For the past several years, most of us who
have been following the seditious Deep State activities against President Trump
and many of his close associates have been eagerly awaiting a reckoning. A
presidential campaign, then administration, was spied upon by the previous
administration, using fabricated domestic and foreign intelligence, with the
willing assistance of the mainstream media.
President Trump has been accused of being a Russian agent, a Putin
stooge, and a traitor by high level executives of ex-President Obama’s justice
and intelligence agencies. A two-year $30 million special counsel
investigation, that we were told would unearth “mountains of evidence” of
Trump-Russia collusion, was a big dud, exonerating the president of his
supposed treason.
Meanwhile these accusations and investigations have ruined the
reputations and finances of many Trump associates. Now it’s on to so-called
“impeachment inquiry” hearings, attempting to remove a duly elected president
based on third-hand hearsay and disagreement with foreign policy approaches
that are totally under the purview of the president, not the unelected
administrative State Department apparatchiks.
We are told by the mysterious and enigmatic Q, a military
intelligence insider group feeding bits and pieces to the public about what
might be going on behind the curtain, that a “storm is coming.” Pain has been
promised for wrongdoers at some nebulous future point in time. We are now
living in “the calm before the storm”.
So far, it’s been
way too calm and for way too long. As an outsider watching a steady parade of
injustice and corruption directed toward the Bad Orange Man, I wonder if the
predicted storm will really happen? Or if like the frequent predictions of a
winter blizzard, we only get snow flurries and a breeze rather than a foot of
snow.
Instead of a reckoning, it seems the swamp is thumbing their
collective noses at President Trump.
Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, deep within the
seditious coup, fired by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions, supposedly under
investigation, got a nice gig as a CNN contributor.
Despite McCabe being one of the point men in spying on the Trump campaign, the
Department of Justice has,
“No immediate plans to prosecute former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.”
Compare McCabe’s treatment by the Justice Department to that of
a Trump
campaign advisor. “Republican operative Roger Stone was found guilty Friday
of all seven counts against him, including witness tampering and making false
statements.” According to
the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General, McCabe gave, “False
testimony under oath to the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility.”
Stone make false statements to the FBI and faces 20 years in
prison. McCabe makes false statements to the FBI and becomes a cable news
talking head. Some storm.
It’s a promotion for McCabe, and prison for Stone. Perhaps McCabe
struck a deal with the DOJ to rat out his boss James Comey, but I’ll believe
that when I see it. No storm for Mr. McCabe, just clear skies and sunshine.
Speaking of witness tampering and false statements, that is the
modus operandi of Rep Adam Schiff’s House Intelligence Committee. Schiff is a
star in the House and Stone is heading toward the big house. Calm weather, no
storm.
Then there is the king of prosecutorial misconduct, the real
special counsel, Andrew Weissman. Not content to slither away after his Enron
fiasco, he ran the Mueller investigation in a similar fashion to his Enron
prosecution. Any reckoning for him? Nah. Like McCabe, he was rewarded
with a gig at
MSNBC as an analyst, joining another should-be fugitive from justice, former
CIA director John Brennan.
One of the head honchos in the coup against Donald Trump is Hillary
Clinton. Any storm for her? She is on another book
tour, this time with her daughter Chelsea, teasing jumping into the Democrat
primaries, hoping that the third time will be the charm for her otherwise
uncharming presidential aspirations. No storm for her either, only blue skies.
There are lots of investigations underway against the Deep State.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz is looking at FISA application abuses
including using fabricated and unverified political opposition research to spy
on American citizens and others within three hops of their subjects, meaning
the entire Trump campaign and organization.
US Attorney John Durham is looking into the origins of spygate and
has now shifted his investigation from an inquiry to a criminal investigation.
Where are the indictments, sealed or otherwise? Where are the Roger Stone-style
SWAT team raids at the homes of Comey, Brennan, and Clapper, the type
orchestrated by the above-mentioned Andrew Weissman?
Are any of the spygate players in solitary confinement like Paul
Manafort? Or are any of them fighting for their lives, like Michael Flynn, for
supposedly misstating something to the FBI during a prearranged entrapment
interview?
We hear about upcoming revelations, predicted by those in the know
or with good sources. Sean Hannity has “tick tock” predictions at least once a
week. Yet rather than tick tocks, all we see are tweets from Brennan, Clapper,
and Comey, continuing to tell their followers what a reprobate President Trump
is. John Brennan recently tweeted an
ominous warning to President Trump, “May your downfall be swift, your penalty
onerous, & your legacy condemned by all.”
Joe DiGenova, former US Attorney now working for Team Trump, has
also been promising a storm. A few weeks ago he predicted,
“FISA report will ruin careers, people are going to be indicted.” This is not
his first prediction that has yet to come to fruition. Where’s the reckoning?
Where’s the storm?
Where is the IG report on FISA abuse? Where is the promised
declassification of the documents which originated this coup? This has all been
imminent every week for the past year, yet it remains as elusive as bigfoot.
President Trump and AG Barr had,
“animated discussions” in the Oval Office the other day but the storm still has
not arrived.
Despite climate change, the weather is fair, with no storms on the
horizon. Waiting for the storm to arrive is as frustrating as it was for
Vladimir and Estragon waiting for Godot.
Are Barr, Horowitz, and Durham Deep State plants or will the show
play out on Trump’s terms, without consideration for the impatience of me and
everyone else waiting for she storm?
Despite my frustration, I am resigned to waiting. Trump laid it
all out in his famous
speech from October 2016. He says what he means and means what he
says. He knows all about the seditious coup against his presidency and will
settle scores, just as Michael Corleone settled family business in The
Godfather. In the age of reality television, something Trump knows a
little bit about, attention spans are short and timing is everything.
But enough already of the calm. Bring on The Storm.
