The Democratic Party is systematically attempting to destroy our republic. They began by protecting from prosecution a presidential candidate who had clearly broken the law. Then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had a private, unsecured server in a closet which she used to send and receive e-mails, hundreds of them we now know were classified e-mails, to everyone including President Obama. Yet, the president, in apparent shock, disavowed all knowledge of the server over which he and Clinton had frequently corresponded. When the Democratic candidate had her Blackberries subpoenaed to see if classified e-mails had been sent to that illegal server, she ordered her staff to destroy them with hammers. Her server was wiped of thousands of e-mails and then eventually chemically washed to prevent any of them from being retrieved. Her husband had a private meeting with Attorney General Lorretta Lynch whose Justice Department was investigating Mrs. Clinton, during which they “discussed their grandchildren.” Then the Director of the FBI went on television to announce that candidate Clinton had been careless but not criminal. No charges would be filed. Mishandling top secret documents, destroying evidence, repeatedly lying about it even to the FBI? These are not criminal acts? Ask General Flynn who is in prison for not lying to the FBI but saying that he did to prevent Mueller’s team from destroying his son. But then, Flynn is not a Democrat.
The Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee worked through the company Fusion GPS to hire a former British spy (a British citizen) to dig up dirt on then candidate Trump from his Russian contacts. What he came up with and put into the famous Steele Dossier, was either totally false or unverifiable. Then they implored the Ukraine to supply dirt on one of Trump’s campaign managers. The DOJ, the FBI, the CIA were all involved in attempting to trap various Trump campaign members into providing proof of an illicit Trump/Putin effort to control the election, something they knew they were creating from thin air. They involved the Australian government and perhaps also the Italian government in their plans. As part of this grand scheme, the Obama administration illegally “unmasked” (revealed) the names of American citizens whose names came up in their listening to phone calls by foreign diplomats. Steele, who hated Donald Trump, leaked parts of his dossier to a news organization. Then the FBI used the dossier to apply for a FISA warrant to listen in on phone calls by a member of the Republican presidential campaign. The news article, which had also come from the creator of the Steele dossier, was used as independent corroborating evidence to support the FISA requests, all four of them.
So the Democratic presidential candidate knew what the Republican presidential candidate was doing. This was worse than Watergate where the intent was just to steal some paperwork, because this was ongoing and because it was an abuse of several supposedly non-political arms of the government, using them to try to defeat one political party’s candidate.
When President Trump won against all odds, the Democrats went crazy. They tried to convince members of the Electoral College to change their votes. They challenged vote tallies in several states. They tried to retroactively eliminate the Electoral College since Hillary Clinton had won 2.7 million more votes than Donald Trump. Ironically, Judicial Watch just settled a lawsuit against the state of California in which the state agreed to remove 1.9 million fraudulent registrations from its voters’ list. Just how many of Clinton’s frequently touted 2.7 million votes were legitimate votes, one has to wonder?
Then, things warmed up even more. There were riots in Washington D. C. on Inauguration Day in which masked, black-clothed thugs left a several block trail of mayhem that did about $100,000 worth of damage and threatened the safety of both police and innocent bystanders.
Chants were heard around the country of “He’s not my president” and soon a group of actors putting on Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, “assassinated” a Brutus wearing a Trump mask and a comedian posed in a picture with a bloodied “head” of president Trump. There were numerous calls to impeach the president, but no specific reason for doing so other than “Orange Man Bad!” The President’s every policy was challenged in court and usually struck down by a liberal judge, only to be reinstated by the Supreme Court or an appeals court. President Trump was called a racist, a white-supremacist (with a daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren who are Jewish?????) a xenophobe, a homophobe and everything other bad thing they could come up with. Soon these labels were extended to all those who had voted for him as well.
Rep. Maxine Waters encouraged people to run Trump administration members and other conservatives out of restaurants, telling them weren’t welcome anywhere, and for a few months that is exactly what happened. Even recently, people leaving a Trump rally had their Make America Great Again hats torn from their heads and burned in the street, and some of the Trump supporters were physically assaulted.
FBI Director James Comey, whom everyone including Democrats were angry with, met with President Trump to detail the many “crimes” of General Flynn. What he didn’t tell the President was that General Flynn had already been cleared of all of these crimes. So, when the President, feeling sorry for the General who had given so much of his life for his country, asked Comey to go easy on him, Comey made notes of that exchange. Then when President Trump fired Comey upon Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s advice, Comey leaked that conversation to a friend who passed it to the press in order to give Rosenstein a reason to appoint a Special Counsel to look into possible obstruction of justice and the Trump/Russia Collusion myth that the Clinton campaign and DNC had begun before the election.
For the next two plus years, the Mueller team, filled with Democratic donors and Hillary Clinton’s former lawyer, interviewed witnesses, looked at millions of e-mails and other documents from the White House, indicted General Flynn for lying to the FBI, which he hadn’t done, indicted Paul Manafort for failing to register as an agent of the Ukraine years before he became a part of the Trump team, meaninglessly indicted numerous Russians for interfering in the election (including one Russian company that was not in existence in 2016!), and finally concluded that there was no proof of collusion between the Russians and the Trump team. The obstruction of justice point was moot since it is hard to obstruct justice when there is no crime for which justice must be sought. No chance for impeachment here.
In the meantime, the Democrats had also tried to use Trump’s lawyer to provide them with impeachment material, but that failed. They tried to use a porn star who claimed she had had an affair with Trump years prior and whose silence candidate Trump had purchased with his own money during the campaign. That failed. Then a “whistleblower” went to Rep. Adam Schiff with second hand information about a phone call between President Trump and President Zelensky of the Ukraine, insisting that President Trump had tried to blackmail Zelensky into getting dirt on the Bidens by threatening to withhold $400 million in military aid. Schiff lined him up with a lawyer to carefully word the complaint to make it seem serious and legitimate, and it was sent off to the Inspector General. The IG pointed out that the “whistleblower” was a registered Democrat, had worked for a Democratic presidential candidate (whom we later found out was Joe Biden himself), and had a third, undisclosed area of political conflict. The Department of Justice found nothing wrong in the phone call.
But Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi were off and running. Schiff first lied to the country, saying he and his staff had had no contact with the “whistleblower” before the complaint went to the IG and became public, blithely ignoring the fact that the individual had come to him first. Then, although the President released the transcript of the phone call, President Zelensky of the Ukraine insists he never felt threatened or pressured, President Trump didn’t even mention the aid in the course of the call, and the first two witnesses called before Schiff’s “Impeachment Inquiry” both said the President never did what he is being accused of doing, Schiff and his cronies battle on. The hearings are being held in a basement secure room, all cell phones are confiscated at the door, witnesses are now being “deposed” rather than questioned which means that no Republican on the committee can repeat what they are hearing without being referred to the House ethics committee. Only the Democrats are allowed to release snippets of testimony which make the President sound bad. And the bulk of the witnesses who are being interviewed now have no first-hand knowledge of the phone call in question. They are simply disgruntled current and former State Department employees who don’t agree with the President’s America first agenda. Republicans on the committee are not even allowed to have copies of the documents that are provided to the committee or transcripts of the testimonies. If they wish to read them, they must have a Democrat at their side while they do so. No following of precedent, no vote to impeach by the full House, no one to defend the president in the chamber of horrors. No rule of law.
Coup attempt 750.
In Canada, Justin Trudeau was re-elected although his opponents got more of the popular vote than he did. Because they have a multiple party system, his liberal party did not win enough seats in Parliament to run the government. They must find a party to join with. They obviously will not want to work with the Conservative party which won more seats in the election, so they are left with the Socialist party which lost seats, or the Quebecois Party which gained 32 seats and is largely conservative and very pro-“French as the official language of Quebec Province.” Still, Trudeau will form his government, there will be no riots, the Conservative Party will not label themselves “The Resistance” and refuse to work with Trudeau, there will be no attempted coups to overthrow his government by deep state officials who disagree with his policies. Canadians are like we used to be. Civilized.
