That's one of the questions posed in an interesting Lou Dobbs segment with Stephen Miller. The Youtube title is, Stephen Miller: The Democrat Party Is a Socialist Marxist Party. To be honest, although Miller does say that, I think sundance captures the tenor of the interview a bit better: Stephen Miller: “The Deep State is Terrified of Being Exposed”. Is that what we're seeing now, at the end of an almost non-stop news day that saw the whole Ukraine Hoax unraveling before our eyes?
Dobbs starts by setting the "backdrop":
Suddenly we are hearing from Schumer and Pelosi and several others that they want to negotiate with the President and are ready to sit down and talk about USMCA, gun control--you name it, apparently. They seem to think they suddenly have the upper hand with the President. Your reaction?
My take is far more in line with Miller's. I think the Dems are dealing from a position of weakness--and they finally know it. They realize that impeachment madness is a loser and are trying to do a volte face move, a remake of themselves, to try to persuade the American people that--after three years of doing NOTHING--they can now be reasonable. Come, let us reason together! They just want to get along. Miller's response?
Well, I do agree that Senate Democrats are probably terrified about the cliff they're being driven over by Pelosi and the radical election-nullifying Democrats in the House of Representatives. And so I don't doubt that's the case. But let's also be clear about what the even deeper fear is. The deepest fear of all is that the Deep State is terrified of being exposed, Lou. What we have right now is a situation in which the Attorney General of the United States and John Durham are gonna get to the bottom of what really happened in 2016. And we're gonna find out what went on. What was done to try and sabotage this president and try to sabotage this administration. And THAT has the Deep State and their Democrat allies TERRIFIED.
If Miller is right--and I think he is--then Trump is in control.
It's a nine and a half minute interview in total:
I love that guy Stephen Miller. I want to know what he thinks of his old boss Jeff Sessions. They seem to be very different personality types.
ReplyDeleteThat was my instant reaction, too.
DeleteThe Deep State wants to coerce the Trump Administration (which now includes the Barr led DOJ) into canceling any investigations into Obama era corruption and criminality. Pelosi and Schumer want to sit down in a negotiation with Trump and say . . . we will end the impeachment proceedings if you call off the Barr-Durham investigations.
ReplyDeleteThe Deep State has been blackmailing politicians for decades and they naturally assume that they can blackmail Trump when they acquire the right type of leverage. Epstein was a prime source of blackmail evidence and his demise has seriously cramped their style. The impending impeachment show is really just a mass media temper tantrum disguised as an official act of Congress. And the whole thing may seem comically absurd, but it's doing real harm to the nation by destroying social trust.
Problem: they're just now realizing how bad a position they're in to do any of that. They've accomplished a Trifecta with their latest stumble: focus attention on their corrupt Ukraine connections; focus attention on Deep State criminality; gave the already hugely successful Trump fund raising a steroidal boost. Maybe they call the donkeys for a reason.
DeleteI agree with you guys, Miller is terrific. And he's only 34 years old!
ReplyDeleteIf you can bear to, watch Miller take down the insufferable Chris Wallace on Sunday:

Very enjoyable.
Among Miller's many obvious strengths, I think, is that he is telling the truth. A bit like Trump in that respect.
Notwithstanding Trump's reputation for playing fast and loose with the facts, as drummed into us by the MSM, I have come to appreciate his fundamental honesty. I think Miller has this, too. I bet they get along well.
I think that quality--fundamental honesty about the things that affect people's lives--is what has forged a bond between Trump and his voters. Even people who are troubled voting for someone who has lived the life he has are won over by that.
