There's an expression that's repeated ad nauseum. It's to the effect that what you accuse others of doing, you are actually doing. In other words, it's a form of projection.
If you're old enough, like well over 50, you would remember the Watergate saga of 1972. A famous movie was made about it, All The President's Men. People like Bob Woodward and Leonard Bernstein of the Washington Post became legendary figures due to the event.
Watergate was a building in Washington D.C. that housed the Democratic Party National Headquarters. The Committee to reelect then-President Richard Nixon with the acronym CREEP set up a group of five operatives to break into the headquarters to get dirt on the opposing candidate, George McGovern. They were caught and arrested.
Despite the burglary, Nixon was reelected by a landslide. He only lost two of the 50 states in the electoral college voting system. By 1973 hearings were held, and slowly it came out that the burglary was planned by people around Nixon. Though Nixon wasn't involved, tape recordings showed that he was involved in a cover-up, and he resigned in 1974 after the House of Representatives impeached him.
Fast forward to the Trump Presidency. Trump always stated that his phones were wiretapped. People thought he was crazy. Of course, today, there is no "wiretapping", but the surveillance is in the form of electronic eavesdropping. This was before Trump even became President.
While Trump was President, the Democrats spent an endless amount of time linking Trump to Russia's Putin. Somehow speaking to a foreign leader was suddenly treasonous. Many forgot that during the era of the Soviet Union, American leaders had to converse and negotiate with the Soviets.
After much money spent, impeachments and special prosecutors, nothing was found on Trump. We found out that the Russian collusion story was a fake, made-up story to take down Trump.
A special prosecutor named John Durham has made a court filing that Hillary Clinton or her campaign paid a tech company to spy on candidate Trump and the actual White House. Clinton campaign's law firm hired a tech company to "mine" internet data which means it searched for information that could be used to claim a Trump-Russia connection. This is analogous to breaking into an office but also planting erroneous information. In the case of spying on a President, it is definitely a crime.
Durham says Democrat-allied tech executives spied on Trump's White House office
You can read the actual court filing here against lawyer Michael Sussman. Specifically, refer to clauses 2 and 3.
The whole point of the exercise was to make up a falsehood against Donald Trump and Russia. It appears that the Democratic Party USA is obsessed with Russia. They are beating the war drums with Ukraine, almost egging on the Russians to attack.
Remember too, this was the same Hillary Clinton who kept top secret information on a home internet server while she was Secretary of State. Yet, the head of the FBI refused to prosecute her despite the fact that Clinton broke the law.
America has fallen so far where the end justifies the means. You may not like Donald Trump. But if not "liking" a politician is justification for committing treason, then most countries would be in a continuous state of conflict. This whole episode makes a joke about the January 6 "insurrection," where a protest got a bit out of hand. It also shows that politically the U.S. is not that dissimilar from China.
In comparison to the Clinton machine and Big Tech, Richard Nixon was amateurish on surveillance of the opposition.
This will be my last posting for about a week as I am moving house.
Best wishes Ely for a smooth house moving.
Always a big deal.
