The Trump Russia Hoax is in the headlines because of new information and new whistleblowers. But sometimes the press (mainstream and otherwise) overlooks the read purpose of the hoax. When President Trump was elected the first time, the hoax was no longer useful in preventing him from being elected. The hoax had some value as a way to hamstring his administration and tie them down with lawsuits and other baseless things (which it did), but why did it continue for so long? Possibly because it was working, but there is another reason.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, Townhall<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n It\u2019s over, man. Over. The Russian collusion hoax has been so thoroughly exposed, so stripped down to the bare bones, that it\u2019s now just as pathetic as it is disconcerting. The largest intelligence operation in American history was used against us\u2014and for what? To cover Hillary Clinton\u2019s botched use of an unsecured server while she served as Barack Obama\u2019s top diplomat. Since the server was unsecured, it was likely<\/a> hacked<\/a>, and files were retrieved. Democrats needed to take action to launch countermeasures. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n There was no file on Donald Trump from the Russians, but they did have one on Ms. Clinton. Former Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi had a damning post summarizing all the document dumps that have occurred over the past few days\u2014all of which point to a cover-up and Obama\u2019s people working vigorously to set up Mr. Trump to get Hillary out of a jam<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Racket News<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n Now, we know. With the help of the declassified Durham material, we can explain the whole affair in three brushstrokes.<\/strong><\/p>\n One, Hillary Clinton and her team apparently hoped to deflect from her email scandal and other problems via a campaign tying Trump to Putin. Two, American security services learned of these plans. Three \u2014 and this is the most important part \u2014 instead of outing them, authorities used state resources to massively expand and amplify her scheme. The last stage required the enthusiastic cooperation and canine incuriosity of the entire commercial news business, which cheered as conspirators made an enforcement target of Trump, actually an irrelevant bystander.<\/strong><\/p>\n I don’t know what the statute of limitations is on some of these crimes, but if we are to have ‘equal justice under the law,’ every person involved in this scheme needs to go to jail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Trump Russia Hoax is in the headlines because of new information and new whistleblowers.
