The Reckoning

She's A'Comin'

Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia: “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”
Dr. Benjamin Franklin: “A republic--if you can keep it.”-- notes of Dr. James McHenry, Maryland delegate to the Constitutional Convention, Sept. 17, 1787

Roger Simon:

"When Justice Department official Bruce Ohr testified before the House Judiciary and Oversight committees on Tuesday, no actual Democrat congressmen or women showed up.  They likely would claim it wasn't necessary. This was all old hat and there was no there there.

The opposite is true.  There's plenty there -- to wit, the potential weaponization of the FBI, and by extension the Department of Justice, to prevent the presidency of Donald Trump and later to undermine it.

Whether you like Trump or not, if true, that's nothing short of sabotage of American democracy as we know it, the Sovietization of the prosecutorial wings of our legal system.  But never mind.  When party politics is involved, best to ignore it.  What Ohr knows about who, what, where, why,  when  and how the nefarious Steele dossier was conceived and then promulgated --  to the FBI, media and even to the supposedly sacrosanct FISA court -- is, at least to those congressional Democrats, of no consequence.

But not to those of us who actually care about this country, not just holding onto power and/or upending the dreaded Donald by any means necessary, ends justifying means.".......

When Hillary Clinton obstructed justice and committed perjury before the Whitewater grand jury, there was no real pushback. Because there was no pushback, by 2016 the entire FBI leadership  is assisting in her in obstruction of justice, destroying evidence for her and helping her to lie successfully to the government.

When the Clintons sold military secrets to the Chinese and pardons on the way out the door, there was no real pushback. Because there was no real pushback, the Clintons built a worldwide Bribery Empire, selling foreign policy out of the back door of the State Dept., payable at the Clinton Foundation, such as the Uranium One deal for Putin.

And when Hillary Clinton used the FBI to frame an innocent man, the Travel Office's Billy Dale, there was no real pushback. Because there was no real pushback, fast forward to 2016 and  Obama and Clinton are using the entire National Security Apparatus as an arm of the DNC to frame Donald Trump. 

And the frame-up continues unabated to this day in the Mueller Fraud, which is more about keeping Obama out of jail than putting Trump in it. It has gone on for four years now since the CIA began wiretapping and framing Donald Trump. Maybe longer. Absent Bob Barr, Mueller would have gone on for another decade.

There has to be A Reckoning.

Without a Reckoning, history shows us it will happen again--and even worse the next time.

The election of President Trump was in itself a kind of reckoning, but it is not enough. This is bigger than the personalities involved. One day, today's politicians will be gone and Americans will still be faced with the question: Are we a country that lets the Deep State sabotage our elections and wiretap our campaigns for Democrats? And like the ongoing Big Tech Shadow-Ban Censorship, it is always against the Right only.

This is about whether or not the Deep State Election-Rigging will be normalized or not.

This goes even beyond the usual Democrat vote fraud. That is using fraudulent people to gain control of the Government. This is about using fraudulent government to gain control of the People.

Not a single Democrat came to question Bruce Ohr. That says to me they are perfectly at ease with a seditious conspiracy to rig elections--as long as it is their team doing it. It tells me if they ever gain power again, they will do it again--and even more. After eight years of Clinton corruption, eight years of Bush indifference, eight years of Obama radicalism and two more years of Trump Derangement Syndrome, D.C. Democrats (and Uni-Party Republicans) have become "normalized' to Deep State sedition.

If President Trump did to his political opponents any of the crimes that were (and still are) being committed against him, Democrats would howl until the moon fell out of the sky.

Inserting spies into campaigns. Allowing "contractors", private opposition research firms, to paw through all of the government's top secret NSA files on behalf of the Clinton Campaign (not to mention their Russian clients!). That's how Nellie Ohr put the wrong Michael Cohen in Prague. Weaponizing the CIA for partisan politics. The FBI. The State Department. The DOJ. The NSC. And the Perma-Blob Bureaucracy.

This cannot go by the boards. This is not "boys will be boys". A House Redacted Against ****** Cannot Stand. This two-tiered "Justice" System--one for the Clinton/Obama Machine and illegal aliens, another for everybody else--must end. Either we expose, punish and reject this Deep State Sedition, or we lose our democratic Constitutional Republic. 

One way or the other, there will be a Reckoning. Either the Obama/Clinton Junta is held accountable now, or at some point, the Swamp will go full-Police State, having met no pushback today. They took great pains to hide their sedition this time. Next time, they might not even bother.

Free and fair elections are how we settle things instead of using violence. If I know you have rejected free and fair elections in favor of Police State election-tampering, then I must never allow you to gain power again, and "by any means necessary". Then we've reached the end of the political consensus that allows for a democratic Constitutional Republic. We couldn't keep it, Dr. Franklin.

Step away from the Abyss, people and come back to your Constitution. That's what it's there for. And we need it now more than ever.

Mark Steyn: Deep-State Dumpster Fire: "And, notwithstanding Mueller closing up shop, the most disturbing questions remain: Forget the Russian trolls and Macedonian content farmers; this is a story not of foreign subversion of the election, but of domestic subversion of the election, by powerful figures able to reach out and entrap its marks at Cambridge conferences and London wine bars. In old-school banana republics, the coup happens quickly: "The rebels have seized control of the radio station," as the BBC's Africa bureaus used to announce every fortnight through the Sixties, and next thing you know this week's president-for-life is being carried out by the handles. But in America everything's more protracted and expensive. That, however, should not blind us to what happened: a cabal of Deep State bigwigs reverse-engineered a foreign cover for their own interference in self-government by the people. Show me the man and I'll show you the crime, boasted Beria. America's Berias aren't quite that good yet, but they're getting there ... 

Trump Tweeted his way out of the Deep State's grip. I doubt any other Republican president would have proved so wily: It's not difficult to imagine President Jeb deciding to do the right thing and resign for the good of the country - without ever being able to figure what it was he'd done wrong. We have witnessed an extraordinary sustained attempted coup in which senior officials of the "justice" department shoot the breeze about wearing a wire to get the goods on the elected chief executive. If there are no consequences to that, it will happen again."...….

Transparency? Sure. Let’s see the first Scope Memo.
Also the second CYA-Scope Memo. Let’s see the CrowdStrike Report,
since we were supposed to go to war with Russia over this private document.
Let’s see the Perkins/Coie payments made to avoid the Clinton campaign paying
Agent Steele directly. Let’s see an audit of the Clinton Foundation.
And the originating memo for "Operation: Crossfire Hurricane".

And let’s see the questions Mueller asked Dastardly RUSSIAN Super-Spy Carter Page.
Let's see the evidence. He was said to be so dangerous, we had to take
the unprecedented step of wiretapping a presidential campaign.
FOUR TIMES the FISA Court said "Wiretap this dangerous RUSSIAN Super-Agent!".  
Yet Mueller let him go without a care.

Yeah–let’s get some transparency. Stat.
