Kunstler: Deep Quandaries of the Deep State
Watergate had tragic Shakespearean overtones, with Nixon as King Lear, but Russia-Gate — perhaps the last gate America goes through on its giant slalom run to collapse — is but a Chinese Fire Drill writ large. The reason? In 1973, we were still a serious people. Today, the most lavishly credentialed elite in history believe the most preposterous “stories,” or, surely even worse, pretend to believe them for political advantage.
Now, an epic battle of wills is setting up as Robert Mueller’s investigation concludes its business and its primary target, the Golden Golem of Greatness, girds his loins to push back. Behind the flimsy scrim of Russia collusion accusations stands a bewildering maze of criminal mischief by a matrix of federal agencies that lost control of their own dark operation to meddle in the 2016 election. The US intel community (CIA, NSA, FBI, etc), with the Department of Justice, all colluded with the Hillary Clinton campaign and the intel agencies of the UK and Australia, to derail Mr. Trump as a stooge of Russia and, when he shocked them by getting elected, mounted a desperate campaign to cover their asses knowing he had become their boss. The Obama White House was involved in all this, attempting to cloak itself in plausible deniability, which may be unwinding now, too. How might all this play out from here?
One big mystery is how long will Mr. Trump wait to declassify any number of secret files, memoranda, and communications that he’s been sitting on for months. My guess is that this stuff amounts to a potent weapon against his adversaries and he will wait until Mr. Mueller releases a final report before declassifying it. Then, we’ll have a fine constitutional crisis as the two sides vie for some sort of adjudication. Who, for instance, will adjudicate the monkey business that is already on-the-record involving misdeeds in the Department of Justice itself? Will the DOJ split into two contesting camps, each charging the other? How might that work? Does the Acting Attorney General Mr. Whitaker seek indictments against figures such as Bruce Ohr, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, et al. Will he also rope in intel cowboys John Brennan and James Clapper? Might Hillary find herself in jeopardy — all the while on the other side Mr. Mueller pursues his targets, characters like Mr. Manafort, Michael Cohen, and the hapless Carter Page?
Or might Mr. Mueller, and others, possibly find themselves in trouble, as spearheads of a bad-faith campaign to weaponize government agencies against a sitting president? That might sound outlandish, but the evidence is adding up. In fact the evidence of a Deep State gone rogue is far more compelling than any charges Mr. Mueller has so far produced on Trump-Russia “collusion.” An example of bad faith is former FBI Director James Comey’s current campaign to avoid testifying in closed session before the House Judiciary and Oversight committees — he filed a motion just before Thanksgiving. Mr. Comey is pretending that an open session would be “transparent.” His claim is mendacious. If he were questioned about classified matters in an open session, he would do exactly what he did before in open session: decline to answer about “sensitive” matters on the basis of national security. He could make no such claims in a closed session. The truth is, his attorneys are trying to run out the clock on the current composition of the house committees, which will come under a Democrat majority in January, so that Mr. Comey can avoid testifying altogether.
There are other dicey matters awaiting some kind of adjudication elsewhere. For instance, who is going to review the chain of decisions among the FISA judges who approved of warrants made in bad faith to spy on US citizens? Perhaps the shrinking violet, Mr. Huber, out in the Utah Prosecutor’s Office of the DOJ, is looking into all that. He’s been at something for most of the year (nobody knows what). He has to answer to Mr. Whitaker now, or the permanent AG who replaces him. And why is Mr. Trump dragging his heels on nominating a permanent AG? I suppose the FISA court matter will fall to the Supreme Court, but how does that process work, and how long might it take?
The potential for a stand-off exists that will confound any effort to untangle these things, and I can see how that might lead to an extraordinary crisis in which Mr. Trump has to declare some form of emergency or perhaps martial law to clean out this suppurating abscess of illegality and sedition. That can only be the last and worst resort, but what if the US judicial system just can’t manage to clean up the mess it has made?

“Europe is still whiter than America has ever been since 1492.”
where is your references racist?
For our resident little Soviet, with zero self-respect (for good reason), merely stating facts is illegal. He is THAT ideological.
Types like him are unable to sustain High Civilization. He automatically gravitates towards the third world.

Like I said neder you are embarrassed to talk about the numbers besides the fact eurotard land does not keep good numbers like the US. One thing is certain your eurocolor is not white. It is many colors besides your Muslim itch too. The problem with you neder is where do you draw the line on racist “white”. Are slavs considered by you to be subhuman too?

nedertard, you said ((supertards)) lied about nukular weapons – it doesn’t exist. i’m a tard and a former paultard and i graduated with a bachelor of arts, majoring in physics. so you don’t have a bachelor like aswang? never had quantum physics nor performing high energy experiments?
Эй, братья, пожалуйста, ударьте антиамериканскую собаку, которую я сделал из гранитного форума on Sat, 1st Dec 2018 4:37 pm
nedertard, how come u said ((supertards)) lie about everything but when I said ((supertard)) Stanley went to the moon, you said no? this is logically inconsistent.
No comment on what I wrote recently of how supertards will go to the moon again, after Stanley and the band Ramstein?
your white supremacy idealogy is clouddy up your better thinking and the lack of a bachelor degree is not helping.

You say you go to the dentist? is that because you have false teeth? I am sure the ladies dig that..
LMFAO!
makati1 on Sat, 1st Dec 2018 8:37 pm
MOB, no, it is because I take care of my teeth so I will never need false ones.
BTW: A porcelain crown here costs $120. The one that I had replaced here, because it chipped, cost me $1,230 in the US before I moved here. And the quality of the one I got here is much better than the US one. The US one lasted about three years. This one has been in my mouth for the last 7 years with no obvious problems. Just one more plus for my living here vs the corrupt, greedy America.

Time to get extremely tough with the peddlers of this insane cult before we are threatened with “immanent extinction” ourselves.
Yes, you George S.
Multicult is the official ideology of the empire that needs to be brought down systematically, just like Soviet Bolshevism went the way of the Dodo’s.
