It appears that the investigation will be limited to
counterintelligence concerns related to Russia and the 2016 U.S.
election, which lets the Democrats off the hook for what they did to
assist the Soviets/Russians in their campaign against Republican
President Reagan.
Any objective inquiry should also look at how Angela Davis, a
longtime pro-Russian communist, became a leading opponent of President
Trump and co-chair of the Women’s March on Washington, an event that
featured several Democratic Party politicians in addition to vulgar
Hollywood celebrities.
"If you’re going to protest a new president famously accused of being
a tool of Russian strongman Vladimir Putin, common sense would suggest
avoiding high-profile speakers who were proud tools of Putin’s former
employer, the Soviet Union,â€
comments libertarian conservative writer Cathy Young, referring to Davis. She
added that "…the rhetoric of the anti-Trump ‘resistance’ often portrays
him [Trump] as being in cahoots with Vladimir Putin, or even as a
Kremlin puppet. Yet the same resistance is honoring a woman who ran for
political office in the United States on the ticket of a party that was
quite literally a wholly owned subsidiary of the Kremlin.â€
The Senate Subcommittee on Internal Security (now defunct) report,
"Communist Party, USA—Soviet Pawn,†is a good source of information on
how the CPUSA served as nothing more than a branch of the Russian
Communist Party and was funded and sponsored by Moscow.
The bizarre spectacle of Angela Davis now surfacing as a leader of
the anti-Trump resistance, dedicated to exposing Trump’s relationship
with Moscow, is an indication that the Russian angle, regarding the
current administration, is fraudulent. But with Republicans like Senator
Burr going along with the call for hearings, the Democrats and the
media can count on getting more mileage out of a controversy that was
manufactured in part by President Obama’s CIA.
In a bizarre twist, it turns out that Obama’s CIA director, John Brennan, admitted voting for Gus Hall in 1976 when Hall was the CPUSA presidential candidate in that election year as well. [Emphasis mine.]
Since 1984, when the party fielded the Hall/Davis ticket but backed
the Democrats, the CPUSA has not offered candidates for president and
vice president. Instead, the party of "Red Russia†and a "Soviet
America†openly backed Obama in 2008 and 2012, and Hillary in 2016.
