Over the last couple of days I’ve maintained that the only logical reason why Hillary—via Joffe and his tech guys and Sussmann fronting for the op to the CIA—was spying on an actual President of the United States was to drive President Donald J. Trump from office. The goal of the op was to create a constitutional crisis that called into question the validity of Election 2016. That’s why Sussmann was trying to convince the CIA that Trump was somehow communicating with Russians—the Russian angle, implying espionage against the US by a POTUS, was key to ginning the crisis up to the necessary degree of hysteria. Durham specifically notes in his latest filing that, in effect, it was all BS. He says that in legal speak.
I know this will look like I’m patting myself on the back for getting out in front with that scenario and—guess what?—yes, I am doing that. However, Bonchie at Red State says pretty much the same thing today, but in longer form. I’m going to quote him to drive home this point, because the main point here is very important: Durham ain’t covering up jack sh*t. Within the limits of what a careful and methodical prosecutor can do—while still preparing the mother of all conspiracy cases—he’s letting an awful lot just hang out there. And, yes, I think Maria B. and I were right yesterday in suggesting that the Ukraine crisis may have a lot to do with the Zhou regime knowing that Durham is on their trail—anyone who doesn’t seriously consider that possibility is a fool, so if I’m wrong on that score I will not feel in the least embarrassed. Just remember—Jake Sullivan, reputed to be Hillary’s mastermind of the Russia Hoax, is currently Zhou’s National Security Adviser. Do you really believe in coincidences? At this level of shenanigans, I want proof of coincidence.
So, Bonchie:
Hillary Clinton Spied on Trump Even After the Election -- and I Think I Know Why
…
She was trying to overturn the election.
Ask yourself why she’d even bother to keep looking into Trump if the goal wasn’t to prove he was an illegitimate president? And if that happened in say, February of 2017, she had every reason to believe the country would be plunged into a constitutional crisis that would favor her.
After all, if she was the rightful president, why wouldn’t Congress go to great lengths to change the outcome? At the very least, Trump and Pence would have been impeached, likely garnering enough Republican votes to make the gambit successful. At that point, would further steps have been taken to install Clinton as president?
Given the setup of the Constitution, that would have been difficult to accomplish, but just because something is improbable doesn’t mean it wasn’t intended. After all, we are constantly told that Trump tried to “overturn” the 2020 election despite there never being any probable path to that happening. In this case, Clinton’s desperation is not a defense of her behavior. It just shows how far she was willing to go. That she’s not being accused of attempting to “destroy our democracy” is simply a matter of the mainstream media being incredibly biased.
Regardless, even if such a maneuver by Clinton was doomed to fail after the 2016 election, does anyone doubt that she was going to use any information she found to set herself up as the rightful president in the 2020 race? There are already rumblings of her running in 2024. Clinton absolutely would have been game in the last election if she felt she had proof that Trump was a Russian stooge. That she didn’t run is yet more evidence that everything from the Mueller investigation to Crossfire Hurricane, to Clinton’s snooping, came up completely empty.
Nothing is a coincidence with the Clintons. To believe otherwise would be foolish. The continued spying after Trump became president was intentional and meant to dredge up more dirt, and that dirt wasn’t just so Hillary Clinton could say “I told you so” from the sidelines. The push to overturn the election would have been fast and furious. Hopefully, Durham recognizes the gravity of the situation and doesn’t let anyone involved in this scam off the hook. That includes Clinton herself.
What’s interesting is that the CIA apparently told Sussmann to take a hike. If they had agreed to, say, leak this smear, who doubts that many GOP senators would have jumped on board that train?
I am so thankful that people like you, Andrea, Dr SWC, Boncie, Sundance, Perry, Kash, and all the others that are following along on all of this, and applying their various skills and experiences to make it clear to us. Can you imagine if we had to rely on the Leftist media for our information? I can, and, frankly, it scares the hell out of me.
The GOPe would have thanked their lucky stars for a pretext to remove Trump; they would have bent over backwards to find an accommodation for Hillary.
It wouldn't need to be constitutional. As you say: fast and furious. There were enough of us worried about the Russia rumors to think an investigation would suss it out. Remember: the current mainstream conservative distrust of the government was birthed through the Russia hoax. If they had gotten Trump out, none of that would have taken hold and we'd still be happy as frogs in a kettle.
