Is There Light At The End Of The Deep State Cover Up?
2018-06-25
[Townhall] It looks right now like bad guys are getting away with attempted election larceny. But, events are still unfolding and the dark of night precedes dawn, even in politics.

To those paying attention, rot and corruption at the highest levels of government are painfully visible. The problem is that "visible" does not mean the same thing as "entered into public awareness."

The most malignant political abuses in American history are lodged in shady DC hallways, government memos, thousands of texts and emails, and partisan dossiers that are staring us straight in the face. But, it would take an honest and capable media to make the public care.

Unfortunately, we go to civic war with the media we have. Most national outlets are staffed by packs of Democrat cheerleaders and bodyguards. Their mission is to unite and howl in harmony about whatever is the current attack on Donald Trump. The subject has bounced from fictional Russia collusion to imminent nuclear war with North Korea to the horrors of policing illegal border crossings under the same conditions and constraints that were in place‐and separated families--under the Bush and Obama administrations.

Nary a reporter at ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS, NYT, or WAPO will lift a finger or stir a tongue to inform Americans of the malice of FBI Agents Strzok or Page, or other accomplices yet unnamed. No producer or executive in the Alphabet Cartel will allocate news minutes to exposing the machinations of James Comey, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, Bruce Ohr, or others.

So, the biggest political scandal there ever was, still isn't. But that doesn't mean the story dies here or that no chickens will eventually roost and in due course, boil.

Even the hefty reports of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz‐loaded with explosive revelations‐are delivered soggy and quickly defused.

Horowitz has been notably thorough digging up ugly facts. But, he has been unreasonably agnostic‐even disingenuous‐about connecting, interpreting, and reporting the damning dots. As Andrew McCarthy explains, the IG report presents copious evidence of intense hostility and dripping contempt for Trump, as well as bizarre departures from standard law enforcement methods during the Clinton investigation. Yet, the Report blithely concludes no harm, no foul, no bias, because it would take a mind reader to understand why FBI officials made the decisions they did.

The Inspector’s insouciance in turn excuses media lies or neglect about the disclosures’ real import. That’s how a long running trickle and sometimes torrent of news about troubling, possibly criminal behavior by government gets dismissed as unrelated, unimportant matters.

A unique, mostly unnoted development offers hope to break through the blockade of blasé. Last March, Attorney General Jeff Sessions advised Congress by letter he had previously deputized United States Attorney for Utah John Huber and other "senior federal prosecutors" to consider and act on information coming from the Inspector General. When a federal prosecutor "acts" it means he brings warranted criminal cases. Without Horowitz’s swamp background or ties to the Obama administration, Huber is positioned to look independently and apply legal scrutiny rather than political excusery to a number of issues. These include:

#14  Nary a reporter at ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS, NYT, or WAPO will lift a finger or stir a tongue to inform Americans of the malice of FBI Agents Strzok or Page, or other accomplices yet unnamed.

CNN pays for the privilege to be in all the airports and many hotels, maybe it's time for Fox News to up the ante and capture this spot. Many uninformed voters only watch the anti Trump MSM, it would be good to inform them of all issues. Or at least it would be fun to see the lefties minds explode. I hate seeing CNN on constantly and watching those absorbing all of it sickens me.

#13  There's a lot of, "oh shit,if he goes they'll see me" cover going on.

#12  I would love to see the details on all the connections of Soros & co.

I wouldn't be at all surprised to find Chinese connections galore.

#10  Hi G(r)omguru, thanks for the response. I'm with Besoeker and BP on this. I want the small fry, fried. Transnational progressivism is directed I think, from where or from whom I do not know.
(Also, Whiskey Mike is an old call sign I had for almost a year, not a name per se, but thank you for being polite. It is appreciated.)

#9  While the search for the 'control group' continues.....please hand us the scalps of Soetoro, Brennan, and Clapper. We need a morale booster about now.

If you make the small fry pay the price for their crimes it might discourage other small fry.

#8  I did say "except personally positive ones", BP. After all, the current western econ. sys. have to support hundreds of thousands (if not millions) "white collar workers" that are no more competent in their jobs than I would as Confucian scholar.

#6  The coordination we see in terms of passing laws trans nationally that funnel money to the establishment imply a controlling group is masterminding this somewhere.

#5  we still have no clue as to whose hand was controlling the puppet

Does there have to be a controlling mastermind, Michael? Doesn't an aggregate stupidity and lack of consequences - except personally positive ones - enough?

#4  My biggest worry is we still have no clue as to whose hand was controlling the puppet, never mind how the puppet even came to be.

#3  Zero was always a glove puppet for others.

The globalist looters are organised like an onion.

#1  The reason Rep. Barbara Lee, Rep. Maxine Waters, their CBC cohorts, and the left are fighting POTUS so viciously; their affirmative action icon Soetoro is at the bottom of all of this. Soetoro, Brennan, and Clapper are ultimately responsible.
