A classic anti-Trump frenzy

A CLASSIC ANTI-TRUMP FRENZY. Beginning in the months before Donald Trump took office, and extending well into his presidency, the media and political world took a set of vague but serious accusations of wrongdoing involving the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia and created a 24/7 frenzy of talk about secret evidence, possible criminal charges, and allegedly grave damage to national security. Fed by leaks originating in federal law enforcement, the intelligence community, and interested lawyers, ostensibly responsible observers engaged in wild speculation — COLLUSION!!! — that was terribly damaging to then-President Trump. And here was the punch line: Nobody knew what the evidence was. It was secret, classified, grand jury, ongoing investigation, whatever. All the talk was based on little bits of information, and no one, at the time, had the big picture. The secrecy cloaking the details of the case allowed anti-Trump speculation to flourish.

Ohhhhh. You mean like the top secret probable cause affidavit used to get the search warrant?

@jackjjackson

A top-secret affidavit accepted by a shop-a-judge magistrate who is in the Democrats' pocket.

What’s not to trust about that? @Thinkerbell

@jackjjackson

All on the up-and-up, obviously.

Has the coup already occurred or is it Underway? Thr libs seem to be totally screwing us over. @Thinkerbell

@jackjjackson

The coup has been ongoing, but they may have hit a snag.

I don't think they expected Liz Cheney to lose in Wyoming by nearly as much as 37 points.

I expect the Democrats to get even more frantic in the lead-up to the November elections.

@Thinkerbell She was lucky she only lost by 37 points.

Thinkerbell · 41-45, F

@TallMtnMedic

Well, the pre-election polls I saw only had her behind by 20 points or so.
Maybe they expected more Democrats to switch registration and vote for her.

@Thinkerbell Well it sounds like she's running for president now. Wonder how that's gonna work out.....

@robb65

If Trump runs in 2024, I think it's likely she'll run as a third-party candidate, to draw votes away from Trump, sort of like what Ross Perot did to Bush Sr.

@Thinkerbell That could be, I can't see her running against Trump as a Republican.
