										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why has the Democrat-media and their left been on the offensive#Resistance against Donald Trump ever since he won the Republican nomination, the presidency and ever since? Yes, it’s because they can’t accept the fact someone they didn’t authorize won the hearts and minds of Americans they failed to dissuade.</p>
<p>But also because there was a lot of, dare I use the word, treasonous activity committed by those who believed they’d never be caught had Hillary Clinton won, and are now praying liberal media interference will keep their pasty, fat asses out of prison.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Comey, Brennan, Clapper" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/ComeyBrennanClapper.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-128064 size-medium" title="Comey, Brennan, Clapper" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/ComeyBrennanClapper-150x87.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/ComeyBrennanClapper-150x87.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/ComeyBrennanClapper-768x448.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/ComeyBrennanClapper-500x292.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/ComeyBrennanClapper.jpg 885w" alt="" width="150" height="87" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">It is now clear that <strong>elements within the FBI, the CIA, the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the State Department were actively working against the Trump campaign, and that these elements continued to work against President Donald Trump’s administration following his surprise win</strong>.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Immediately following Trump’s victory, <strong>these efforts focused on two specific fronts: hobbling the effectiveness of Trump’s newly formed administration and simultaneously working toward his impeachment</strong>. Complicit in this effort was the mainstream media, which almost gleefully promoted story after story full of half-truths and partial facts.</span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">—</span> <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/the-spygate-scandal-what-we-learned-in-2018_2749912.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Epoch Times, 12/27/18</a></p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Resist.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-132346 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Resist-150x88.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Resist-150x88.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Resist-768x448.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Resist-500x292.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Resist.jpg 800w" alt="" width="150" height="88" /></a>Keeping the liberal sheep distracted and angry is all the left and their media has, also knowing once the truth comes out, a very important question will be asked: How much of this did the media know and why did they take it upon themselves to be accomplices to what’s in essence a coup d’état?</p>
<p>And if the media admits they were totally hoodwinked by rogue elements within the FBI, CIA, DOJ and State Department, then what fucking good are they?</p>
<p>Everything appears to be still riding on the never-ending Mueller investigation and that’s NOT a good card to be relying on.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Robert Mueller" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Mueller.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-132344 size-thumbnail" title="Robert Mueller" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Mueller-100x100.jpg" sizes="(max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Mueller-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Mueller-125x125.jpg 125w" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">The Mueller investigation has proven to be an emotional issue and a source of concern for many. But there are some potentially reassuring facts for those concerned the special counsel is acting out of bounds. Mueller’s investigation has exhibited a common theme: influence peddling and FARA violations. And the majority of his investigations, such as the one into Paul Manafort, relate to events preceding Trump. <strong>Thus far, there have been no allegations of collusion in any of the Mueller indictments relating to the president.</strong></span></p>
<p>Remember, the Democrat left and ALL of their allies have assured their consumers and donors that President Trump worked in cahoots with the Russians to change the minds of rational Americans into voting against Hillary Clinton.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Christopher Steele" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Christopher-Steele.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-132345 size-thumbnail" title="Christopher Steele" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Christopher-Steele-100x100.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Christopher-Steele-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Christopher-Steele-125x125.jpg 125w" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">Christopher Steele, British national and former MI6 agent, admitted in a </span></strong><strong><a href="https://twt-media.washtimes.com/media/misc/2018/12/13/Steele_August_filing.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">recent court filing</a></strong><span style="color: #808080;"><strong> that he was hired for the purpose of providing information that would allow Hillary Clinton to challenge the validity of the 2016 election.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>The </strong></span><strong><a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/four-major-blows-to-the-credibility-of-the-steele-dossier_2742976.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Steele dossier</a> <span style="color: #808080;">was used by both the FBI and the CIA, and a summary of the document was provided directly to President Barack Obama. And yet, for all the weight attached to this document, most of its assertions have never been proven to be factual, many have been proven to be false, and it remains unverified to this day.</span></strong></p>
<p><strong><a title="Robert Mueller and His Prosecutors: Who They Are and What They’ve Done" href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/11/30/us/mueller-investigation-team-prosecutors.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-132349 size-medium" title="Robert Mueller and His Prosecutors: Who They Are and What They’ve Done" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Mueller-team-150x160.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Mueller-team-150x160.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Mueller-team-768x817.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Mueller-team-500x532.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Mueller-team.jpg 1200w" alt="" width="150" height="160" /></a></strong>Armed with the best investigative law team taxpayer money can buy, all Mueller’s “team” been able to do is kick in the doors of the homes of lower level federal and campaign employees, break them into plea bargaining to charges that have NOTHING to do with Russian collusion <em>(because it never happened)</em>; and some of these charges pertain to rarely-enforced “crimes” that preceded any direct affiliation with Donald Trump, his campaign, transition team or administration.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">The investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, which began in May 2017, began to return indictments, but has noticeably failed to produce any evidence of collusion on the part of the Trump campaign. <strong>Each indictment from Mueller has specifically noted there was no collusion on the part of any American citizen.</strong></span></p>
<p>The truth ALWAYS comes out and when it does, the same indifferent lack of mercy should be shown to these people. The same level of mercy that’s resulted in some having to sell off their assets in order to obtain legal representation on par with the FBI and/or DOJ, not to mention going to jail for things Democrats were offered immunity for after doing much worse.</p>
<p>We should also not let the likes of ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, the New York Times, Washington Post, Politico, The Hill, Newsweek, TIME, as well as MoveOn, the ACLU, Democratic AGs or any of the other liberal nonprofits that pushed the “Russian collusion” hoax to a semi-trusting American people solely for the purpose of initially damaging and ultimately impeaching a sitting president off the hook. This should also include all those presently investigating the president, knowing he did nothing wrong and still want to damage him politically just because they can.</p>

<p>Yes, lock them all up and throw away the keys.</p>

<p>Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation, and most everyone around them were afforded immunity or friendly agreements from the Obama DOJ despite the stench that&#8217;s been growing from new revelations.</p>

Jason Chaffetz, who chaired the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee until 2017 and is now a Fox News contributor said, was to <strong>&#8220;make sure they hear no evil, see no evil &#8212; they had no interest in pursuing the truth.&#8221;</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Chaffetz added that the DOJ&#8217;s behavior, including its award of immunity to top Clinton aides early on in the investigation, signaled a clear double standard: <strong>&#8220;They didn&#8217;t go make a deal with anyone in Trump&#8217;s orbit. They seized it. They used guns and agents &#8212; and just went in there and took it.&#8221;</strong></span><br />

<p>Meanwhile, anyone associated with Donald Trump&#8217;s campaign has been financially damaged, prosecuted and even imprisoned and afforded no such soft cushion. In some cases, those in the Trump orbit were hassled even though partisan investigators knew these people did nothing wrong.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Page.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-588 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Page-127x150.jpg" alt="" width="127" height="150" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Page-127x150.jpg 127w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Page-500x591.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Page.jpg 660w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 127px) 100vw, 127px" /></a>If President Trump declassifies evidence in the Russia investigation, Carter Page’s summer bike ride to a Virginia farm and George Papadopoulos’s hasty academic jaunt to London may emerge as linchpin proof of FBI surveillance abuses during the 2016 election. The two trips have received scant attention. But <strong>growing evidence suggests both Trump campaign advisers made exculpatory statements</strong> — at the very start of the FBI’s investigation — that undercut the Trump-Russia collusion theory peddled to agents by Democratic sources.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: #808080;">The FBI plowed ahead anyway with an unprecedented intrusion into a presidential campaign, while keeping evidence of the two men’s innocence from the courts.</span></strong></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Multiple FBI officials have testified that the Christopher Steele dossier <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/420408-comeys-confession-dossier-not-verified-before-or-after-fisa-warrant" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">had not been verified</a> when its allegations were submitted as primary evidence supporting the FISA warrant against Page. We know the FBI failed to tell the courts that Steele admitted to a federal official that he was <a href="https://insider.foxnews.com/2018/02/02/fisa-memo-christopher-steele-admitted-he-was-desperate-trump-not-get-elected" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">desperate to defeat Trump</a> in the 2016 election and was being paid by <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/clinton-campaign-dnc-paid-for-research-that-led-to-russia-dossier/2017/10/24/226fabf0-b8e4-11e7-a908-a3470754bbb9_story.html?utm_term=.72bf4787df1b" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee</a> (DNC) to gather dirt on the GOP candidate.</span><br />

<p>It doesn&#8217;t give much confidence of the fairness of the criminal justice system when law enforcement feels free to investigate and pressure people they know are innocent just because they can.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><a href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Bernard-Kerik.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-598 size-thumbnail" title="Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik " src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Bernard-Kerik-100x100.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="100" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Bernard-Kerik-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Bernard-Kerik-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Bernard-Kerik-500x500.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Bernard-Kerik-125x125.jpg 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/Bernard-Kerik.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px" /></a>The agents themselves, the lower level level agents at the Department of Justice, there has to be a sort of retraining. <strong>You can’t suborn perjury. You can’t suppress evidence. You can’t extort false testimony from witnesses through intimidation and threats. This is stuff that we’re seeing now constantly all the time.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">We have a political system that has weaponized our criminal justice system for selective and political prosecutions. <strong>There is no greater threat to our government than a country that uses its criminal justice system to selectively and politically prosecute people.</strong> This isn’t Russia or China or Iran. That’s exactly what happens over there. It’s not supposed to happen here.</span><br />

<p>We all know it happens on the state and local level, but if you are a Republican and can have your life destroyed just because vindictive Democrats have the power and desire to  do so, they our nation is in more trouble than we think.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you didn’t think the so-called #DeepState isn’t scared shitless about the possibility that President Trump may soon declassify all documents relating to the Russian collusion ruse, remember: only they are allowed to screw people’s lives and even send anyone they want to prison. It’s not supposed to happen to THEM and now that it’s a distinct possibility, they are fighting back to save their arrogant, fat and comfortable asses.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">This is the first time the <strong>DOJ has explicitly made this argument implying personal peril for the president, since interference could open Trump to charges of obstruction of justice</strong>. Until now, the department has argued that declassifying the documents threatened national security.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">In the </span><a href="https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5013785/Show-Temp.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">178-page</a><a href="https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5013785/Show-Temp.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> co</a><a href="https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5013785/Show-Temp.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">urt</a><a href="https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5013785/Show-Temp.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> document</a><span style="color: #808080;">, 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.”</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-116836 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/DoJustUs-150x150.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/DoJustUs-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/DoJustUs-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/DoJustUs-125x125.jpg 125w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/DoJustUs.jpg 494w" alt="" width="150" height="150" />That rationale has heightened suspicions among congressional investigators that <strong>the special counsel is being used to prevent the disclosure of possible FBI abuses and crimes committed during the Russia probe</strong>.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">“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.  <strong>“If Trump fires Mueller, or Rosenstein, or declassifies documents [embarrassing to the FBI] it’s likely to bring an obstruction charge.”</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">And that would mean double jeopardy for Trump. <strong>“Obstruction is the instrument the Democrats are likely to use to impeach Trump if they win the House,”</strong> said the congressional source.</span><br />

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On May 17, 2017, Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein signed <a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/73/Appointment_of_Special_Counsel_to_Investigate_Russian_Interference_with_the_2016_Presidential_Election_and_Related_Matters.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Order 3915-2017</a> and the Mueller investigation into Donald Trump’s campaign colluding with the Russians in an effort to help defeat his presidential opponent, Hillary Rodham Clinton, was off to the races. In an attempt to prove to the intellectually superior, progressive butt-hurts who knew there was no way Hillary could have been beaten, upwards of $10 million taxpayer dollars will be spent, despite the fact the obvious is staring them all right in the face: <strong>Trump campaign “collusion” with the Russians didn’t happen.</strong></p>
<p><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" title="Democrat-Russian collusion" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Dem-Russian-collusion.jpg" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-123637 size-medium" title="Democrat-Russian collusion" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Dem-Russian-collusion-150x137.jpg" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Dem-Russian-collusion-150x137.jpg 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Dem-Russian-collusion-768x703.jpg 768w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Dem-Russian-collusion-500x458.jpg 500w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Dem-Russian-collusion.jpg 900w" alt="" width="150" height="137" /></a>Think about all the things these liberal Democrats did, fully expecting Hillary to win, figuring the American people would never know… ever. So let’s forget being polite and call this what it was: a coup attempt.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>The wrongdoing probably includes attempting to warp a U.S. election, Russian collusion, repeatedly misleading and lying before the FISA courts, improperly surveilling American citizens, unmasking the names of citizens swept up in unlawful surveillance and then illegally leaking them to the press, disseminating and authenticating opposition smears during a political campaign, lying under oath to Congress, obstructing ongoing investigations, using federal funds to purchase ad hominem gossip against a presidential candidate, blatant conflicts of interests, weaponizing federal investigations, trafficking in and leaking classified information.</strong></span><br />

<p>You’d think we’d know liberals by now.</p>
<p>Wholesale, the media will NEVER admit they were very wrong because, aside from their fragile sense of intellectual superiority, many have a lot to lose with any admission… like their freedom.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;"><strong>#DrainTheSwamp</strong></span></h2>

For some, it’s all about the power one can amass in the right job. With that climb to the top comes a lifestyle that revolves around some of <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2013/12/12/the-d-c-suburbs-dominate-the-list-of-wealthiest-u-s-counties/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">wealthiest counties</a> in the nation, meaning these people have a lot to lose if they get busted and they will eagerly use the power of the United States government to keep that from happening.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;">Too Big to Believe</span></h2>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><a class="cb-lightbox fs-lightbox-element" href="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/FBI-black-band.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-124716 size-medium" src="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/FBI-black-band-150x155.png" sizes="auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" srcset="https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/FBI-black-band-150x155.png 150w, https://www.blackandblondemedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/FBI-black-band.png 400w" alt="" width="150" height="155" /></a><span style="color: #808080;">Something is happening now at the FBI, with the Washington wagons circling the agency to protect it from charges of corruption. This time, the appropriate tag line is “too big to believe.” <strong>Yet each day brings credible reports suggesting there is a massive scandal involving the top ranks of America’s premier law enforcement agency. The reports, which feature talk among agents of a “secret society” and suddenly missing text messages, point to the existence both of a cabal dedicated to defeating Donald Trump in 2016 and of a plan to let Hillary Clinton skate free in the classified email probe.</strong></span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">If either one is true — and I believe both probably are — it would mean FBI leaders betrayed the nation by abusing their powers in a bid to pick the president. Talk about irony. While Dems and the left-wing media already found Trump guilty of collusion before Mueller was appointed, the real scandal might be the conduct of the probers themselves.</span><br />

Yes, it would be nice to hear media reports of FBI agents kicking in the door of the Comey household at 4:30am, as well as some of the other known operatives involved in the Fusion GPS-produced “dossier”.</p>
<p>It would be nice to see so many of these people go through what they put Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn through: have to hire pricey lawyers to defend themselves against a government that won’t have to deplete bank accounts or refinance a home just to fend off ambitious career government employees eyeing an office one or two floors up and the generous taxpayer-funded pay raises that come with them.</p>

However, they are virtually never charged with false statements by their colleagues. There is no such reluctance in using this easily charged crime against targets outside of the department.</span></p>

<p>Going back, Robert Mueller presided over an FBI that had no problem sending the innocent to prison as long as they got what they wanted. The now-infamous Whitey Bulger-Winter Hill gang bungle is a prime example.</p>

Thanks to the FBI’s corruption, taxpayers got stuck with the $100 million bill for compensating the framed men, two of whom, Louis Greco and Henry Tameleo, died in prison.</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Four years ago, <strong>when questioned about the FBI’s corruption in Boston, Mueller told the Globe, “I think the public should recognize that what happened, happened years ago.”</strong></span></p>

<p>Meanwhile money bag-agitators like George Soros have lost millions <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2017/01/12/soros-may-have-lost-1b-during-trump-rally.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">betting against Trump economics</a> while pumping up nonprofits resisting his agenda and hasn’t lost his shirt.</p>

<p>But money also has a way of making donors less tolerant of lame excuses.</p>
<p>After all of the months of incessant Trump-colluded-with-the-Russians recitations and it’s officially announced it never happened, do you expect these activist nonprofits <em>(some of whom sent out hundreds of email solicitations for donations)</em> admit they were stupid enough to believe this, despite the “dossier” being debunked months ago and STILL no smoking gun?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;"><strong>Russian Meddling Didn’t Decide the Election</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #808080;">The fact that Russian agents fomented both pro- and anti-Trump rallies after the election shows that discord, not a Trump victory, was their only goal all along.</span><br />

When he won the Republican presidential nomination, they assured us he never win the presidency, especially against someone as formidable as Hillary Clinton. When Donald Trump became president-elect, the media blamed bad polls as their excuse for misreading the dissatisfaction of the American voter; not the entitled laziness of a visible sick-and-tired Hillary… that is until they could blame it all on The Russians!</p>
<p>When forced, the media fails miserably to substantiate their 24/7 declarations of Trump campaign guilt.</p>

<p>Network and cable news have spent millions or man hours on story after story with them making declarative statements as to the guilt of candidate and President Donald Trump in “colluding” with the Russians to yank the election from Hillary’s rightful grasp. They’ve had no smoking gun or anything aside from the opinions of pundits who craved the television facetime and would say anything to get invited back on. The more anti-Trump the better. Mention the Russians or the phrase “threat to our democracy” and someone will get your number before you leave the set so they can have you back on soon.</p>

<p>Andrew McCabe IS not eligible for food stamps as his estimated net worth is <a href="http://www.vipnetworth.co/andrew-mccabe-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">around $11 million</a>. How does that happen on a civil servant paycheck, and if he has those kind of assets, why was he so worried about losing taxpayer-funded, legacy benefits?</p>
<p>Because bad things are not supposed to happen to the government career.</p>

<p>… and again had Hillary won, we would have know about none of this and that’s what the #DeepState counted on.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;">UPDATE</span></h2>
<p>The release of the Mueller report was (according to various media reports) supposed to be released, will be released this week, may be released next week&#8230; who knows when it will be released? But the left is beginning to sweat because after the years to accusing President Trump of colluding with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton, the fact it never happened will soon be made public.</p>
<p>And we all know if there was proof of &#8220;collusion&#8221;, it would&#8217;ve been leaked to the media months ago and impeachment proceedings would have officially begun after Democrats reclaimed control of the House.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s beginning to look like there won&#8217;t be enough eggs for politicians, pundits, and media faces to go around.</p>

<p>Aside from the seditious perpetrated shenanigans within the alphabet agencies, we can only hope #FakeNews isn&#8217;t the only thing they&#8217;ll rightfully have to endure for years to come as the media will have slandered a sitting president for years, without proof for years.</p>
<p>Those within the #swamp who attempted to overturn the results of a presidential election must be made a very harsh example of because we all know, once the Democrat left feels they can get away with something, they WILL do it again until they get the results they find acceptable.</p>
<h2><span style="color: #ff9900;">Fait <b>Accompli</b></span></h2>
<p>The long-anticipated Mueller report was delivered to Attorney General William Barr and the left didn&#8217;t get what they all assumed they&#8217;d get: proof of Russian collusion with Donald Trump to deny Hillary Clinton her assumed presidential victory.</p>

<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">2. There were no major disagreements between Mueller and his managers at the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).</span></p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">3. The Russians who tried to interfere in the 2016 election were exposed and charged — but no American was charged with any effort to conspire with Moscow and hijack the election.</span></p>

<p>Of course, Democrats and their media will not let an exoneration squelch the false accusation and narrative fed to the American people for over two years.</p>

<p>They&#8217;ll never let go of the &#8220;collusion&#8221; accusation they&#8217;ve based their damaged reputations on&#8230; again.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;"><span style="color: #808080;">Now, Mueller’s investigations leave one major mission unfinished: <strong>meting out justice to the intelligence, congressional, FBI and DOJ officials who appear to have used a political dirty trick to falsely weave an unproven narrative of Russia collusion.</strong></span></p>
<p>There is a two-tier justice system. One for all of us and one for the Democrat-protected. Until we see otherwise, this is the new normal.</p>
