I hate to say “I told you so,” but the fact is, since early in 2017, I have been writing on these pages (check the archive) that Il Duce Obama and key members of his Administration engaged in criminal activities designed to keep Donald Trump from being elected in 2016, and then to falsify evidence to be used to engineer what led to the Mueller Investigation and the impeachments.   Simply put, Obama, CIA Director John Brennan, DNI James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey, and a host of others conducted a prolonged campaign to deny Trump election, and then to cripple him once he was elected.

I said as much in a series of Frank on Friday postings.  See, Fake News But a Real Coup (3/10/17); Who Were Those Unmasked Men? (3/24/17); Back to the U.S.S.R. (7/14/17); Who Plays the Russia Game? (11/3/17); and Witch Hunt 2.0 (3/8/19).

In a nutshell, these works explored the now thoroughly debunked notion that Trump colluded with Russia to win election.  What became the Russia Collusion Hoax was the brainchild of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee.  They hired law firm Perkins Coie to commission a dossier containing wholly fictional claims of Trump/Russia collusion in the 2016 election.  Millions of dollars changed hands.  The dossier’s author was former British Intelligence agent Christopher Steele.  He later testified under oath that he was unable to prove the veracity of any of its contents.

The CIA knew the dossier was fake, and likely took part in its creation.  The FBI knew that the dossier was underhanded opposition research from a political campaign.  No honest law enforcement official would go anywhere near such crap.  You remember what happened.  Because the Obama Administration’s top officials were thoroughly dishonest, they used the dossier to try to prevent Trump’s election, and then to overthrow his government.

Current CIA Director John Ratcliffe has uncovered and released information proving that Obama, Clapper, Brennan and Comey conspired to “to screw Trump,” by manipulating intelligence and silencing career professionals in the intel community.

Il Duce Obama’s fingerprints are all over this outrage.  Days before he left office in 2017, he authorized the release of raw intelligence to dozens of agencies, thus insuring the flood of leaks that plagued the Trump 45 Administration.  On January 5, 2017, Obama, Biden, Comey and Acting AG Sally Yates met to discuss how to handle the ongoing (fake) Russian Collusion investigation going forward.  Obama, who must have known that the dossier was fake, ordered Comey not to tell Trump, his incoming boss, about the investigation.  This is tantamount to ordering Comey to commit official misconduct.  Comey obliged him.

The Obama Administration issued an Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) in December of 2016.  CIA Director Brennan insisted on including the false information from the dossier in the ICA.  Career professionals at the CIA, including Analysis Director David Cohen, told him that including the dossier “did not meet even the most basic tradecraft standards,” and that its inclusion would undermine the credibility of the report.  Brennan overruled them, and the dossier was featured prominently in the ICA.

FBI Director James Comey also insisted that the dossier be included.  This served two purposes.  Including the false information in the ICA imparted to the dossier credibility that it did not deserve by cloaking it as genuine classified intelligence data.  This enabled Comey to take what he knew was false evidence (by January 2017, the FBI had determined the information could not be corroborated), and use it to get three FISA court warrants to permit the wiretapping of Trump’s telephones before and after the election.

In those warrants, Comey disclosed that the information came from Christopher Steele, but neglected to mention that Steele, who had been a paid FBI source, had been terminated for misconduct, including lying.  Vouching for the credibility of a source who has provided what you know to be false information and who you know was unreliable in the past isn’t merely sloppy police work, it’s criminal.

And then we come to perjury.  John Brennan, you will recall, was the driving force in seeing that the Steele Dossier’s falsehoods were included in the December 2016 ICA.  The problem is that he testified before Congress on May 23, 2017, and swore under oath that “the dossier wasn’t in any way used as the basis for the ICA.”  It’s now clear that was a lie.

For his part, James Clapper has repeatedly maintained that he knew nothing of a Russian collusion investigation.  Ratcliffe’s revelations seemingly put the lie to that story.  Comey has criticized a House Intelligence Committee Report that found there was no evidence supporting a Russian collusion investigation.  He insists there was evidence, and he ought to know, because he created it out of thin air.

The recent information from Ratcliffe proves that the allegations made by me, and a number of other commentators who simply reviewed the facts known as early as 2017 and then applied common sense to those facts, were right on the money.  Donald Trump was the victim of election interference.  This interference wasn’t perpetrated by some shadowy foreign actor, but by the Obama Administration, namely the president, vice-president, the CIA, the FBI, and a number of intelligence agencies, in coordination with British Australian and other intelligence sources.

The conclusion is inescapable.  The very lying, cheating, stealing Democrat hypocrites who constantly lecture us about “threats to our democracy,” themselves perpetrated the single most outrageous and dangerous attack on our form of government since 1807, when Aaron Burr was accused of trying to set up his own new country in what are now the States of Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi.

Much like the Burr conspiracy, the Obama conspiracy sought to overthrow the duly elected government.  18 United States Code section 371 comes to mind.  That law makes it a crime to conspire with others to defraud the United States government by impairing legitimate government operations.

That’s one of the crimes Special Counsel Jack Smith tried to pin on Trump.  In light of the recent Supreme Court decision on a president’s immunity for executive decisions, Obama might skate on that one.  Not so for Clapper, Brennan, and Comey.

Yet I’m not naive.  Aaron Burr beat the treason charge brought against him, and I have no doubt that these crooked pricks also will escape the noose.  The problem is that, until somebody’s ass is thrown in prison, they’re liable to pull the same crap again.
