It's their traditional laziness since the Watergate era, but I think that whole era is blowing up now. Since Nixon, they have had a special counsel for Reagan, Bush I, Clinton and Bush II. Ford, Carter and Obama escaped--the latter by establishment design, including the design of fuckwits like Mitch McConnell. However, it looks like the corruption and hubris of the deep state is finally going to see them explode.
I remember back in the Bush years, just before I left the Republican party, I mused that the only way the media could be coming so consistently to a set of conclusions was that they had to have been paid off; or alternatively, that they were all essentially spies. It's becoming so transparent now, that there is almost no point in them gaslighting anymore. They are more of a self-parody than they realize.

I mused about joining the campaign at one point, but the issue for me is that the only thing I could really add was advice on operational security and I figured they'd have some of that covered. In California, the outcome is a
fait accompli--it's a one-party state like North Korea. Clearly, I was wrong about Trump having solid OPSEC. I would have only focused on it from an IT perspective anyway. I once did a web page for Willie Louis Brown when he ran for mayor of San Francisco. It was amazing to me how quickly the media knew my phone number. I was never a campaign rat, but it's now clear to me that the whole thing is espionage and subterfuge. The only reason I was trusted in Democratic circles is that I had some close friendships with Democrats I knew from school, and it was before liberals knew how to do anything technical.

An establishment man to the core... The result of that one was funny, as they picked up on one of Jimmy Carter's debate questions. It as something to the effect of, "Ronny, how come every time I see you riding a horse, you look younger." Reagan's canned, but seemingly off-the-cuff reply was, "Jimmy, I just keep riding older horses."
Hong Wu wrote:Halper met repeatedly with Trump campaign figures such as Carter Page, at least once with Sam Clovis and was in contact with Papadopoulos.
The amazing thing about this is that they could have just shut it down when the house got Fusion GPS banking records. Their willfulness is going to bite them in the ass in ways they never imagined possible. If they think Trump winning is their worst nightmare, the worst is yet to come.
Hong Wu wrote:It'll be interesting to see if and how this plugs into other issues, such as how the Democrat's opposition research was used to justify further espionage; did Halper's presence get used to further justify anything else?
Well, what's interesting is that it shows that the FBI's stated timeline is a lie too. They started before Papadopolous. Yet, they have no compelling legal reason to have done so and it predates Trumps quips about Russia and Hillary's emails--which were also completely innocuous. The gaslighting was all to put pressure on judges to sign of on FISA warrants. So it's very likely that Schumer et. al. were in on this too.
Hong Wu wrote:Meanwhile, a recent Reuters poll gave Republicans the lead in the upcoming midterm elections. This is interesting if you consider that Republicans have been outperforming polls since around 2010 when the Tea Party first appeared.
Those are the last week of the election. The Democrats typically poll +5 when they are breaking even. That's the media's typical psyops play to try to sway people who want to be on the winning side. When the Republicans are up, they usually gain seats.

Yes, but that has to cross party lines too. People like John McCain are just as guilty as the Democrats.

It really is...
Hong Wu wrote:If they had an informant to protect Trump from Russia, why the collusion investigation? Shouldn't they already have the investigation part completed?
They never thought they'd be caught.
