary the White House.
As the ultimate act of sore losers who could not concede their defeat at the polls, the Russia Hoax soon became a Democrat-led Blitzkrieg against democracy itself. Rather than accept the results of the democracy that they claim to love, Democrats rejected the American people’s will and used the 100% fake Russia Hoax to sabotage Trump’s attempts to keep the promises that won him 304 Electoral College votes versus Hillary’s 227.
Rather than admit that she was a terrible, unlikeable, candidate whom Trump outworked and outsmarted, Team Hillary pointed their fingers elsewhere.
Soon after Hillary’s defeat, her top strategists, Robbie Mook and John Podesta, “assembled her communications team at the Brooklyn headquarters to engineer the case that the election wasn’t entirely on the up-and-up,” Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes wrote in their post-2016 exposé “Shattered: Inside Hillary Clinton’s Doomed Campaign.”
“They went over the script they would pitch to the press and the public. Already, Russian hacking was the centerpiece of the argument.”
However, the CIA was not convinced—yet.
In early December 2016, senior CIA officers concluded: “We don’t have direct information that Putin wanted to get Trump elected.”
Not helpful.
So, Obama ordered the CIA to try again.
The Company gave Obama the “right answer” on January 6, 2017: “We assess Putin, and the Russian government aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances when possible by discrediting Secretary Clinton and publicly contrasting her unfavorably to him.”
Democrats could not simply throw darts at photos of Trump wearing a Russian fur hat. Instead, they turbocharged Mook and Podesta’s “Putin elected Trump” rubbish and slowed Trump’s enactment of the agenda America’s voters hired him to deliver.
All of this went well beyond spreading disgusting lies about hookers urinating on Trump in a Moscow hotel room or generating a deep-fake video of Trump paying his respects at Lenin’s Tomb.
Lightyears worse than any campaign dirty trick, the Russia Hoax ground on for three years—even longer than World War II’s Siege of Leningrad.
Democrats deliberately and relentlessly ripped a swath through the ranks of GOP officials, campaign operatives, and policy advisers. Many soon drowned in legal bills as they defended themselves against charges that were as phony as counterfeit cash. These evil, sadistic Democrats knew this and carried on anyway.
Oncological-grade liar Adam Schiff of California metastasized from the U.S. House to the Senate by constantly claiming to have ”ample evidence“ of Trump’s supposed collusion with the Kremlin. Schiff never, ever presented this vaunted “evidence.”
In fact, no evidence ever supported these synthetic Russia-collusion charges.
The FBI, House Intelligence Committee, Senate Intelligence Committee, Mueller, and Durham investigations all found that Russia unsuccessfully attempted to influence the 2016 election, but Trump and his team did not assist this skullduggery.
According to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s April 2019 report: “The Special Counsel confirmed that the Russian government sponsored efforts to illegally interfere with the 2016 presidential election but did not find that the Trump campaign or other Americans colluded in those schemes.”
Brennan, Clapper, Clinton, Comey, Obama, Schiff, and everyone behind these acts of pure, chunky-style evil should be under the DOJ’s microscopes. They should be indicted, tried, and—if convicted—sentenced to long, miserable federal prison terms.
The attorneys within this cabal should be disbarred. Their law licenses should be shredded on live TV.
Never mind the vacuous cliches about “holding people to account.” This grave situation deserves severe consequences for misconduct and imprisonment for felony violations.
If justice still exists in this country, the conspirators behind one of the most egregious crimes against the American people soon will be lulled to sleep nightly by the sounds of steel bars clanging shut.
