Will It Finally Have to Be Federal Judges Who Save the Constitutional Republic for America ?

THE DEEP STATE STRUGGLES AS NEWS KEEPS COMING ABOUT GENERAL FLYNN. His pursuit by President Obama's Comey FBI and Mueller & Gang turns up more and more examples of their corruption. • • • WAS McCABE GETTING EVEN WITH FLYNN? American Thinker's Daniel John Sobieski thinks so. He wrote on Saturday : "As I noted here on June 30, 2017 Michael Flynn and Andrew McCabe have a past that predates the Trump presidency, one that provides ample motivation for the perjury trap that McCabe and James Comey set up after Flynn’s illegal unmasking. McCabe had a personal grudge against Flynn and the perjury trap was his revenge. It explains why McCabe would entrap Flynn in a seemingly harmless interview about contacts with Flynn’s Russian counterparts, advising Flynn he didn’t need to bring a lawyer along to complicate things....The unmasking of Flynn in the Russia probe may indeed be retaliation against Flynn for perceived political sins, but not for what and by whom you might think, if reports from investigative watchdog site Circa News are correct. As Sara A. Carter and John Solomon of Circa News report : 'The FBI launched a criminal probe against former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn two years after the retired Army general roiled the bureau’s leadership by intervening on behalf of a decorated counterterrorism agent who accused now-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe and other top officials of sexual discrimination, according to documents and interviews. Flynn’s intervention on behalf of Supervisory Special Agent Robyn Gritz was highly unusual, and included a letter in 2014 on his official Pentagon stationary, a public interview in 2015 supporting Gritz’s case and an offer to testify on her behalf. His offer put him as a hostile witness in a case against McCabe, who was soaring through the bureau’s leadership ranks. The FBI sought to block Flynn’s support for the agent, asking a federal administrative law judge in May 2014 to keep Flynn and others from becoming a witness in her Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) case, memos obtained by Circa show. Two years later, the FBI opened its inquiry of Flynn...McCabe eventually became the bureau’s No. 2 executive and emerged as a central player in the FBI’s Russia election tampering investigation, putting him in a position to impact the criminal inquiry against Flynn. Three FBI employees told Circa they personally witnessed McCabe make disparaging remarks about Flynn before and during the time the retired Army general emerged as a figure in the Russia case.' In legal circles, that’s called 'motive.'....Flynn became a key Trump supporter after accusing President Obama of facilitating the rise of ISIS through his policies and inaction. McCabe is a Democratic loyalist whose wife campaigned for state office in Virginia as a Democrat with heavy Democratic financial support. In fact, McCabe’s efforts on behalf of his wife became the subject of multiple federal probes : 'Acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, a central player in the Russia election case, is the focus of three separate federal administrative inquiries into allegations about his behavior as a senior bureau executive, according to documents and interviews. The allegations being reviewed range from sexual discrimination to improper political activity, the documents show...Circa reported Monday that former supervisory special agent Robyn Gritz, a decorated counterterrorism agent, has filed a sexual discrimination and retaliation complaint that names McCabe and other top FBI officials...Gritz also filed a complaint against McCabe with the main federal whistleblower agency in April, alleging social media photos she found show he campaigned for his wife’s Virginia state senate race in violation of the Hatch Act...In addition, the Justice Department Inspector General is investigating allegations from Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley that McCabe may not have properly disclosed campaign payments to his wife on his ethics report and should have recused himself from Hillary Clinton's email case.' " • Sobieski summarizes : "We have a former Deputy FBI Director, Andrew McCabe, campaigning for his wife who receives huge sums of money from the Democratic Party of Clinton political ally Terry McAuliffe. After Clinton blames Russia for her election loss, Flynn becomes a target of an FBI probe in which his identity is illegally unmasked. He was a character witness on behalf of one of McCabe’s accusers. Was the largesse to Mrs. McCabe a quid for a future quo? Is all this just the result of McCabe’s lust for personal revenge?" • This, which could be part of John Solomon's mysterious DIA document we talked about yesterday, is just one more reason to seriously question the good faith behind the pursuit of General Flynn. • • • THE FBI LIED ABOUT ITS CONNECTION TO CHRISTOPHER STEELE. The Daily Caller wrote on Saturday that : "The FBI has released a summary that James Comey used in a briefing with President-Elect Donald Trump and President Obama regarding the Steele Dossier. The document is sure to grab the attention of Republicans who have accused the FBI of relying too heavily on the unverified Dossier for its investigation of possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government. The summary shows that the FBI claimed Steele was working for 'private clients,' when he was actually working for the DNC and Clinton campaign. It also noted that Steele relied on “identified and unidentified subsources” to fill out the Dossier." • BUT, the FBI's two-page document sheds light on what former FBI Director James Comey briefed to President-Elect Trump and President Obama regarding the infamous Steele Dossier. The document, first reported by Politico, asserts that Christopher Steele, the former British spy who compiled the Dossier, was working 'on behalf of private clients' in his investigation of Trump’s possible ties to Russia. His Dossier contained 'highly politically sensitive information,' according to the summary. Steele, who is not identified by name in the heavily-redacted document, is also described as collecting information 'from a layered network of identified and unidentified subsources, some of which has been corroborated in the past.' • The Comey briefing was a bunch of half-truths and lies. Steele was ultimately working for the Clinton campaign and DNC, not a private client. And Steele’s use of some 'unidentified' sources could raise questions about his collection methods. A former MI6 officer, Steele was hired in June 2016 to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia. His immediate employer was Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm that was working for Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented the Clinton campaign and the DNC. Steele, who is unable to travel to Russia because of his past work there, had to rely on intermediaries to obtain information about Trump and his advisors." • We must note that the applications for the FISA warrants state that Steele was working for someone who opposed Trump’s campaign, but did not identify Fusion GPS, the Clinton team or DNC. We should also note that Comey and the Democrats argue that it was only important for FISA judges to know that the information about Trump was coming from someone who opposed his campaign. • the FACTS about what Comey told Trump during their January 6, 2017, meeting at Trump Tower are given by the Daily Caller : "Comey visited Trump with three other intelligence community chiefs, but stayed behind to speak with the President-Elect about Steele’s report. Comey has said that he told Trump about Steele’s claim that the Kremlin had blackmail material on Trump. The Dossier claims that the Russian government has video of Trump with prostitutes at a Moscow hotel in 2013. Trump has vehemently denied it, and no evidence has come forward supporting the allegation. Trump was only in Moscow for one night during the trip in question. People with him on the trip have said that he had a very narrow window of opportunity to engage in the conduct alleged by Steele because he was in his hotel room for only around five hours. The FBI document also reveals that Steele had been compensated by the bureau 'for previous reporting over the past three years.' The summary also noted that Steele’s Dossier 'appears to have been acquired by multiple Western press organizations starting in October.' Steele and Fusion GPS met at least as early as September 2016 with reporters from several news outlets....The FBI officially cut ties with Steele on November 1, 2016, over his contacts with the press. He was a source for an October 31, 2016, article published by Mother Jones. The FBI continued receiving information from Steele, however, through Justice Department official Bruce Ohr. Ohr, whose wife worked for Fusion GPS, met numerous times with Steele after the 2016 election. He briefed the FBI on his interactions with Steele at least a dozen times." • When are these corrupt FBI Deep Staters going to be prosecuted ?? And what about Hillary?? • • • HILLARY FACES COURT ORDER TO DELIVER EMAIL ANSWERS. TeaParty.org reports that : "On Friday morning Hillary Clinton responded to a court order forced by Judicial Watch to answer more questions about the setting up of her private server. Judicial Watch appeared in a DC federal court last month on a motion to compel more testimony from Hillary Clinton as well as to make public video recordings of depositions of top Clinton aides such as Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills. The court ruled that Hillary Clinton must answer more questions about the setting up of her private server under oath. As expected, Hillary Clinton responded to the court order with her usual arrogance -- she said she set up the server for 'convenience,' and had 'no role' in the process setting up the server. Clinton also played stupid and said she knows nothing about the equipment, how it was created or who else had accounts on the system. • Judicial Watch said of her answers : "The court ordered Clinton to 'Describe the creation of the clintonemail.com domain name and the decision to set the domain up on the existing server, the date it was decided to create the domain and set it up on the existing server, who made those decisions, and when the domain became operational on the existing server. Clinton answered under oath : 'Subject to and without waiving the forgoing objections, Secretary Clinton answers as follows : 'As Secretary Clinton prepared in late 2008/early 2009 to serve as Secretary of State, she was aware that President Clinton’s office had set up an e-mail system, but she had no role in this process. Secretary Clinton knew that President Clinton’s staff had recently upgraded that system. Secretary Clinton does not know what equipment that system used, how it was created, who decided that the system needed to be upgraded, or who else had accounts on the system. Secretary Clinton believes that one of the President’s aides, Justin Cooper, set up the system. Secretary Clinton decided to use a clintonemail.com account on the system for the purpose of convenience. Secretary Clinton recalls that the clintonemail.com account was created in early 2009. Although Secretary Clinton does not have specific knowledge of the details of the creation of the account, the 'domain,' or the “domain name,” her best understanding is that Mr. Cooper set it up.' " • This answer is unacceptable, JW President Tom Fitton tweeted : "Breaking : Hillary Clinton files new email answers under oath per court order. Says she used private email system for 'convenience.' Not credible. Background : @JudicialWatch https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press- releases/judicial-watch-federal-court-ordered-hillary-clinton-to-answer-additional-email-questions-under-oath/ " Fitton added : “Hillary Clinton’s assertion that she used a separate email system as a matter of ‘convenience’ is simply not credible and is belied by evidence and testimony. We intend to pursue additional questions with Mrs. Clinton.” • What will the federal judge make of Hillary's under-oath answer? Facts revealed thus far show that Hillary Clinton conducted official business on a unsecure non-government server so she could hide her Clinton Foundation pay-to-play while she was Secretary of State. Facts show that Bill Clinton received nearly $50 million for speeches while his wife Hillary was the head of the Department of State. And, facts show that thousands of classified emails were discovered on Hillary’s private server, a server we know was compromised, yet she still has not been indicted. Hillary Clinton continues to get away with her crimes because the Deep State has created a two-tiered justice system -- one for Trump supporters and another for Democrat-Deep State Swamp Creatures. • FEDERAL JUDGE 'SHOCKED' AND 'DUMBFOUNDED' BY FBI ACTIONS IN HILLARY PROBE, SAYS STATE DEPARTMENT LIED TO COVER FOR CLINTONS. Federal District Court Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, in October accused career State Department officials of lying and signing "clearly false" affidavits to derail a series of lawsuits seeking information about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's private email server and her handling of the 2012 terrorist attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Judge Lamberth also said he was "shocked" and "dumbfounded" when he learned that FBI had granted immunity to former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills during its investigation into the use of Clinton's server, according to a court transcript of his remarks : "I had myself found that Cheryl Mills had committed perjury and lied under oath in a published opinion I had issued in a Judicial Watch case where I found her unworthy of belief, and I was quite shocked to find out she had been given immunity in -- by the Justice Department in the Hillary Clinton email case," Lamberth said during a hearing. • The Department of Justice Inspector General (IG), Michael Horowitz, noted in a bombshell report in June that it was "inconsistent with typical investigative strategy" for the FBI to allow Mills to sit in during the agency's interview of Clinton during the email probe, given that classified information traveled through Mills' personal email account. "There are serious potential ramifications when one witness attends another witness' interview," the IG wrote. • Judicial Watch initially sued the State Department in 2014, seeking information about the response to the Benghazi attack after the government didn't respond to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Other parallel lawsuits by Judicial Watch are probing issues like Clinton's server, whose existence was revealed during the course of the litigation. The State Department had immediately moved to dismiss Judicial Watch's first lawsuit on a motion for summary judgment, saying in an affidavit that it had conducted a search of all potentially relevant emails in its possession and provided them. The affidavit noted that some more documents and emails could be forthcoming. BUT, Lamberth denied the request to dismiss the lawsuit at the time -- and [in October], he said he was happy he did, charging that State Department officials had intentionally misled him because other key documents, including those on Clinton's email server, had not in fact been produced : "It was clear to me that at the time that I ruled initially, that false statements were made to me by career State Department officials, and it became more clear through discovery that the information that I was provided was clearly false regarding the adequacy of the search and this -- what we now know turned out to be the Secretary’s email system. I don’t know the details of what kind of IG inquiry there was into why these career officials at the State Department would have filed false affidavits with me. I don’t know the details of why the Justice Department lawyers did not know false affidavits were being filed with me, but I was very relieved that I did not accept them and that I allowed limited discovery into what had happened." • DOUBLE STANDARDS ABOUND IN THE DEEP STATE FBI / DOJ. Brooke Singman wrote for Fox News last Tuesday : "Nearly every Trump campaign associate indicted in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s sprawling Russia probe has been charged with making false statements. But in a striking contrast, raising questions about a possible double standard, not a single person interviewed during the FBI’s Hillary Clinton email investigation was hit with false statement charges -- even though investigators believed some witnesses were untruthful....Of the six Trump campaign associates charged in Mueller’s long investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, five have been charged with violating USC 1001 -- making false statements to FBI agents. Those charged include : former Trump campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos; former White House national security advisor Michael Flynn; former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen; and former associates of Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort....But according to the report released in June by Justice Department IG Michael Horowitz on the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email investigation, federal prosecutors and FBI agents told the independent watchdog that witnesses in the probe lied during interviews, but that agents and prosecutors did not pursue false statements charges. The report revealed one exchange in February 2016 between an agent and another FBI employee not assigned to the investigation. The employee asked the agent how an interview with an unnamed witness went : “Awesome. Lied his ass off. Went from never inside the scif [sensitive compartmented information facility] at res, to looked in when it was being constructed, to removed the trash twice, to troubleshot the secure fax with HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton] a couple times, to everytime there was a secure fax with HRC. Ridic.” • The IG report specifically referenced former Clinton technology aide Paul Combetta, who allegedly used the computer program “Bleachbit” to destroy thousands of Clinton’s email records, despite an order from Congress to preserve them : “'With respect to Combetta, we found his actions in deleting Clinton’s emails in violation of a Congressional subpoena and preservation order and then lying about it to the FBI to be particularly serious,' the inspector general wrote, noting that they asked prosecutors why they 'chose to grant him immunity instead of charging him with obstruction of justice…or making false statements.' The report revealed that the supervisory special agent, or SSA, in the Clinton case told the inspector general that 'he believed Combetta should have been charged with false statements for lying multiple times' but also said that Combetta’s 'later immunized testimony was truthful and that he was ‘fine’ with the immunity agreement.' But Horowitz wrote in the report that he received 'mixed testimony' over the potential Combetta charges." • And, there is the recent infamous case of Robert Mueller giving Jerome Corsi the choice between lying to receive a lesser sentence or not lying and having "the book" thrown at him. Corsi's friend and colleague, Roger Stone says Mueller has examined "every aspect of my life." • • • IS IT ANY WONDER AMERICANS AND PRESIDENT TRUMP CALL THE MUELLER PROBE A WITCH HUNT? On Sunday, American Thinker published an article by Mark Wauck, retired FBI agent who had over two decades of experience in counterintelligence matters. Wauck states : "Back on March 20, 2017, then FBI Director Comey testified before [the Nunes House Committee on Intelligence] HPSCI regarding Russian 'active measures' during the 2016 election. Chairman Nunes characterized the committee's work as concerned with Russian 'active measures' during the 2016 presidential election, but the Democrats stated that it was all about 'collusion' between the Trump campaign and 'the Russians.' In his testimony Comey confirmed for the committee that the FBI's investigation, which we now know as Crossfire Hurricane and which began in late July 2016, was concerned with 'any coordination between people associated with the Trump campaign and the Russians.'....This is important, because in Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Rod Rosenstein's letter of May 17, 2017, in which he appointed Robert Mueller as Special Counsel (SC), Rosenstein's authorization closely tracks Comey's testimony : "The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the investigation confirmed by then-FBI Director James B. Comey in testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on March 20, 2017, including any links and/or coordination between the Russian government and individuals associated with the campaign of Donald Trump;"....There are several important bits of information that we need to take special note of in this. First, Mueller is not starting up a new investigation -- he's taking over an already existing investigation, the same one that was confirmed by Comey two months earlier. Second, and very importantly, Mueller's investigation is not authorized as a general investigation into Russian 'active measures' (i.e., interference, meddling) in the 2016 campaign but instead is rather narrowly focused on 'coordination between people associated with the Trump campaign and the Russians.' In other words, Rosenstein did not authorize Mueller to investigate coordination between people associated with the Clinton campaign and the Russians -- only the Trump campaign....Finally we learn exactly what kind of investigation Crossfire Hurricane was : it was an 'enterprise counterintelligence investigation...[of] Trump campaign associates.' One of those associates was Carter Page and the other three are easily guessed from the context. What exactly is an 'Enterprise CI Investigation'?...The relevant FBI and DoJ documents that explain what an 'enterprise' investigation is are available to the public: FBI Domestic Investigations And Operations Guide (DIOG) (Section 8) and The Attorney General's Guidelines for Domestic FBI Operations (pp. 23-24). An 'enterprise' is simply 'an organization or group.' Naturally, an enterprise can be a highly structured, formal organization such as a presidential campaign. On the other hand, an enterprise can also be an informal grouping of individuals -- possibly without any formal organizational affiliation or possibly affiliated with some formal organization. So, for example : A group of four Americans associated with the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump, even though not constituting a legal entity and acting for purposes other than those of the Trump campaign, might in certain circumstances be regarded as forming an 'enterprise' of their own. What would those circumstances be? DIOG 8.2 Purpose, Scope and Definitions, explains that : 'An enterprise is a group of persons associated together for a common purpose of engaging in a course of conduct. The term 'enterprise' includes any partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity, and any union or group of individuals associated in fact, although not a legal entity....Here we have four Americans -- call them Michael Flynn, Paul Manafort, Carter Page, and George Papadopoulos -- all associated in one way or another with the Trump presidential campaign. If they should 'associate together for a common purpose,' for example, to conspire with the Russian government to engage in criminal activity to secure the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States, why, they will constitute an enterprise. They would be 'associated in fact,' 'functioning together as a continuing unit,' 'engaged in a common purpose.' What we would need to do, as investigators, to start an investigation on their enterprise would be, in the words of the AGG, to establish : 'an articulable factual basis...that reasonably indicates that the group...may be...engaged in planning or preparation' of their scheme.' " • Wauck states that, unless there is unrevealed evidence not known ot the public as yet : " I will flatly assert that, absent source information, the FBI would not have been able to come up with an 'articulable factual basis' for launching an enterprise investigation in this situation. So, imagine the good fortune of the FBI. It turned out that they had a trusted and, supposedly, reliable source of information on Russia : Christopher Steele. He happened to be working for the Clinton campaign, doing opposition research as a contractor for Glenn Simpson's Fusion GPS, but the FBI was willing to use his reports (later compiled into his famous "Dossier") and to repeatedly vouch for his reliability....The opening of an enterprise investigation covers the FBI's tail legally. If questioned on why they appear to be targeting other individuals in the Trump campaign beyond the original four, they can respond that they're simply trying to identify all the members who are 'associated in fact.' It might take some imagination, but creative investigators will find justifications to start looking at more and more people in the campaign. And that takes us back to Comey's claim that the FBI wasn't investigating the Trump campaign or Trump himself. Technically, that's true. I don't expect anyone will ever discover an FBI file captioned 'Trump Presidential Campaign,' or 'Donald J. Trump, aka, The Donald.' But no one who has perused the text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page can doubt who the real target of Crossfire Hurricane was. Nor can anyone who has perused the list of Mueller's prosecutors -- chock full of donors to the Clinton campaign -- entertain any doubt as to their target. Everything points in the same direction : Trump. But this enterprise investigation device allows Mueller's witchhunt to continue, even after three of the original four targets have pleaded to totally unrelated charges and the case against Carter Page has become little more than a sick joke. They've been replaced by Jerome Corsi, Roger Stone, Donald Trump Jr., maybe Jared Kushner." • Wauck moves on to Rosenstein : "The Rosenstein letter assumes the validity of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation's predication. But we have witnessed numerous FBI officials acknowledge that the main source of the predication -- the Steele Dossier -- had never been verified in any of its details. To rely solely on the supposed reliability of Steele as a source is, as I have argued, unwarranted in general. It is even less warranted when we bear in mind that Steele was doing opposition research for the Clinton campaign, as an employee of Glenn Simpson's Fusion GPS. For the FBI to state, as it did in its Carter Page FISA application (Section III. B), that Simpson never told Steele what the motivation was for Simpson's research into Trump's 'ties to Russia' is simply insulting to anyone's intelligence and part of a clear fraud on the FISA court. At a minimum, Rosenstein should have offered some statement in his letter certifying that he had reviewed the relevant investigative documents and had found upon review that they presented 'an articulable factual basis' that would warrant hobbling the new administration in this way. Rosenstein's failure to provide such assurances leads inevitably to the suspicion that hobbling the new administration was exactly what he had in view -- a suspicion that is only strengthened by the recent revelations concerning Rosenstein's meetings with Andrew McCabe regarding measures designed to actually remove Trump as President. One wonders whether such issues were discussed before the authorization of the SC, as they surely have been since." • Wauck asks what is to be done? : "An FBI investigation is not a forever thing; the plug can be pulled, for cause. The case agent should be constantly reviewing his findings to be sure that the investigation is still warranted, and the prosecutor who is assigned to the case should be doing the same thing. If they realize at some point that the original predication has turned out to be incorrect, then that's the point at which the case should be terminated. The case should not be continued as simply an investigation of a person, in which new theories are constantly being tried out in the hopes of making something stick. It appears to me transparently clear that that point has long since passed with Crossfire Hurricane. After more than two years the evidence that the original predication was bogus -- a political hit job dressed up as a 'narrative' that I call the Russia Hoax -- seems overwhelming. Further proof can be found in the shameful convictions that Mueller has obtained against Flynn and Papadopoulos, which amount to the criminal equivalent of jaywalking and have nothing to do with Russia. The conviction of Manafort, while in a different category, is also totally unrelated to the predication for Crossfire Hurricane. As for the monstrous injustice that has been perpetrated against Carter Page, words fail me. Where, now, is the 'enterprise'? The true scandal in all this is the perversion of our justice system. President Trump's nominee for Attorney General, William P. Barr, has in public remarks extending at least a year back, expressed criticism of Mueller's handling of the Special Counsel's office in its hiring, as well as support for some of President Trump's expressed views -- if not the Trumpian style. He is certainly aware of the difficult political situation he would be stepping into. The hope is that he will enter office with a determination to recover for the FBI and DoJ the respect and reputation that they show no signs of regaining under the leadership they have had for the past two years. If Barr is to accomplish this, he will need to take the Special Counsel bull by the horns and conduct a searching inquiry into the origins and legitimacy of Crossfire Hurricane, respecting no person or institution in pursuit of the public good." • Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Friday that special counsel Robert Mueller's final report "will blur the line between crimes and sins and write a report designed to put" President Trump "in a bad light." Dershowitz told Fox News he believes Mueller "won’t be able to find any specific violations of federal criminal statutes" unless "vague laws" around obstruction of justice are stretched "beyond recognition. I don’t see any crimes. Collusion itself is not a crime. Using information given by Russia to Wikileaks would not be a crime unless the campaign participated with Wikileaks in the hacking itself. There’s no evidence to support that. So what I’m afraid is going to happen is this special counsel whose job it is only to find crimes, not sins, only crimes, will blur the line between crimes and sins and write a report designed to put the President in a bad light," he stated. • • • DEAR READERS, American Thinker's Rick Hayes got it right on December 8 : "In the current political arena, conservatives are facing off against leftist Democrats in a blood contest in which the current rules favor only the left. It's more than just a lopsided playing field; it's a contest where conservatives are forbidden to score and are the only side charged with penalties. And yet conservatives continue to enter these contests expecting to be treated fairly. A lie is only a lie if it emanates from the lips of a conservative. Otherwise, it's called a “misstatement” leading to no repercussions. Immunity agreements are granted only to those close to Democrats under investigation. Otherwise, everyone associated with a conservative under investigation is blackmailed with career-ending, bankruptcy producing charges. Even as evidence mounts that the entire Russian collusion investigation was a fiasco, the liberal propaganda networks shout Trump's guilt. It mattered not that the whole debacle relied on manufactured evidence paid for by Hillary Clinton. Serious crimes by Obama and Clinton such as Benghazi, the VA, Fast and Furious, and IRS abuse that took both the rights and the lives of actual American citizens were covered as if they were of little importance. With all the congressional hearings and contempt of Congress charges, not a single Democrat lost his job." • Rick Hayes has a great piece of advice for conservatives : "The politicized propaganda media in this country is the bodyguard of the forces on the left. They are the protector for all Democrats and lunatic liberals who are allowed to say or do just about anything without repercussions or accountability as the media will mercilessly pounce on anyone challenging or questioning the absurdity gushing like Niagara Falls from leftist windbags. Conservatives currently have no such protector, and so the public is bombarded night after night with false propaganda hearing only the left's side of the story. So conservatives must change the way they deal with a unified leftist front, and one such way is to have a united front themselves. Conservatives must also take the political game as seriously as the leftists do. In this country, conservatives still outnumber liberals, but you would never know it by the voting tallies. Investments must be made by conservatives in the news reporting business, not to counter leftist propaganda with conservative propaganda, but to have a chance to explain all sides of a story clearly. The adage 'The best defense is a good offense' applies to politics as well and conservatives would be wise to initiate steps to retake back ground lost over the past years." • This would exclude the hypocritical neo-conservative junk opinions like that given to Fox News by Andrew C. McCarthy on December 9 titled "Why Trump is likely to be indicted by Manhattan US Attorney." Really, Mr. McCarthy -- "likely" based on what evidence -- there is NO EVIDENCE. • It would exclude Chris Christie volunteering that "It’s possible President Trump could be indicted based off the language federal prosecutors are using." Christie said Cohen’s word alone wasn’t enough to indict Trump. Prosecutors would need additional corroborating evidence -- and now it sounds like they have it." Really Governor Christie -- name one piece of corroborating evidence. There is NO EVIDENCE. • We ask -- When, O Lord, will these suicidal Republicans and conservatives get hold of the fact that they are in a war with an enemy determined to destroy them and America's constitutional Republic? When will they begin to act like warriors instead of meekly pleading the enemy's case to a propagandist media eager to turn their own words against them? Who is actually going to save the Republic and an innocent President Trump? It seems more and more likely that it will have to be the federal judges who still read and follow the Constitution.
