More On The Hillary Email Narrative

Yesterday—or was it this morning?—I took issue with the narrative propagated by the Durham Report and now fairly widespread. That narrative is that the Russia Hoax was ginned up by the Clinton Campaign—specifically by Jake Sullivan (now National Security Adviser in the Zhou regime) with helpful hints from Hillary herself—in order to deflect attention away from Hillary’s felonious emailing and her home brew server. Jonathan Turley puts it like this:

As detailed in the report, President Barack Obama and his national security team were briefed on how “a trusted foreign source” revealed “a Clinton campaign plan to vilify Trump by tying him to Vladimir Putin so as to divert attention from her own concerns relating to her use of a private email server.”

This narrative is transparent BS—if such a thing were possible—and not just because Jake Sullivan propagated it. As I have argued, the whole email problem was handled and neutralized by the DC Establishment by having a Republican FBI Director decline prosecution of Hillary—a totally irregular proceeding, but good enough for Establishment work. That effectively put the email issue to rest. Yet the Russia Hoax metastasized in the succeeding months and years. If this were all about Hillary’s emailing practices there would have been no need for the Russia Hoax to continue after Trump’s election. But instead of going away, the Russia Hoax was put on bipartisan steroids with the approval and collusion of the GOP establishment—not just Dems.

What we’re supposed to believe from this narrative is that Hillary was simply fighting fire with fire. Fearing that Trump would make an issue of her felonies—which Comey had already declared to be non-issues—Hillary decided to invent a hoax issue to fight back against Trump’s feared ‘unfair’ use of a real issue. It was grubby, but it was just politics, and politics has never been criminalized. So let it go.

If you think about that for a moment you’ll see that the narrative is fundamentally absurd. Aside from the fact that Comey had put the email issue to rest, why would everyone in DC have pitched in to advance that narrative—and even drew in the British Deep State to help out. Turley, amusingly, compares the Russia Hoax to Agatha Christie’s famous mystery, Murder on the Orient Express.

In Agatha Christie’s “Murder on the Orient Express,” detective Hercule Poirot observes, “The impossible could not have happened, therefore the impossible must be possible in spite of appearances.”

That may be the best summary of the findings of special prosecutor John Durham in his 305-page report issued yesterday.

Not only did the impossible happen, but they all did it: the Clinton campaign, the FBI, and the media.

In hindsight, it would appear impossible.

A political campaign hatches a plot to create a false claim of collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.

Making this even more implausible is that the CIA and FBI know about the plot.

As detailed in the report, President Barack Obama and his national security team were briefed on how “a trusted foreign source” revealed “a Clinton campaign plan to vilify Trump by tying him to Vladimir Putin so as to divert attention from her own concerns relating to her use of a private email server.”

It was a plot that required everyone to take a hand in derailing a duly elected president and effectively shutting down his administration for three years of investigation and prosecutions.

In this conspiracy, there were dozens of key participants in the campaign, the government, and the media. Here are a few of the characters implicated in this report.

It’s clever, but if the premise is that this wildly improbably conspiracy—which undoubtedly did take place—was predicated on the desire to give Hillary a counter issue to her own email issue, I’m not buying it. As stated above, the conspiracy went far beyond Turley’s triumvirate of “the Clinton campaign, the FBI, and the media.” Turley himself acknowledges as much—he later drags the CIA into it, then broadens it beyond “the CIA and FBI” to include the entire Obama regime national security team, and finally just says “the government”. Presumably to rope in the Department of State, Department of Justice, and others. Then, too, there were the Republicans, led by Gang of Eight members McConnell and Ryan. And, as I said, after Trump’s election the whole thing metastasized. All so Hillary would have a counter talking point in the debates? Really?

Of course not. There were reasons for this bipartisan rejection of Trump by the entire DC Establishment. The fact that the chosen vehicle for rejecting Trump was the Russia Hoax points to the true reason, the most important reason. Other of Trump’s policy ideas could readily be thwarted if he were elected, but his idea of turning Deep State policy on Russia on its head—a policy, funnily enough, with deep origins in the Clinton regime—could not so easily be thwarted, unless … Unless Trump were accused of being an agent of Putin himself. This was a preemptive strike against Trump to safeguard the consensus DC Establishment policy, as shaped by the Neocon national security apparatus. Don’t believe me? If this were not the case, why would we have the spectacle of Mitch McConnell repeatedly stating that the war on Russia is the number one priority of, well, of anyone he has influence over? Why did the FBI suppress all investigation into the Clinton Foundation—whose number one donor was Ukrainian oligarchs? Why did Ukraine play such a prominent role in the Hillary campaign? Hillary wasn’t worried about any of those facts becoming issues, because the coming war on Russia was baked into DC Establishment planning. Trump was the enemy, the one who might somehow derail the coming war.

The Russia Hoax was not about some petty business of providing counter points for use in a debate. It was a hoax that was embraced by all Washington, the entire Imperial City on the Potomac, to circle the wagons and protect the war policy.
