Editorial

In the past week a new and very ominous realization has come over many pundits and commentators. This realization is not relegated to the so-called “conservative” side of the aisle, but has appeared among liberals as well. The leaking of telephone conversations by President Donald J. Trump to the president of Mexico Enrique Pena Nieto and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has possibly become a “bridge too far” for many, who now realize a coup is being attempted.

The release of classified transcripts August 3 by the Washington Post of both conversations under the guise of “informing the public” on how inside conversations take place is the latest in a series of leaks that have occurred for no other reason than to bring discredit to the Trump administration. Led by the Post and the New York Times, all pretense of objectivity has been ditched in an attempt to overturn an election with which elites on both coasts and among both political parties disagree.

The release of the transcripts is the most blatant and most egregious act by the “deep state,” that ensconced part of the executive that sees itself as the fourth branch of government. But make no mistake, if the Post agreed with the Trump presidency, there is little doubt the transcripts would have been spiked in the interests of national security.

This is nothing new, and no one should be surprised. The veil was lifted eight years ago when Barack Hussein Obama became a candidate and then won the presidency. For those eight years the press, which is part of the Liberal Elite, fawned over their man. Any attempt to show the corruption that was rampant in his administration was spiked: the IRS handling of applications from conservative groups; the Justice Dept. selective enforcement of discrimination laws; the tapping of phones of reporters. The list goes on.

It was supposed to be four or eight more years of the Liberal Express that was going to overturn America and American values for a more global, more identity-skewed, anti-Christian agenda. November 8, 2016 burst that hope when a majority of states voted for Trump.

Almost immediately the call came for impeachment, though he wasn’t even sworn into office. But on top of it, the Russian narrative, which began late in the campaign, began to take over as the boogey man that took the election away from Hillary Clinton. The facts belied that, and still do.

Now we have Robert Mueller, special counsel, empaneling a grand jury and the elites and anti-Trumpers are not hesitating to show their glee. They liken it to Watergate, but forget one very important difference. In Watergate an investigation tried to solve a crime. In this case, a fake leak by ousted FBI Director James Comey prompted the hiring of Mueller. It is possibly the first time in history a fake story was used to investigate a fake crime. But the goal is to delegitimize and create a crime. Yes, “create” a crime.

Conservative commentator Mark Levin is correct when he said last week the goal here is not to find wrongdoing, but create a situation where something done becomes criminal. Interviewing people like Donald Trump, Jr. or Jared Kuschner will be done in the hope of finding something that can be used against the president and maybe find that “high crime” that will set the impeachment cycle going. If nothing else, inconsistencies or omissions or just outright lapses of memory will be manipulated into lies. Levin calls this a “process crime:” getting something in interviews that can be used in a prosecution outside of the crime being investigated.

The Washington establishment, the mainstream media, and the liberal elites on both coasts have been stung by the fact that average Americans rejected their oligarchical rule on November 8. The “deplorables” must be taught to mind their betters.

Donald Trump is the consummate outsider and he has vowed to upend the establishments, the “swamp” that has ignored the will of voters for generations. He, and his supporters must be taught who’s boss, say the elites, and this investigation by Mueller is the means to do it.
