Totalitarians Circle Wagons Over House Intelligence Memo

The savages are attacking! The savages are attacking! Fellow totalitarians, circle the wagons! Circle the wagons!


Oh yes, the Democratic Party and their truth-defying, squatters in the media are lashing out against elected representatives who dare reveal the treachery and criminality of political operatives in the FBI, Department of Justice and possibly the federal judiciary. They can’t stand having their ‘rot from within’ mission exposed for the world to see.


The very same people who lionize the Washington Post and informants in the FBI on a third-rate burglary that brought down a president are desperately trying to cover-up institutionalized corruption. We have revolutionaries in our nation’s top, law enforcement agencies hellbent on a coup and a political party that is aiding and abetting their efforts.


A four page memo outlining the criminality of the Obama administration doesn’t faze the so-called mainstream media. These “agents of truth” are trying to playdown these explosive revelations as underwhelming and possibly subversive. They’re not concerned that a fake dossier was used to violate a citizen’s fourth amendment rights and to spy on a presidential nominee. They don’t care that this same dossier was bought and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC. They don’t care that this same dossier was forged by a foreign agent with ties to the Kremlin. But they’re damn sure Donald Trump colluded with the Russians. Go figure.


The Charlotte Observer’s editorial board is a perfect example of liberal, groupthink that contaminates mainstream media. Here is their take on the widespread corruption that infest the upper echelons of our law enforcement agencies:


Wait. That’s it?


That’s the blockbuster secret memo?


That’s the Four Pages of the Apocalypse, the document that’s supposed to cleanse the FBI and shake the Mueller investigation to its core?


We’re ... underwhelmed. There was no blockbuster in the four pages released by the House Intelligence Committee Friday. What those pages contained instead was an allegation that the FBI obtained a FISA surveillance warrant on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page based on information supplied by a source who didn’t like Donald Trump.


Even that allegation might not be true. The FBI says the memo is rife with inaccuracies. So do Democrats in a rebuttal the same committee refuses to release. Also left out was any supporting documentation, such as the actual FISA application. Instead, what America got was speculation without evidence, accusations without facts, about a small part of a massive Russia investigation.


Really, that’s it?


This is what Republicans thought was worth risking the good name of the FBI and its agents. This is what Donald Trump thought was worth further corroding his relationship with the nation’s law enforcement agencies.


Did the Observer think the FBI would embrace a memo that exposes their corruption? Are these people so far down the rabbit hole that they can’t look outside of their liberal looking-glass? Keep swallowing those blue pills, morons.


Their editorial keeps getting better:


The memo offers no such justification. It is classic conspiracy weaving and Talk Radio 101, a declaration that if one fraction of an FBI investigation has a sniff of partisanship, the whole probe must be tainted. The only people who will believe that are those who already have their eyes closed before reading it, because the president already has persuaded them the Russia probe is a political witch hunt.


In that way, allowing the memo’s release was a clumsy political move on Trump’s part. It had already done its job before Friday, prompting breathless alarm about the FBI and sowing doubt about the origins of Mueller’s investigation. The smart play for Trump would have been to somberly keep the memo secret and let the spores of conspiracy continue to flourish in the dark.

I thought the job of journalists, and the news industry in general, was to shine a light on the machines of power and influence. The Washington Post’s masthead proudly proclaims, Democracy Dies in Darkness. Apparently, the Charlotte Observer is willing to let democracy die. And finally, the coup de grace


Instead, the president turned on the light on. What did we learn? Not much. But the memo reminded us of plenty.


It reminded us that House Intelligence Chair Devin Nunes is a bumbling Trump sycophant who already had to step away from the Russia investigation once and now should be relieved of his chairmanship.

It reminded us which Republicans are willing to inflict foundational damage to our country’s top law enforcement agency for the sake of protecting the president and their party.


Isn’t that delicious? It goes to show you that whatever Democrats and their media lapdogs accuse Republicans of doing, you can damn well bet that’s what they’re up to.


I have to ask, who damaged the FBI's and DOJ's reputation?  Are they sure it wasn't the very agents who conspired with Hillary Clinton and her confederates to bleach bit and smash cellphones and laptops? Or, when they changed the language in a report so as to ensure the Democratic nominee wouldn’t be indicted for violating the espionage act? Is there any reprehension by the editors at the Charlotte Observer over having a fake dossier used to spy on political opponents? I could go on and on about the transgressions of the Obama administration and the Observer’s lack of concern.


I agree that democracy dies in darkness, particularly when the media willfully throws a tarp over the truth.
