Purely Political, By James Buckley

Hillary Clinton and her devotees love to toss out the idea that
Donald Trump and the entire Republican Party present an
“existential threat to our democracy,” but the truth (and they
know it) is that Hillary and her supporters are the real
existential threat.

A Hillary Clinton presidency would have dealt a death blow to
democracy in this country.

The federal trial that took place for the most part of the last
month in Washington, D.C., is the “smoking gun” that proves that
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was the real
impetus behind all the moves to first thwart and then overturn
the Trump presidency.

Justice Department Special Counsel John Durham, heading up the
prosecution of Hillary campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, is the
kind of lawman that legends are made of. Mr. Durham, a former
prosecutor and U.S. attorney for the District of Connecticut,
has a prosecutorial history that features a stint as special
investigator on the Whitey Bulger case, as well as the
successful reversal of murder convictions of four men — Enrico
Tameleo, Joseph Salvati, Peter J. Limone and Louis Greco — who
had apparently been framed by the FBI and whose families secured
a $101.7 million civil judgment against the U.S. government.

Mr. Durham tore through New England revealing FBI agents’ ties
to the Mafia and prosecuted Mafioso figures as well as former
Republican Connecticut Gov. John Rowland. Appointed a special
prosecutor by Attorney General Janet Reno back in 1999, he put
together a team of FBI agents from outside the Boston area to
investigate corruption in the Boston-based FBI office. The
racketeering conviction of retired FBI agent John Connolly Jr.
(under the RICO statutes) and indictment of retired FBI agent H.
Paul Rico (he died before going to trial) followed.

So it seemed appropriate that Attorney General William Barr — at
the request of President Trump — would appoint Mr. Durham to
look into possible Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
That inquiry turned into a criminal probe that so far has led to
the conviction of FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith, who admitted
altering a CIA email to secure a Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act tap of Carter Page, a Trump staffer.

Mr. Durham’s indictment of former Perkins Coie lawyer/partner
Michael Sussmann reveals how devious, how utterly corrupt,
Hillary Clinton and her sycophants and apologists in the press
really were and continue to be. In collusion with Mr. Sussmann
and others, the Clinton campaign packaged and paid for the phony
Steele dossier and both created and perpetuated the “Russia
Collusion” hoax that the mainstream media relied on to tarnish
Mr. Trump before and during his entire presidency.

Just how insidious this plot against the president was is
outlined in the Sussmann indictment.

“In or about early August 2016,” it reads, “Tech Executive-1
called an individual at Internet Company-3. During the call,
Tech Executive-1 instructed the individual to task Internet
Company-3 employees to search for any Internet date reflecting
potential connections or communications between Trump or his
associates and Russia.

“In connection with this tasking, and as alleged in further
detail below, Tech Executive-1’s goal was to support an
‘inference’ and ‘narrative’ regarding Trump that would please
certain ‘VIPs.’

No connections were found, so they’d need to create one.

“It would be possible,” Originator-1 explains, “to fill out a
sales form on two websites, faking the other company’s email
address in each form” and thereby cause them “to appear to
communicate with each other.” Originator-1 then concluded: “If
Tech Executive-1 can take the *inference* we gain through this
team exercise … then work to develop even an inference may be
worthwhile.”

“Let’s for a moment think of the best-case scenario,” he
continued, “where we are able to show (somehow) that DNS
[Director of National Security] communication exists between
Trump and Russia. How do we plan to defend against the criticism
that this is not spoofed traffic we are observing? There is no
answer to that. Let’s assume again they (investigative reporters
and security experts) are not smart enough to refute our ‘best
case’ scenario.”

Tech Executive-1 interrupts: “You do realize,” he says, “that we
will have to expose every trick we have in our bag to even make
a very weak association? Let’s all reflect upon that for a
moment … The only thing that drives us at this point is that we
just do not like Trump. This will not fly in (the) eyes of
public scrutiny. Folks, I am afraid we have tunnel vision. Time
to regroup?”

Mr. Durham’s indictment cites that: “SUSSMANN continued to bill
time on these matters to the Clinton Campaign.”

Later, the team leader brags about the white paper having
“smartly” avoided discussing weaknesses or “holes” in the
paper’s hypothesis: “A DNS expert would poke several holes to
this hypothesis (primarily around visibility, about which very
smartly you do not talk about). That being said, I do not think
even the top security (non-DNS) researchers can refute your
statements.”

“Nice!”

In other words, no one would be smart enough to realize that the
entire collusion narrative was fraudulent. Even the most
hardened of Democrats should be ashamed and unnerved by these
revelations.

Former President Trump had no connection with Russian President
Vladimir Putin. There was no “collusion” between the 2016 Trump
for President campaign and anyone in Russia, president or
otherwise. We do know, however, that collusion took place
between the 2016 Hillary for President campaign and Russian
interlopers.

Because President Trump exposed the Russia collusion/Steele
dossier gambit as the dirty political trick that it was, the
Democratic Party impeached him for it. “Obstruction of justice”
charges were leveled against the president for calling a hoax a
hoax.

No one should wonder why some of us continue to believe that the
2020 election was indeed a sham and that President Trump should
still be President Trump.
