President Donald Trump Undoing the Obama’s Legacy

LET’S HOPE SO, THAT’S WHY HE WAS ELECTED …

A Tale of Two Presidents: Why is President Donald J. Trump so reviled by the LEFT, Democrats, MSM and Progressives? Is it because of his brash, harsh tweets, his take no prisoners attitude, his say what he damn well feels like it to the media or his just mere presence? Well yes of course. But the real reason is Trump is undoing the Obama years piece by piece. The Progressive dream is being dismantled. To the LEFT’s horror, the global warming and illegal immigration are on the top of the hit list. Whine as the LEFT and Never-Trumpers’ try and lie that Trump is somehow like Stalin, Hitler, or Mussolini, it was in fact Barack Hussein Obama who was the one who weaponized the FBI, IRS, DOJ and EPA against his enemies. Not Trump. All Trump is doing is undoing the past 8 years of Obama and “Making America Great Again” to the reality of a stock market that crossed a record 26K today.

Obama, waiving goodbye to his legacy

Yet one way of understanding Trump — particularly the momentum of his first year — is through recollection of the last eight years of the Obama administration. In reductionist terms, Trump is the un-Obama. Surprisingly, that is saying quite a lot more than simple reductive negativism. Republicans have not seriously attempted to roll back the administrative state since Reagan. On key issues of climate change, entitlements, illegal immigration, government spending, and globalization, it was sometimes hard to distinguish a Bush initiative from a Clinton policy or a McCain bill from a Biden proposal. There was often a reluctant acceptance of the seemingly inevitable march to the European-style socialist administrative state.

Even his critics sometimes concede that his economic and foreign-policy agendas are bringing dividends. In some sense, it is not so much because of innovative policy, but rather that he is simply bullying his way back to basics we’ve forgotten over the past decades.

The wonder was never how to grow the economy at 3 percent (all presidents prior to 2009 had at one time or another done just that), but rather, contrary to “expert” economic opinion, how to discover ways to prevent that organic occurrence.

Obama was the first modern president who apparently figured out how. It took the efforts of a 24/7 redistributionist agenda of tax increases, federalizing health care, massive new debt, layers of more regulation, zero-interest rates, neo-socialist regulatory appointments, expansionary eligibility for entitlements, and constant anti-free-market jawboning that created a psychological atmosphere conducive to real retrenchment, mental holding patterns, and legitimate fears over discernable success. Obama weaponized federal agencies including the IRS, DOJ, and EPA in such a manner as to worry anyone successful, prominent, and conservative enough to come under the federal radar of a vindictive Lois Lerner, Eric Holder, or a FISA court.

Trump has sought to undo all that, point by point. The initial result so far is not rocket science, but rather a natural expression of what happens when millions of Americans believe they have greater freedom and safety to profit and innovate, and trust they will not be punished, materially or psychologically, for the ensuing successful results. The radical upsurge in business and consumer confidence is not revolutionary but almost natural. The Left and Never Trump Right claim that Trump is Stalin, Hitler, or Mussolini. In fact, for the first time in eight years, it is highly unlikely that the FBI, IRS, CIA, DOJ, and other alphabet-soup agencies see their tasks as going after the president’s perceived opponents.

Congressional Probe into Possible News Leaks by FBI Agents

THE FBI, DOJ, NSA & IRS ALL NEED TO BE PURGED …

As reported by John Soloman at The Hill, Republican-led House and Senate committees are investigating whether the individuals involved in the Russia counterintelligence investigation had contacts with the news media that resulted in improper leaks. That would be illegal leaks. Did FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page leak information to the media? UNREAL. The very people who are supposed to enforce the laws of the United States are the ones breaking them. But when its “Get Trump,” all things are allowed. These people and several others in the FBI, DOJ and throw in the IRS need to be tried and sent to prison. When America loses faith in these so-called apolitical entities, its over. As stated at Red State, “All signs point to FBI Text Messages Suggest Senior Agents Were Sources of Trump Dossier Leaks.”

Republican-led House and Senate committees are investigating whether leaders of the Russia counterintelligence investigation had contacts with the news media that resulted in improper leaks, prompted in part by text messages amongst senior FBI officials mentioning specific reporters, news organizations and articles.

In one exchange, FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and bureau lawyer Lisa Page engaged in a series of texts shortly before Election Day 2016 suggesting they knew in advance about an article in The Wall Street Journal and would need to feign stumbling onto the story so it could be shared with colleagues.

“Article is out, but hidden behind paywall so can’t read it,” Page texted Strzok on Oct. 24, 2016.

“Wsj? Boy that was fast,” Strzok texted back, using the initials of the famed financial newspaper. “Should I ‘find’ it and tell the team?”

The text messages, which were reviewed by The Hill, show the two FBI agents discussed how they might make it appear they innocently discovered the article, such as through Google News alerts.

“I can get it like I do every other article that hits any Google News alerts, seriously,” Strzok wrote, adding he didn’t want his team hearing about the article “from someone else.”

President Trump Rips FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe & former FBI Director James Comey

MCCABE AND COMEY DESERVED TO BE RIPPED AND MADE EXAMPLES OF … TIME TO PROSECUTE THESE TWO!!!

As reported at The Hill, President Donald Trump ripped both FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe and former FBI Director James Comey on Twitter. Trump has every right to shred these two and it has nothing to do with the rank and file of the majority of those at the FBI. However, its leadership needs to be fired and jailed for their actions. The FBI as a whole does a tremendous job; however, it is those at the top who tried to alter a presidential election and acted in such political bias that need to be outed for their actions. The FBI under Comey and McCabe acted with such corruption, bias and collusion with regards to Hillary Clinton and her email scandal and President Trump and the so-called Russian collusion that it reeks to the high heavens.

President Trump lashed out at top FBI officials on Saturday, his latest in a stream of criticism of the nation’s premier law enforcement agency that has reportedly diminished morale among its agents and employees.

Trump swiped at multiple agency officials in a string of tweets Saturday afternoon, suggesting that FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe may have been compromised by political donations and ripping former FBI Director James Comey as a leaker.

“How can FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, the man in charge, along with leakin’ James Comey, of the Phony Hillary Clinton investigation (including her 33,000 illegally deleted emails) be given $700,000 for wife’s campaign by Clinton Puppets during investigation?” Trump wrote on Twitter.

That was followed minutes later by a comment on reports that McCabe is looking to retire from the bureau in the coming months, as the No. 2 FBI official faces heated criticism from Republican lawmakers and the president himself.

Trump pointedly noted that McCabe may seek retirement in March, when he would receive his full pension benefits. Trump wrote that the deputy bureau chief was “racing the clock to retire with full benefits,” adding, “90 days to go?!!!”

The Washington Post reported on McCabe’s expected retirement earlier Saturday.

Capping off the flurry of tweets was a reference to reports that James Baker, the FBI’s top lawyer, had been reassigned. Trump reacted to that development with a simple “Wow” on Twitter, though news of Baker’s reassignment had surfaced days earlier.

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe to Retire from the FBI in coming Months & Get Full Pension (VIDEO)

RETIRE? HE NEEDS TO BE FIRED AND PROSECUTED!!!

As reported at The Hill, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is planning to retire in the coming months amid accusations from Republicans of partisanship and bias within the law enforcement agency. WHAT? This corrupt SOB needs to be fired prior to being fully eligible for any pension. Then he needs to be prosecuted and thrown in prison for his part in trying to alter an election. Of course his decision to retire has nothing to do with the fact that McCabe sat before three congressional committees this week, where he faced questions about his conduct and the FBI’s handling of the investigations. DRAIN THE SWAMP, FIRE THIS GUY AND INDITE HIM!!! As reported at The Daily Caller, McCabe’s departure comes days after The Post reported that FBI general counsel Jim Baker will be reassigned.

THE COLLUSION WAS BETWEEN THE FBI & DOJ TO PREVENT TRUMP FROM BEING PRESIDENT!!!

FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is planning to retire in the coming months amid accusations from Republicans of partisanship and bias within the law enforcement agency.

The Washington Post reported Saturday that McCabe plans to step down in a few months, when he is fully eligible for pension benefits. That is expected to happen in early March.

McCabe has weathered GOP criticism of the FBI for over a year, with Republicans questioning the agency’s handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and, more recently, the probe into possible collusion between President Trump’s campaign and Russia.

The deputy director faced particular criticism after it was revealed that his wife, who ran for Virginia state Senate in 2015, received hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from a political action committee led by Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat with close ties to the Clintons.

Rep. Jim Jordan: Appears There Was Orchestrated Plan Within DOJ, FBI to Prevent Trump From Becoming President

Was the Steele Dossier the FBI’s ‘Insurance Policy’?

THINGS THAT MAKE YOU GO HMMM …

Remember the text of the meeting when FBI agent Strzok met in McCabe’s office ahead of the 2016 Presidential election and stated that even though there was no way Trump could get elected and a Trump victory was the longest of long shots, the FBI “can’t take that risk” and he insisted that the bureau had no choice but to proceed with a plan to undermine Trump’s candidacy with this insurance policy … “It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event you die before you’re 40.” National Review asked the question, was the Steele Dossier the FBI’s insurance policy? As unbelievable as it seems, it appear to be true. The FBI used this ridiculous and discredited document to start the wheels in motion to gain the FISA warrants to undermine a presidency and start a coup.

Individuals don’t just need to be fired, they need to be sent to prison.

The FBI’s deputy director Andrew McCabe testified Tuesday at a marathon seven-hour closed-door hearing of the House Intelligence Committee. According to the now-infamous text message sent by FBI agent Peter Strzok to his paramour, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, it was in McCabe’s office that top FBI counterintelligence officials discussed what they saw as the frightening possibility of a Trump presidency. That was during the stretch run of the 2016 campaign, no more than a couple of weeks after they started receiving the Steele dossier — the Clinton campaign’s opposition-research reports, written by former British spy Christopher Steele, about Trump’s purportedly conspiratorial relationship with Vladimir Putin’s regime in Russia.

Was it the Steele dossier that so frightened the FBI? I think so.

Obama-era FBI and Justice Department had great faith in Steele because he had previously collaborated with the bureau on a big case. Plus, Steele was working on the Trump-Russia project with the wife of a top Obama Justice Department official, who was personally briefed by Steele. The upper ranks of the FBI and DOJ strongly preferred Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton, to the point of overlooking significant evidence of her felony misconduct, even as they turned up the heat on Trump. In sum, the FBI and DOJ were predisposed to believe the allegations in Steele’s dossier. Because of their confidence in Steele, because they were predisposed to believe his scandalous claims about Donald Trump, they made grossly inadequate efforts to verify his claims. Contrary to what I hoped would be the case, I’ve come to believe Steele’s claims were used to obtain FISA surveillance authority for an investigation of Trump.

There were layers of insulation between the Clinton campaign and Steele — the campaign and the Democratic party retained a law firm, which contracted with Fusion GPS, which in turn hired the former spy. At some point, though, perhaps early on, the FBI and DOJ learned that the dossier was actually a partisan opposition-research product. By then, they were dug in. No one, after all, would be any the wiser: Hillary would coast to victory, so Democrats would continue running the government; FISA materials are highly classified, so they’d be kept under wraps. Just as it had been with the Obama-era’s Fast and Furious and IRS scandals, any malfeasance would remain hidden.
