Quickies: A Big BLEEP!ing Deal

     Well, the memo is out, and all of Mankind has read it, and a lot of people are saying “no big deal, we knew all that already.” I beg to differ. It is a big deal. Among other things, it tells us:

• That Christopher Steele, the composer of the anti-Trump dossier, was an expressed, passionate anti-Trumper;
• That the Steele dossier was verifiably paid for by the Clinton for President campaign;
• That the FBI knew that;
• That Steele’s "corroboration" came from Michael Isikoff of Yahoo! News – to whom he had leaked the contents of the dossier;
• That former FBI director James Comey was aware that the dossier was unverified;
• That the FBI would not have applied for a FISA warrant without it;
• Most important of all, that the FBI, which reviewed the memo, agreed that it contained “no factual errors.”

     In other words, the memo tells us that the FBI knowingly allowed itself to be used as a political instrument in the service of a political campaign. Moreover, the FBI’s instrumentality has continued into the Trump presidency – an ongoing attempt to tarnish Trump’s election, possibly all the way to impeachment, trial, conviction, and removal. Moreover still, the Department of Justice has collaborated in the FBI’s attempts to keep that critical revelation from coming to light. That’s a big deal folks.

     It gets bigger when we factor in the collaboration of the Democrat caucus in Congress. These are people so avid for power that they’ll traduce their Constitutional oaths to bring down a president of the other party by the use of completely unverified allegations.

     I don’t think the concept of a “loyal opposition” applies to them, do you?

     What remains is to discover whether the principal actors in this corruption of a law enforcement agency into a political shillelagh will face any legal consequences.

     Have a nice evening.
