“In my mind, this is a level of panic and desperation unseen in the annals of Washington D.C. coverups…this is a desperate move by Mueller…this does nothing at all to strengthen Mueller’s investigation of Trump himself. It actually weakens his mandate as Special Counsel”
Mueller: Deep State tool and current Democrat battering ram. The indictment’s timing and its content are obviously tendentious and as fallacious as the whole Mueller probe, a political witch-hunt of the most sordid and dangerous character, no less so because of its target. Trump can be assailed legitimately from the left, but that won’t do for the CIA-infested Democrats.
Rod Rosenstein (DonkeyHotey)
Despite his oh-so-earnest protestations to the contrary, Rod Rosenstein, of all people, knows there are no coincidences in politics.
Trump is on a search and destroy mission all across Europe right now attacking the pillars of the post-WWII institutional order.
While in Washington, Congress devolved into an episode of Jerry Springer during the Peter Strzok hearings yesterday. Both Strzok and Rosenstein have literally destroyed their credibility by stonewalling Congress over the investigations into Hillary Clinton’s email server, which, conveniently Mueller now has enough information to take to the Grand Jury. In my mind, this is a level of panic and desperation unseen in the annals of Washington D.C. coverups. Both Strzok and Rosenstein know that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is completely compromised and can do nothing to stop them from obstructing investigations and turning our justice system into something worse than farce.
And why do I think this is a desperate move by Mueller? Because the indictments go out of their way to preclude any Americans having any involvement in these ‘hacking events’ at all.
“So, the trap is set for the Democrats, Never Trumpers and media to hang Trump next week with whatever agreement he signs with Putin. In fact, at this point Trump could shoot Putin in the face with a concealed Derringer and they’d say he killed Putin to shut him up…”
So, this does nothing at all to strengthen Mueller’s investigation of Trump himself. It actually weakens his mandate as Special Counsel.
The oft-repeated high handed lies are clogging the headlines again. Here’s the always reliable CBS doing its part. Note that in all these reports, while the culpability of Russia remains evidence-free except for accusations originating with the US intel apparatus, the media treats “the Russian meddling in US elections” as a fact.

On the other hand, it does a bang-up job of shifting the news cycle away from Trump’s heavy-handed but effective steam-rolling Germany and the UK over NATO spending, energy policy and Brexit.
Trump continues, in his circuitous way, to stick a fork in the eye of the globalists whose water politicians like Angela Merkel and Theresa May have carried for years. Now with Trump prepared to sit down with Putin and potentially hammer out a major agreement on many outstanding issues like Syria, arms control, NATO’s purpose, energy policy and terrorism the Deep State/Globalist/Davos Crowd needed something to saddle him with to prevent this from happening.
The reasoning will be (if not already out there as I write this) that Trump would be a traitor for sitting down with Putin after these indictments.
These indictments are not of some Russian private citizens Internet trolls like the last batch. These are Russian military intelligence officers. And the irony of this, of course, is that the intelligence officers involved in collating and disseminating demonstrably false information about Trump which led to all this in the first place hail from the country that Trump is currently visiting, the U.K.
So, the trap is set for the Democrats, Never Trumpers and media to hang Trump next week with whatever agreement he signs with Putin. In fact, at this point Trump could shoot Putin in the face with a concealed Derringer and they’d say he killed Putin to shut him up.
There is no rationality left to this circus. And that’s what these indictments represent. This is not about right and wrong, it never was. It is, was and always will be about maintaining power. If this week shows people anything it should show just how far these powerful people will go to maintain that power, pelf and privilege.
Because winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing in politics. Unfortunately, for them, people all over the West are getting tired of it. And the more they smirk, shuck, jive and cry “Point of Order!” the angrier the people will get.
As one of my savvy subscribers said to me this morning, the Strzok hearings are brilliant. They are shifting the Overton Window so far away from the status quo that it will never shift back to where it was.
I’m sure Mueller, et.al. are thinking they are so smart in doing this today. Just like Angela Merkel continues to think she’s survived the challenge to her power and Theresa May hers.
They think they’ve managed these crises.They haven’t. All they are doing is ensuring the next opportunity the people get to rise up against them at the ballot box the worse it will be for them. And if the ballot box doesn’t work, then pitchforks and torches come out.
It is the way of things. It has happened before and it will happen again.
Those in power and their quislings in the media and the legislatures continue to decry this growing sense of unfairness as dangerous. Terms like isolationist, conspiracy theorist, nativist and racist are all used as bludgeons to shame people for feeling outraged at the corruption they see with their own eyes.
The problem for people like Strzok, Rosenstein and Mueller is that they are simply expendable pawns. And when the time is right they will be sacrificed to ensure the real perpetrators walk without a scratch.
BELOW WE ARE POSTING SOME COMMENTS WE BELIEVE ARE OF SPECIAL INTEREST AND ACUITY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS DANGEROUS AND TURBULENT SITUATION.

“Make It Yourself Like A Good Chap, Will You?”
Whatever you think of Tarantino, this scene from Inglorious Basterds (2009) with Mike Myers and Michael Fassbender, the German-Irish actor, is one to remember. Using perfect mannerisms, Myers almost steals the scene as a central-casting variation on the typically upper-class British officer, while Fassbender holds his own as a self-assured refined Royal Marine being tasked with an intriguing mission.
