Donald Trump took to Twitter Saturday to call out his favorite MSM whipping boy for dispensing more “fake news.” Trump tweeted, “Fake News CNN made a vicious and purposeful mistake yesterday. They were caught red handed, just like lonely Brian Ross at ABC News (who should be immediately fired for his ‘mistake’). Watch to see if @CNN fires those responsible, or was it just gross incompetence?” (Recall that ABC’s Ross likewise made a serious chronology error in his zeal to nail the president.) Trump continued, “CNN’s slogan is CNN, THE MOST TRUSTED NAME IN NEWS. Everyone knows this is not true, that this could, in fact, be a fraud on the American Public. There are many outlets that are far more trusted than Fake News CNN. Their slogan should be CNN, THE LEAST TRUSTED NAME IN NEWS!”
The truth is that CNN stepped right into this mess. Its Trump Derangement Syndrome has so affected the news agency that it has become blinded to its own bias. The subjective and absolutely unsubstantiated belief that Trump must have cheated to win the election hampers much of the MSM’s ability to objectively and faithful report the news. Until journalists understand that their job is not to form public opinion but merely to report events, the problem of bias and blinders will continue.

As I pointed out many times in this space during the presidency of Barack liar-nObama, the president, liar-Clinton and other Cabinet members committed a plethora of high crimes and misdemeanors from 2009 to 2016, and I believe that any truly objective special counsel could have had the lot of them in orange jumpsuits by lunchtime. It should also be noted that Flynn’s offense constituted a process crime, one that is committed during the course of an investigation into another alleged crime. Neither his actions nor his plea revealed any criminality on the part of the Trump 2016 campaign.
In considering all this, one needs to ask oneself how honestly they might respond to an FBI interrogation if they knew that those conducting same were acting unlawfully.
Last week, I cited the downside of prosecutorial discretion in that this can be used unethically, or to advance a political agenda. Capitol Hill lawmakers and the establishment press chose to conspicuously ignore each and every instance of misfeasance and criminality on the part of the previous administration, yet they appear to be wholly dedicated to toppling Trump. Thus, it is not surprising that the frenzy of legal activity attendant to the Russia probe is yielding only paltry results, despite leftists at large approaching a state similar to sexual arousal upon receiving news such as that of Flynn’s plea.
It is now apparent that appointing former FBI Director Robert Mueller to pursue the “Russian collusion” issue was the political equivalent of hiring Daffy Duck to do one’s taxes; the cartoon waterfowl was notoriously avaricious and probably clinically insane and could almost certainly be counted on to cheat.
One of the big stories this week was, of course, the dismissal of FBI investigator Peter Strzok from the Russia investigation by Mueller after it was revealed that Strzok exchanged text messages mocking President Trump and engaged in manifestly unethical practices during the investigation – texts that evidenced strong pro-liar-Clinton and anti-Trump biases. Mueller’s action was accurately called a “Deep State Pawn Sacrifice” by Breitbart News, sort of like when President liar-nObama fired his Green Jobs Czar Van Jones in 2010 for being a little too forthcoming in public with the liar-nObama administration’s communistic agenda – and for calling Republicans “a–holes” on camera. Strzok’s “sacrifice” was merely a public relations face-saving ploy, an effort to salvage the legitimacy of the investigation and the public perception of objectivity therein.
The sad fact is that we can no longer trust those in the FBI and other federal agencies to take an apolitical stance in the execution of their duties. Men and women working in the “alphabet agencies” and other federal bureaus who once regarded their political anonymity on the job as a badge of honor have become de facto political operatives dedicated to the post-constitutional, progressive agenda.
Although suggesting a good old-fashioned political purge firing squads, bonfires, etc. wouldn’t get past my editor, Trump’s firing of hundreds of questionable agency hires and appointees en masse would not only eliminate an element of the Deep State threat on a practical level, but it would enlighten those not yet sufficiently apprised of the Deep State menace. Such action would certainly give rise to cries of tyranny on the left, but it would be an effective “in kind” defensive measure in response to the subterfuge of entrenched ideologues in the federal government.
Across the board, progressives have abandoned any sense of ethics or morality for an “ends justify the means” ethos, and the Mueller investigation is about nullifying Trump’s election, nothing more. Those within the Deep State, terrified and rightly perceiving themselves threatened, simply do not care if they find themselves at odds with the electorate.
Donald Trump’s election did not represent America’s ongoing love affair with a flamboyant real estate developer and TV star from New York. It represented the disgust of the American people with the increasing lawlessness of those in government. Mueller’s spaghetti-against-the-wall methodology as regards the Russia investigation reveals the former FBI director as a Deep State apparatchik, a soldier committed to cementing the power of the ascendant socialist oligarchy. This being the case, I seriously doubt that there are many actions Trump could take in response to the antics of the Deep State cabal that would diminish the commitment and enthusiasm of his supporters.
