Trump detractors on PoFo have a pretty poor track record on predictions regarding Trump. I am guessing that the next year and a half is going to be a rough one for his detractors. Trump is going to run against the establishment.
In the wake of the bust of the Mueller report, the tables are turning and those who instigated this investigation are themselves likely to face investigation, and perhaps prosecution if wrongdoing is found--which seems likely. Suddenly, the establishment is trying to ratchet up the spin that they were trying to protect the country. Legislators have called Barr's comments a "conspiracy theory," even though it is an established fact that the FBI furnished FISA applications to the FISC and also had an "informant" infiltrate the Trump campaign.
Trump urges inquiry into 'attempted coup' against him
Trump always hits back. They threw everything they could at Trump. I'm guessing the other shoe is about to drop now.
The world's greatest counterpuncher has taken the hard hits the establishment had to offer. Now, the real fireworks are about to start.
Byron York: Barr is right, spying on Trump campaign did occur
As funny as it is to watch, it is absolutely astonishing that people who have absolutely no factual foundation for a Russia-Trump collusion conspiracy can say such a thing to an Attorney General who has signed and sworn statements submitted in a FISA application to the FISC court. There is simply no question that they infiltrated the Trump campaign. There is no question that they used a dossier financed by the Hillary Clinton campaign as the basis for their activity.
Focus on the Leaking, Not Just the Spying
Bloomberg reports it straight.
{bold emphasis mine} This is where the problems start to arise. Once Trump won, the "insurance policy" kicked in and they started violating the law to leak to the press to undermine Trump from the beginning--which is consistent with what we learned from the retrieved texts from Page and Strzok among others.
Right. One of Obama's last executive orders was to broaden access to intelligence reports. It was a curious act in an outgoing presidency. It was likely meant to hide the actual leaker, but it betrays the conspiracy itself and leads it right back to Barack Obama himself. Obama will never be prosecuted for this, but his reputation will be completely destroyed. A number of people who did Obama's bidding will likely have their lives destroyed now.
One of Obama's lawyers is being offered up by the special counsel, but I think this is just window dressing too.
Obama’s former White House counsel just got caught up in the Mueller probe
What's even more remarkable about this whole thing is that people like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity end up being the most credible on the subject, and they are essentially political hacks.
The President Should Keep Explaining the Spying Scandal
Rush Limbaugh's analysis of this is simply brilliant. He gets a little more leeway in speculation, because he's not a reporter. Byron York, et. al. have to establish a basis for everything they say. However, Limbaugh is spot on. The Clintons were clearly selling influence--including to the Russians. The Obamas probably expected to be doing a lot better than the book deals, and having to lay low.
Trump has been playing defense all along, but as he turns to offense, it's going to get very interesting. Assange knows who gave him the DNC emails. He may know that the DNC had Seth Rich killed. It will be interesting to see if they kill Assange.

Trump urges inquiry into 'attempted coup' against him
Mr Trump described the investigation by former FBI director Robert Mueller as "an attempted coup".
Attorney General William Barr meanwhile said he believes US authorities did spy on the Trump campaign.
Trump always hits back. They threw everything they could at Trump. I'm guessing the other shoe is about to drop now.
Donald J Trump wrote:What I'm most interested in is getting started, hopefully the attorney general, he mentioned it yesterday.
He's doing a great job, getting started on going back to the origins of exactly where this all started.
Because this was an illegal witch hunt, and everybody knew it. And they knew it too. And they got caught. And what they did was treason.

Byron York: Barr is right, spying on Trump campaign did occur
Barr "must retract his statement immediately or produce specific evidence to back it up," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said. "Perpetuating conspiracy theories is beneath the office of the attorney general."
Barr has gone "off the rails," said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
"The attorney general must retract his unfounded, irresponsible claim," said Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal.

Focus on the Leaking, Not Just the Spying
Attorney General William Barr thinks that U.S. intelligence agencies spied on Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, he told the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday. And as Bloomberg News reported Tuesday, he has assembled a team to review the matter.
He does not know if the spying was improper, Barr emphasized. “The question is whether it was adequately predicated,” he said. He later clarified that he does not think the FBI itself is corrupt. Nonetheless, Barr said, “spying on a political campaign is a big deal.”
Bloomberg reports it straight.
The abuse of power here is what happened after Trump won the election. This is when the investigations themselves and other kinds of surveillance were disclosed to the press. Details about incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s conversations with the Russian ambassador during the presidential transition leaked. So did the FBI’s probe of Trump associates and their contacts with Russia, along with the existence of the surveillance warrant on Page himself.
{bold emphasis mine} This is where the problems start to arise. Once Trump won, the "insurance policy" kicked in and they started violating the law to leak to the press to undermine Trump from the beginning--which is consistent with what we learned from the retrieved texts from Page and Strzok among others.
Senator Benjamin Cardin, a Democrat from Maryland, actually received a packet of material marked “secret” from the State Department. The wider such intelligence is circulated, the easier it is to leak it.

The President Should Keep Explaining the Spying Scandal
Rush Limbaugh wrote: They knew that we knew what was going on, but they were confident there was nothing we could do about it. They had Mueller. They had the FBI. They had Brennan. They had Clapper. They had the intelligence agencies. They had the establishment on their side.
And then Barr. They didn’t so much fumble as Barr stripped them of the ball.
...
He (Trump) used to the term “treason” again to describe the scam and the spying on him.
...
And you know what most of the press questions were about? The press is shouting questions in these things, and most of those questions were about negotiations with North Korea and South Korea.
...
They (the fake news) don’t want to talk about the spying! They don’t want to talk about the investigation. They don’t want to talk about what Barr may or may not do.
...
He (Caputo) said, “I was approached by a Russian national FBI informant in late May of 2016. He wanted to give me some dirt on Hillary, and I turned it down.” Caputo said this yesterday. So this is modified attempt at entrapment.
...
This is how close we came.
This is how close they came to pulling this off.
They weren’t searching for collusion. There wasn’t any. They were trying to create it!
...
His instincts were to turn it down. “Caputo said he only learned that the individual was an FBI informant after he sat down with Mueller’s investigators.” He didn’t know at the time. His instincts were serving him well. “When they asked me about him, I told them what I knew. By their faces, I knew that it was someone they had sent to me. It was after my interrogation with the Mueller team that I went out, hired private investigators and found out the guy had used a fake name, Henry Greenberg, and that he had been working with the FBI for 17 years.”
...
The thing that you can’t forget — and I’m sure you won’t — now that they have suffered this deep humiliation and now that they’re a little scared to death — remember what this investigation, quote, unquote, was — do not ever forget this. It was not an investigation. There was never any collusion.
What this was — in fact, to state this, I’m gonna go back to what really was the origin of all this. The origin of all of this was to exonerate Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton had violated numerous federal laws with her server, her illegal private email server with which and on which she was trafficking in classified data.
In addition, there was the Clinton Foundation. She was selling influence to foreign buyers on the come under the assumption she was gonna be president. She was raking in money, she and her husband, were raking in money on the premise that they were gonna be back in the White House and could therefore repay that money in policy ways or who knows however which way.
Hillary Clinton had to be exonerated.
