Guest Post by Victor Davis Hanson
Hillary Clinton’s never-ending shenanigans in 2015-2016 could be summarized as an attempted slow-motion coup.
Four years of national hysteria, a divided nation, and dangerous new tensions with Russia were some of the wages of Clinton’s machinations.
Clinton hired a British national and ex-spy, Christopher Steele, to compile dirt on her election opponent, Donald Trump. She hid her likely illegal campaign payments to him through at least three paywalls – the Democratic National Committee, the Perkins Coie law firm, and the opposition research firm Fusion GPS.
Partisans in the FBI helped her, by variously spying on minor officials affiliated with the Trump campaign, like George Papadopoulos and Carter Page. To expedite its improper surveillance, a corrupt FBI hierarchy presented fraudulent documents to a FISA court that authorized the illicit surveillance.
Clinton’s orbit of former subordinates and friends seeded the lies in the dossier throughout the Department of Justice, the FBI, and the CIA.
During the Trump transition, the FBI also tapped into the communications of national security advisor designate General Michael Flynn. The illegally leaked surveillance put an end to his service to the Trump Administration and ruined his life.
The country went through 22 months and $40 million in legal expenses under special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate the Clinton-inspired Russian collusion hoax.
When it was all over, Mueller’s “dream team” found no such actionable Trump-Russian collusion.
Mueller himself ended up nearly humiliated, preposterously claiming under oath no knowledge about the Steele dossier or Fusion GPS – the twin pillars of deceit that prompted his own investigation.
But Clinton was undaunted.
According to a recent affidavit filed by Special Counsel John Durham, Clinton furthermore had previously hired members of the Perkins Coie law firm to contract with tech experts to leverage their own existing access to the White House and Trump servers – and tap into the top-secret communications data of candidate and then-President Trump.
Their apparent desperate purpose was to find any dirt that the failed Steele dossier had not discovered.
As a result, Clinton’s tech hirelings helped promulgate another “collusion” lie that Trump Tower computers were communicating back and forth with the Russian Alfa Bank.
This additional Clinton investment in ruining Trump succeeded, as planned, in provoking media “collusion” hysteria that further paralyzed the Trump presidency.
Nightly news still trafficked in the fake Steele dossier and the Russian collusion hoax. The additional phony Alfa Bank smear was cited as further proof that Trump should be removed from office.
Clinton’s efforts created the general background landscape of hysteria and untruth that greenlighted the first Trump impeachment over a phone call to the Ukrainian president.
“Collusion” helped prompt efforts to remove or discredit him through possible invocation of the 25th Amendment.
And such skullduggery mainlined the once unthinkable scenario of a military coup. In this Clinton-created climate of collective madness, retired generals referenced their commander in chief as Hitler and Mussolini-like. A former Obama Pentagon official even wrote out a scenario of a military coup removing him.
Nonetheless, Trump completed a solid record of accomplishment of border security, energy production, full employment without inflation, deregulation, and a deterrent, but not interventionist, foreign policy.
The chief criticism of his administration was that Trump believed the Washington establishment and media were out to get him. In furor, he railed nonstop that the Left had conspired to monitor his communications and break the law to ruin him.
Yet that supposed paranoia is proving to be an unpleasant reality.
What would Trump’s presidency have been like had opponents like Clinton kept to normal adversarial politics? What if they had avoided spinning conspiracies, often through violation of federal laws? Could they have been content with just opposing him rather than seeking to destroy him?
One of the reasons why American-Russian relations are poor, aside from Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggressive efforts to reclaim the borders of the old Soviet Union, was the nonstop and politicized demonization of “Russia.”
Americans were repeatedly and falsely told that “the Russians” had tried to destroy the Clinton campaign to partner with the traitor Trump and betray the United States. That was a slanderous lie.
Former CIA director John Brennan fed such hysteria by libeling Trump as “treasonous.” The retired Director of National Intelligence James Clapper smeared Trump as a “Russian asset.”
Will the nation ever demand an investigation to find out how and to what extent Hillary Clinton’s subordinates and contractors infiltrated the private communications of the president of the United States?
Will the people ever learn how such false information was seeded throughout the government and media in a conspiratorial effort to destroy a sitting president?
Hillary Clinton by now is an old master of scandals. Her lifelong oeuvre is vast – the cattle futures scam, Rose law firm missing documents, Travelgate, Uranium One shenanigans, missing emails, and the Steele dossier.
But the ongoing effort of her paid associates to tap into the top-secret communications of a presidential candidate and further use such illicit information to ruin the American presidency will go down as her greatest masterpiece of deceit.

Everything else is just noise.
If you think back to the the first six months of the Trump administration and what was happening.
Seemed like a ‘leak’ nearly every week, conversations with foreign leader leaked. Leaks about staffing issues, policy etc. Makes sense now ,that it appears Trump’s office communications were being hacked and spread to media who then took over and made a story, many times a mountain out of mole hill. Well it worked , it crippled many early initiatives, spread doubt and cowardly Rino’s lapped it all up.
Now with Biden maybe a leak or two, but media covers his senile dementia, corrupt family and policies such as opening border, war on energy and foreign policy fiascos.
Trump had the opportunity to have hillary indicted, but chose not to in the first part of his administration. I would have found a wall for her to stand in front of……..
“Now with Biden maybe a leak or two,…” Disgusting!
For which WaPo and the NYT got a Pulitzer for their outstanding reporting….
Let’s not forget that The Washington Post and The New York Times won the 2018 Pultizer Prize for their national reporting of President Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia. They were awarded $15,000 in a joint prize.
The “award winning” journalists include Maggie Haberman, Jo Becker, Matt Apuzzo and Mark Mazetti from The Times and Rosalind Helderman, Tom Hamburger, Ellen Nakashima, Adam Entous and Greg Miller from WaPo.
They received the award “For deeply sourced, relentlessly reported coverage in the public interest that dramatically furthered the nation’s understanding of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and its connections to the Trump campaign, the President-elect’s transition team and his eventual administration.

Hillary is a narcissistic psychopath, she is the Red Queen gone crazier and so power hungry she actually rubs her hands with glee at the thought of inflicting pain and suffering. Remember the cackle when she gloated over Ghaddafi’s death? I despise that evil bitch with every fiber of my being.

It needs constant mentioning that the source of Trump Derangement Syndrome was created by Hillary using the FBI / DOJ / CIA, with the fabricated Steele dossier to try to avoid losing the election.
The Democrat cult that bought it will NEVER LET IT GO.
Indeed, we’d say it’s only folks who have lost their minds to the TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). This entire imbroglio, in fact, is not about the nation of Russia, the rule of law, foreign policy or the genuine safety and liberty of the American homeland.
To the contrary, it’s about a single member of the 7 billion-strong human race—the utterly demonized, vilified and reviled Vladimir Putin.
The Biden mainstream of the Dem party is still not over the shock of November 2016, and apparently mean to do battle permanently with the ogre of Moscow, whom they falsely hold accountable for their own self-inflicted defeat. (Shrinks call this transference and denial.)

So many people forget that she was also the original source, true or not, of Obama being a Kenyan by birth.
When the Communists overthrew the Czar in Russia they didn’t do it alone. They banded together with other smalk groups to achieve that goal. Afterward, one by one, they turned on those groups as well killing or sending them off to the gulags.
I think that is being repeated now. The Clinton machine was valuable to take down Trump and the populists. They don’t need her anymore and she won’t go quietly into the night to live on billions of grift dollars. So, they are disposing of her.
Hillary didn’t k…forget it, I need that $7 in my bank account..
This murderous bat-shite crazy old bloated cow gets away with crime after crime, and nothing happens to her or her sleaze bag husband. Meanwhile, middle aged MAGA supporters who walked around the Capitol building for a few minutes are kept in solitary confinement without any due recourse to law.
Isn’t there someone close to these monsters who will stand up and do something? People increasingly talk about revolution, but you don’t burn down your own house to get rid of a roach; you just squash the roach.
Someone close to these monsters (Gates, Soros, Schwab, Hitlery, etc.) could fix all our problems in a flash, literally.
Only to be replaced by the next, well-rested, monster in line. Though a 4AM disappearance-into-thin-air of deviant elites may bring good morale to our beleaguered and disorganized populace, effective application of the law via Sheriff supported citizen courts and harsh sentencing for treasonous murderers is the deterrent that will leave us with the necessary legacy to salvage the nation and return autonomy to the States.
btw- we dig your chandelier bedecked LTD, Duke
I believe the USA has reached the point, where IF Trump or DeSantis got elected President, one month after taking office, declare a correct legal state of emergency, arrest all these people for Treason. Then fire the top five layers of management of the CIA, DOJ, FBI, IRS, DoD including half the Army Generals for lying about Afghanistan, and any other agency that is corrupted. Its that or civil war.
Can’t vote our way out of this mess.
What , exactly, prevented him from doing that then?
Truly, by his actions, and more importantly, his inactions, he “six ways from sunday’d” himself.
Things are different now. Nothing has changed but now, we all KNOW.
Just got a chuckle thinking about how far we have gone down the rabbit hole.
Canada is about to or in the process of having an awakening or revolution.
The USA is being invaded from the south, the cartels growing, festering activities are like a cancer and D. C is a cesspool.
Democrat cities are by definition war zones. But still by cartel standards, kids play.
Jabba the Slut Hillary is like a maggot emerging from a shit samwich smiling, telling us to take a big bite and be thankful.
The Clinton political crime syndicate is a well funded untouchable parasitic growth on this nations justice departments .
All who come in contact are ruined or commit ARKINSIDE !
The collection of mysterious deaths and suicides that just never quite find their way back to the Clinton machine is really quite remarkable . Everyone of the deaths is always seen as a sad unfortunate event 🤔
The day she finally croaks should become a new national holiday! She’ll never be tried or convicted of anything she’s done, and that is really the saddest part of all. Justice is no longer blind and hasn’t been for sometime.
They will put her lizard face on a Trillion dollar coin with Obama’s
Big stumbling block for me as well.
Lady Justice (Latin: Iustitia) is an allegorical personification of the moral force in judicial systems.[1][2] Her attributes are a blindfold, scales, and a sword.
I can only speak for myself, but after my rose colored glasses were broken in a hit-n-run…I could see clearly now, all the obstacles…blinding me.
The scales of justice? ‘Science based’ evidence. matter at hand? COMPLETELY Irrelevant. which ever side contains the most gold…WINS.
Blidfold comes off. Who is standing beside the lighter side of of the Scales?
The sword comes out and the rest IShistory.
If that fucken bloody cunt rag of a human being turned out to be Medusa I would be relieved. At least I could rest easier in knowing she was myth come true as opposed to one of the most depraved humans to ever have walked this earth.
I remember the day she had Ron Brown’s plane mit all passengers crashed into a hillside and no one I was deployed with at that time believed for a second it was an accident.
ZFG, out.
P.S. I hope she gets cooch cancer and her fucken rotten asshole prolapses on a fucken cactus.
It’s all old news. We all know the truth(even those who deny they know it). But this isn’t the age of truth. Th is is the age of lies, the more the better. This is also the age of Mass Formation Psychosis, or in general, media induced hypnosis! Nearly the entire world population is involved. Many are waking up, but not all. In fact there are many hopelessly lost in their psychosis, never to be heard from again. We all know a few of them. It’s sad. But there is a cure. And He’s coming soon!!!👵😇
