“God damn you to hell.”

The quote above were the concluding words of Michael Caputo, a Republican consultant and former Trump campaign aide, in testimony yesterday before the Senate Intelligence Committee. He was being questioned by the Democrats on whether there was any collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russians and decided to tell them exactly what he thought of them, all because of the hell that the committee and the Democrats have put both him and his family through as part of this witchhunt.

Caputo called for an “investigation of the investigators” and said he wanted to know who was “coordinating this attack on President Donald Trump.”

“Forget about all the death threats against my family. I want to know who cost us so much money, who crushed our kids, who forced us out of our home, all because you lost an election,” Caputo said. “I want to know because God damn you to hell.”

Read it all. Caputo outlines in great detail the effort being made to persecute him and his family. Worse, after more than two years of this harassment, there remains no evidence of any collusion between Trump and the Russians. For example,

Caputo said that he was asked about approximately 20 people affiliated with the Trump campaign and whether he was aware if they had been in touch with Russian officials.

“My answer for each of them was the same,” Caputo said. “There was none.”

Lacking evidence of any wrong-doing by Trump and his campaign, what we do have instead is an effort by Washington insiders, mostly Democrats with the help of more than a few Republicans, to destroy the lives of anyone connected with Trump.

Meanwhile, there is ample evidence that Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State gave the Russians control of one quarter of the U.S.’s uranium resources in exchange for significant pay-offs. Meanwhile, there is ample evidence that Democrats in the House handed over to Pakistani agents control of their entire computer system, waiving all background checks. Meanwhile, there is ample evidence that the Democratic Party rigged its primary elections to guarantee a victory for Hillary Clinton. Meanwhile, there is outright and very obvious evidence, in plain sight, that Hillary Clinton broke numerous security laws when she set up her own private server to handle her State Department communications, in direct violation of the law.

None of these things, however, have been investigated by Robert Mueller, the FBI, or the Department of Justice, even though the evidence for each is blatant and has been well documented, in public sources.

The 2018 election will determine with we will live in a free society run by the rule of law. Based on recent events, I am not hopeful. It appears to me that too many Americans have decided that witchhunts against people they disagree with is a good thing, and they want more of them.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Making political government service a legal and personal threat to you and your family if you are not of the correct political orientation is not being done by mistake. It is a down and dirty, cut throat and desperate strategy to dissuade those who would dare to think differently and challenge the established Liberal now Leftist powers that be. And it is effective, who would want to put themselves through such an assured torture?

    This will be getting worse before it ever gets better. These are the actions of the Liberal now Leftist Democrat party death spiral and as it approaches I expect them to become violent because this next midterm election is for all the marbles.

    And Kanye’s public commentary serves to give the black population permission to think different, and that also terrifies the Left, with good reason. The media will be involved in a concerted effort to counter Kanye’s thinking and giving of permission to think different. After all the Democrats fully believe that they “Own” the black vote. Sound familiar, its an old theme?

    ITS COMING.

    In the media we see headlines like “Trumps Madness”.

    Think a bit about this, in 2017 Trump met with Robert Mueller in an interview related applying to take the position of Director Of The FBI after James St. Comey was fired by Trump. One problem I have come across related to the stated purpose of this meeting, a job. Robert Mueller is ineligible to serve as the Director Of The FBI.

    Why is that? https://www.thoughtco.com/10-year-limit-fbi-director-3367704

    So now we have to ask the question: Why did D.J. Trump and Robert Mueller the day before Mueller was assigned to be the Special Council investigating “Trump / Russia Collusion” by Rosenstein really meet?

    This does not make sense and we all know things have to ultimately make sense.

    One potential is that this entire drama being played out in the media before the American peoples eyes may well be something other than what it is portrayed as being.

    Think about it, why then did Trump and Mueller meet if Mueller could not become FBI Director?

  • Cotour

    “FBI directors are limited to serving no more than 10 years in the position unless granted a special exception by the president and Congress. The 10-year term limit for the Federal Bureau of Investigations chief executive has been in place since 1973.”

    I suppose that Trump and the Congress could have made an exception for Mueller but I would think that Mueller would have been aware that he would be selected by Rosenstein the next day as special prosecutor and that meeting with Trump might have been a clear conflict of interest related to his position today investigating Trump.

    This just creates another layer of conflict of interest in the leadership of the FBI and the what looks like a political hit job.

    To the “Deep states” advantage, they are going to act with impunity and they will get the result that they want and need, the invalidating or removal of not their president. Mueller IMO blatantly compromised himself by meeting with Trump the day before his being chosen special council related to the investigation, or something else is going on (?).

    You can see it continuing with how Rosenstein is acting, being interviewed, he is on a PR tour he is selling it. Not giving the Congress what is theirs by right to have. Rosenstein needs to read the Constitution and understand what is what. He says the HE and the FBI will not be extorted.

    How can he or the FBI be extorted if the Congress demands what is theirs to demand from him?

    If we step back and see this entire thing in context over years and not news cycle days we understand that there was and is a much bigger and more expansive national and even international agenda being played out. Think of Obamas many, many counter intuitive anti American speeches and actions, and Hillary was lined up to follow through on the agenda.

    Then came Trump. IMO We / US are thinking much too narrowly about events that are playing out in the now but the reality is that there was very big money and big plans for America and the world until it was unexpectedly stopped out by the Trump presidency.

    Trump has literally accomplished more than the last 4 presidents combined in only 19 months, the other presidents appear to have been slow walking us all into the Globalization / One World Government model, both Republicans and Democrats.

    We are or were the frog in the slowly warming water, Trump stopped that.

    The interesting thing is that the person who he refers to is still working with the media, government, and politicians. The media doesn’t examine the relationships. Everything is hidden in plain sight.

    I have no hope for justice as the people running the special counsel are the ones who rigged the Hillary matters and who rigged every investigation into the lawlessness of the Obama administration.

    The Nazi strategy works! For awhile; then—–

    What the dems are doing is EXACTLY what Hitlers crew did to the Jews; forcing them out of business and taking those businesses for themselves. No difference IMO.

    The good news from all of this fizzling-out political turmoil is that the public has caught onto the concept that nukes are not going to rain down upon them by a crazy person. This upsets the Democrats since they are seeking election. This crazy-person nuke-fear has been extinguished by Trump with just a couple of tweets. This public demonstration of profane Democratic kickback is simply one non-elected person’s bravado. It has no public influence. It appears that the Democrats are pouncing on this guy with the hope that they will get votes in the upcoming election. “Not ganna happen. No new nukes coming!” as President Bush used to say.

  • Cotour

    This is a perfect example of Strategy Over Morality (S.O.M.) operations, Caputo is living it. Politics is ultimately about the retention and acquisition of power and not as many think about morality, justice or American interests. That thinking is naive. Destroying someone in the opposition sends the message to stay away or we will destroy you with the powers that we have acquired and retained.

    Trump being a real American existential threat to the Left will bring out the very worst in them, and Trump on top of it all has accomplished more than the last 4 presidents have accomplished over all of their administrations in only 20 months.

    Why is that?

    Because the last 4 presidents have been slow walking America to the gallows of Globalization and the New World Order model. Trump is an actual driven American leader that sees and understands the counter intuitive actions of the past, the last 4 presidents were IMO tresonous tools of an agenda.

    And to Laurie: To who’s benefit? The Deep State benefits, the deep state will do anything, and I mean anything to survive and we are all watching that play out.

  • Cotour

    Further support for the argument that the Democrats operate at a level of pure objective strategy focused on promoting their interests.

    http://thehill.com/opinion/judiciary/386067-rod-rosenstein-is-not-above-the-law

    If Rosenstein is an employee of the government and is overseen and subservient to the Congress who is he to refuse to supply the Congress with the information that they rightfully demand?

    Give him a date sure for him to deliver the demanded documents and then without hesitation impeach him or worse upon him not performing what is reasonable.

    Know the game, play the game, win the game.

    If this investigation into Trump / Russia collusion, which has turned up nothing of substance, is to be fair then Mueller, Rosenstein and most of the remaining members of the leadership of the FBI and DOJ that to date have not been fired or demoted for their corrupt acts related to THEIR collusion need to be dismissed.

    The list of bad actors *In the government* that have over stepped their authority and abused their power is long and the list begins with St. James Comey and then McCabe. Both Mueller and Rosenstein are conflicted because on the face of it they are long time associates of the now disgraced and fired former leaders of the FBI St. Comey and McCabe.

    Both Rosenstein and Mueller must go or better yet rely on the Intelligence Commitee Report which found no collusion between Trump and the Russians and end it

    Keeping in mind that both Rosenstein and Mueller were in the leadership of the FBI during real Russian collusion and sat on vital information withheld from the Congress as Secretary Of State Hillary (their next boss) Clinton and former president Bill Clinton funneled a $145 million dollar facilitators tip from the Russians into their own fraudulent Foundation. Now that is collusion! But they could not see it

    In closing, the people of America are absorbing all of this political inequity and unfairness and will speak in the November elections. Look forward to non traditional results from the voting in November 2018
