In their nonstop propaganda campaign against Trump, Dems have been faced with the necessity of finding frontmen whose credibility will be accepted by the American public. They've ended upo going through several represenative groups, as the credibility fails have been all too apparent.
The first try was to push forward a cabal of managers and lawyers on the 7th Floor of FBIHQ, in cahoots with career bureaucrat lawyers at DoJ. That tactic seemed to gain traction for a while, but began unraveling with the Strzok/Page texts and was definitively put to rest with the Mueller Dossier.
The second try featured, improbably, a shift to politicians. The public was asked to put their trust in Dem Reps from deepest Blue California and New York. That was always going to be a hard sell. Now with the Amazon WaPo awarding Four Pinocchios to Shifty Adam, that version has almost certainly outlived any possible usefulness.
Now Steve Sailer has identified the Third-Times-The-Charm effort that Dems are betting on to fool most of the people all of the time: Spies.
Basically, the Dems appear to have held a meeting to brainstorm the question of, Who will people trust? Some genius posed the question: If people won't trust anonymous CIA operatives, who will they trust? And, remarkably, this approach seems to have gained acceptance. Thus, the Dems appear ready to put forward, well, not exactly put forward, but they will pin their credibility on anonymous spies. If you ask me, that's gonna be another major fail.
Sailer:
Second Masked Man Says First Masked Man Is Trustworthy
From the New York Times:
2nd Official Weighs Filing Complaint Over Trump’s Ukraine Dealings
A second intelligence official alarmed by President Trump’s attempts to pressure Ukraine is considering filing his own formal complaint.
The official, who corroborated the allegations of the original whistle-blower, has more direct information about the events.
And if you can’t trust nameless, faceless members of the intelligence community, you must hate democracy.
UPDATE: Right on cue, from Zerohedge:
Spooks Turned Spox: US Media Now Filled With Former Intelligence Agents
Note, "... more direct ...". That is a far cry from direct, first hand information. Ya know, like really being there or actually listening.
ReplyDeleteWhat a long winded NYT article that essentially is still claiming hearsay, but using the word direct with a qualifier.
Good grief.

Can’t wait for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th “whistleblowers” to come forward a la Ramirez and Swetnick. Maybe Avenatti can join the legal team?

Good on him. (bit.ly/2Vgkyq6)
I like the Avenatti comment!
DeleteTwo comments:
ReplyDelete(1) It is hard to find a partisan without a past, and it is almost impossible to scrub the past any longer;
(2) It can't be stressed enough the importance of the leaked Strzok/Page texts- I don't know who did that, but it was probably the most important part of the take down of the Mueller inquisition.
Agree. It was huge.
DeleteIsn't it unbelievable that these two high-ranking FBI individuals were so stupid as to send all these incriminating texts?
DeleteWho in their right mind would do that?
I would almost say these two almost single-handedly destroyed their side, or at least started the ball rolling.
I think you could say that they turned the tide of public opinion at a pretty early stage. That was huge.
DeleteThe arrogance of unearned power. That is why the "Intelligence Community", as currently composed, must be dismantled and the earth, especially Langley, salted. Then perhaps something non-toxic to Americanism might be erected to fulfill legitimate need.

"The official, who corroborated the allegations of the original whistle-blower, has more direct information about the events."
ReplyDeleteOf course he does, now that it's all out there. Like forging a "winning" Powerball ticket a week after the drawing.
More likely the individual who originally passed speculative bits and pieces to "WB" that subsequently proved to be false. But now he can fine tune from the transcript and other details that have been publicly disclosed.
Meanwhile, the phony "All the President's Men" re-enactment continues in the House of non-Representatives so the Demoncrats will have "Watergate" visuals and out-of-context quotes to play in 2020.
Yeah, it's be hard to have less direct information than the hearsay the 'blower' was blabbing about...
DeleteAnd a third comment- I predict there is no actual new whistleblower, or the the new whistleblower is the guy the old whistleblower was fronting for because the old whistleblower actually had a less partisan past that could harm damage the allegations. In other words, the new whistleblower will turn out to be one of John Brennan's direct hires and reports.
ReplyDeleteThe Dems need to issue a player program in order to keep all the cast members straight, otherwise no one is going to be able to follow the plot of this production.
ReplyDeleteMy understanding is it's not supposed to be a farce...
Looks a bit like improv right now, and irrestistibly turning toward farce.
DeleteThis is what happens when you approach an active beehive. Chaos.
ReplyDeleteIf the Barr/Durham investigation is uncovering corruption by Obama/Brennan/Clapper/Lynch/Rice/Biden/etc. and their THOUSANDS of FBI/CIA soldiers, the soldiers must now protect the hive, attacking everybody in sight.
I look forward to the inevitable beehive-burning, swamp-draining phase (2021-2024).
