Let’s be blunt here. Democrats have been stealing elections since day one. Anyone who doubts this need only research the history of Tammany Hall in New York. The only Republican political machine I could find was in Philadelphia and that turned Democratic when Joe Clark was elected in 1952. Historically it has been nearly impossible for anyone other than a machine candidate to win a local election in a major metropolitican area. Jane Byrne, also a Democrat, beat Chicago Mayor Michael A. Bilandic in 1979, primarily because he couldn’t get the snow plowed after a major storm. She lasted one term before she was beat by Harold Washington. She was actually part of the Democratic machine herself, having served as co-chairperson of the Cook County Democratic Central Committee under Richard J. Daley. She was only removed when Daley died in 1976. His son, Richard M. Daley was mayor of Chicago from 1989 to 2011.

Democrats were shocked when a Republican replaced Anthony Weiner because they knew the name, address and voting history of every voter in the district. Robert Turner won, primarily because Democrats ran a terrible candidate. He only served one term and was replaced by, gasp, another Democrat. I read a contemporary report saying that every registered voter in the district received a personal visit by someone with the machine who helped them understand how to vote. In some cases, very nice people even help individuals fill out their ballot and then offer to deliver it for them. If an election is close, the machine can always find enough extra votes to push their candidate over the edge. Al Frankin won the Minnesota Senate race when miraculously a couple of hundred votes surfaced at the last minute. Conveniently the margin of victory was pretty close to the number of convicted felons conveniently allowed to vote.

This is why Donald Trump set up the independent voting commission. It is also why he just dissolved it. The problem with the commission is that it was intended to be a bi-partisan effort to identify and correct voter fraud. It soon became obvious that Democrats have zero intention of cooperating. Instead they did everything possible to obstruct things. One of the Democrats on the commission sued the commission.  Trump disolved the commission and turned it over to Homeland Security.

Democrats missed something really big. The U.S. Department of Homeland Secruity (“DHS”) includes: The U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, The U.S. Immigration and Customers Enforcement, The U.S. Secrety Servie, the Transportation Security Agency, the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Citzenship and Immigration Services.

The reason the voting commission failed was that it was blocked from obtaining the documentation it required. Well, guess what folks, DHS not only has the authority to demand the data, it already has much of the data. Democrats are too busy rejoicing to realize that instead of ending the hunt, Donald Trump just turned it over to a real professional who already has access to all the guns and ammunition needed. By the way, states have been sending voting records to Homeland Security for years.

This time there will be no public hearings. Most of the investigation will be done in secrecy. In many cases no one will even realize what data is being accessed. Kris Kobach, who was a central figure in the Commission on Election Integrity did not criticize the decision by Trump, he praised it. He said this was not a change in mission, it was a change in tactics. It appears as though Democrats only succeeded in talking themselves out of a seat at the table.

The main stream media and a lot of other people are very concerned by the continued habit of President Trump to send out tweets. This morning he sent out one that may be very significant:

“Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents. Remember sailor’s pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept. must finally act? Also on Comey & others.”

It is important to remember that Trump knows things no one else knows. We do know that those emails found on Anthony Weiner’s computers are even worse than imagined. Numerous reports, including the one below, are reporting that government network utilized by Huma Abedin has been hopelessly compromised:

http://dailycaller.com/2018/01/01/abedin-forwarded-state-passwords-to-yahoo-before-it-was-hacked-by-foreign-agents/

Ms. Abedin forwarded sensitive State Department emails, including passwords to government systems, to her personal Yahoo e-mail account. She allegedly used her yahoo email account to conduct sensitive government business.

Yahoo accounts were hacked by foreign powers, probably Russia. “Digital thieves made off with names, birth dates, phone numbers and passwords of users that were encrypted with security that was easy to crack.” They also obtained the security questions and backup email address used to reset lost passwords.

This may explain why the DOJ has been dragging its feet at releasing information. If this is true, they may have been very busy trying to restore security to our most sensitive systems. They may also be in a desperate search to find out what our enemies know about us.

The most dangerous secret we can disclose to our enemies is to let them know what we know about them. If this is true and it seems to be well documented, Huma Abedin put us all at risk. At best, this was incredibly stupid. But what if it was done deliberately? Why on earth would any person with an ounce of common sense send government passwords to their personal Yahoo account?

Trump specifically included Comey and that may really matter. Remember that Comey claimed that the FBI had reviewed all those emails on Anthony Weiner’s computer and it didn’t change anything. Seriously? He knew that Huma Abedin had sent government passwords to her Yahoo account and he didn’t consider that to be a problem?
James Comey sent out his own tweet on New Year’s Eve:

“Here’s hoping 2018 brings more ethical leadership, focused on the truth and lasting values,”

It is hard to imagine anything more unethical that a Director of the FBI willing to cover-up a major national security breech. Happy New Year Mr. Comey.

The New York Times is desperately trying to deflect attention away from the Trump Dossier. They are foaming at the mouth about George Papadopoulos.  This is not exactly news. It is all based on a plea bargain signed by Papadopoulos in October. There is absolutely nothing new here.

The following CNN article includes the signed agreement by Papadopoulos:

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/30/politics/george-papadopolous-trump-guilty/index.html

The timing is all wrong. Papadopoulos met the “professor” on or about March 14, 2016.

On or about April 26, 2016 he met the professor for breakfast. Following is a description of what the professor said:

During this meeting, the Professor told defendant PAPADOPOULOS that he had just returned from a trip to Moscow where he had met with high-level Russian government officials. The Professor told defendant PAPADOPOULOS that on that trip he (the Professor) learned that the Russians had obtained “dirt” on then-candidate Clinton. The Professor told defendant PAPADOPOULOS, as defendant PAPADOPOULOS later described to the FBI, that “They [the Russians] have dirt on her”; “the Russians had emails of Clinton”; “they have thousands of emails.”

Here is what CNN and the New York Times either missed or just didn’t tell you. Most hacked DNC e-mails were written after April 29, 2016. Of the 27,500 DNC e-mails, fewer than 7,000 predate April 29th.

It is extremely unlikely that this professor was talking about the DNC e-mails. If anything, he was talking about e-mails obtained by Russian Intelligence from Hillary’s illegal unsecured e-mail server. If the FBI had this information, it should have alerted them to the very real threat that highly classified e-mails processed by the Clinton personal server had been compromised by Russian intelligence. It certainly did not justify seeking a FISA warrant to spy on Trump campaign officials.

It would also be interesting to know how the FBI confirmed that Papadopoulos was lying. Was the breakfast with the Russian professor recorded? If so, by whom. I doubt that the Russian professor gave a statement to the FBI or anyone else. Was someone else at this meeting? If so, who was that? There are more questions than answers here

In addition, even if the story is true, it would not justify the FBI investigating the Trump campaign regarding collusion with Russia. According to this report the Trump collusion investigation did not start until after the DNC e-mails were released by WikiLeaks on July 22, 2016. Conveniently that was shortly after James Comey’s press conference exonerating Hillary Clinton by pointing out her criminal negligence.

The WikiLeaks e-mails were not e-mails from Hillary Clinton, they were e-mails by top officials at the DNC. Here is an article in the Washington Post listing the most damaging e-mails:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/07/24/here-are-the-latest-most-damaging-things-in-the-dncs-leaked-emails/?utm_term=.5f0a075d6720

They weren’t even about Hillary Clinton. They were about the bias within the DNC mocking both Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama. If the FBI did open an investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia because of this meeting by Papadopoulos with the assumption that this was about the DNC Server those involved should all be fired for incompetence and stupidity.

Once again, one must wonder if the main stream media really this stupid or are they desperately hoping we are this stupid.  It is increasingly obvious that they are beyond desperate.

Perhaps it is just me, but lately it seems like every Friday another FBI bombshell is dropped.  The Friday before Christmas FBI General Counsel James A Baker was reassigned.  Today, thanks to Judicial Watch, the FBI is releasing 2,800 e-mails from Huma Abedin that were found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop.  That would be the same laptop Weiner was using to sext underage girls.  These e-mails are likely to be heavily redacted.  This is a huge problem for Hillary Clinton.  If they aren’t redacted, they are likely to be more than a little embarrassing.  If they are redacted this is clear evidence that they contained highly classified information.  Odds are they will both be heavily redacted and still embarrassing.

I worked in secure facilities where there was access to highly classified information.  Everyone in that facility took security very seriously.  There were no waste baskets; every piece of paper was put into a burn bag.  We used to joke that the highest classification was “burn before reading.” No one ever considered removing classified information from this facility.  I can’t even imagine anyone sending a classified e-mail on an unsecured server.  But this wasn’t just an unsecured server; this was a server that was almost certainly compromised.  There were reports that Anthony Weiner had over 650,000 e-mails on that server.  At least some of them allegedly involved inappropriate communication with underage girls.  Odds are extremely high that Weiner’s laptop was hacked.  That is bad enough, but what makes this worse is that Huma Abedin admittedly printed copies of these e-mails because Hillary liked to read them in print. If you read my previous blogs about Huma Abedin it is easy to see why she should never have been granted a security clearance.  Huma Abedin could have easily provided copies of highly classified documents to almost anyone.  It is a case study in how to be grossly negligent with regard to highly classified information.

Every member of FBI senior management involved with the original investigation of the Hillary Clinton e-mail server has been removed.  At the time of the Comey statement “exonerating” Hillary by called her only extremely careless rather than grossly negligent there were several reports that FBI agents working on the investigation were furious.  Following is a report by Fox News

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/10/13/fbi-doj-roiled-by-comey-lynch-decision-to-let-clinton-slide-by-on-emails-says-insider.html

Note the following quote from this article:

“No trial level attorney agreed, no agent working the case agreed, with the decision not to prosecute — it was a top-down decision,” said the source, whose identity and role in the case has been verified by FoxNews.com

In addition, the source said: “It was unanimous that we all wanted her [Clinton’s] security clearance yanked.”

How, exactly, does one run for President if one can’t qualify for a security clearance?

The FBI has a totally new management team.  It would be naïve to expect them to reach the same conclusions as the Comey group.

The following article from the conservative tree house reminded me of when I watched the Evelyn Farkas interview back in March:

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2017/12/26/my-oh-my-latest-reports-of-fbi-doj-counterintelligence-operation-evelyn-farkas-statements-take-on-new-light/

It is extremely important to put this interview in context. On March 21, 2017 Devin Nunes received a phone which caused him to take immediate action. He switched cars and did not tell his team where he was headed. He was on his way to the White House where an unnamed source took him into one of the most secure rooms in the world and showed Nunes information so secret that it could only be observed in that location.

Devin Nunes holds a press conference on March 22, 2017 saying that he saw evidence that there was surveillance of the Trump transition team and possibly Donald Trump himself. He then wen to the White House to brief Donald Trump. No one really knows what Nunes saw in that room. No one knows what he told Trump.

On March 27, 2017 Evelyn Farkas gave this stunning interview:

I was urging my former colleagues, and, and frankly speaking the people on the Hill [Democrat politicians], it was more actually aimed at telling the Hill people, get as much information as you can – get as much intelligence as you can – before President Obama leaves the administration.

Because I had a fear that somehow that information would disappear with the senior [Obama] people who left; so it would be hidden away in the bureaucracy, um, that the Trump folks – if they found out HOW we knew what we knew about their, the Trump staff, dealing with Russians – that they would try to compromise those sources and methods; meaning we no longer have access to that intelligence.

So I became very worried because not enough was coming out into the open and I knew that there was more. We have very good intelligence on Russia; so then I had talked to some of my former colleagues and I knew that they were also trying to help get information to the Hill.” [ie. Democrat politicians] (link)

At the time I wondered why this interview was not recognized as a bombshell. I now believe a lot of people knew the significance of this. However, unlike Democrats on the hills, Republicans did not discuss this with the press. Instead, they acted.

We know that Nunes was running an investigation and he wasn’t informing his Democratic colleagues. He was justified in doing that because Farkas had publicly admitted that Democrats on the hill were active members of the conspiracy. We know that the OIG had been running an investigation since January 2017. There are hints of other, more secret, investigations. On May 16, 2017 President Trump interviewed Robert Mueller. Since Mueller was not eligible to be Director of the FBI, it was probably about something else. On May 17, 2017, Mueller was appointed special counsel to oversee the investigation into ties between Trump’s campaign and Russian officials.

Following is a link to the letter appointing Mueller:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/05/17/us/politics/document-Robert-Mueller-Special-Counsel-Russia.html

Read this letter carefully. Perhaps the main stream media and Democrats on the hill totally missed the significance of this appointment. It is vital to realize that this was AFTER Nunes had viewed that information in the White House and it was AFTER Farkas stupidly admitted that there was a conspiracy and incredibly she implied that President Obama was in on it.

Was Mueller there to investigate links between the Trump campaign and Russia? Probably not, because by this time everyone knew there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. If he wasn’t investigating this, what would be the point? Mueller would be able to investigate the potentially illegal surveillance of the Trump transition team and the coordinated leaks of classified information by Democrats on the hill. He could even employ some of the top suspects and allow them to incriminate themselves.

What if everyone, and I do mean everyone, has had this all wrong from day one. We may soon know.

Tuesday afternoon James Baker was the General Counsel for the FBI.  He accompanied FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to the House Intelligence Committee meeting.  He was obviously there to provide a legal defense shield for McCabe.

It didn’t go well. McCabe reportedly had to admit that the only thing the FBI has confirmed about the Russia Dossier is that Carter Page did visit Russia.

Vanity Fair accidently published a story that demonstrates why Carter Page could not possibly been involved in colluding with Russia:

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/12/federal-court-urges-carter-page-to-please-go-away

Carter Page, a man so deeply incompetent that a Kremlin agent who tried to recruit him reportedly gave up, telling his colleagues that Page was “an idiot.”

McCabe allegedly gave testimony that is charitably described as inconsistent with testimony by other witnesses.  And, by the way, he couldn’t remember seeing critical documents that allegedly were signed by him.

This is documented by the following article in Fox News:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/12/20/mccabe-draws-blank-on-democrats-funding-trump-dossier-new-subpoenas-planned.html

It is being reported that McCabe suddenly announced plans for an early retirement.  That seems like a wise decision, but based on the recent tweets by President Trump, he may not be given that opportunity.  Remember, Trump really likes to fire people.

This is bad enough, but there is more. McCabe may have incriminated James A. Baker, the lawyer sitting next to him. He was asked whether James A. Baker was authorized to speak to the media about the Steele Dossier and the underlying ‘counterintelligence’ operation.  McCabe said that Baker would not be authorized to take such action.

Apparently neither McCabe or Baker realized that the person asking that question had evidence that Baker was in communication with Mother Jones reporter David Corn prior to the election.  David Corn is the one who broke the story about the Russia Dossier.  By Friday, James A. Baker was reassigned from his position as FBI General Counsel.

https://www.politico.com/story/2017/12/22/trump-dossier-fbi-james-baker-david-corn-mother-jones-316157

The liberal left is trying to downplay this story, but when you get reassigned from the top legal position in the FBI two days before Christmas that is beyond bad. In addition, the Washington Post story has a classic non-denial denial.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/fbis-top-lawyer-said-to-be-reassigned/2017/12/21/2ac76640-e6b5-11e7-833f-155031558ff4_story.html?tid=ss_tw-amp&utm_term=.1f80ca2eb9fb

Apparently Baker “hopes” he didn’t leak classified information.  Wow!

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein testified that Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is going to release 1.2 million pages of documents on January 15, 2018.

We can expect one of two things to happen, if these documents confirm what appears to be obvious.  There will either be a special prosecutor appointed to pursue indictments or a criminal probe directed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.  We can also count on the House Intelligence Committee issuing subpoenas and asking a lot of tough questions.  Clearly the OIG and the House Intelligence Committee are working together.

https://www.npr.org/2017/12/20/572195727/politico-reporter-says-obama-administration-derailed-hezbollah-investigation

It appears the necessary house cleaning at the FBI is over.  Several agents have been reassigned, McCabe has announced his retirement and James A. Baker, FBI General Counsel was removed.  Just this week Sessions announced opening probe of Uranium One and more recently of the alleged obstruction of justice regarding Hezbollah.  The timing of these announcements is significant. Now that certain key players have been benched, the DOJ appears to be gearing up to take this on.  Attorney General Jess Sessions is now in charge.

An interesting question is whether Mueller is part of the problem or part of the solution.  In addition Bill Priestap, who was right in the middle of everything, is not being mentioned.  More than one person has noticed this:

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/12/how_husbands_and_wives_figure_in_the_latest_government_scandal_revelations.html

We may all learn a lot more about Bill Priestap in the near future, either as the target of an investigation or as the ultimate whistle blower.  Either way, it is not exaggerating to say this could be the biggest political scandal in the history of the United States.

A few weeks ago, I wrote that there appeared to be a secret investigation of the FBI and that I suspected it was run by Devin Nunes.  That has just been confirmed by the following article.  This is not from a right-wing blog but rather from someone who despises Nunes:

https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/devin-nunes-at-it-again-running-his-own-secret-investigation-into-muellers-russia-probe.1363241/

The article reports that Republicans on the Intelligence Committee have been holding secret meetings without the knowledge of their Democratic colleges.  Clearly the Republicans do not trust the Democrats on the Intelligence Committee.  That alone should be cause for alarm.  This committee has a charter to be non-partisan.  Allegedly the goal of this secret committee was to investigate corruption and conspiracy in the upper ranks of federal law enforcement.  Based on recent reports, they may have found exactly that.

Incredibly liberal Democrats still believe this is an effort to attack the FBI, to attack Robert Mueller, to undermine the investigations and the FBI to discredit them in advance of bombshell finding of Russian collusion. The problem with that theory is that there is zero evidence of the Trump campaign colluding with Russia but there is evidence of the FBI and the Hillary Campaign colluding with Russia.

There are now reports about the hearing with Andrew McCabe.  This obviously did not go well. I saw the pictures of McCabe arriving for his hearing surrounded by a contingent of FBI lawyers. This seems clear evidence that there is still a group of very senior people in the FBI who strongly support McCabe and are desperately trying to provide cover for him.  James Rosen reported on the hearing and it is stunning:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/12/20/mccabe-draws-blank-on-democrats-funding-trump-dossier-new-subpoenas-planned.html

McCabe was described as friendly to the Democrats, but he was unable to help Democrats build a case for obstruction of justice regarding Donald Trump.  McCabe tied to say that the FBI stood by the anti-Trump Dossier but apparently the only thing he could verify was that Carter Page had traveled to Moscow.  The FBI did not need any dossier to obtain that information.

It is starting to look like this investigation has flipped.  The FBI is famous for asking questions for which it already knows the answer to try and lure suspects into committing perjury.  This time it may have been the Intelligence Committee who already knew the answers to the questions and it was McCabe who did not know the answers.   The following comment is extremely important:

“Congressional investigators tell Fox News that Tuesday’s seven-hour interrogation of Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe contained numerous conflicts with the testimony of previously witnesses.”   It is important to note the description of this as an interrogation.

This appears to have been very different from the open-door hearings where each member of the committee is given five minutes of air time, often used solely for political posturing.  Trey Gowdy led the questioning. He is a skilled prosecutor and that makes this a very dangerous interrogation for Andrew McCabe if he is less than truthful.  If this report is true, someone is lying.  McCabe appears to be suffering from a Clintonian level of selective amnesia.  He can’t seem to recall key events, including situations where there are documents that allegedly have his signature.

It would be naive to assume that Jeff Sessions, Rod Rosenstein and Christopher Wray are unaware of the significance of this.  Perhaps they have distanced themselves from both the OIG investigation and the House Intelligence committee investigation for good reason.  They know Democrats will try and paint any criticism of people in the FBI as an attempt to distract from the Russia collusion investigation.  They are now able to take strong action if appropriate.  All three of them have said they will take appropriate action when the “investigations” are complete.  Maybe, just maybe, there are some real patriots in position ready, willing and able to take strong action to protect our democracy and the rule of law.  We better hope and pray that is true, because the alternative is unthinkable.

Andrew McCabe testified for eight hours in a closed session of the House Intelligence Committee.  Unlike the hearing with Donald Trump Jr., where there was a leak a minute, there have been zero leaks from this session.  Even Adam Schiff, the prime suspect for leaks from this committee, had very little to say other than that “McCabe has been a professional FBI Agent” and that Schiff does not understand “the calls of some to fire him.”

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/12/the_importance_of_no_leaks_after_mccabe_testified_for_8_hours_before_house_intelligence_committee.html

Republicans aren’t saying anything.  Politically that does not make sense.  But it does make sense if people are now focused on criminal punishment rather than the glory of short term political advantage.  Skilled prosecutors do not outline their full case at a press conference.  They save it for the jury.  The Democrats do not have any real evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, so they are trying the case in the court of public opinion.  Republicans appear to have hard evidence regarding obstruction of justice within the FBI. There is evidence that the Hillary e-mail server investigation has reopened.  No one is talking about that either.

The DOJ has dealt with other cases were high officials committed treason.  If FBI agents plotted to remove a U.S. President by using obviously fake information to investigate his administration, that would also be treason. Aldridge Ames was a CIA Agent who sold secrets to Russia.  Robert Hanssen was an FBI Agent who also spied for Russia.  It took eight years to find Ames and then build a case to convict him.  It took a long time to find Hanssen, but they had learned from Aldridge Ames.  In December 2000 they started surveillance of him, he was arrested on February 18, 2001.  Both men will spend the rest of their lives in a Super Max prison.

There are many signs that the investigation is nearing an end.  Unlike the Russia collusion narrative fueled by anonymous sources usually discredited, there have been very few leaks about this investigation.  Instead critical documents were legally provided to congressional committees just prior to public hearings.  None of those documents have been discredited.  In fact, none of those documents are even disputed. Sometimes silence is golden and if you are an FBI agent who betrayed your country now is the time to become very very afraid.

The Mueller Investigation, the House Intelligence Committee Investigation and the Senate Intelligence Committee investigations are all roaring toward a conclusion. In addition the Office of the Inspector General i(“OIG”) investigation of the FBI is also coming to a close. The results are almost certain to be devastating for Democrats and it is a largely self-inflicted wound. The OIG investigation was begun at the request of Democrats who were hoping to find evidence that Comey was unfair to Hillary Clinton during the e-mail scandal. Comey also welcomed the investigation because he clearly thought his testimony in front of congress would make him a folk hero. They were both incredibly wrong. The OIG has found serious problems with the way Comey handled the e-mail scandal. It has also apparently discovered the damaging text messages sent by FBI Agent Peter Strzok and others. It has been reported that the investigation regarding Hillary Clinton’s e-mails has been reopened. The only thing that both Republicans and Democrats agree on regarding this whole mess is that Comey messed up. He will be lucky to avoid criminal liability.

So far there has been zero evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. There is, however, evidence that the allegations of collusion were based on leaks by Democrats, possibly FBI agents, with no factual support. There is evidence that the top investigators on Mueller’s team were hopelessly compromised. Two of them have already been fired. This means that even if they did uncover a smoking gun, it wouldn’t matter anymore. Both Mueller and Rosenstein know that. Rosenstein allowed the text messages regarding Peter Strzok to be released to the press, knowing that he would be asked about this in a public hearing. He said that the OIG approved this decision. We can assume that Robert Mueller also approved of this decision. It would be foolish for Democrats to believe that Mueller is running a witch hunted with a mission to destroy Trump. He may be on a mission to restore integrity to the FBI. The release of these texts hint that the FBI and the OIG already has all the documentation it needs.

Rosenstein said he has faith in Robert Mueller and he is the right person to lead this investigation. He did not express such support for the members of this investigation who demonstrated such obvious bias. Rosenstein also said that Sally Yates was wrong when she refused to obey an executive order issued by President Donald Trump regarding the travel ban. That was an incredible statement, because Rosenstein reported to her at the time. He said the rule of law and the constitution were more important than Ms. Yates personal opinion about President Trump.

Democrats are clearly panicked. They are trashing Rosenstein for releasing those text messages. That is an admission that these are extremely damaging. Today Trey Gowdy said he would be surprised if Andrew McCabe is still employed by the FBI by the time of his scheduled appearance before the House Intelligence Committee. That appearance is scheduled for December 22, 2017, next Tuesday. Wow!

Democrats are in the process of being hoisted by their own petard. This is an idiom traced back to William Shakespeare meaning “to be harmed by one’s own plan to harm someone else.”

Judge Roy Moore graduated from High School in 1965. He was admitted to West Point and graduated in 1969. He was deployed to Vietnam as the commander of the 188^th Military Police Company. He was discharged from the U.S. Army as a captain in 1974. He then attended the University of Alabama School of law. He graduated in 1977 with a JD degree. He then went to work as a lawyer and later as a prosecutor.

This means that by the time Judge Moore completed his education at West Point, his service in Vietnam and his education in Law School, he was 30 years old. Now any of you who graduated high school in 1965 think back about the girls you knew in your high school class. Imagine returning home, really for the first time, twelve years later when you were 30 years old.   You look up some of the girls you remember from high school. You quickly discover that a high percentage of the “good” girls are married and several of them already have children. In 1970 the median age of first marriages was 22.5 for men and 20.6 for women. Even now the average is 28.4 for men and 26.5 for women.

People remain oblivious to the sacrifice paid by a lot of Vietnam Veterans. In addition to getting shot at, we missed at least four years of our life. These were critical years. The years our fellow class mates used to graduate college. A majority of them were married, had graduated college, were in the workforce and probably owned their first home. By the time Roy Moore graduated from Law School he had sacrificed 12 years of his life.

Who did you expect him to date? Many of the girls age 19 to 24 were in college. Certainly the girls that would be interested in someone who had graduated from West Point and the University of Alabama would be in college. They would naturally be dating other college students. It is quite possible that Roy Moore started dating young girls because there simply weren’t many girls close to his own age that were available.

It is interesting that no one in the main stream media or the RINO Republicans figured this out. I do not know what will happen in the election today. What is clear is that if Roy Moore loses, every Republican running in a major election will be slammed with a similar hit piece, just before the election. In some cases the allegations will be true. In other cases they will not be true. In all cases it will be an attempt by the main stream media to defeat conservative candidates. At least one of Roy Moore’s accusers has admitted to forging a document.  One should also not ignore something obvious.  The other guys accused of sexual misconduct seem to continue the same pattern for their entire lives.  I believe the most recent allegation against Roy Moore happened over 34 years ago.  We can only hope that the good citizens of Alabama are not this naïve.
