In court filings last week the Department of Justice deployed what could be the nuclear option in its latest effort to prevent President Trump from declassifying information regarding FISA warrants used to spy on his campaign aide Carter Page: It is claiming that such a move would interfere with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

This is the first time the DOJ has explicitly made this argument implying personal peril for the president, since interference could open Trump to charges of obstruction of justice. Until now, the department has argued that declassifying the documents threatened national security.

In the 178-page court document, DOJ officials said they had “determined that disclosure of redacted information in the Carter Page FISA documents could reasonably be expected to interfere with the pending investigation into Russian election interference.”

That rationale has heightened suspicions among congressional investigators that the special counsel is being used to prevent the disclosure of possible FBI abuses and crimes committed during the Russia probe.

“The obstruction trap was built into the special counsel,” a congressional investigator told RCI, speaking, like the two other sources in this article, only on condition of anonymity.  “If Trump fires Mueller, or Rosenstein, or declassifies documents [embarrassing to the FBI] it’s likely to bring an obstruction charge.”

And that would mean double jeopardy for Trump. “Obstruction is the instrument the Democrats are likely to use to impeach Trump if they win the House,” said the congressional source.

Now you can understand why the 2018 midterm elections are so important, especially to the left.

A lot of people feel the way you do, Senator, that words matter. Why don’t a group of you all get together and just confront him and say, you know, “Mr. President, this is not helping. You’ve got to stop it”? So many people come on this program and say what you’re saying, “This is wrong, this is bad. What are we going to do?” It’s very tit for tat. But I know there are people that feel, a lot of people that feel the way you do in very powerful positions. Why don’t a group of you just confront him and just say stop it?

It looks like the message has been sent again because President Trump hasn’t gone away, despite earlier warnings.

Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday to get back at you.

“They have six ways from Sunday to get back” at the President of the United States… wow.

So, even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he is being really dumb to do this.

It’s not about who the people want to represent them but about saving those within the federal government from the peril they created for themselves and a media so willing to collude with them to remove a president they didn’t authorize.

Why was that?

What shall we do with the Negro? I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature’s plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!

Okay, given the times it probably would’ve put an even bigger bullseye on the back of his head, but even today black conservatives are little more than showpieces to prove racial inclusion within the Republican Party.

There are many blacks today, experienced and scarred by the left, who are more than qualified to be “leaders”, that is, if they believe black people need to be led; a sentiment of internal debate to this day.

Sadly, some white conservatives are still bent on elevating those THEY deem worthy to lead us, without even the courtesy of asking.

For example….

Black Females with ZERO Conservative Credibility

The conservative movement leadership seemingly drooled over Stacey Dash all because she appeared in a bathing suit. She had zero background in conservatism or Republican politics at all but that didn’t seem to matter. All it took was one Tweet and she became a “leader”.

Because she was black and relatively young, the door was swung wide open despite the fact she would ultimately allow herself to be a joke on national television… as a Republican.

Then there was Joy Villa who told hundreds of thousands of gullible supporters she voted for Donald Trump even though she was a Bernie Sanders supporter who clearly had disdain for both of the two viable 2016 presidential candidates on Election Day.

As she was going nowhere in her questionable “career”, Joy knew all it took to get the attention of shallow, clueless conservatives.

Conservative women were (and are still to this day) seal-clapping “the dress” and conservative men gushed on her “hotness”. With the irresponsible elevation by Fox News and so-called conservative “leaders”, she made it deep into the Trump inner circle.

Once a spankin’ Joy Villa tried to pull a #MeToo on a Trump loyalist, she was discarded like old Fox News as if she never existed… at least for a short while.

This appears to be how Fox News issues retractions when they actively promote frauds on their audience who fall down hard.

One would think with the hundreds of thousands of dollars Fox News alone puts into “researchers”, they’d be competent and not set up the conservative movement with publicity-seeking leeches. It’s also sad that the Trump Administration relies on those who’re supposed to be vetting as the wrong people are slithering in and leaving their stink on his staff and family.

One would also think they’d learn their lesson after being burnt twice.

But, no….

Now, we have a woman who’s just enjoyed her one-year anniversary as a conservative being given center stage to single-handedly free Democrat slaves from the plantation, and she never had any use for conservatives until she could access their money.

The ONLY reason most even know Candace Owens exists is because her latest boss, Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA, had a little bit of a public relations issue when several of his young employees posted racist Tweets. In an effort to prove he wasn’t a racist and keep those nonprofit donations coming in, he hired a black face and sicced her loose on social media, reciting with authority things that have been already been said by many much wiser and lost much for saying them.

Here’s only some of what her white conservative admirers DON’T KNOW, as again they were too lazy to vet, accepted her as credible only because she’s all over Fox News, and will ignore her past once presented to avoid admitting they were duped… again.

When Candace Owens implodes, and she will, conservatives who embraced her will later act like they never knew her or feign ignorance as to her nefarious and anti-Republican musings.

Owens does appear have recurring meldings of those who disagree with her and death….

How many conservatives have fought against the notion of the Constitution being this “living document” that can changed to accommodate today’s social debauchery, yet Candace Owens was one of those frame of reference-challenged millennials who believed it must evolve because she said so. Also, Owens didn’t think much of candidate Donald Trump, but as he can now do great things for her, the tune has been conveniently changed.

But none of this matters because, again, condescending white conservatives are too arrogant to admit to the fact they’ve been conned.

Candace Owens is in way over her big head on this one and if black conservatives had access to the technology of today years ago, they’d probably be the first to tell you that it will take more than a few hundred thousand followers and hashtags to lure multitudes of blacks off the social program Democrat-dependency LBJ deployed decades ago.

And until conservatives stop using blacks when convenient, telling them who they should follow and why, they won’t be much different than Democrats.

We’ll just be their “friends” when it’s okay to be seen with or serve them.

Being consistent can be a real inconvenience.

Anytime the left needs someone to interpret the delicate nuances of an incident in the black community for the world, the media puts out calls for their usual spokespersons: Jesse Jackson and/or Al Sharpton because we all know THEY speak for all of us. While we acknowledge the condescension and racism inherent in that kind of thinking, liberals are not alone.

It’s sad to note that because of decades of being called racists, too many white conservatives are quick to promote the newest shiny thing promoted on social media to prove themselves not, while failing to vet the possible motivations that inspired the shine. I’ve said many times, either here or during interviews, that the black community is the ONLY group in this nation that has superficially-recognized, unelected leaders and too many bleeding hearts that elevate them to that status.

I’ve also said many times that it won’t take a “leader” to bring the blacks out of the progressive prison of the mind. It will take that individual reckoning and subsequent decisions that will determine if a person wants to remain in the proven liberal pit of despair or choose another option and climb out to freedom.

Unfortunately, too many conservatives are no better than liberals in propping up those THEY believe best speak for us.

All it takes to get noticed is repeat something lifted from those who’ve truly suffered as a result of liberal retribution for leaving the “plantation” without authorization, and get elevated to “rock star” status. Many of the newly-elevated were chosen and are being actively promoted by those who see a promotional, thus monetary return for their own entities (nonprofits). For example, look at the conservative nonprofits that claim to be in support of black conservatives and you’ll find well-paid white conservatives running them and unpaid black conservatives being compensated with that “free publicity”. Of course, those white conservatives are the ones who choose who the spokespeople are, regardless of their dubious backgrounds.

Just like liberals.

Like too many online aggregators that find stories real media companies produce, rewrite them and claim to “break” news, these new authorized black conservative spokespersons regurgitate the profound statements of those who were disowned by family members, and in some cases lost livelihoods because they chose not to think as the liberal left demanded they do. These new “black conservative leaders” came from comfortable households and have the luxury of a social media platform to shout out their newfound words of wisdom for those they count on for mutual exploitation.

I do not observe Jackson, Sharpton, Cummings, Lewis, Skip Gates, Maya Angelou, John Lewis, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson-Lee, Don Lemon, Melissa Harris-Perry, Joy Reid or any of the other liberal blacks given a platform to speak with conviction on my behalf. I wasn’t given an opportunity to vote for any one them and their success, given their collective missions, has been a dismal failure if not damaging. They say what their massahs approve and they’ve been afforded comfortable lifestyles as compensation to meet a political end.

See: house nigga

Black conservatives who’ve lost much because of their activism are too numerous to count but their messages have been successfully co-opted: Shelby Steele, Alan Keyes, Herman Cain, Frances Rice, Ward Connerly, Wayne Perriman, Alveda King, Jesse Lee Peterson, Mychal Massie, Roy and Niger Innis, Anita Moncrief, Lynn Swann, Allen West (and many more) and it’s embarrassing that bleeding heart and/or opportunist donor-dollar conservatives have now included Candace Owens (who was a Democrat until very recently and escaped the legendary ghetto of Stamford, Connecticut) and Kanye West in that respected category.

Those now being elevated to black conservative spokesperson status, if we’re to be intellectually consistent, and those elevating them for monetary gain are no different than those on the left.

It’s also clear these nouveau-activists can’t stomach what comes with being a sanctioned leader.

Silencing opposing views. Who does that?

Almost all of the black conservatives mentioned above suffered more than some social media tweaking and never once did it dawn on them to sue to deny the free speech of others, including racist hate speech from so-called progressives. Sad it never occurs to the easily-butt hurt that the easiest way to rid oneself of the Facebook and/or Twitter emotional torment blitzkrieg is turning off the fucking computer.

If we’re to believe that black people can think for themselves, then we don’t need the publicity-seeking telling black people what they should be thinking. If you can’t name an unelected “leader” for any other ethnic group in the United States, maybe there’s a damn good reason for this.

That is, unless you really do think black people can’t think for themselves….
