| [NationalReview] Trump’s critics need a scapegoat to explain why they haven’t managed to vanquish him. Russianism is a psychological malady in which furor at Donald Trump’s election victory and presidency ‐ and the ensuing depression resulting from the inability to abort it ‐ finds release through fixation on Russia. The recent orthodox progressive and Democratic view of Russia ‐ until the appearance of Donald Trump ‐ was largely what it had been throughout the Cold War: one of empathy for Russia and understanding of its dilemmas, and shame over supposed right-wing American paranoia over a bogus "Russian bear." |

| #1 In addition, DOJ and FBI officials deliberately misled either gullible or partisan FISA court judges to obtain surveillance warrants on American citizens This is the second major editorial that mentions FISA judges being partisan. The SC rebuked a FISA judge in 2016 I believe. We will find that the Deep State extends into the FISA courts as well. Not one FISA judge has commented on warrants requested, granted or denied. |
