The coup has failed, but continues
Posted by William A. Jacobson
The Democrat and media tactics and goal posts are shifting after the Mueller finding of no collusion, but the goal of unwinding the 2016 election remains.
Donald Trump has been completely exonerated of allegations he or his campaign colluded, conspired or cooperated with the Russians to interfere in the U.S. 2016 presidential election.
Robert Mueller and his team couldn’t find evidence of collusion, but not for lack of trying:
In the report, the Special Counsel noted that, in completing his investigation, he employed 19 lawyers who were assisted by a team of approximately 40 FBI agents, intelligence analysts, forensic accountants, and other professional staff. The Special Counsel issued more than 2,800 subpoenas, executed nearly 500 search warrants, obtained more than 230 orders for communication records, issued almost 50 orders authorizing use of pen registers, made 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence, and interviewed approximately 500 witnesses.
Rather than vindicating the integrity of the Mueller investigation, the finding of no collusion demonstrates the thoroughly dishonest political and media motivations which launched the accusations of collusion dating back at least to the summer of 2016.
The 2016 political and media attempt to prevent Trump from becoming president based on false accusations of Russia collusion failed. Then the attacks shifted to the Electoral College, and attempt to intimidate electors based on Russia collusion allegations:
… a new and thoroughly dishonest media narrative developed — that Trump could not be allowed to take office because Russia “hacked the election.”
By hacked the election, they don’t mean that the vote count was corrupted, but that alleged Russian hacking of the DNC and John Podesta influenced the outcome. A variation on that theme is that Trump has some potential Russian connection that makes him potentially disloyal to the United States.
The claim is that this new information is so serious post-election, that the Electors must fulfill some alleged duty to protect the country from Trump. Call that Operation Flip the Electors, Part Two.
None of these allegations, however, are new. They were all aired to and considered by the voters. Here are just a tiny fraction of the major media headlines BEFORE the election:
- Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia (NYT)
- How Russia Pulled Off the Biggest Election Hack in U.S. History (Esquire)
- Private Security Group Says Russia Was Behind John Podesta’s Email Hack (NYT Times)
- Reasonable doubt in Russian hack: Column (USA Today)
The voters took into account the swarm of accusations against Trump and Hillary, and elected him. Losing sucks, I get it, but it’s not an excuse to create a constitutional crisis and uniquely destructive result of the Electors flipping the election to Hillary, or even to the House.
Then the action shifted to the FBI-CNN set up to leak the Steele Dossier. Then a thousand corrupt media spins bloomed.
It was what I called a “Russia Collusion” Media PSYOPs perpetrated by The Manchurian Media to create non-stop Russia collusion news cycles. As one would fall by the wayside, another would arise.
It was a fraud from the start, launched by the Clinton campaign and DNC through Fusion GPS and the Steele Dossier, among others. Once the election was over, it was nothing short of a The Slow-Motion Coup d’Etat:
