Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
And so now along comes Andy McCabe, former Number Two at the FBI, publicizing his new book, The Threat: How the FBI Protects America in the Age of Terror and Trump, on this Sunday’s CBS 60-Minutes show, confirming what I said on this blog two years ago — that the Deep State would try to run over the Golden Golem of Greatness with the 25th Amendment.
The specter of Mr. Trump entrained by the nuclear “football” — the briefcase with launch codes for World War Three — gave US Intel communitarians such a case of the heebie-jeebies that they first sought desperately to impede his election by unlawful means and, failing in that, concocted a fog of Russian collusion conspiracy to cover up all that and much more nastiness emanating from the Hillary Clinton orbit.
It’s been the opinion here at CFN that Mr. McCabe and a long list of DOJ / FBI / and Intel employees would eventually be summoned to grand juries on charges ranging from lying to their Internal Affairs colleagues all the way to sedition. Those worms now seem to be turning. Both house and senate committees investigating the Russia narrative declared that they turned up no evidence for it. And late this week, William Barr was confirmed as a new Attorney General, meaning the extreme case of bureaucratic constipation in that department may be resolving in a shitstorm of counter-revelations and prosecutions in what amounted to an attempted coup d’etat. A lot of the evidence for that is already public and overwhelming. It includes:
- Using FBI counter-intelligence assets improperly and illegally.
- Using fabricated “opposition research” provided by Mrs. Clinton to obtain warrants to spy on her election opponent, and failing to verify it as evidence (according to strict “Woods” procedures) submitted to FISA court judges.
- Recruiting Britain’s MI6 to spy on US citizens as a work-around from US laws prohibiting US Intel from spying on Americans.
- Setting up the notorious Trump Tower meeting to entrap Donald Trump Jr., using a Russian lawyer, Natalia Veselnitskaya, in the employ of Fusion GPS, Mrs. Clintons oppo research contractor.
- Orchestrating leaks of secret FBI proceedings to the news media to feed a Russia collusion hysteria.
- Malicious prosecutions by Special Counsel Robert Mueller and egregious political conflicts-of-interest among Mr. Mueller’s team of prosecutors.
- Coverup of the Uranium One scheme facilitated by Robert Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
- A scheme to surreptitiously and illegally record conversations with Mr. Trump once he became president.
- Conspiring to bury multiple inquires into illegal conduct of Mrs. Clinton, her employees and associates by failing to obtain evidence and allowing it to be destroyed.
- Misconduct in office by former CIA chief John Brennan, former National Security Director James Clapper, former AG Loretta Lynch, and members of President Obama’s White House inner circle.
These matters and a lot more have deserved official attention that was bypassed during the peculiar DOJ regime of former AG Jeff Sessions — and now some light may be about to shine on them. The Trump “resistance” already seems demoralized by the collapse of the Russia collusion story, which had been the centerpiece of their impeachment hopes. Several reconstituted house committees under the new Democratic Party chairs, have pledged to keep mining that vein of fool’s gold to keep the hysteria alive long enough for the 2020 elections. But what will happen in the meantime as their enablers are dragged into courts of law to answer for their roguery? My guess is that it will drive the “resistance” to new depths of delusion and, eventually, derision, as its narrative cloak gets shredded in public testimony and their audacious mendacity is revealed. The heat from these future events may be so intense and disruptive that it will interfere with the 2020 election.

There is only 1 way to fix this, most don’t have the stomach for it.
A public hanging is largely a bloodless event that never fails to amuse the witnessing crowd.
Greenupsburg, Kentucky, was once known for having their pubic hangings on Sunday, after the churches let out. You got to picnic and eat fried chicken while observing justice being administered via a hemp rope and a thousand year old elm tree!
Here’s Pretty Polly, a song written in Greenup County about a man who ultimately meet his untimely end from a limb of that old tree.
Fuck, Q put all of this out years ago.
Funny that, hell of a LARP, eh?
The nuclear weapons HOAX finds its way into pretty much every national security story,
even otherwise good stories like this one.
OT- Drumpf declares a national emergency on the BOOB TUBE around 11am EST.
What isn’t a hoax?
Bring it.
Alinsky Rule: “Accuse your opponent of what only you are doing, as you are doing it, to create confusion…” There has been significant Russian Collusion, aka treason but it was by the Dems, especially the Clinton Cabal. Skulkovo will soon be a word that is familiar to many Americans. Viktor Vekselberg as well…….
Everyone seems to forget that Trump has access to all of the information and knows the full sordid story. I think the real challenge for him is Obama is obviously implicated (Page/Strozk texts show he wanted to be kept fully informed) so is Trump going arrest and prosecute Obama and risk civil war? He should or the republic lost……but I think we lost it some time ago so very unlikely Trump will do anything except raise enough of a stink to get a few small things done.
Is this Alinsky Rule the same one they follow during false flag operations as well?
like claiming there is a military drill for hi-jacked plane flying into buildings
or
engaging in active shooter drills at schools?
did I get that right?
There is no story to brazen or bizarre that will ever see the justice it deserves. The ones that have already come out are shocking enough to warrant the nation to come to a standstill. Too bad there are too many criminals in all places of govt. for truth to be told and judgement handed out.
The incredible arrogance of these DOJ, FBI and intel community bastards needs to be rewarded with long prison sentences and it needs to be done now. Barr, call your office. Having served in that “intel community” and knowing exactly what kind of disloyal, pompous, incompetent turds the likes of Comey, McCabe, Brennan and the rest are, I am not at all surprised. These “senior officials” did not get to be senior because they were competent, honest, loyal, patriotic and better than their peers. No, they got there because they are liberal Democrats or, worse, totally amoral, unprincipled shits who climbed over the bodies of their friends and co-workers to get to the top. To think that these weasels thought they had a right to overrule the decisions of the American people! Frankly, they deserve the death penalty for waging war against the USA and our constitution. The Trump policies that so “frightened” them were, in fact, wise, sensible, common sense policies, as opposed to the sordid antics of Clinton, Bush and Obama. Fuck every one of these creeps. I would especially like shove McCabe´s glasses down his throat. He has the typical face of these wharf rats.
Two years ago, everybody was talking about the 25th amendment. Funny how all the prophets come out of the woodwork after the fact.
All these rats deserve prison,and some deserve the death penalty. That should start to send a message. Then 95% of all the Democrats need to be removed from office at the very least.Some need to be arrested. 50% of the republicans need the same thing. Then start over. Anyone with kook ideas that do not conform to the Constitution. Need not apply. Do I think this will happen? No I don’t. So just keep preparing for what we know is coming. On a brighter note. Here in NY they are starting to eat their own. Seeing who can be more wackier than the other. It makes me chuckle. I wonder if the idiots down in NYC will catch on?
bilco,
if we had an accurate census that also excluded illegals,both of which trump is trying to do,it would take many house seats away from the big cities,which are overwhelmingly represented by leftist dems-
You are beginning to see the unraveling that happens when everyone starts fingering their collars and wondering how much exposure they have and who is likely to rat them out. Rosenstein is disputing key parts of McCabe’s story, and one of them has to be lying. If they start squeezing the little players, eventually they will work themselves up the chain to the bigger fish. Those who didn’t manage to secure immunity already are SOL.
Worms Squirming might be a better title for a weasely-eyed motherfucker as Mccabe.
