Fear in the Headlights

By Ben Garrison

The Deep State’s former intelligence chiefs are panicking.

“Bucket Five” will reveal rampant corruption on their part. They all helped bring about an illegal FISA warrant that allowed them to spy on Trump and his campaign. It wasn’t ‘surveillance.’ It was spying in order to dredge up any kind of illegality that will allow Trump to be impeached if elected. Bucket 5 is the first phase of declassification and is said to include FBI documents that will exonerate Trump campaign officials George Papadopoulos and Carter Page.

This was also known as Hillary’s ‘insurance policy.’

President Trump has played them all like so many violins and cellos. Now they have to face the music of justice. Not just the corrupted security agency players, but also the Democrats themselves.

Adam Schiff, for example. His eyes are as big as saucers now as he realizes his own self-made predicament. He condemned Barr for not releasing the full Mueller Report. He accused Trump of ‘obstruction.’ However, those few Mueller report redactions were in place to protect the process. It would have been illegal for Barr to release the full version. In a quick turnabout of principles, Schiff does NOT want full release of documents that will prove the Democrats’ duplicity. Schiff is the very face of the Democrats’ blatant and nauseating hypocrisy.

Clapper, Comey and Brennan all belong in prison. Many more need to answer for their criminal deeds—including Hillary Clinton. Nobody is above the law and all roads lead to crimes committed by Obama.

LOCK THEM UP!

Impeachment Is For Democrats What Heroin Is For Addicts

Via The Federalist

Symptoms of impeachment addiction include a strong desire to impeach somebody, increased tolerance of convoluted impeachment theories, failure to fulfill obligations to family members who don’t share your addiction, difficulty reducing one’s obsession with impeachment news, and withdrawal symptoms when impeachment-related news take a rare breather. Addiction withdrawal symptoms may include trouble sleeping and depression. Complications can include marriage problems and unemployment.

Dossier Architects Claimed They Wanted To Protect Identity Of Sources; One Was Unmasked Anyway

Via The Daily Caller

Former British spy Christopher Steele and Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson claimed to have concerns about the safety and security of one of the sources for the dossier, but outed him anyway by talking to journalists.

Steele told a State Department official in October 2016 that “source protection” was a focus in his investigation of President Donald Trump, according to notes from the meeting released earlier this month.

That purported concern was also shared by Simpson, who hired Steele on behalf of the Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign. He told Justice Department official Bruce Ohr on Jan. 20, 2017, that he was worried about the safety of a dossier source he believed was about to be identified in the media.

Sergei Millian was outed four days later.

On Jan. 24, 2017, ABC News and The Wall Street Journal identified Millian, an American citizen born in Belarus, as an unwitting source for Steele. Described interchangeably as Source D, Source E and an “ethnic Russian associate of Trump,” Millian was the source who claimed that the Kremlin was blackmailing Trump with a salacious sex tape and that the Trump campaign had conspired with Russia to influence the election.

Millian’s outing as a dossier source is perhaps an unintended consequence of Steele and Simpson’s contacts with journalists during their investigation of Trump.

The MLK Tapes

Via The Daily Mail

Secret FBI tapes that accuse Martin Luther King Jr of having extramarital affairs with ’40 to 45 women’ and even claim he ‘looked on and laughed’ as a pastor friend raped a parishioner exist, an author has claimed.

The civil rights hero was also heard allegedly joking he was the founder of the ‘International Association for the Advancement of P***y-Eaters’ on an agency recording that was obtained by bugging his room, according to the sensational claims made by biographer David Garrow – a Pulitzer prize-winning author and biographer of MLK.

Writing in British magazine Standpoint, Garrow says that the shocking files could lead to a ‘painful historical reckoning’ for the man who is celebrated across the world for his campaign against racial injustice.

Along with many US civil rights figures, King was subject to an FBI campaign of surveillance ordered by Director J Edgar Hoover in an effort to undermine his power amid fears he could have links to the Communist Party.

The left now has a MeToo problem with Martin Luther King. Jr.

Via The American Thinker

The left, which has been so eager to topple statues of Confederate generals, slave-owning founding fathers such as Thomas Jefferson, even Kate Smith who sang objectionable racist songs early in her career, now has a Martin Luther King, Jr. problem.

That’s pretty disgusting stuff. And for the left, which has lived by the statue-toppling, it can now die by the statue-toppling. It toppled Confederate statues and sought to erase the founding fathers from the history books, so now all the streets named for the great civil rights leader, all the postage stamps, the schools, the history book lessons, the holiday, the statues, the sculptures, and the memorials, well, they can take them down now over the p****y-grabbing talk and the rape witnessing report as King was pretty much Weinstein-level in his transgressions.

At a minimum, it might just demonstrate the stupidity of moving too fast on lionizing people who are far from perfect. Same thing happened with Earth Day and the repugnant personal history of its founder, though the King case is far more significant.

Since the left sees things solely in terms of black and white and everyone’s either a hero or a Nazi, it’s now going to be squirming for awhile.

For the rest of us, these revelations are an opportunity to reassert a broader appreciation of culture and history with the gift of cultural context.
