WHAT ABOUT THE DURHAM REPORT
If some of you are still standing up in sympathy for Hillary Clinton and how she was cheated out of the presidency in 2016 by the Russia loving, real estate mogul, Donald Trump, I guess you may be slightly disturbed by the results of the Durham report, or perhaps, like most liberal democrats you will choose, as in the words of Sergeant Schultz in Hogan’s Heroes, to say “I see nothing!” Some may just choose to forget about what happened seven years ago. For conservatives, we feel some satisfaction that the truth is finally being told but disappointed that nothing will be done...no justice.
We were told by the liberal elites, Hillary’s campaign, the Democratic Party and their media that Trump was in collusion with Putin and our intelligence agencies and the FBI fell for it. They used unverified gossip as a pretext to spy on Trump’s political campaign because they wanted to destroy him. They used the Steel dossier as a basis for securing a warrant to spy on then-Trump campaign advisor Carter Page. The dossier couldn’t be corroborated by Steele himself or his Russian source even after the FBI offered Steele $1 million. (You read that right — a million bucks of our tax money. Talk about desperate for a smoking gun).
Robert Mueller, who spent years and millions of dollars investigating the Trump-Russia collusion, never thought the dossier’s fraud was worth mentioning. He found what the FBI already knew that there was no “there” there. The defamation didn’t stop. It’s pretty hard to maintain a lie in the face of plain evidence. It requires lie upon lie. Democratic representative, Maxine Waters in 2019 after the lie was uncovered said. |
Revelation by former WH officials proves what we’ve known all along: Trump
is #PutinsPuppet. Trump repeated Putin’s talking point that Ukraine, not Russia,
interfered in the ‘16 election. Mark my words. If the Senate doesn’t remove him,
Trump will invite Putin to the WH next yr.

I’m really not sure whether she has mental issues like Pres. Biden, or she has been sipping purple Kool-Aid with other uninformed Democrats. If Putin was Trump’s buddy, why when the Ukrainians asked Obama for weapons, Obama sent blankets and platitudes, but Trump sent them Javelin missiles as well as other weapons and ammo to kill Russians? What about Russian mercenaries that Pres. Trump had killed in Syria? Surely the mercenaries had permission of Putin to be there and yet, Pres. Trump gave the okay to kill them. Trump placed sanctions on Russia and on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Great pals, chums and amigos, right? If Pres. Trump was colluding with Putin, he wasn’t doing a very good job.
This isn’t just about Trump, it’s about us. If we are Republicans, MAGA supporters, or conservatives, we become everything the Democrats accuse him of. We are Russian sympathizers, racists, conspiracy theorists, and ignoramuses that promote the destruction of our environment all for the love of gas guzzlers and red meat. |
It may be hard to remember, but Watergate came about due to an over-zealous group of Nixon reelection committeemen and cohorts associated with the CIA and FBI who were digging for dirt on George S. McGovern who was running against Nixon in the 1972 Presidential election. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? These weird, dumb and fairly narrow set of criminal behaviors mushroomed into 69 officials being indicted and 48 imprisoned. Will the same thing happen this time? NO!
Nothing is going to happen to Hillary, who paid Steele with campaign money to make Trump look like a cohort of Putin. Nothing will happen to those officials who lied to FISA courts to obtain ability to “bug” Trump and Trump Tower, and Carter Page, a campaign advisor. Steele had committed fraud with his dossier but nothing happened and his accomplice, who lied to the FBI, was acquitted.

Attorney General Garland seems to be doing a lot more obstructing of justice than Nixon’s Attorney General Mitchell ever dreamed of doing. Garland’s Justice Department reportedly instructed the IRS to disband the unit investigating Hunter Biden’s taxes. He has used the FBI to harass former President Donald Trump and a wide range of Republicans. And he’s turned a blind eye to every report of foreign money going to the Biden family ($3 million in one Chinese transaction, a diamond sent to Hunter Biden, millions of dollars sent by the widow of the Mayor of Moscow, etc.). Garland has done nothing with the clear references to "the big guy" in various Hunter Biden emails. He’s ignored the testimony of Hunter Biden’s associates that Joe Biden was actively supporting them as vice president.
I don’t know who came up with the saying about if you don’t know your history you will end up repeating it. It may have been me speaking to recalcitrant students who needed to be spurred on. Most believe it was George Santayan, a writer and philosopher, who actually said “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Edmund Burke and Winston Churchill both said, “Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it.” There is much to learn from Watergate. A President is not above the law. In fact, he should be held to a higher standard because he represents our beloved country. He can't lie because when he gets caught, it is demoralizing for the citizens of the country. He was guilty, but was pardoned by Pres. Ford. No one realized at the time that this was a positive move, needed to heal the nation. |
The most important effect of Watergate was an overall lack of trust for politicians. President Reagan because of his good nature and self-effacing ways, seemed to change this in ways. Unfortunately, our President and all the hopeful candidates must pass the extreme test. What Americans seem to long for is authenticity, and a person to trust and believe in. It will be difficult based on the administration now.
