Update on the plot to rig the election for Hilliary

Friday's firing of FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is just the beginning of what is likely to be the most explosive series of revelations in American history.
 

Agents of the FBI and other intelligence agencies are likely to find themselves accused of behavior that's illegal in a free republic. And it will not just be self-important, oblivious morons like Peter Strzok (who, astonishingly, was the director of counter-intelligence for the FBI) and his mistress, attorney Lisa Page, but is likely to include former FBI director James Comey, Obama's attorney-general Loretta Lynch, Obama's CIA chief John Brennan, James Clapper, Susan Rice, and possibly even Obama himself.

All these people were willing to break the law for what they apparently considered a worthwhile reason: to prevent Donald Trump from winning the presidency over Hillary Clinton.

They were willing to use the power of the FBI and other intelligence agencies to fix the election.  And once their candidate lost, they went on to try to damage Trump's presidency as severely as possible.  That they didn't stop to think that they might be wounding America at the same time is infuriating.

Even more infuriating is that half of Americans--and the entire mainstream media--believe the plotters didn't really do anything wrong.  Yes, dear reader, most Democrats and the entire media actually claim to believe that it's fine for the top officials of what's amusingly called "the nation's top law-enforcement agency" to do anything they can to ensure their favored candidate--Democrat, of course--wins.

Leaving "unlawful" aside for a moment:  How would you bastards feel if the FBI had done the same thing, but trying to sink Hilliary instead of Trump, eh?  Do, do try to convince us deplorables that it would be just peachy with ya.  Really.  Try hard to make us believe that.

So many Americans have lost confidence in the FBI because of this that it's doubtful that the agency's reputation can recover.  Future Americans won't be able to avoid wondering if any given agent was in on the plot.  "Should I really cooperate with someone who was so cavalier about sabotaging a presidential election?"

Of course Democrats are all over Twitter attacking Trump for allegedly firing McCabe.  But in fact the firing was recommended by an FBI agency called the Office of Professional Responsibility, which isn't an ally of the Republican Party or even close.

While the far-Left media are having a fit, as far as I can see at this point the response of the WaPo and NYT has been...oddly muted.  I suspect they knew the truth all along (after all, McCabe, Strzok and other FBI officials were constantly leaking to those papers), and at this point they're not sure which side will win.

You'd think the media would want the FBI, DOJ and intel agencies to be both honest and accountable to citizens.  And unbiased.  But media coverage of the plot thus far shows that they don't care a whit about ordinary citizens compared to their Hilliary.

One always hopes the nation may have reached a turning point, where even Democrats and the media begin to agree that agents of the previous president in the FBI and DOJ shouldn't try to rig elections. Unfortunately, I think we're there yet.  Obama holdovers and RINOs may yet allow all the lawbreakers to escape unpunished.  We'll see.
