Establishment Electoral Strategy At Grand Jury Level
Don Surber has a new post out that makes a variety of shrewd observations:
Most of his observations are directed, as the title suggests, at the Dem strategy, which centers on demonizing Trump and his supporters:
The Democrats are unfolding their plan for November's midterm election. Some of it is obvious, some of it is old, and some of it is new.
The pollsters are softening the field by releasing polls that show a sudden rise in Biden's popularity, even as Democrat candidates continue to shun him on the campaign trail.
The Raid on Mar-a-Lago and Biden's Nazi-inspired anti-Republican speech are the linchpin to Democrat plans. Democrats want to isolate and demonize Trump supporters.
As in 2018 with the Mueller witch hunt, Democrats do not need to charge Trump with anything to cast him as a criminal and win the midterm.
Ballot harvesting is also going to be a factor.
But then at the end Surber gives the game away—this is an all out Stop Trump effort that enjoys bipartisan support. And it’s not just Bluto Barr’s non-stop media presence. Mitch McConnell is key to the effort:
The Republican Party is helping. It raised a record amount of money from Trump supporters only to squander it away. DC insiders are speaking doom.
I am not saying the game is rigged.
I am saying I could see where people can come to that conclusion.
But it goes beyond that. We’re used by now to these media narratives claiming that doubts about the integrity of the 2020 election are simply “false”:
But, not content with media narratives and not content with McConnell’s dubplicity in undermining funding for GOP candidates, we now learn that the Zhou regime’s legal arm is attempting to criminalize politics and political speech—and to cut off another source of GOP funding. As I read this, the claim will be that Trump is committing wire/mail fraud in his fundraising because his political claims are “false”. Don’t hold your breath for the GOP to engage in the same tactics if they gain control. And don’t hold your breath waiting for Bluto Barr to condemn this:
Federal grand jury probing Trump PAC's formation, fundraising efforts: Sources
Politicized Grand Jury leaks? Imagine that!
But notice how the case tracks the media narrative—it’s almost like coordination:
A federal grand jury investigating the activities leading up the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and the push by former President Donald Trump and his allies to overturn the result of the 2020 election has expanded its probe to include seeking information about Trump's leadership PAC, Save America, sources with direct knowledge tell ABC News.
The interest in the fundraising arm came to light as part of grand jury subpoenas seeking documents, records and testimony from potential witnesses, the sources said.
The subpoenas, sent to several individuals in recent weeks, are specifically seeking to understand the timeline of Save America's formation, the organization's fundraising activities, and how money is both received and spent by the Trump-aligned PAC.
…
Trump and his allies have consistently pushed supporters to donate to the PAC, often using false claims about the 2020 election and soliciting donations to rebuke the multiple investigations into the former president, his business dealings, and his actions on Jan. 6.
After the FBI raided Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate last month, Save America PAC sent out a fundraising email in which Trump urged supporters to "rush in a donation IMMEDIATELY to publicly stand with me against this NEVERENDING WITCH HUNT."
…
This is obviously an effort to cut off Trump’s fundraising by threatening him with indictment. Soliciting money by wire (email) under false pretenses (“false claims about the 2020 election”) is wire fraud.
How serious is this threat? Well, getting an indictment against Trump in DC probably would not be hard. Proving the case would be a different matter, since the government would need to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Trump’s claims about the 2020 election are actually false. On the other hand, the harassment value of such a criminal case and its political impact should not be underestimated. If the primary goal is to cut off Trump’s fund raising, I’m not sure how that would play out. The effort in that regard would have to go through the courts and would IMO face a stiff challenge.
Bottom line, the Uniparty is pulling out all the stops.
I have to say, this is the scariest thing I’ve read lately. So diabolical to indict for wire/mail fraud!
1. Steal election
2. Demonize and set up and imprison those who fight their election being stolen. Make it so none of these victims have representation in government. Disenfranchise them.
3. Steal all elections going forward
4. No one left to complain.
There has to be a way to stop this.
The Uni-Party lives in fear of Trump and what he represents. As it continues to pull out all the stops to take down Trump, it further reveals itself as a monstrous threat to the American people, the American way of life, and the republic. Donald Trump is our imperfect hero while Dark Brandon is a meat puppet controlled by those who would remake this nation into a socialist hell hole run by the administrative state.
I'm not sure McCarthy is capable of the leadership required as Speaker of the House should the GOP win it back. His lackluster low energy prebuttal to Brandon's Nazification of America speech is just another indicator of his Uni-Party foot dragging, similar to when he initially defended Liz Cheney when she went off the reservation. He is not the man of the hour we need. The GOP needs to dump McConnell and McCarthy if it wants to stay in power after 2022. These two are for the status quo - not the conservatives who are tired of the BS and want results.
