The Lying, Cheating ProgDems Think They Have Set Up President Trump for a 2020 Defeat; Do not Let It Happen

WE KNOW WHO THE PROGDEMS ARE AND WHAT THE RADICALIZED DEMOCRAT PARTY WANTS. The question is how to respond and get rid of their anti-America grip on American politics. • • • PELOSI TRIES TO CANCEL THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS. Why? It's so obvious that only the mainstream propagandist media don't see it. Speaker Pelosi sees it -- the SOTU address by President Trump as a BIG sounding board for his reasonable position that the Republic needs secure borders. The details are trifles, really -- a wall of concrete or steel or some other material yet to be brought into the argument. BUT, Pelosi knows, just as every other American knows, that High Tech solutions like scanners and drones simply will not do the job. So, why give the President a chance to tell America the truth about border security in a Prime Time TV format? Just shut down the SOTU address in the same way she and Senator Schumer have shut down the country. No surrender from the President on the need for a wall?? Okay, says Pelosi, no SOTU. • Speaker Nancy Pelosi -- we need to keep reminding ourselves that she is from California -- wrote a letter to President Trump, saying : “Sadly, given the security concerns and unless government reopens this week, I suggest that we work together to determine another suitable date after government has reopened for this address or for you to consider delivering your State of the Union address in writing to the Congress on January 29.” RIGHT, Nancy -- deliver it in writing -- can you, Madame Speaker, in your wildest dreams imagine President Donald Trump agreeing to such an amatueurish ploy??? • The Department of Homeland Security pushed back on Pelosi’s warnings. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said on Twitter : “The Department of Homeland Security and the US Secret Service are fully prepared to support and secure the State of the Union.” More than 80 percent of the Secret Service workforce is considered exempted or excepted and is expected to work during the shutdown, according to a DHS planning document published last month. BUT, a Pelosi spokesman said a furloughed DHS official contacted the Speaker’s office to air “serious concerns” that the agency is insufficiently staffed to ensure the State of the Union’s security needs are met. • Republicans got it right -- they accused Pelosi and the Democrats of using scare tactics to score political points during the shutdown -- and deny Trump a national platform to advance the case for his signature border wall. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise encouraged the president to keep his plans to visit the Capitol on January 29, even if Pelosi rescinds the invitation to open the House floor. Scalise said : “We'll find a place for him to speak. I think it's important that the country hear what he has to say.” White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said there have been “no real discussions” about alternative venues for the address and the focus is still on delivering it before Congress. • In the midst of Pelosi's SOTU positioning, Fox News reported that there is dissension among Democrats about the wall. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, Pelosi's longtime right hand man in the House, broke from other top Democrats and acknowledged Wednesday on Fox News' "Special Report with Bret Baier" that border walls "obviously" work in some areas, and rejected suggestions that barriers should be removed where they already exist. In addition, the second most powerful House Democrat said the question of whether to fund President Trump's proposed border wall is "not an issue of morality." • But as late as Wednesday, Speaker Pelosi was sticking to her Fake guns -- being a good ProgDem she would never stick to real guns. Pelosi told reporters Wednesday night that she “doesn’t care” if the Secret Service said it was prepared to appropriately secure the State of the Union address despite the partial government shutdown. Instead, she stood firm in her resolve to delay the January 29 event until the government completely re-opens. BUT, Secretary Neilsen again tweeted : "Department of Homeland Security and the US Secret Service are fully prepared to support and secure the State of the Union. We thank the Service for their mission focus and dedication and for all they do each day to secure our homeland." AND, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise called Democrats’ security concerns nonsense, telling reporters on Wednesday : “There are no security concerns that have been raised and that has nothing to do with that. Ironically, it seems like she’s only concerned about security when it’s a State of the Union that will expose what this fight is all about.” A Secret Service official told the Daily Caller that Speaker Pelosi "never contacted us for a security plan before canceling the Trump speech." • Nice try, Nancy, but, sorry, no horseshoe. • Republican Kentucky Senator Rand Paul offered the BEST potential solution to the State of the Union problem -- President Donald Trump bypasses the House of Representatives entirely and delivers the speech from the Senate floor. Senator Paul tweeted on Thursday morning : “Senator McConnell is in charge of the Senate. If Mrs. Pelosi refuses to allow the president to deliver the State of the Union in the House, I propose we move it to the Senate and make it happen!” GOT IT, Senator Paul !! • • • AND IN LATE BREAKING NEWS -- President Trump on Thursday abruptly denied military aircraft to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for a foreign trip just minutes before the congressional delegation was set to depart, in a stunning response to her call to delay the State of the Union address amid the government shutdown. Fox News reported what it called "a curt letter," in which President Trump said her trip has been “postponed” : “Due to the Shutdown, I am sorry to inform you that your trip to Brussels, Egypt, and Afghanistan has been postponed. We will reschedule this seven-day excursion when the Shutdown is over. In light of the 800,000 great American workers not receiving pay, I am sure you would agree that postponing this public relations event is totally appropriate. I also feel that, during this period, it would be better if you were in Washington negotiating with me and joining the Strong Border Security movement to end the Shutdown. Obviously, if you would like to make your journey by flying commercial, that would certainly be your prerogative.” • According to Fox sources, the President pulled the plug on her aircraft as she was about to leave for her overseas trip. Her congressional delegation military aircraft was slated to leave at 3 p.m. ET. A senior White House official also told Fox News that all congressional delegation travel by military aircraft is now postponed. A source also told Fox News that when moving to cancel Thursday's flight, the White House reasoned that the trip would keep Pelosi out of the country beyond next Tuesday night -- when the next government pay period would occur. "If she had gone on this trip she would have guaranteed that 800,000 federal workers would not receive their second paycheck because she would not have been here to negotiate any kind of deal," a senior White House official said Thursday. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said it was "completely appropriate." The hot-and-cold Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called it "inappropriate. One sophomoric response does not deserve another. Speaker Pelosi’s threat to cancel the State of the Union is very irresponsible and blatantly political," he tweeted. • Speaker Pelosi stood by that call earlier Thursday : “The date of the State of the Union is not a sacred date. It’s not constitutionally required. It’s not the President’s birthday. It’s just a date we agreed to,” Pelosi told reporters during a press conference on Capitol Hill Thursday. “That’s why I said to the President, if you don’t open up government, let’s discuss a mutually agreeable date.” • Fox News reported that it was told : "Capitol Hill security officials got an emergency call from the Pentagon canceling the overseas trip due to the shutdown. Amid mounting confusion, Fox News is told there were furious calls going back and forth among Capitol Hill, State, Pentagon and White House offices. The bus later returned to the Capitol, where members filed back into the building." • • • THE FBI'S FAKE TRUMP INVESTIGATION NEWS CONTINUES TO DRIBBLE OUT. Bruce Ohr congressional testimony is key. Details about Obama's Justice Department Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr's meetings with Christopher Steele, the author of the salacious anti-Trump Russia Dossier were shared by Ohr with his large circle of contacts inside the Justice Department -- including senior FBI leadership and officials now assigned to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. That is what Fox News' Catherine Herridge has learned. Herridge says Ohr gave a closed-door transcribed interview last August sharing details of his 2016 meetings with British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who wrote / compiled the Dossier later used to secure a FISA surveillance warrant for a Trump campaign aide. In a series of questions about his meetings with Steele -- including one on July 30, 2016 -- and about with whom he shared the information, Fox News has confirmed the Ohr transcript stated: “Andy McCabe, yes and met with him and Lisa Page and provided information to him. I subsequently met with Lisa Page, Peter Strzok, and eventually (an FBI agent). And I also provided this information to people in the criminal division specifically Bruce Swartz, Zainab Ahmad, Andrew Weissmann.” • It seems that Ohr's continuing contact with Steele after Steele was fired by the FBI was not at all a secret hideden from DOJ or FBI top brass. • The Daily Caller reported on Tuesday, quoting the transcript of Ohr's testimony, that : "The FBI ended its relationship with Trump-Russia Dossier author Christopher Steele in late 2016, but the bureau kept taking information from him through DOJ official Bruce Ohr, Ohr revealed in congressional testimony. The FBI had renewed interest in connecting with Steele after President Donald Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, according to Ohr’s testimony. Steele was previously paid by both the FBI and the Democratic National Committee through Fusion GPS. DOJ official Bruce Ohr laid out efforts to influence the DOJ by Christopher Steele, a former British spy being paid by the Democratic National Committee via the opposition research firm Fusion GPS. The FBI terminated Steele as a source in late 2016, reportedly for his contacts with the media, but he continued to funnel information to the bureau through Ohr. But, the Daily Caller states : "On May 9, 2017, President Trump fired Comey, which concerned FBI leaders. Comey has since been sharply critical of the President. On May 15, Ohr and Steele discussed 're-engaging' with the FBI at the bureau’s request, which Steele agreed to, according to the testimony, which was obtained by The Epoch Times. Q: “So you have asked him will he re-engage with the FBI?” Ohr: “Yes.” Q: “And he says: ‘Talked with my wife; I’m in.’ You say: ‘Thanks. We’ll let them know and we will follow up.’” Ohr: “Yes.” Q: “‘Thanks again. I chatted with my colleagues and can give you an update when you have a minute.’ What was the update about? Was it about that subject?” Ohr: “Yes.” : “So that all happens on May 15?” Ohr: “Yes.” The FBI appeared to know that Ohr was funneling them information from a terminated source, since in May 2017, six months after he was terminated, it asked Ohr to have Steele contact the bureau directly. Q: “So there was a coordination? If they’re reaching out to you, then there is obviously this channel that has been at least unofficially acknowledged.” Ohr: “On one of the occasions when I talked to the FBI to tell them I got a call from Chris Steele, they said, ‘oh, next time you talk with him, can you ask him if he’s willing to meet with us?’ And I conveyed that back to Chris Steele. Q: “After he had been terminated—” Ohr: “Correct.” • The Daily Caller says ; "After the appointment of Robert Mueller, Steele apparently also used Ohr as an intermediary with the Special Counsel Office. “We are frustrated with how long this re-engagement with the Bureau and Mueller is taking. There are some new perishable operational opportunities we do not want to miss out on,” Steele told Ohr in a text obtained by TheHill and The Epoch Times. He also sent a text to Ohr on November 18, 2017: “I am presuming you’ve heard nothing back from your [special counsel] colleagues on the issue you kindly put to them for me. We have heard nothing from them either. To say this is disappointing would be an understatement.” The Monday Epoch Times report unearthed the previously-concealed testimony from Ohr, a former associate deputy attorney general, given to Congress on Aug. 28, 2018. Q: “So Chris Steele was working for Fusion GPS and the FBI at the same time?” Ohr: “Yes, I believe so.” Q: “Was he being paid by both?” Ohr: “I believe so.” • As part of his earlier relationship with the FBI, Steele, a former British spy, gave the Dossier to FBI agent Michael Gaeta in Rome in July 2016. But he was then met with silence. Bur, as the Daily Caller points out : "Steele was funded by Fusion GPS, a firm run by former reporter Glenn Simpson that was working on behalf of the DNC. In late 2015, Fusion had begun paying Ohr’s wife, Nellie Ohr, as a Russia analyst on a contractual basis. But Bruce Ohr’s testimony suggests that Fusion hadn’t engaged with Nellie for a few months -- until soon after the unsatisfactory meeting with the FBI agent in Rome, when Steele and Simpson also wanted to meet with the husband. Q: “It had been 2 years prior before you -- since you had most recently talked to Chris Steele before he wants to meet you on July 30, a couple years prior before Glenn Simpson wants to meet you on August 22. Same pattern with your wife?” Ohr: “I can’t -- because I don’t know the years. I’m guessing it’s -- again, I shouldn’t guess, but I know it was not close in time, in terms of weeks or months.” Ohr was assigned an FBI handler, agent Joe Pientka, according to his testimony. Ohr would receive materials from Steele and give them to Pientka, who would give them to Peter Strzok, the lead agent on the Russia-Trump investigation, who has since been fired for bias. In December 2016, Ohr received a memory stick from Steele that he believed contained the Dossier and gave it to the FBI. Ohr -- whose official duties had little overlap with the probe -- acknowledged that his inserting himself into the chain of evidence in an FBI investigation was unprecedented for him. Q: “Can you think of other instances in your career since 1991 where you made yourself part of a chain of custody?” Ohr: “Not -- I don’t remember getting any other sticks or anything like that, so...” Q: “And you can’t think of a single case where you inserted yourself into a chain of custody other than this one?” Ohr: “That’s right.” • Ohr also testified that he revealed his wife’s financial relationship with Fusion GPS to his FBI handler, acknowledging it was a source of potential bias. But records show that Ohr never obtained a conflict of interest waiver from his superiors, nor did he disclose his wife’s pay from Fusion GPS on annual ethics forms. • The FBI documented 12 meetings with Ohr in which he relayed information from Steele. But Ohr said there were also more meetings as recent as late November 2017, for which a record was absent, according to The Epoch Times : Q: “On page 2 of the letter it lists 12 separate dates and 302s where the FBI interviewed you indicating the first interview took place on November 22, 2016, and the last one on May 15, 2017. Is this list of interviews and dates generally consistent with your recollection?” Ohr: “Yes. The caveat I would say is, I continued to have some conversations with Christopher Steele after May 15, 2017. I’ve reported all of those to the FBI, but I do not see any 302s relating to those conversations.” " • • • IT IS IMPORTANT WHO OHR BRIEFED. The facts are spelled out by TheHill that : "The then-No. 4 Department of Justice (DOJ) official briefed both senior FBI and DOJ officials in summer 2016 about Christopher Steele’s Russia Dossier, explicitly cautioning that the British intelligence operative’s work was opposition research connected to Hillary Clinton’s campaign and might be biased. Ohr’s briefings, in July and August 2016, included the deputy director of the FBI, a top lawyer for then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and a Justice official who later would become the top deputy to special counsel Robert Mueller. • At the time, Ohr was the associate attorney general. Yet his warnings about political bias were pointedly omitted weeks later from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant that the FBI obtained from a federal court, granting it permission to spy on whether the Trump campaign was colluding with Russia to hijack the 2016 presidential election. Ohr’s activities, chronicled in handwritten notes and congressional testimony...provide the most damning evidence to date that FBI and DOJ officials may have misled federal judges in October 2016 in their zeal to obtain the warrant targeting Trump advisor Carter Page just weeks before Election Day. • TheHill is clear : "...FBI and Justice lawyers had no need to speculate : He [Ohr] explicitly warned them in a series of contacts, beginning July 31, 2016, that Steele expressed biased against Trump and was working on a project connected to the Clinton campaign. Ohr had firsthand knowledge about the motive and the client : He had just met with Steele on July 30, 2016, and Ohr’s wife, Nellie, worked for Fusion GPS, the same firm employing Steele. 'I certainly told the FBI that Fusion GPS was working with, doing opposition research on Donald Trump,' Ohr told congressional investigators, adding that he warned the FBI that Steele expressed bias during their conversations. 'I provided information to the FBI when I thought Christopher Steele was, as I said, desperate that Trump not be elected,' he added. 'So, yes, of course I provided that to the FBI....when I provided it to the FBI, I tried to be clear that this is source information, I don’t know how reliable it is. You’re going to have to check it out and be aware.' Ohr went further, saying he disclosed to FBI agents that his wife and Steele were working for the same firm and that it was conducting the Trump-Russia research project at the behest of Trump’s Democratic rival, the Clinton campaign. 'These guys were hired by somebody relating to, who’s related to the Clinton campaign and be aware,' Ohr told Congress, explaining what he warned the bureau." • Perkins Coie, the law firm that represented both the DNC and the Clinton campaign during the 2016 election, belatedly admitted it paid Fusion GPS for Steele’s work on behalf of candidate Hillary and the DNCy and disguised the payments as legal bills when, in fact, it was opposition research. When asked if he knew of any connection between the Steele dossier and the DNC, Ohr responded that he believed the project was really connected to the Clinton campaign. 'I didn’t know they were employed by the DNC but I certainly said yes that they were working for, you know, they were somehow working, associated with the Clinton campaign,' he answered. 'I also told the FBI that my wife worked for Fusion GPS or was a contractor for GPS, Fusion GPS.' ” • TheHill states : "Ohr divulged his first contact with the FBI was on July 31, 2016, when he reached out to then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and FBI attorney Lisa Page. He then was referred to the agents working Russia counterintelligence, including Peter Strzok, the now-fired agent who played a central role in starting the Trump collusion probe. But Ohr’s contacts about the Steele Dossier weren’t limited to the FBI. He said in August 2016 -- nearly two months before the FISA warrant was issued -- that he was asked to conduct a briefing for senior Justice officials. Those he briefed included Andrew Weissmann, then the head of DOJ’s fraud section; Bruce Swartz, longtime head of DOJ’s international operations, and Zainab Ahmad, an accomplished terrorism prosecutor who, at the time, was assigned to work with Lynch as a senior counselor. Ahmad and Weissmann would go on to work for Mueller, the special prosecutor overseeing the Russia probe. • TheHill goes on to criticize House Democrats : "When Republicans, in early 2018, first questioned Ohr’s connections to Steele, Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee sought to minimize the connection, insisting he only worked as an informer for the FBI after Steele was fired by the FBI in November 2016. The memo from Representative Adam Schiff’s team claimed that Ohr’s contacts with the FBI only began 'weeks after the election and more than a month after the Court approved the initial FISA application.' BUT, Ohr’s testimony now debunks that claim, making clear he started talking to FBI and DOJ officials well before the FISA warrant or election had occurred. • Furthermore, says The Hill : "...his detailed answers provide a damning rebuttal to the FBI’s portrayal of the Steele material. In fact, the FBI did have derogatory information on Steele : Ohr explicitly told the FBI that Steele was desperate to defeat the man he was investigating and was biased. And the FBI knew the motive of the client and did not have to speculate : Ohr told agents the Democratic nominee’s campaign was connected to the research designed to harm Trump’s election chances. Such omissions are, by definition, an abuse of the FISA system." • TheHill's explicit rebuttal of the Democrat position about Bruce Ohr comes form John Solomon, an award-winning investigative journalist whose work has exposed US and FBI intelligence failures before the Sept. 11 attacks, and numerous cases of political corruption. Solomon is TheHill’s executive vice president for video. He finishes his blockbuster analysis witht his : "Don’t take my word for it. Fired FBI Director James Comey acknowledged it himself when he testified last month that the FISA court relies on an honor system, in which the FBI is expected to divulge exculpatory evidence to the judges. 'We certainly consider it our obligation, because of our trust relationship with federal judges, to present evidence that would paint a materially different picture of what we're presenting,' Comey testified on December 7, 2018. 'You want to present to the judge reviewing your application a complete picture of the evidence, both its flaws and its strengths.' Comey claims he didn't know about Ohr's contacts with Steele, even though his top deputy, McCabe, got the first contact. But none of that absolves his FBI, or the DOJ for that matter, from failing to divulge essential and exculpatory information from Ohr to the FISA court." • • • IS AG NOMINEE BILL BARR ANOTHER SWAMP CREATURE? Fox News reported this week that : "During the confirmation hearing Tuesday, Senator John Cornyn questioned AG nominee Bill Barr about James Comey’s unprecedented move to usurp the DOJ and exonerate Hillary Clinton in a press conference during the 2016 election. Cornyn got Bill Barr to admit that Comey and Lynch ‘botched’ the Clinton email investigation, but Barr was still cautious about his criticism of Comey. Mr. Barr said Comey’s usurpation of the DOJ was 'wrong' but he was also quick to praise the leaker and liar. Senator Cornyn pressed Bill Barr and pointed out that if the Attorney General cannot perform his or her duties due to a conflict of interest, then it would get deferred to the Deputy AG, not the FBI Director. Barr conceded and said, 'I thought it was very strange, but I think later it became clearer -- to the extent there’s anything clear about it that I don’t think AG Lynch had essentially delegated that authority to the Director.' Barr then defended Comey and gushed over how gifted he is. 'I think Jim Comey -- as I’ve said is an extremely gifted man who has served the country with distinction in many roles.' Mr. Barr did promise Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham that he would 'look into what happened in 2016,' if he were to be confirmed, but it’s hard to believe he will clean up the DOJ after his nonstop praise of Mueller, Rosenstein and Comey -- all corrupt coup plotters." • Is there any lawyer who could be approved by the Senate who would truly serve as an impartial attorney general who is looking out for the branch of government whose legal affairs he is charged to oversee?? I begin to believe that the answer is "NO." President Trump will never have a real Attorney General who honestly represents him as the head of the executive branch of the federal government. • • • MUELLER SHOULD TREAD LIGHTLY. Blacheyedpolitics wrote on Tuesday : "President Trump and his supporters have long argued that the Mueller investigation is an illegitimate political hit job. Mueller and his Democrat prosecutors are working on behalf of the swamp to remove Trump from office and undo the results of the 2016 election. Mueller’s defenders in the media swear up and down that this isn’t the case. But that position is no longer tenable. Rudy Giuliani went on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program and dropped a bombshell....Giuliani was referring to a recent Department of Justice Inspector General report where the IG reported not being able to obtain all the text messages sent between anti-Trump FBI agents Peter Strzok and Lisa Page....Page was worried Trump would win the election and Strzok described the Russian probe as 'an insurance policy' and that the FBI would 'stop' Trump. These bombshell text messages led investigators to wonder what else they communicated about regarding the Russia probe and if there was more evidence Strzok’s political bias against Trump infected the investigation." • BUT, says blackeyedpolitics : "Unfortunately," Mueller and his team helped stymie that search for the truth. Page and Strzok initially worked for Mueller, but the special counsel was forced to cut them loose after their text messages surfaced. However, Mueller was not about to reveal all their secrets. His office WIPED their phones clean of 19,000 text messages. They claimed it was just restoring the phones to the factory settings before they were given over to other agents." • That is a criminal offense, although Hillary Clinton & Hacks got away with erasing an entire server full of emails -- so maybe Mueller feels perfectly safe. • • • DEAR READERS, last Sunday, Jonathan Karl told This Week with George Stephanopoulos that Mueller's report will be "anti-climatic." American Thinker says : "This can be interpreted as a leak that Mueller will stop short of attempting to frame Trump for collusion or obstruction. It shouldn't be surprising that Mueller won't "produce" a report that the Democrats and NeverTrumps can use to impeach Trump. Determining whether Trump colluded or obstructed, which was always absurd on its face, was never the purpose of this special counsel. Mueller was brought in by Rosenstein to put the new administration on the defensive and prevent Trump from uncovering the depth and the breadth of the wrongdoing by the Obama administration and Hillary Clinton. In that effort, he has largely succeeded. No one is investigating whether the DNC was in fact hacked or if its emails were leaked internally. The hundreds of millions collected by Clinton Foundations from foreign interests while Hillary was Secretary of State...is just water under the bridge. Whether Joseph Mifsud...and others were working for CIA head John Brennan and interacted with the Trump campaign peddling Russia-related pretexts may never be known. These and a hundred other Spygate questions appear destined to go unanswered." • All of this makes it pretty obvious that the last thing Mueller wants is further scrutiny of this whole sordid affair that impeachment proceedings could bring. as American Thinker says : "Those proceedings might actually steel the spines of establishment Republicans to defend their party's President and maybe even go on the offense." • What Mueller and his DOJ and congressional Democrat handlers have done is provide the Democrat candidate in 2020 with lots of fodder to use against President Trump. That most of the fodder is lies, criminal misuse of public office by the FBI and DOJ, and political skullduggery orchestrated by Hillary Clinton and her campaign will be irrelevant. The lies will be spread and embellished by the lapdog propagandist media, and the entire Radical Elite Left will be smugly singing the same song -- impeach Trump -- or at least kick him out of office. • It is, as so many political commentators have warned us, the greatest political scandal of modern times. Again, American Thinker : "The lasting harm Obama, Clinton, and the Deep State have done to our political discourse and this President's ability to deliver on his America First agenda is incalculable. Voters sent Trump to Washington to secure our borders, rebalance our disastrous trade agreements, keep us out of foreign wars, and improve relations with nuclear-armed Russia. While putting its own interests above the nation's, the Swamp has done everything in its power to sabotage those efforts, and it appears that the Swamp Creatures may never be held to account." • Nobody could make this sickening stuff up, Mueller, included. But, what he and the Swamp can do is try to bury it and use their cynically concocted lies to destroy President Trump and the Republic at the 2020 ballot box. Americans must not let that happen.
