After four years on his trail, the authors' inescapable conclusion is that Trump is an asset of the Russian government, whether he knows it or not.
I don't think there's any other way to interpret Pelosi's remarks:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi: "All roads seem to lead to Putin with the president." https://t.co/JsAo4rT8TM pic.twitter.com/52iWUykcLx— ABC News (@ABC) October 15, 2019
It's a shockingly bankrupt strategy--both morally and strategically. Morally bankrupt, because it IS morally bankrupt to consciously and cynically attempt to dupe the public in this way with patently false conspiracy theories. It's a bankrupt strategy because it's certain to backfire.
The metaphor that comes to mind regarding roads Nancy Pelosi is traveling is the Hershey Highway? In other words, she's full of it...
ReplyDeleteTheir story was a bust, their narrative has failed, so the Dems now revert to the Big Lie repeated ad nauseum: "Whether he knows it or not, Trump is a Russian asset..."
But it's Republican spouting conspiracy theories about the Bidens and Ukraine!!

ReplyDeleteSir this is ACME strategy guaranteed to produce "results".
Coyote will be along shortly to so demonstrate...
DeleteIt boils down to criminalizing thought. So now a particular position on foreign policy can be prosecuted.
ReplyDeleteSo much for the voters running the country. Of course, they're going to find out (I hope) just out of touch they are with the majority.
It's a layered thing. The top layer masquerades as legalistic concerns, but just below that are policy differences (Russia v. Ukraine and many other matters that are involved in that). However, those policy differences hide big money interests which, in turn overlay major ideological agendas (Soros).
DeleteMueller & Co tried like mad and failed to pin something on Trump without evidence. I think Schiff looked at that and thought, "Amateurs!" He's now taken on the role of prosecutor and is trying like mad to show those amateurs how it's done.
ReplyDeleteThe result is our newest comedy-drama, "Special Counsel 2.0: The Mulligan," starring Schiff as Mueller, Pelosi as Rosenstein, and with special guest The Whistleblower as Christine Blasey-Ford. Not a perfect fit, but pretty close. Like the rest of you, I don't see it ending any prettier for this sorry remake than it did for the original.
As Sundance would say "It's a big club and you ain't in it."
ReplyDeleteI was amazed of the amount of people the FBI spied on in the newest FISA report. Over 3 million.
ReplyDeleteRob S
3 million isn't necessarily the number of people--it's the number of searches. Could be multiple searches on the same person. Still, lots. I'm surprised that they continued this through 2018. Part of it was pure sloppiness and lack of controls, but an unforgiveably large amount was undoubtedly deliberate. So, what's gonna happen to Wray? Any consequences? Is getting rid of him to politically risky for now?
DeleteMaybe in future years it'd be easier to report the number of Americans that the FBI DIDN'T spy on.
