The Hunter Becomes the Hunted;
In response to Trump’s demand, Rod Rosenstein has asked the DOJ inspector general to review the possible infiltration of the Trump campaign. The hunters have themselves become the hunted. For better or worse, two major American political factions are trying to jail each other. The outcome of their struggle may determine not only who occupies the White House, but what future role the intelligence agencies play in public life.
The specifics of the individual accusations may be fake, but the struggle over the control of the bureaucracy is frighteningly real. Concern over the independence of powerful bureaucracies has long been paramount for a reason. The biggest problem with weaponizing intelligence agencies is it CREATES a pathway for the foreign takeover of the system. If a once hostile power takes over the White House and that president corrupts the agencies, an unfettered secret police will have the ability to remain in power indefinitely. […]
Trump, by officially demanding an answer into whether the previous administration engaged in political spying, is effectively accusing them of cheating at cards. As everybody knows, once you ask this question at a table, the surface game stops and a deeper game begins.

Just grab a coffee, and read them both.
it’s a war…but my bet is on the president. like no other…
King vs ‘deposed’ King
If Obama believes a Netflix gig is going to save his (half-white) skin … then he just doesn’t understand the game. Flapping his lips ain’t gonna erase his blatant treachery.
BTW … Andrew McCarthy is the most lucid thinker and commenter on the subject of the In-justice of our Justice Dept. by the Deep State Obama-Clintonistas. It is well worth the ‘coffee read’ … to receive the patent logic expressed by McCarthy. Thanks for the link, Kate.
“There needs to be a full investigation to find out if anyone in the Obama administration ever had any ties to America.”
“My judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”
The wait to see Clinton, Clapper, Brennan and a few other led off in cuffs is frustrating. Lots of swamp and deep state sewage to wade through.
Agreed. However, I remain hopeful that MY President’s team are … ‘letting nature take its course’ … in this case ‘nature’ – is the mechanisms of government, legal procedures, and political timing.
Hey Ken (Kulak).
Agreed. But you forgot to mention Barry O in your list.
He did more to create this trouble than any other treasonous person I can think of.
Yes, I did forget to mention him. He probably orchestrated all of this skulduggery, but the chances of a former president, no matter how criminal, being led off in cuffs is very remote.
Hussein will go down in history as a traitor and the most corrupt Pres. ever… that will be his punishment… I would like to see the arrogant corrupt prick led off in handcuffs too, but I have my doubts as to whether that will happen because, half black. Having said that, while I believe all roads lead back to the Hussein WH I have serious doubts that Hussein has the brains for such a coup, he’s always struck me as an actor of sorts, a bit of a dull bulb, a hectoring affirmative actioned dope smoker. His school records would probably tell half the story, but he keeps those hidden from scrutiny and the corrupt Media is okay with that. How did a dummy like Hussein get into Occidental, Columbia and foreign funded Harvard ?Hussein was groomed for the job, but by whom. The people that controlled Hussein are the real dangers to the Republic, the Wall St. gangsters and foreign interests that owned him, and God knows who else. One thing is for sure, the Hussein/Clinton gang were so effing arrogant that they thought they could get away with anything… Thank God for the wisdom of the American people, if they hadn’t had the wisdom to vote for Pres. Trump the Clinton gang would be in charge, the country would be lost and we wouldn’t know about any of this stunning level of corruption.

Trump Russian Collusion because he asked Putin to show the media Clinton’s 33,000 emails.
Yesterday I watched Hillary Clinton stand in front of Yale Law students, put on a Russian Hat, and then she said “If you cant beat them Join Them.” (Russians)

Hillary is a Russian operative that is mad because she spent billions of dollars to win an election, and lost.
Trump opened up a Free Twitter Account, and won.
Atktinson’s chronology is a must read, linked to in the PJ article. Here’s another contribution on DeMarxists dirty tricks. Not so funny things when amoral people anoint themselves above morality.
“If this was orchestrated without the express knowledge of Mr. Obama, then it reveals just how blatantly he instructed by example the weaponizing of the entire federal government to carry out his low, dishonest and unjust ideology. By any means necessary, one might say. Only instead of being driving by visions of justice, these people were driven by visions of undying power.”
If this conspiracy was carried out at the express direction of Mr. Obama or other high officials in his administration, then they belong in jail. From unmasking of political opponents, to leaking their names to the press, to killing legitimate investigations, to launching politically motivated witch hunts, a racket of this scale could not have been carried out without some major juice and cover at the top levels of the Department of Justice, FBI and the White House.”
The rogue henchmen carrying out the dirty work, as always, presented as perfect, decent and most honest little Boy Scouts like former FBI Director James B. Comey.”
Most of the FBI today must be horrified by the degree to which Mr. Comey and his goon squad handed over the entire mission of the FBI to political hacks inside the Obama administration. Still, there were far too many inside the bureau willing to junk their oath in the name of some kind of higher “justice.” Which is just another way of saying “selling their soul for partisan gain.”
When Donald Trump was running for president, establishment Republicans and Democrats alike ran around thumping their chests feigning outrage that Mr. Trump would not be capable of respecting the Constitution.”
At that time, the Obama administration was spying on Mr. Trump and his campaign and carrying out the most extensive and brazen undercover espionage-war campaign against political opponents that we have ever seen.”
All the while nary a peep from these same smarmy swamp creatures as Mr. Obama rolled the constitution into joints so he and his political Choom Gang could smoke bales of weed.”

Feels like a calculated move by Barry O’bama, likely advised by his legal team, which I understand has grown dramatically in recent years, to get back in the spotlight as this starts to come down with some light- hearted fun. Hope they will kick it off with Barry and Michelle’s new DIY skit, You Didn’t Build That.
Curse of Trump strikes again.
Whatever you accuse trump of, it comes back to bite you three times over.
Hope the popcorn lasts.
That’s because virtually everything the DeMarxist accuse Trump of is of what they’re guilty.
Pure political projection with a healthy helping of obfuscation and diversion.
I suspect it’s coming to an end; how far the purge can go is anyone’s guess, but several DeMarxists seditionist should be very worried including Clapper, Comey, Brennan, Yates, McCabe, Strozk, Rosenstein, Weinstein, Steele, both Clintons, possibly some FISA court and other judges, the two Orr’s, many others no doubt, and very possibly, but doubtfully imho, Obama himself, though only the most politically naïve would think him innocent, given his love of surveillance and narcissistic need for control and not doing things “by the book.”
Gotta love it when liars questions others’ honesty. Comey, like Clapper, are trying to justify these actions:
“Facts matter. The FBI’s use of Confidential Human Sources (the actual term) is tightly regulated and essential to protecting the country. Attacks on the FBI and lying about its work will do lasting damage to our country. How will Republicans explain this to their grandchildren?” (Comey tweet)
Maybe that they burned a bunch of statist doofuses who “richly” deserved it?
Not a chance folks of justifying this nonsense. Unless some saviour evidence shows up, they are done like dinner.
No way they talk their way out of this.
I didn’t say criminally, but maybe it’s there time to face aggressive investigators.
I’m sure they’re all invited to Congress for a nice talk real soon. Don’t want to? Here’s a subpoena. The 5th follows.
But they’re not bad people, it’s just Congress are liars and poopyheads too like Trump, saying mean things about the nation, er them. So facts matter, except for the omitted ones, again for the good of the nation.
Uh huh. Go on.
They didn’t do anything “wrong.” Good luck with that; you’re going to need it, along with good lawyers.
I hope a big load of crap falls on every one of them, especially the FBI mearers for their hit job on Flynn, a man who served in the military and thus was unable to secure patronage wealth to hire legions of lawyers to defend himself, so had to fold to their totalitarian will to save his family, while losing his home and reputation.
That one rankles me big time, and for that they can all burn. So “Impeach 45.” Works for me.
