#1 YES and we've known this for 3.5 years...

So when will the Dept Of Slow Justice start indicting those involved for TREASON?

We understand that the initial AG kinda gummed up the works early on, but that still leaves 2 years of nothing.

#2 Ref #1 YES and we've known this for 3.5 years...

When the Intelligence Community (both current and former members) came out en masse against the Orange Man along with seniors in the FBI, defense establishment and DoJ, you had to know something was dreadfully amiss.

Former Director NSA (DIRNSA) Admiral Mike Rogers solo trip to Trump Towers to reportedly warn of illegal surveillance of the ongoing campaign was my tipping point. The evidence began snowballing after that.

The only remaining question now is, what exactly is it that they wish to hide ?

#3 [W]hat exactly is it that they wish to hide?

That's the pathetic part, B. They don't have anything in particular or particularly bad to hide. They just think everything they have and work towards is the be-all-and-end-all...

#4 /\ You may be on to something there Merc, a reluctance to share power, a categorical disdain for a 'non-beltway' player, the arrival of someone who cannot be bought. Other elements may likely include a curtailing of 'Endless Wars' and control of the Military Industrial Complex. Trump's strong stand on China, globalization, and illegal immigration were probably not on the Deep State's agenda either.

Jumping to other topics; any Wiki leaks-Assange developments? Mike Flynn case, Seth Rich murder? Ghislaine Maxwell? Christopher Steele? Lollita Express ?

#5 It started with Jeb and McCain. For them it was the fear (correct, as it turned out) that Trump and his Great Unwashed would turn the GOP against illegal immigration, free trade, and endless military adventurism and end our elites' embrace of China.

It spread to Hillary. For her and her people including Glenn Simpson and Nellie Ohr it was just an ordinary plumbers-style Watergate campaign op to distract from her email server scandal - along with, of course a desire to keep the gravy train running.

Team Hillary enlisted the Obama WH and the FBI. Then it got legs.

For Obama and ValJar and Kerry & crew, the biggest fear (correct, as it turned out) was that he and his people especially Flynn would set out to undo their precious Iran deal. They wanted to nail Flynn to keep the money flowing to the mulkags and preserve this sham non-"achievement" of Zero's foreign policy.

For Comey, McCabe, Bruce Ohr and for Strzok and his fellow mid- and low-level FBI conspirators it was probably a combination of genuine loathing of career advancement (in the event of a Hillary win) and genuine disdain for the boorish anti-swamp Orange Jacksonian.

Zero and Comey brought in the CIA, from which this eventually spread to the never-Trumper Joint Chiefs.

Throughout this series of crimes, the media were rabid accessories.

Amazing, really. Am I dreaming? Did this all really happen to us here in our country?

#8 Well, I mean what do you expect from the likes of Obama and Biden? These men have no scruples but they must have known that they were in over their heads.

#9 The coup conspirators miscalculated Trump’s strength. We all know any GOP swamp creature would have resigned 10-15 days into this multi-pronged attack. Trump fought and is still fighting.

#10 any GOP swamp creature would have resigned 10-15 days into this multi-pronged attack.

Not possible, by definition. Remember, the genesis of the coup was the GOP ELITES themselves: Jeb and McCain.

The swamp is the Uniparty is the swamp.
