This is one of the greatest political scandals in history. For three years, I had to fight her off, and fight those crooked people off, and you’ll never get your reputation fully back. Where do I get my reputation back?
Donald Trump (on Fox News)
It’s not often Americans feel sorry for just-defeated presidents, especially for Donald Trump. So, why is his Real Clear Politics “favorability” poll up 6 points and his “un-favorability” poll down 8 points this year? Because Joe Biden sucks at his job (buyer’s remorse), but also because of what Elon Musk, Robbie Mook, and Robert Mueller put into the public record: Democrats bad.
Democrats, such as Bobby Kennedy and Jimmy Carter, once held the moral high ground in government, and had to bugger things up for the GOP to win. Back then, the liberal paradigm was kindness and fairness (mom), and the conservative paradigm was toughness and pragmatism (dad). So, when LBJ buggered up Vietnam, Nixon won. When Carter buggered up the economy, Reagan won. Elon Musk just flipped the script.
Elon Musk, business hero to millennials, recently tweeted: “In the past I voted Democrat, because they were (mostly) the kindness party. But they have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican. Now, watch their dirty tricks campaign against me unfold.” On cue, a former co-worker alleged sexual harassment. Welcome to the Deplorable basket, Elon!
Actually, Democrats lost the kindness advantage in 2012, when Obama said, “You did not build that” about self-made success. Their fairness advantage was lost even earlier, when Obama’s IRS attacked conservative PACs. By 2016, Democrat division and hate were on full display. Democrats lined up against the “racist” Republican, and Clinton invented the “traitor” narrative. To this day, most Americans still don’t believe Trump received “unfair” treatment, but Robbie Mook might have changed that.
Mook was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager in 2016, when Democrats and anti-Trump media initiated a Russia Collusion hit job they would keep alive for two years. Mook testified under oath that Ms. Clinton knew about and authorized the voter deception, which included the Pee Tape Dossier run by British ex-spy Christopher Steele through DOJ official Bruce Ohr, and the Secret Trump-Putin Server run by DNC lawyer Michael Sussmann, who’s on trial for lying about it to the FBI.
Mook exposed Clinton’s poor judgment in authorizing the scheme. Her staff was not “totally confident” in the accuracy of data suggesting a “back-door channel” between Trump’s server and Russia’s Alfa Bank. Mook testified, “I discussed it with Hillary. The discussion was, hey, we have this and we want to share it with a reporter. She agreed.”
That’s seven shady entanglements for Ms. Clinton – Whitewater, Travel-gate, a China fundraising scandal, a pay-to-play foundation, 31,000 deleted emails, a dropped FBI investigation, and Sussmann’s ruse – that are NOT all fake news. Because Congress heard CIA Director Brennan testify under oath that he told President Obama about Clinton approving a plan “from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services” (source: Brennan’s July 2016 meeting notes).
Not only did Hillary Clinton know about and authorize the scheme, she actively spread the false narrative.
Days before the election, she tweeted, “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank.”
Days after the election, she told USA Today, “There certainly was communication and an understanding of some sort that somebody had to help direct and coordinate the actions by the Russians. I’m convinced of it.”
No wonder Republicans see a double standard. They heard Bob Mueller, questioned by Congress about the allegation of a Secret Trump-Putin Server, answer under oath, “it wasn’t true.”
It is not stupid to wonder how Mueller knew THAT after 674 days without knowing the REST of the scheme. It’s not blind loyalty to feel betrayed as drip-drip revelations link all of the Trump-Russia dirt to Clinton-paid operatives and pro-Clinton acolytes. It’s not treason to confront the party that has weaponized the CIA, DOJ, and FBI.
It’s actually smart and patriotic to oppose one party’s loyalists hating your party’s guy (Trump) and hatching “insurance policies” to ensure their gal (Clinton) gets elected.
What Musk has done is call out the “division and hatred” party (Democrats), who are quite open that the ends (elect Biden) justified the means (ruin Trump’s reputation). If anything, the ends weren’t worth it, because this president’s shaking invisible hands. Even worse, there’s $6.00 gas, no baby formula, rising crime, under-educated kids, and war in Ukraine.
I’m not sanctifying Donald Trump or claiming he would have prevented all of today’s woes. I am indicting Obama-Clinton-Biden Democrats for dividing Americans and sowing hatred inside the CIA, DOJ, FBI, and press. No way today’s ends justified the means to get here.
