Democrats face backlash for Russian collusion narrative: The Democrats' Russian collusion narrative against President Trump has backfired, leaving them facing a backlash and panic in DC. The media's failure to help dismantle the Trump team has led to turning poll numbers and fear of being destroyed by their own tactics.
The tables have turned on the Democrats in their pursuit of the Russian collusion narrative against President Trump. They are now facing the same tactics they used against him, and many in DC are panicking as a result. The Democrats had hoped that the media would help them dismantle the Trump team with this narrative, but it hasn't worked out that way. Instead, the poll numbers have turned against them, and they fear being destroyed by these tactics. Trump's use of Twitter as a powerful tool to drive the narrative has put the media in a corner, and they're now looking for a retreat. This is an important realization to understand in light of recent events, such as the resignation of Michael Cohen's attorney, Lanny Davis, who represented a key witness in the Mueller investigation. The Democrats' collusion narrative has been exposed as a joke, and they're scrambling to respond.
Democrats considering retreat on Spygate, acknowledging focus on Russian interference: Democrats may acknowledge Russian focus in Spygate probe to avoid further scrutiny and exposure of past actions, driven by fear of damaging evidence and inability to escape reporting and historical record.
The Democrats are reportedly considering a tactical retreat in the ongoing Spygate controversy by acknowledging that the investigation into the Trump campaign was not primarily about Trump but rather about Russian interference in the 2016 election. This is being done in an attempt to avoid further scrutiny and exposure of their past actions. The IG report on DOJ and FBI misconduct during the Clinton investigation is adding to the Democrats' panic. The peace with honor approach involves leaving the Democrats alone on the Spygate issue in exchange for them dropping allegations against Trump. This strategy is driven by the Democrats' fear of being exposed for their past actions and the damaging evidence that has come to light. The peace with honor approach also relies on the Democrats being unable to escape their own reporting and historical record of the events. The Democrats' past statements and actions, which have been documented extensively in public forums, are being used against them.
Misleading statements from Trey Gowdy on the FBI's investigation into Russian interference: Trey Gowdy's downplaying of the FBI's investigation into Russian interference contradicts public testimonies from key figures and misrepresents the facts.
Former congressman Trey Gowdy's statement on Martha McSally's show, downplaying the FBI's investigation into the Russian government's interference in the 2016 presidential election and the potential coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia, contradicts public testimonies from key figures like Jim Comey. The investigation included looking into links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government. The FBI's actions were not only acknowledged by Comey but also by other intelligence officials like James Clapper. Gowdy's statements, therefore, were misleading and contradictory to the facts. The investigation was not an attack on Trump or the Republican Party but a necessary step in a constitutional republic to protect the democratic process.
Desperation to end the spy gate investigation: Democrats are desperate to make the spy gate investigation go away due to potential damage to their narrative and broader implications for accountability and transparency.
The individuals involved in the discussion are expressing their desperation for the ongoing investigation into the "spy gate" story to come to an end. They are trying to downplay the significance of the investigation and even going as far as avoiding the use of the word "spy." The reason for their desperation is that the investigation is damaging to their narrative and could potentially lead to further revelations. Additionally, the conversation veered off topic to a discussion about Father's Day and gifts for dads from Man Crates. Despite the tangent, the underlying theme of desperation remains consistent. The individuals seem to be in a state of panic and are looking for ways to distract from the investigation. From a 30,000 foot view, the Democrats are desperate to make the entire investigation go away due to its potential damaging effects on their narrative. They are running away from any inquiries into what exactly happened and are trying to change the subject. The bigger problem for them is the broader narrative of accountability and transparency, which goes beyond just the spy gate story. In conclusion, the individuals in the discussion are trying to downplay the significance of the ongoing investigation and are in a state of desperation to make it go away. Their desperation stems from the potential damage it could cause to their narrative and the broader implications for accountability and transparency.
British Spy's Fake Memos Sparked Trump-Russia Probe: The Trump-Russia probe was based on a dossier of false information compiled by a British spy at the request of the Clinton campaign, raising concerns about the weaponization of intelligence agencies against political opponents.
The ongoing investigation into Donald Trump's alleged collusion with Russia during the 2016 presidential election was based on a series of fake memos compiled by a British spy at the behest of the Hillary Clinton campaign. These memos, collectively known as the dossier, contained false information that was used to initiate the investigation. Now that the origins of the case are coming to light, the Democrats and their allies in the media are in a panic because they cannot admit that they spied on the Trump campaign based on false information provided by a political opponent. The latest narrative shift in the story explains why the origin story keeps changing and why the FBI and DOJ are hiding key documents from Congress. The dossier and the collusion narrative it spawned were unverified and debunked, yet they were used to target and investigate a presidential candidate. This is a significant development that raises serious concerns about the weaponization of intelligence agencies against political opponents.
FBI's 2016 investigation based on false dossier: The FBI's use of a false dossier to justify spying on a political campaign raises serious questions about the legitimacy of the investigation and potential misuse of power.
The FBI's investigation into the Trump campaign in 2016 was based on false information from a dossier, which was sworn to in a warrant and used in a FISA court. The Democrats' attempts to downplay the significance of this issue, known as the "Steele dossier," are not persuasive given that the dossier's falsehoods were used to justify spying on an opposition political campaign. The FBI and DOJ are now trying to distance themselves from the dossier, but they cannot escape its consequences as it was used in a court of law. This raises serious questions about the legitimacy of the investigation and the potential misuse of power by law enforcement agencies.
The Dossier's Role in the Russia Probe: The Dossier was a crucial piece of information that helped the FBI meet the probable cause threshold to begin the Russia investigation.
The dossier played a crucial role in the FBI's decision to obtain a warrant to investigate Trump during the Russia probe. Contrary to some claims, the dossier was not about something other than Trump, but rather it was the critical piece of information that helped the FBI meet the probable cause threshold to begin the investigation. Probable cause is a high standard of proof required to obtain a warrant, and the FBI did not have enough information without the dossier. The media and some politicians may downplay the significance of the dossier, but it was a vital component of the warrant process. The FBI did not include "extra stuff" in the warrant application because they did not want to expose themselves to unnecessary risk and because they did not need to. They obtained the warrant with the information they had, and used it to gather more information later. The whole point of the warrant process is to establish probable cause and begin an investigation, not to have all the information upfront.
Democrats shift focus from dossier to alleged 2015 Russian interference: New information suggests Russian interference in 2015, Democrats change narrative to distract from discredited dossier, media promotes inconsistencies, truth and transparency needed
The Democrats' case against Trump's campaign in 2016 hinges on the infamous dossier. However, as new information emerges, they are shifting the narrative to focus on alleged Russian interference in 2015. This new story suggests that foreign intelligence entities passed suspicious information to the US intelligence community regarding the Trump team, even before some team members were officially hired. The speaker argues that this narrative is a tactical retreat to distract from the dossier, which has been discredited. The shifting narratives have left many confused, and the speaker criticizes the media for promoting these inconsistencies. Ultimately, the speaker believes that the truth should be made public, and the American people deserve transparency in government surveillance activities.
Origins of Russia investigation unclear and contradictory: Despite unclear origins, investigation based on discredited dossier raises concerns about motivations and tactics
The origins of the investigation into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in 2015 are unclear and contradictory, with various entities taking turns being blamed for the genesis of the story. Despite this, we are now supposed to trust that the information that sparked the investigation was of significant importance, despite it being based on a dossier that has since been discredited. The inconsistencies and suspicious actions surrounding the investigation, including the delay in obtaining a FISA warrant and the failure to brief the Trump team, raise serious questions about the motivations and tactics used in this investigation. The fact that this investigation was based on a spurious dossier and the efforts to hide this fact from the public underscores the need for transparency and accountability in our government.
Fear of leftist police state and totalitarianism: Recognize potential dangers of big government control and stay informed to hold elected representatives accountable
The current political climate in the United States is a cause for concern, with the speaker expressing fear over the country's lurch towards a leftist police state and totalitarianism. This is not about supporting or criticizing any particular political figure, but rather recognizing the potential dangers of big government control over various aspects of citizens' lives. The speaker also criticized the media for their handling of certain issues and their role in perpetuating misinformation. It's important for individuals to stay informed and hold their elected representatives accountable, and for companies like FilterBuy to support values that align with individual freedoms.
Understanding Private Property in Capitalism: Capitalism values private property as a fundamental freedom, essential for individual work and acquisition, opposed to government ownership, with truth and accuracy crucial for journalism to maintain trust.
The ownership of private property is a fundamental aspect of capitalism, and it's essential to understand that the question is not whether property exists or not, but rather who owns it. A New York Times reporter was criticized for reporting inaccurately on crowd size at a Trump rally, highlighting the importance of truth and accuracy in journalism. Capitalism is often debated based on economic perspectives, but it also has a compassionate moral component. Private property is a basic freedom, allowing individuals to work and acquire things for their own use, which cannot be taken away. The opposite of private property is government ownership, and it's crucial to understand the implications of each system. To avoid being labeled as "fake news," media outlets should strive for accuracy and truthfulness in their reporting.
Understanding Capitalism by its Negation: Capitalism values individual freedom, private property, and market-driven solutions, which are negated in alternatives like government ownership, working for nothing, and rationing resources.
Capitalism is defined by what it isn't rather than what it is. The discussion highlighted that capitalism is characterized by private property ownership, the ability to trade labor for wages, and a price system for allocating resources. The negation of these principles leads to alternatives such as government ownership of property, working for nothing, and rationing resources. These alternatives are not desirable. Therefore, one can understand the morality of capitalism by recognizing what it isn't and appreciating the value of individual freedom, private property, and market-driven solutions.
