“Friday’s indictment of a St. Petersburg-based “troll farm” and 13 Russian nationals should be seen as a limited slice of a comprehensive investigation, the person said. Mueller’s work is expected to continue for months and also includes examining potential obstruction of justice by Trump, said the person, who requested anonymity to discuss an investigation that is largely confidential.”How absurd, “Anonymous Source” when “the investigation that is largely confidential” has been leaking like the proverbial sieve ever since it got underway. How do we know if FBI operatives collaborated with the Russians to pump oxygen into their obsession to get rid of Donald Trump for Russian collusion? We don’t! The intelligence agency’s narrative that “The Russians are Coming!” has long been pre-empted by the fact that “The Russians Have Always Been Coming” by virtue of Senator Ted Kennedy working with them in a blatant attempt to keep Ronald Reagan from being re-elected president in 1984. (Forbes, Aug. 28, 2009) Was that how former president Barack Obama was able to turn the agency’s top brass into agent provocateurs rather than unbiased, straight shooting protectors of national security during the eight years of his two terms in the Oval Office? Why would Russia want Donald Trump, then an unknown, as president when Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry had given them everything they wanted, including a big slice of American uranium? It should go without saying that most people were thinking of the 17 students and teachers killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on their watch when they revealed their Russian indictments yesterday.
“But the latter seems to be an apt characterization of our Federal Bureau of Investigation in the wake of the killings in Parkland, Florida, where, by their own admission, the organization overlooked warnings about the killer that could have saved seventeen students and teachers from mass murder. This is no mere bureaucratic slip-up and the demand by Governor Scott for the resignation of FBI Director Wray is understandable considering the number of dead children in his state.” “The incompetence, moreover, is not just restricted to Parkland. It pervades an institution that—frequently blinded by the most rote political correctness—interviewed and then released terrorists who ultimately perpetrated horrific attacks from the Boston Marathon to the Orlando nightclub massacre. (There are several more.) "Those, to be kind, oversights demonstrate aspects of bias mixed with incompetence, but that lethal combination became yet more apparent throughout the Russian collusion investigation. For the last few weeks we have been digesting the nauseating probability that the FBI used a dossier paid for by the Clinton campaign and ginned up by an assembly of creepy political hatchet men and women (Blumenthal, Shearer, Steele, two Ohrs, etc.) with input from various "friends of the Kremlin" in order to spy on an American citizen and, undoubtedly, Donald Trump, before and after he became president.”The Russians didn’t steal the election from Obama hand-picked protégé Hillary Clinton. But Crooked Hillary, almost single-handedly killed off the integrity and credibility of the FBI.
