Ok, Paul Manafort folded. He cut a plea deal with Mueller and is now ready to sing like a canary. This is it, right? This is finally the missing holy grail that proves there really was collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, right? I mean, after all, that was the whole point, right? Mueller was on a mission from God, ok maybe not God, but on a mission. He was there to find the Russian collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia that CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and CBS knew was there. It had to be there. How else could one explain the unexplainable. I mean, come on, this election was in the bag for Hillary. Yes, she was an old gas bag, with an awful personality and the most padded resume in the history of mankind, but hey! She was a woman, she was a liberal and it was time to break the glass ceiling once and for all, right? It was her turn. And she was running against Donald Trump!

Donald Trump? Are you kidding me. The loud mouth on Celebrity Apprentice with the world’s worst combover hovering over the world’s worst spray tan. The guy famous primarily for bad jokes and insults? Yes, Hillary had her faults, but DONALD “blankety blank” TRUMP. Seriously? No self-respecting person would vote for this guy to be Commissioner of Sanitation, right? He is the world’s most obvious bad joke. Hillary is outspending this guy by like 2 to 1. Every TV network, including FOX is warming up for the coronation. Fireworks have been ordered for her victory party in Manhattan. What could possibly go wrong.

But it did go wrong. On election night, state after state that should known better voted for Trump. Hillary lost in states that hadn’t voted for a Republican since Noah was working on his boat thingies. It wasn’t even close. By the time the vaunted anchors on CNN were sipping their second cocktail, the world turned upside down. The impossible, the unthinkable, the unimaginable, was actually happening. Donald Trump was really going to be the next President of the United States. Perhaps Rachel Maddox put this best when she said: This is not just a bad dream, this is not a nightmare, you’re not imagining this, this is real.

There had to be a mistake. This couldn’t possibly be true. There must be another explanation. Any other explanation. Hillary blamed it on the Russians and suddenly it made sense after all. It was Putin, over there in Russia. He hacked the DNC e-mails and in one of the dirtiest campaign stunts in history told the world the truth about Hillary Clinton. He published real DNC e-mails and let the entire world see the real Hillary Clinton: a loathsome hateful plastic imitation of a human being who came perilously close to losing the DNC nomination to an aging irrational socialist from Vermont or where ever. This, and only this, could explain the unexplainable. This and only this could make sense of the madness of Donald Trump being President of the United States. They had to believe this, because the alternative was to accept the cold hard truth that Hillary really had lost. Not just lost but lost to a clown. Not just any clown, but Donald “blankety blank” Trump.

And then the skies opened, and Robert Mueller descended from heaven to save the day. He would be given unlimited power to slay the dragon. To prove to the world that this was all a big mistake and it was not our fault, it was Russia’s fault. The fire breathing dragon, ok, clown with the poorly died red hair combover, would be forcibly removed from office and peace, love, happy days and sanity would finally be restored.

Except that Mueller didn’t slay the dragon. He didn’t find a hint of Russian collusion. Instead he was confronted with the obvious, that this was all BS created by bumbling amateurs at the FBI, DOJ and the CIA. Seriously? Even if Donald Trump wasn’t guilty, these guys should at a minimum been able to do better job of framing him.

At each step, they kept waiting for that masterful secret witness. The one who saves the day, in Perry Mason style, and forces the obviously guilty Donald Trump to sob his way through a tearful resignation. But, that never happened. Instead Trump just kept on tweeting insults and Mueller delivered nothing other than a handful of meaningless confessions by people who can’t even spell collusion. These are pathetic sideshows that wouldn’t warrant anyone’s attention unless they were brief stops on the way to impeachment.

Then, the greatest of them all, Paul Manafort, is finally intimidated into pleading guilty and, wait for it, he is going to cooperate with Mueller. The national nightmare is finally over. Birds are starting to sing again. The clouds will roll away and the sun will shine again. There’s a new day dawning. Happy Days are right around the corner.

Except, wait, there’s a problem. Yes, Manafort is singing, but he’s singing wildly off key. He is, gasp, singing about people like Tony Podesta and the Clinton campaign. He is talking about collusion, not by Donald Trump, but by Democratic fat cats and not with Russia, but rather Ukraine. Didn’t Mueller get the memo? Yes, Manafort bought politicians, but they aren’t Republicans, they’re Democrats. The guy even arranged a meeting between the Hapsburg Group and President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden. What the heck is that? Who cares if those guys colluded with a foreign power to influence an election. Why would that matter? This is not about them, this was never about them. What is this crap?

Alcohol. More alcohol. It won’t change anything, but it will lessen the pain. The world looks better after alcohol. That is why God, if one believes in God, invented the stuff. Alcohol doesn’t change the world, but it does a great job in changing how one views the world. Never more necessary than now.

The flip, flopped.

Several years ago I was working as an expert witness with regard to a claim improperly denied by the insurance carrier. The attorney representing my client was not optimistic. I recommended he depose one particular person, who happened to be a general counsel for the insurance company. He resisted because he didn’t think that would clarify anything. But I had noticed that she was copied on a denial letter. Finally the attorney reluctantly filed the notice of deposition. The results were instantaneous. After three years of denial the insurance carrier folded and sent the insured a check for $500,000. The attorney was shocked.

I explained what happened to him. I realized that there was no way that general counsel would allow herself to be deposed regarding a conversation she had with an adjuster. She would consider preserving attorney client privilege to be far more important than this claim. She knew that if she testified, under oath, with regard to this conversation she would be setting a precedent the insurance carrier could not tolerate.

We may have a very similar situation regarding a meeting in the White House. This has been reported by Joe DiGenova. It is important to understand that DiGenova knows people who know people who know things. He was a former U.S. attorney. He is on a board with Former FBI and CIA Director William Webster and former U.S. Attorney General Benjamin Civiletti. He was retained by the New York State Senate to investigate Governor Eliot Spitzer. He led the prosecution of Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard and was the principle Assistant U.S. Attorney during the prosecution of John W. Hinkley. He is a part of a very small community of insiders.

Now he is saying two things, that if true will change things overnight:

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/09/huge-joe-digenova-yates-rice-biden-comey-and-obama-met-in-white-house-to-discuss-targeting-mike-flynn-audio/

He is reporting that Mueller has told close friends that he was handed a bunch of crap with regard to alleged collusion and he has found no evidence of collusion. That seems very possible. He says Mueller will probably indict someone else for lying to the FBI but will bring no charges regarding collusion.

He says that there was a meeting in the White House on January 5, 2017, with Joe Biden, Sarah Yates, Susan Rice, James Comey and Barack Obama to discuss targeting Michael Flynn. I doubt that he would make reference to such a meeting if he didn’t have evidence. He also says that says that James Baker, former FBI General Counsel is cooperating with an investigation. The people protecting Biden and Obama will never let anyone testify with regard to what exactly was said in that meeting. This means that someone, probably Sally Yates or James Comey may be in serious danger of being thrown under the bus. The guardians of the throne will sacrifice anything and anyone to prevent this from landing at Obama’s feet. They can’t throw Biden under the bus because he is too close to Obama.

This is now perilously close to Obama. Hitting the panic button is a real option.

NOTE:  In March, DiGenova was dismissed as a conspiracy theorist because he said there was a brazen plot to illegally exonerate Hillary Clinton and to frame Donald Trump with a falsely created crime.  Right now, DiGenova looks more like a prophet, or at least someone with insider information than he does a conspiracy theorist chasing mythical unicorns.

Sometimes all we see or hear comes from the Main Stream Media. While FOX is slightly more balanced, it doesn’t present the entire picture either. For example, if you watch Hannity on Monday and you watch Hannity on Friday, you will see the same people saying the same things and nothing will change.  To give Hannity credit, he has reported stories other people ignored and he has been proven more right than wrong. But, that does not change the fact that his show is largely repetitious.

It is increasingly obvious that even the MSM has given up on finding Russian collusion and obstruction of justice. They have given up on Mueller saving them from Donald Trump. That is why the NYT ran that stupid Op-Ed and the talking heads on CNN pretended this was immediate grounds to remove a President. We are now to the point where hating Donald Trump’s personality is sufficient cause to remove him from office.  That Op-Ed helps Trump, because it shows we have a President who refuses to be dominated by the permanent establishment. Those steady hands are really people committed to staying the course on a foreign policy that was not working.

But just because you can’t see beneath the surface does not mean there is no movement. Still water often does run deep. Serious things are happening and if you look closely, that surface is starting to show signs of movement.

Ironically Omarosa may have helped Donald Trump by playing another of her tapes on the View.

https://hollywoodlife.com/2018/09/10/omarosa-trump-tape-the-view-hillary-clinton-collusion-russia/

Here is what Trump actually said:

“I think Hillary is getting killed right now with Russia,” Trump says in the tape. “The real Russia story is Hillary and collusion.” He claims that then-White House communications director Hope Hicks told him Clinton paid $9 million for opposition research, which resulted in the infamous Russian dossier. Huckabee Sanders corrects him, saying it was allegedly closer to $6 million.

“Did you see?” Trump says. “Nobody knows who spent it. No, I heard it was nine. I heard it was 5.7 but now they say it was nine.” He then claims that the money was allegedly paid through a law firm so it couldn’t be traced. He is insistent that the money came through illegal campaign contributions. He never cites a source or provides proof of this. “It’s definitely illegal, and it’s illegal from a campaign standpoint, from a campaign financing standpoint,” Trump says. “So the Russia thing seems to have turned around, don’t you think?”

The press response is typical, the only thing that matters is that Trump got the $9 million wrong.  This is like someone talking about Jeffrey Dahmer and saying he killed twenty people. This is immediately corrected to point out that Dahmer only killed seventeen people, apparently implying this is less of a crime. The Clinton campaign did funnel campaign funds to people from Russia in a deliberate attempt to influence an election. There are almost certain to be some very serious people investigating this.

We are now starting to see a steady release of critical documents. Each of these documents is further evidence of the real conspiracy within the DOJ and the FBI to collude with the Clinton campaign and Russia to influence the election. These are being released for two reasons. One is that the truth is becoming too obvious to ignore. But the second may just be that the investigations done by the FBI and the DOJ are complete. They may be past the point of investigating and close to the point of announcing indictments.

There is a lot of evidence that still water runs deep and that eventually all the debris is going to surface.

It is ok to be hated. It is ok to be scorned. Once can even survive unrelenting hostility. But, one cannot survive being laughed out of the room. The Nike ad featuring Colin Kaepernick is truly insulting. Apparently not only must we tolerate the insults and disrespect for our flag, we must now stand up and salute Kaepernick for his heroic stand against injustice. This, of course, is absurd. Kaepernick sacrificed nothing and his entire campaign is based on a patently false narrative.

At first, I thought the response to this would be anger and a boycott of Nike, ESPN and the NFL. That is all true and that is happening. But this is a lot more than that. This commercial is so bad that there are now more versions of this commercial mocking it than there are of the original. Some of these “modified ads” are absolutely hysterical. Donald Trump, Jr. even made one substituting his dad’s face for Kaepernick. One of my current favorites is a picture of Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan.  The caption is:

“Believe in something, Even if it means taking a knee.”

I saw a talking head on TV trying to explain that this will help Nike sell shoes in China. He is unconcerned over the people boycotting Nike and burning shoes.  Apparently selling Nike products in America is a waste of time. He considers this a brilliant marketing strategy. He will probably be unemployed by next weekend. Wiser people are selling Nike stock.

This Nike commercial has become a national joke and this is not going away anytime soon. In addition, no one will ever be able to say “sacrifice” again with a straight face. This has literally changed our language, probably permanently. That is sad, because once again we have changed the meaning of a word to the extent it no longer has any meaning.

I sometimes think the most profitable job in the world is to get promoted to CEO of a major corporation so that you are in a position to make a really world class mistake. Then you get fired, along with a huge bonus check for mucking it up. Sometimes, stupidity can be very rewarding.

The Kavanaugh hearings may have a major, unexpected, impact on the mid-term elections. The Democratic Party has been taken over by the extreme liberal left. This element of the party is absolutely delusional. They have put tremendous pressure on Chuck Schumer to derail the Kavanaugh nomination. They realize that if Kavanaugh is confirmed conservatives will dominate the Supreme Court for decades. This is a worst case scenario for them.

This explains why Schumer has become increasingly hysterical. It is why he is screaming impeachment. It is why he even shut down the Senate in a failed attempt to derail the Kavanaugh hearings. It is why he coordinated the silly games being played by Democrats on the Judiciary Committee. But the problem for Schumer is that he is doomed to fail and the liberal left will not tolerate defeat.

We have already seen long term Democrats, considered to be in safe seats, defeated in primaries by poorly funded candidates from the extreme left, socialist, wing of the party. There may be no safe seat for a Democrat who loses support of the liberal left. The extreme left does not believe in capitalism, they believe in socialism. They only believe in elections if they win. They don’t believe in compromise and they can’t even spell tolerance. The only way to satisfy them is to give them exactly what they want. They want Kavanaugh defeated. They will only accept a Supreme Court justice to the left of Ruth Ginsberg. They don’t want excuses they demand results. Logic, compromise and common sense are not even in their vocabulary. They don’t care how hard Schumer works to defeat Kavanaugh; they only care whether or not he succeeds.

When he loses, as he must, they will hold him and every current Democrat in congress accountable. They won’t switch and start voting for Republicans, but they also won’t turn out in droves to support Democrats either. If anything, they are likely to protest against both parties. Those people screaming and yelling during the hearings today are not going to be enthusiastic about supporting the people who let them down.

On October 26, 1986 Bill Buckner misplayed a routine ground ball. Some people believe it was the primary reason the Boston Red Sox lost the World Series. Boston Red Sox fans never forgave him. He even received death threats. That was only Boston Red Sox fans and it was only a World Series. It doesn’t compare to the sense of loss the liberal left will feel when Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed

This is so bad that the mythical blue wave may literally turn into a red tide. Donald Trump and Republicans are winning and Democrats are striking out in the biggest game of all. It is still 60 days before the midterms, but right now momentum is all on the side of Republicans and it would be foolish to ignore that.

James Woods, a smart man, quickly recognized the significance of the idiotic decision by Nike to feature Colin Kaepernick. He advised his broker to immediately sell all his Nike stock. Nike stock feel 3% yesterday. Odds are it will fall more today. At first the decline may seem reasonable, but it will continue to slide. Even extreme liberals like to keep their money. While some people, like Lebron James and Tom Brady may not grasp the magnitude of this error, those people smart enough to earn money who invested it in Nike stock are likely working overtime on an exit strategy.

Ironically, one result will be enormous class action lawsuits against the board of directors of Nike. Here are the people who are about to be sued:

Mark Parker                        Chairman, President & CEO

Philip Knight                        Co-Founder and Chairman Emeritus

Alan Graf, Jr.                       Fed Ex Corporation

Timothy Cook                     Apple, Inc.

John Lechleiter        Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America

John Thompson, Jr.           Nike, Inc.

John Connors                       MBS Source, LLC

Johnathan Rodgers            Nike, Inc.

Elizabeth Comstock           Nike, Inc

Michelle Peluso       International Business Machines Corporation

John Donahoe II      ServiceNow, Inc.

Travis Knight                        Laika, LLC

Pater Henry PH.D   Nike, Inc.

Cathleen Benk         Nike, Inc.

This will do more than depress Nike sales. It will do more than result in people burning Nike merchandise. This will make anyone wearing Nike labeled products a target. Most of us will just see the logo and smirk. Other people will potentially respond violently. If you doubt that, check out the physical assaults on people wearing MAGA hats. Now multiply that by several thousand.

If, and that is a big if, Nike is to even survive it will probably have to rebrand itself. Nice! This is going to rank as one of the dumbest decisions in the history of corporate America. This reminds me when on July 11, 1985, Coca-Cola Chairman & CEO Roberto Goizueta and Coca-Cola president Donald Keough decided to change the recipe for Coke so that it would taste more like Pepsi. It was a complete disaster. In just a few days, the original Coke was back, now labeled Coca-Cola Classic. New Coke has been long gone.

http://home.bt.com/news/on-this-day/july-11-1985-new-coke-canned-as-coca-colas-new-formula-is-deemed-a-marketing-disaster-11363991256264

Perhaps the best comment was by a Coke executive who said:

“We did not know what we were selling. We are not selling a soft drink. We are selling a tiny part of people’s lives.”  Coca-Cola Classic was completely removed from Coke cans in 2009.

Some people believe the entire “New Coke” campaign was a publicity stunt. Who knows? But what Nike has done is no publicity stunt, it is a publicity disaster. This is either a deliberate insult to every veteran and police officer or these people are beyond stupid.

The truth is that Colin Kaepernick probably sat down for the National Anthem because otherwise no one would have paid attention to him at all.  He had been reduced to a back-up quarterback all wise 49er fans prayed would never see game action. His career was already over, not because of his political views, but because of his lousy performance. But when he sat for the national anthem, the liberal left and the MSM went crazy. Suddenly everyone forgot that Kaepernick was a lousy player and they elevated him to superstar status. The owners and coaches in the NFL knew better. A polarizing player drawing massive publicity can be very destructive.If that player can’t actually play, the problem is magnified.

Now, Nike is comparing this to winning the Medal of Honor. In reality the only thing Kaepernick sacrificed was several more weeks of oblivion as a backup quarterback being paid too much to justify placing him on the practice squad. Most people not named Lebron James and Tom Brady realize that.

I can already imagine another TV ad by William Devane on behalf of Rosland Capital:

“To all of you who own or previously owned Nike Stock: I warned you to buy gold.”

The liberal left had a grand time last week elevating Senator John McCain, who they despised, into national hero status, solely because he hated Donald Trump. The problem is that one can only have so many funerals and McCain is finally buried. While the MSM will desperate try to keep the myth alive for a couple more days, the reality is that McCain is dead and the only thing the MSM accomplished was to make Donald Trump, who wasn’t even invited, the entire focus of McCain’s funeral.

The MSM cannot resist the blatant politicization of every possible tragedy. They just can’t help themselves. If the people chosen to speak at McCain’s 14,000 memorial services had just stuck to praising him for his own accomplishments, perhaps they could have impressed. But instead, almost every speaker seized the day to launch barbs at Donald Trump. Although, to be fair, one serious problem is that John McCain has few real accomplishments. He is like the Paris Hilton of the Senate, famous for being famous.

Yes, he did survive several years captivity in North Vietnam. So, did a bunch of other guys. Some of them, real heroes, were awarded the Medal of Honor. McCain got the medals that were the standard issue to every POW. The rumors about McCain breaking under pressure and making propaganda tapes for the enemy happen to be true. The source for these rumors, among other things, is McCain’s own book.

John McCain was mostly famous for being John McCain. In many cases this came from him snatching defeat from the jaws of victory when conservative Republicans were on the verge of success. The latest, and most telling example was when he voted against the repeal of ObamaCare, even though he supported the repeal of ObamaCare, because he wanted to thumb his nose at Donald Trump.

Donald Trump primarily ignored the death of McCain. He didn’t say anything nice about McCain, because anything he said would have been turned against him. Also, because Trump is far more honest that the traditional politician. He despised McCain and that didn’t change with McCain’s death.

Others, like George W. Bush, Joe Biden and Barack Obama, who all hated McCain, developed instant amnesia in their rush to the microphone for the opportunity to bash Donald Trump. It was not love of country or admiration for a great American hero that united these political rivals, it was their mutual hatred of Donald Trump.

Perhaps the most appalling performance was by George W. Bush. Obama’s treatment of Bush was horrible throughout his presidency. In many cases policy decisions were based primarily on reversing anything done by Bush. Yet, Bush refused to speak out against Obama, saying that he owed his silence out of respect for the office of President of the United States. That all ended the day Donald Trump was elected. Bush is obviously seething with hatred toward Donald Trump and he takes cheap shots at him at every opportunity.

What all of them, and I do mean all of them, are missing is a simple fact. If Donald Trump is the focus of every conversation, then Donald Trump is the one dominating the agenda. If Donald Trump was not considered a serious threat to the political establishment, they would have ignored him. But the opposite of love is not hated, it is apathy. The liberal left has a love/hate relationship toward Donald Trump that makes it impossible for them to ignore him. Recently they have foolishly tried to demonize his supporters because they cannot comprehend the fact that some serious and intelligent people like the way Trump is performing his duties as commander in chief. These are not delusional idiots, those are the ones marching along side antifa. These are your neighbors, your friends your relatives, who judge Trump, not on the obviously flaws with his character but rather on his raw talent for getting things done.

John McCain is finally buried, and he isn’t coming back. Donald Trump is alive and well and still President of the United States. No amount of shameless posturing by the liberal left nor fawning over this embarrassing sacrilege by the main stream media changes anything. There is an old saying, if a tree falls in the forest, and no one is there, does it still make a sound. The answer is applicable both to the liberal left and the MSM: yes, it still makes a sound, but no one listens, and it doesn’t change anything, it is just another dead tree.

Chuck Todd wanted to come to work today. He was certain that Mueller would issue some bombshell announcement regarding the Trump campaign colluding with Russia. He believes that because he desperately wants that to be true. He also realizes that if Mueller doesn’t do that today, odds are very high he will not do that prior to the November 6, 2018 election. The liberal left needs Mueller to deliver a bombshell before the midterm elections.

Well it is now 6:30 pm on the East Coast and still no sign of a Mueller announcement. We can be pretty sure that Mueller is not going to make an announcement regarding Russian collusion for one very simple reason. If there was any hint of this, it would have already been leaked to the press long ago.

The MSM coverage of this borders on lunacy. Bob Bauer, former counsel to Barack Obama said the following:

“Investigators have the skills and resources to turn up evidence, including witness testimony, that goes beyond what anyone on the outside can imagine in the daily speculation about the Mueller probe,”

MSNBC was too excited to notice that what this really says is that Mr. Bauer can’t even imagine what evidence Mueller may have. Obviously, he is unaware of any existing evidence.

We are very close to the point where the MSM literally starts howling at the moon. The Trump’s legal team says they haven’t heard from Mueller in weeks. They sent Mueller a letter outlining the conditions under which Trump would consider answering questions. There was no response to that letter, which probably means that Mueller doesn’t want or need to interview the president. If Mueller really wanted to talk to Trump he would have at least responded.

The real bombshell is that there is no bombshell, there never was a bombshell and there never will be a bombshell. No bombshell is remotely possible because the Trump campaign didn’t collude with Russia. The liberal left cannot accept the reality of this because it means Trump is President of the United States, he is going to continue being President of the United States and there is absolutely nothing they can do about it.

It’s Friday afternoon and the only sound you can hear is from the crickets. It’s a beautiful thing. TGIF

Is Trump really disgusted with Jeff Sessions? Is Jeff Sessions really a pathetic excuse for an Attorney General too weak to deal with Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein? Is he oblivious to corruption and collusion between top officials at the FBI and the DOJ regarding the Clinton campaign? He would have to be really stupid to miss this and he would have to be totally unprincipled to ignore it.

Is Trump afraid to fire an Attorney General he despises? Is he willing to tolerate the never-ending Mueller Investigation while no one, including his own Attorney General, is even glancing at Hillary Clinton? This is inconsistent with everything we know about Donald Trump. He is, after all, famous for firing people.

For quite some time I have wondered if we weren’t watching a show. This just seemed a little too public and a little too choreographed. What if Jeff Sessions is doing exactly what Trump wants him to do? What if this is all an act to give Sessions cover to do the real investigations and to elevate his credibility?  It turns out I am not the only one who thinks this is possible.

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/08/the_sessionstrump_feud_just_a_show.html

As President Trump and A.G. Sessions go back and forth, the DOJ is in fact investigating the Clinton Foundation.  Furthermore, the DOJ is also looking into the FBI and the Clinton emails case.  And there are further reports from Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

So what happens if the new candidate for Time person of the year, the new darling of the left, drops a huge nuclear bomb down the road about the Clinton Foundation?  What if there are indictments?  Or what if A.G. Sessions concludes that the FBI investigation of the Clinton emails was a farce and takes corrective action.

We do know this. Jeff Sessions has been extremely strong regarding using the DOJ to effectuate the Trump Agenda. We know that there are secret investigations by both the IG and a secret unit headed by John Huber.  There are hints that big things are happening. There was a strange visit of an FBI plane to Little Rock Arkansas.

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/08/mystery_doj_757_spotted_at_little_rock_airport_sparking_hopes_that_doj_hq_finally_is_moving_against_clinton_foundation.html

Witnesses describe loading evidence boxes. A 757 is a huge plane and this apparently made two trips.  Some speculated that this involved evidence collected from the Clinton Foundation.  The FBI responded by saying this was in connection with a drug task force raid.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/fbi-responds-to-speculation-about-its-jet-in-clinton-town_2621628.html

Note that the FBI did not deny that the plane was carrying evidence regarding the Clinton Foundation. It just said that there were tactical teams present to assist in the arrest of multiple defendants because of a drug-trafficking organization. It is a classic non-denial, denial.

https://www.justice.gov/usao-edar/pr/central-arkansas-drug-organization-dismantled-eleven-defendants-face-federal-drug-and

This was a joint operation with state authorities, so it seems unlikely that an FBI 757 would be required to relocate evidence boxes. It seems even less likely that it would need to make two trips. We really don’t know, and that is the point. We know something is going on, we just don’t know any of the details.

Donald Trump once said that the sad truth was that we needed someone like him, who had lived in the swamp and knew how the swamp worked to fix things. Almost all of the negative stories about Donald Trump’s personal life are true and none of it matters. What does matter is that he IS President of the United States and, so far, he seems to take his duties seriously.

There are no perfect people on this earth and sometimes we desperately need highly flawed people uniquely capable of handling impossible situations.  This is why, when history is written, Donald Trump is likely to be compared to people like Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill. Abraham Lincoln was considered to be the worst possible choice for President, including by his own party. His own cabinet literally plotted to ignore him and run the government themselves in spite of his accidental presidency. We now know that Lincoln was perhaps the greatest President we ever had. The civil war was horrible beyond imagination, yet ultimately it was the civil war that made us the country we are today.

Winston Churchill was the worst possible choice for Prime Minister of Great Britain until circumstances made him the only choice. Today it is hard to imagine Britain even surviving without him.

In both cases these were highly flawed people, but they were also people uniquely equipped to deal with the impossible. Both faced severe opposition, including from the main stream media of the day. Both found a way to by-pass the media and go directly to the people. Both men were consistently underestimated by their opponents. Today, no one even knows the names of the men who were so dedicated to opposing Abraham Lincoln. No one knows the names of the men who so despised Winston Churchill. The people opposed to Donald Trump are destined for the same fate. History always rewards those who actually do things and it always ignores those whose only role is to get in the way.

Donald Trump said that Hillary Clinton’s e-mails were hacked by China. NBC published a report today saying that this was inaccurate. This is evidence that NBC realizes it is a really big deal if it is true.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/fbi-rebuts-trump-claim-about-china-hacking-clintons-email/ar-BBMCDaR?ocid=spartandhp

The facts are this. An FBI official said the FBI had not found any evidence that the (Clinton) servers were compromised. That is true, the FBI didn’t find squat. However, it is important to read exactly what James Comey previously said about this:

“Given the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence. We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial email accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account … She also used her personal email extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related emails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal email account.”

In other words the FBI admitted the FBI could not find evidence that her servers were hacked. It ignored the inconvenient fact that the ICIG had told the FBI, long ago, that they found exactly such evidence.

There is an e-mail to Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, sent by FBI Deputy Director Mark F. Giuliano on July 21, 2015:

On 13 July 2015 and 20 July 2015, I verbally advised you of a Section 811(c) referral from the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community received by the FBI on 06 July 2015. The referral addressed the mishandling of classified information on the personal e-mail account and electronic media of a former high-level U.S. Government official.”

An 811 referral is used to inform the FBI that classified information was potentially released to a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power.

No action was taken by the FBI.

The fact that NBC ran this story, with little or no attempt to obtain the actual facts is not just another example of fake news. It is evidence of a continued desperation to cover-up the increasingly documented misdeeds of Hillary Clinton. And, in this case, it is an admission that if these allegations are in fact true, Hillary did serious damage to our national security.
