2018, perpetual investigations

MOTIVE BEHIND ATTACKS ON TRUMP, SURVIVAL!

CORRUPTION IN THE FBI AND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT

It has been obvious since Trump's election that there has been a coordinated effort by the Washington establishment, both democratic and republican, to force Trump out of office as soon as possible. At first one had to assume that their motive was just plain political power, but as time has gone on, it now appears that the motive is survival. Survival from the exposure of the corruption at the FBI, the Justice department, the IRS and who know where all this will lead.

When Trump was elected, he stated that he had no intention of pursuing investigations into Hillary Clinton or any other scandals from the past. He was ready to get to work to implement his vision for the future of the country. But that was not to be the case. In an effort to protect their jobs, legacy and freedom, many in Washington threw down the gauntlet of investigation into anything they could to remove Trump from office. Now it looks like we are about to witness a war of investigations and indictments that could consume all of the next year.

The leadership of the FBI and Justice department in particular had gone all in to make sure that Hillary Clinton would be the next President. They were convinced that anything they did on her behalf would be rewarded in the next administration. To their surprise and dismay Trump won and now everything was about to blow up like a giant mushroom cloud in Washington. They could not take the risk that Trump would not try to expose their indiscretions. It had to be all out effort to get him out as soon as possible.

They have been aided by a press with close connections to the government. Many of the press move back and forth between media jobs and government jobs. Many of their wives, husbands, children and unemployable in laws have jobs in government. They are a natural ally in preserving the status quo.

Now it is becoming clear, that laws were broken in the Hillary Clinton investigations. That immunity was given to people in an attempt to keep them silent. That a colossal cover-up has been perpetuated. 

It also is clear that there was collusion between the Clinton campaign and the FBI to tarnish and put Trump in jeopardy. That it has been covered up. That there has been lying to investigators. That they are withholding information requested by the Senate and House investigators. That they are going all out to protect the reputation of the FBI and themselves. The House and Senate investigators and the inspector general have enough evidence to start indicting people. The propaganda war is in full swing. Who will be the winner is yet to be determined. The loser is the reputation of government agencies and the media, which will take decades to recover, if ever.

All this, while we have serious problems around the world. The ability of the United States to conduct foreign policy is greatly hampered when the future of the government is so uncertain. It is a perfect time for our adversaries to put the country to a serious test. You can bet those trying to survive will use any opportunities for their benefit.
