Russia gate?

[Anler]

Remember "Russia-gate"? Where Putin personally got Trump elected? We hardly hear a whiff about it any longer. Why? It was bogus from the word "go," writes Justin Raimondo at the link. If the Democrats - prime purveyors of the lie - really believed in it, why no campaign ads on it? Why none? Because Russia-gate has always been a fraud, a setup, and really a criminal conspiracy to take down a sitting US President on the basis of a gigantic lie.

 

Whatever Happened to the Russia-gate ‘Scandal’?

After all the screaming headlines and hysterical talk of “treason,” the Russia-gate hoax was almost entirely absent from the midterms. One would think that the other party being in the hands of a ruthless foreign dictator who has it in for America would be a major campaign issue – that is, if the Democrats actually believed their own propaganda. However, we’ve seen neither hide nor hair of Putin in all those campaign ads, or at least hardly a glance: that’s because Russia-gate has always been a fraud, a setup, and really a criminal conspiracy to take down a sitting US President on the basis of a gigantic lie.

As the promulgators of that lie are exposed – the Deep State amalgam that includes foreign intelligence agencies as well as Trump’s domestic opponents – Democrats are backing away from what has suddenly become, for them, a very messy narrative. For what has happened is that the narrative has turned on them, and now implicates them in a massive scheme to embroil the Trump campaign in a web of foreign influencers.

The campaign to penetrate the Trump campaign appears to have been initiated abroad as much as it was started by the Clinton campaign – who inherited the operation from a very mysterious Republican donor after the GOP primaries. The “former” MI6 agent Christopher Steele, now working for an ostensibly independent spy network, didn’t consider the job of digging up dirt on Trump just a normal job: he was passionately dedicated to stopping Trump from ever reaching the White House. One can easily impute the same motivations to the little group that took it upon themselves to break into the Trump campaign and put it under surveillance, all of them attached to British intelligence:
 

- Cambridge professor and foreign policy maven Stefan Halper, with longtime connections to MI6 and the CIA, who made a point of approaching the Trump campaign early on and offering his “services.” He later cultivated George Papadoupoulos, a low-level aide to the campaign then living in London.

 

- Sir Richard Dearlove, the former head of MI6, who advised the spy ring and helped pass their information to US government authorities, is very close to Halper.
 

- “Professor” Joseph Mifsud, a mysterious figure who first introduced target George Pappadoupolos to the idea that the Russians had incriminating material on Hillary Clinton, and who has since mysteriously disappeared (although his lawyer seems to know where he is).
 

- Alexander Downer, formerly Australia’s ambassador to the UK, arranged to meet a low level Trump advisor in a London bar and reportedly learned about Mifsud’s contention. Downer went to the FBI, and Operation Regime Change, Washington, was launched.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg: the “intelligence community” has its tentacles everywhere, and while this has always been the case today our spooks are getting more brazen than ever before. As an indication of their evolution from government agencies charged with protecting the country into a coherent and very organized political force, a good number of these former agents ran as Democratic candidates for Congress on a platform of hurt feelings. "As someone who is from the intelligence community," former spook and Democratic congressional candidate Elissa Slotkin whines, "it is worrisome the way that President Trump has demonized the institutions where people are working hard every day to keep us safe." The American reverence for the military doesn’t extend to the clandestine services: the public knows too much about their history of dirty tricks, assassinations, and regime-change antics abroad to trust them much on the home front.

Slotkin’s lament is part and parcel of the great ideological shift when it comes to matters of national security: it is the Democrats who are now the party of militarism, which is the natural corollary of the globalist mentality that drives the “progressive” agenda. These candidates, however, are operating at a disadvantage, as Russia-gate proves to be a mirage and Robert Mueller continues to produce a bunch of low-level indictments that have nothing to do with Russian “collusion.”

The polling on the Russia-gate “scandal” puts it somewhere between the 49th and the 100th concern of voters, a number that dramatizes the great gulf that has opened up between ordinary folks and the political class. The former are barely aware of Russia-gate: even now, all knowledge of it is fading from their memories. The latter have been obsessed with Russia-gate for two solid years – and now, when the narrative has all but fallen apart and the only people left at the party are Louise Mensch and some guy who keeps saying “It’s time for some game theory!”, will once respectable outlets like The New Yorker admit that they have covered themselves in shame?

He'll the left wing minion's held onto the narrative even after reading the wiki leaks emails......talk about dense.

[Edmo]

I’m so glad trump got elected. A lot of this stuff is coming out now. Obama is out there bragging about how his admin had no indictments. What a fucking joke. The “17 agencies” BS was a turning point for me. Nothing like having the FBI and DOJ in your back pocket to craft a fine narrative.

Agree and kudos for a proper thread start!

We vote tomorrow and nothing has changed with the majority of the disconnected systems we use to tabulate those votes.  The whole narrative was an insurance policy that ultimately didn't pay out but it certainly showed the populous who buyers and beneficiaries of that policy would have been and low and behold its entrenched career Govt from both sides of the isle.

It is interesting that Trump hasn't made this a cornerstone of his recent speeches and never went public with the FISA documents.  Some deal was made there.

If it wasn't at first, by the third narrative shift...everybody should have seen what was happening....even half brained squids.

Russians:

1.) Hacked election

2.) Colluded with Trump

3.) Awwww....they just "meddled".

You think the collision narrative would have seen the light of day of hillary won? Lol nope 

[Cold War]

These people are truly insane.  A female reporter, on ABC ,this afternoon was reporting on the importance of Dems taking the House.  “They can finally investigate Trump on his taxes & Russian collusion resulting in the impeachment of the president. “. 

These fuck heads are still believing they will take trump out and insert Hillary.   

I hope they get shellacked!!!!

The tears and stunned media will be beyond epic.

It's pretty amazing to watch.  Because Mueller didn't have full autonomy to do all this I guess.  The Mueller investigation will be swept aside and the new narrative of "Now we're really gonna get to the bottom of why we lost" will start to swoon the masses....and they'll eat it up.  "Trump tax returns" searches will break Google
