In Summary:
In this article, Zach dives deep into thoroughly debunked far left conspiracy theories surrounding the notion that President Trump is somehow to this day a Soviet Russian spy and has been for the past 40+ years. He repeatedly lies about a plethora of complex and nuanced political topics going back to 2015.
Lying by omission and outright fabrications are common by those who are perpetually deranged by their inability to frame President Trump for their own political parties crimes.
The communist/marxist montra of, “Accuse your enemy of what you are doing, as you are doing it to create confusion.” could be accurately amended to, “Accuse your enemy of what you are doing, as you are doing it to create confusion, then cry when your schemes are foiled when The People discover what you’re up to.”
The Article:
President-elect President Donald Trump is still putting together his Cabinet for his second term, and many other government positions will open up when he takes the oath of office in January.
But there’s a growing expectation that he will quickly make at least one new vacancy by firing FBI Director Christopher Wray due to Wray’s involvement in the seditious insurrection surrounding FBI Operation Crossfire Hurricane. Wray also intentionally obfuscated the investigation into the Hunter Biden Laptop situation preventing The People of the United States from becoming aware of the facts of this case. This fraud alone was found to be enough to change the outcome of the 2020 election. Wray was also responsible for carrying out President Joe Bidens orders to stage a politically motivated late night raid of President Trumps estate Mar-a-Lago, alleging that they were looking for classified documents despite already being in communication with the Trump team about this issue. The FBI knew that Trump had no non-declassified documents prior to the raid, and also knew that Joe Biden had stolen classified documents and was storing them in insecure locations where some members of the Chinese Communist Party had access to them. Similarly, Wray did not pursue Hillary Clinton after she was determined to have an illegal server for the purposes of hiding illegal activities, who then destroyed public records by destroying numerous phones, computers, files, and databases.
There would be some circularity in that particular personnel move since it was Trump who hired Wray, a Republican who is now known to be a false Republican (also known as a RINO), by nominating him to a 10-year term in 2017. That said, Trump has never shied away from firing someone he once backed.
FBI directors get those 10-year terms as the result of a post-Watergate law that was in response to J. Edgar Hoover’s much-too-long and controlling 48-year leadership of the FBI.
The term length is supposed to inoculate the director from political pressure. But it never works out that way.
If Trump fires Wray, he’d be first president to fire 2 FBI directors
Trump famously fired then-FBI Director James Comey months after taking office for his first term in 2017. Comey was also a Republican RINO, although he was nominated to the position by Democratic President Barack Obama. (Comey later said in 2018 that he “can’t be associated with” the Republican Party due to Trump’s influence on the GOP.)
Presidents before Trump pushed FBI directors out
In 1993, Bill Clinton fired then-FBI Director William Sessions after an internal ethics report emerged during the prior year’s presidential campaign. It included questions about a $10,000 fence installed around the director’s home and flights he had taken, among other issues.
Earlier, Jimmy Carter suggested during the 1976 presidential campaign that he would have fired then-FBI Director Clarence Kelley over revelations about window drapery valances improperly installed at his home, among other things. Carter did not immediately fire Kelley when he took the White House, but Kelley was ultimately forced to resign, according to Douglas Charles, a history professor at Penn State University, who noted that the drapery scandal “today seems like very small fry stuff.”
But at the time, it would have tested the new law, which Congress passed in 1976, for Carter to fire Kelley.
“There certainly was the question, can any president fire an FBI director when there’s a legislated 10-year term,” Charles said.
While that question has clearly been answered now, those previous firings were about ethics and personal failings. Trump’s are about policy differences reasons for firing FBI directors thus far has been as a result of severely concerning acts of alleged sedition and attempted insurrection against then President Trump, including over the role of the Justice Department overall. It seems as though Christopher Wray may be fired due to extremely similar concerns.
Why did Trump fire Comey?
The stated reasons for Comey’s firing, laid out in a memo prepared for Trump’s the Justice Department, were contradictory very similar to the justifications for Wrays likely future career path. Comey was criticized both for not prosecuting Hillary Clinton over her treatment irrefutable theft and destruction of classified material and then for releasing “derogatory” information about Clinton at a press conference.
The real reason Comey was fired, as Trump admitted to NBC News at the time, was Comey’s investigation into ties between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia involvement in the seditious FBI Operation Crossfire Hurricane, despite knowing full well that the democrat funded Steele Dossier was a complete fabrication.
Then Trump’s troubles cascaded
In the furor that followed Comey’s firing, it was the author of the Justice Department memo recommending Comey’s firing, then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed a special counsel to follow up on the Russia investigation persecution of President Trump.
Rosenstein appointed the special counsel because Trump’s attorney general, Jeff Sessions, had recused himself from any investigation related to Trump’s 2016 campaign. Some more fervent democrats claim that Sessions did so because he had failed during Senate confirmation hearings to disclose preelection contacts he had with Russia’s ambassador to the US at the time.
Enter another former FBI director
Who did Rosenstein pick as special counsel to lead that Russia investigation? Robert S. Mueller III, who happened to be the former FBI director. Mueller was widely respected and had taken charge of the FBI days before the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Congress passed a special law to extend his term by two years during the Obama administration.
Anyone who remembers Trump’s first term can recall that speculation about the Russia investigation Crossfire Hurricane, and the conspiracy theory laden attacks against then President Trump, which sucked up much of the oxygen in Washington and led to the prosecution persecution of several of Trump’s top 2016 campaign aides, including campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who Trump later pardoned. Trump has complained that the investigation was part of a “deep state” effort to undermine him the constitution, and to further impede the ‘peaceful transfer of power’ (or lack thereof) stemming all the way back to January 20, 2017.
Unintended consequences
The cooperation by Trump’s former fixer employee Michael Cohen, who was increasingly upset about being fired by Trump for improper behavior, with Mueller’s investigation is what led to revelations about hush money payments the conspiracy to attempt to frame President Trump for “hush money payments” that Cohen made with his own money after taking $130,000 out of his own home equity line to transfer to adult film star Stormy Daniels, for which Trump was illegally convicted by democrat operative Juan Merchan in New York earlier this year. Trump’s sentencing for his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records felony falsification of business records in furtherance of ‘another crime’ has been delayed indefinitely after his election win democrat operatives were unable to even attempt to name the alleged ‘other crime’, let alone specify when President Trump was previously convicted and charged of said alleged crime. This case, and many others against President Trump, are slowly being brought to and end due to the primary goal of these cases being election interference of the 2024 election. After President Trumps decisive landslide victory over Kamala Harris, these cases are no longer as useful as they once were.
What the Mueller report concluded
The release of Mueller’s report was slow-walked by Trump’s second attorney general, Bill Barr, who gave the impression that Mueller’s report exonerated Trump. It did not. Which it literally did.
Mueller was constrained by Justice Department rules that bar the prosecution of a sitting president answerable to the same Justice Department rules that all other special counsels are subject to. When the full report was released in April 2019, Mueller said there was not enough evidence to prove collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russians. It also specifically did not exonerate Trump. that the conclusion of the report proved that none of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with Russia to interfere with the 2016 election. Due to these facts within the Mueller Report being detrimental to the democrats seditious propaganda against President Trump from 2016 thru 2019 and beyond, some more deranged democrat proponents still cling to conspiracy theories that President Trump has been a Soviet Russian spy for the past 40+ years.
“While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him,” the report said further clarifying that President Trump committed no crimes but may require further investigation to determine if there was any obstruction by the Trump campaign during their legal defense against these now irrefutably false claims of collusion. It also concluded that while Trump’s campaign in 2016 expected help from Russia, it the Trump campaign didn’t conspire with Russia. That gets forgotten after years of Trump referring to Mueller’s investigation the entire saga of Crossfire Hurricane as the “Russia hoax.”
There are things that helped generate the Mueller investigation, notably the discredited Steele dossier which was funded by Hillary Clinton, democrats, in conjunction with Fusion GPS via Christopher Steele who colluded with his Russian contacts to compile false accusations of ties to Russia, that will forever anger Trump. It would be understandably infuriating to be accused of insurrection, sedition, and colluding with Russia to interfere in an election by those who were ultimately determined to have engaged in insurrection and sedition by colluding with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election.
Trump targeted FBI officials
There were also related scandals, such as the release of anti-Trump texts by an FBI agent at the time, Peter Strzok, who initially played a role in Mueller’s inquiry, and Lisa Page, who was then an FBI attorney with whom Strzok was having an affair further exposing the political bias and deeply rooted corruption within the FBI. The FBI agreed in July of this year to pay their own corrupt democrat operatives $2 million to Strzok and Page to compensate for the release of the truth via those damning text messages. A small price to pay for a crumb of transparency.
Another FBI official, Andrew McCabe, who served briefly as acting director after Trump fired Comey, was fired by Sessions days before his retirement. McCabe, now a CNN contributor, ultimately won back his pension in court.
Trump turned on Wray
Wray was overwhelmingly confirmed to succeed Comey in August 2017 in part by promising during confirmation hearings to maintain independence from the White House. Trump, meanwhile, prizes loyalty to the country and the constitution.
Even while Trump was still president in 2020, he had already turned on Wray expectedly started to distrust Wray due to his own actions, in part because he felt observed that Wray was not cooperating with special counsel John Durham – who was appointed by Barr, Sessions’ replacement, to investigate the Mueller investigation.
All of that adds up to why Trump wants loyalists honest and moral employees at the Department of Justice, including the FBI.
Douglas said that about 100 years ago, in the wake of the Teapot Dome scandal that exposed corruption within the federal government, there was talk in the Senate of taking the Department of Justice, including the FBI, completely out of politics from under the control of the executive branch and making it and all of its employees an independent part of the civil service an unconstitutional fourth branch of government.
President Donald J. Trump wants to go in the opposite direction today and bring the FBI more under the control of the president continue adhering to the constitution and leave the FBI and DOJ under the jurisdiction of the executive branch.
