Washington

It has taken a long time, but finally the Justice Department is training its guns on what
heretofore was unthinkable, unless you are a career civil libertarian. For years the
civil libertarians have been warning us that the intelligence community posed a threat
to democracy, as we know it in these United States. Every so often they would point
to some excess of the FBI or the CIA and tell us that the lights were going out in
democratic America. Does not the Washington Post run atop its front page the
maudlin line, “Democracy Dies in Darkness”?

Well, the darkness descended upon Donald Trump the moment he decided to run for
president. The FBI and CIA, in cahoots with Mrs. Hillary Clinton and those
popularizing the infamous “dossier” she financed, threw a blanket of darkness over
his campaign.

Late last week we learned that what had been a Justice Department administrative
review had suddenly become much more serious. It has become a criminal inquiry.
That means the Justice Department believes there is sufficient evidence that a crime
has been committed. Now the prosecutor in charge, John H. Durham, will have the
power to subpoena witnesses’ testimony and documents. He can convene a grand
jury and file criminal charges. My guess is that he has already convened a grand jury.
Mr. Durham and Attorney General William Barr have been looking into the origins of
the Obama administration’s spying on Trump. Just how did it begin? And who exactly
started it? They are clearly unsettled by the answers they have found so far.

My colleague George Neumayr and I have been studying the Obama administration’s
spying on Trump for over three years. While most of the mainstream media searched
desperately for a smoking gun carried by one of President Trump’s people or even by
the president himself, we looked elsewhere. We looked at the politicized atmosphere
within the FBI and the CIA. We even looked at British intelligence. No one else
seemed interested, but we found evidence of criminal misbehavior by the former
head of CIA, John Brennan, the former head of national intelligence James Clapper,
and former head of the FBI, James B. Comey.

On March 23, 2018, we published the following lines, “While Brennan’s recklessness
is obviously of no interest to the media, it is provoking increasing concern among
government investigators, who are looking at a range of his abuses — from leaks to
perjury to the outsourcing of spying on Trump to foreigners under the guise of
‘intelligence-sharing.’ ” And we went on, “A member of the intelligence community
tells [us] that he was approached by FBI investigators inquiring about Brennan’s
improprieties at the CIA. He was startled to hear them venting aloud about Brennan’s
practice of using British intelligence officials to spy on the Trump campaign, including
American contractors hired by the British who were working from the 12th floor of a
building in Crystal City, Virginia, and an NSA building in San Antonio, Texas.
Brennan, they fumed, was using British intelligence agents so that he could deny, if
asked, that he had spied on the Trump campaign.”

Now if you will remember, President Trump claimed that the Obama administration
had bugged Trump Tower. The chattering class raged about this claim for months.
but we now know that Trump was right. Comey had sitting on his desk FISA warrants
on Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and Michael Flynn that gave him the power to reach
into Trump Tower and intercept their communications. Seized with Trump
Derangement Syndrome, the three stooges — Brennan, Clapper, and Comey — had
convinced themselves that Trump, a sui generis American businessman known for
his patriotism, was a plant for the Russians.

Psychologists would call such a far-fetched notion a case of projection. It was
Brennan, after all, who famously voted for Gus Hall, the Soviet plant who ran for
president in the 1970s.

The most perverse irony in all of this is that the American officials who bleated the
loudest about “malicious actors interfering in the election” presided over a
government that actually did. It was members of the U.S. government who spied
upon Trump’s campaign and sought to sabotage it through entrapment schemes and
criminal leaks. It was Brennan who turned to foreigners for dirt on Trump to throw the
election. They failed, but not for lack of trying. Just ask Harry Reid, who has noted
Brennan’s “ulterior motive” for briefing him on Crossfire Hurricane before Election
Day.

In the coming days, we will learn much more about this audacious mischief, first
through the report of Inspector General Michael Horowitz detailing FISA abuses, then
through Durham’s findings, which could result in a raft of indictments. Brace for
impact, lefties. It is going to be a bumpy year ahead.

IMHO the entire purpose of this rushed impeachment scam was to beat this investigation to press, the will allow the D party leadership to ascend their crosses and claim to be victims and martyrs.

They might just burn on those crosses.

I'm just thrilled that somebody other than Christ and me are accused of being on the Cross for a change.

He has to try and passively aggressively steer everything to being about him in order to feed his incessant need for attention and perpetual victimization. I only hope he has fully recovered from his stabbing.

And probably true. But also the GOP fault for waiting for so long. There was no reason for it.

I'm right next door to West Virginia, I could swing on over and head up to your holler - there's probably a few inbred ones to be found there...I could probably just drive around slowly and yell "Hondo wheeeeeeyyyyyyy!!! Here piggy piggy!!! Hondo wheeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy!!!" out the window, but hell, on second thought, I don't want to mess around and get mobbed.

Hey, have you seen the movie The Hills Have Eyes...also known in West Virginia as A Hondo Family Remembrance?

You have TDS bad, Ugo. Your obsession with me is getting creepy.
I hope you can find some peace of mind and get over your hate for me ( and homosexuals).

Are you done praying for me?

Yet here you are again...you're a classic case of projection.

And do you even know what TDS is...because that has nothing to do with this. Are you just trying to fit in with the cool kids by saying something you heard but don't understand...kind of like your recent homo apologist sentiments.

It seems you don't come here for the hunting...or is it that you don't have a dog house?
