Release of classified info puts lid on collusion hoax

Thank Heaven for John Radcliff, and thank Heaven that Donald John Trump has reached the end of his tether with the ruling class of Washington, and declassified everything – every jot and tittle, every slip of paper, every dirty note – that had to do with the biggest political scandal in this nation’s history. The Russian collusion story has now been totally, effectively and undeniably debunked as a fraud. Now all that remains is the indictment, trial and possible incarceration of the perpetrators. All. Of. Them.

The declassification of former CIA Director John Brennan’s notes of a White House briefing with the former President, Barack Hussein Obama, proves the White House learned about the hoax, and at the very least gave tacit approval. Brennan has attempted to explain away his misdemeanors, but his explanation does not comport with what’s on the pages.

Let’s recap: The original idea for the Russian collusion story was concocted by members of Hillary Clinton’s campaign staff. The best synopsis of the events comes from Greg Jarrett a Fox News analyst, who has done extensive investigation on the hoax.

According to Jarrett’s column last week: “Newly declassified handwritten notes authored by former CIA Director John Brennan show that on July 28, 2016, he briefed President Barack Obama on intelligence evidence that Clinton had approved a plan to vilify Trump with false accusations that he was colluding with Russia. She did it, the intel concluded, to distract from her own damaging email scandal.

“It was an audacious plot put in motion by one of Clinton’s foreign policy advisers and then sanctioned by the then-Democrat presidential candidate on July 26. But the genesis of the smear came from Clinton herself.

“For months, she had peppered her campaign speeches with increasingly venomous accusations that her opponent was a Kremlin asset and a “puppet of Putin.” There was not a shred of plausible evidence. It was a shameless lie drawn from the insidious depths of Clinton’s fictive imagination. It was magnificently devious and classic Clinton.

“But the lie didn’t stop there. Through a conduit, her campaign commissioned an ex-British spy who composed an anti-Trump dossier of rumors and disinformation derived from a suspected Russian spy.

These fabricated stories were then secretly and sedulously fed to James Comey’s FBI and the gullible media, both of whom went after Trump with a vengeance.

“The result was the greatest mass delusion in American history and one of the dirtiest political tricks ever perpetrated.”

Think about that. The entire four-year maelstrom of political upheaval was perpetrated on the nation by a presidential campaign – one that was supposed to win in a walk. It poisoned our discourse, tainted an incoming administration, and put the nation through Hell. The hoax was given approval by the Obama team, latched onto by partisans in the Deep State, the DOJ and the FBI, and given new impetus through bogus Congressional hearings and a ridiculous impeachment.

Put simply, what began as a dirty trick ended up as a coup d’etat. That’s what this was with the imprimatur of the former administration. It was an attempt to taint a candidate and then a presidency with the goal of subverting an election. The current talk about “peaceful transfer of power” is nonsense. We have seen what the Clinton campaign and the Democrats think of “peaceful transfer of power.” They attempt to overthrow the government.

People should be outraged. More importantly, people should never give power back to a party that would go to such perverse extremes for power. A party that wants power that badly should be kept at bay.
