Deep State "Shenanigans"?

Timothy Birdnow

Seth Tillman, writing at the New Reform Club, dissects an interview with Professor Jack Goldsmith by the everlasting neocon Bill Kristol.

In this interview Goldsmith states:

"Shenanigans"?  Well shucks; let's go find Alfalfa and Buckwheat and Spanky and the gang!

Among other things the Cambridge dictionary says shenanigans are "silly behavior that is usually not very serious or harmful". Yet Trump was openly accused of being a "Russian asset, meaning he was a traitor and spy. He was accused of colluding with a foreign power. He was accused of abusing his office by asking the Ukrainian president to reopen a corruption investigation against Joe Biden's son. He was accused of multiple crimes (over 88 crimes and faced over 900 years in prison). He was sued in civil court purely for political reasons and wound up with almost a half a BILLION dollars in a civil judgment. He has had multiple investigations of himself, of his companies, of his family. And he has faced two assassination attempts, attempts that showed a level of incompetence with the Secret Service that cannot be explained away, making one suspect it was intentional. The CIA used such tactics overseas, and fomented the different color revolutions, particularly the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, using these same tactics.

In a moment of candor Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer warned Donald Trump " "You take on the intelligence community? They have six ways from Sunday of getting back at you". And they certainly tried their best. Remember all those intelligence agency heads who signed the letter claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation" after they had it for months? Or do you remember former FBI Director Andrew McCabe calling Trump a Russian asset"?

I would call all of this a bit more than "shenanigans". More like Treason and revolution.

And don't forget the way they meddled with the electtions in 2020. And how they went after everyone who was present at the J6 affair? You needn't have actually done anything wrong to get arrested and charged and get draconian sentences.

And remember the armed raid on Trump's home at Mar-a-Largo with orders to "shoot to kill" if anyone resisted. Then they went through Melania Trump's underwear drawer, sniffing her panties and the like.

Remember trump's arrest and mug shot. Remember how Alvin Bragg, doing the bidding of his boss who campaigned on "getting Trump", twisted the law into a pretzel to create a whole new class of crime and the corrupt judge letting him get away with that and other abuses of power. Remember Fani Willis coordinating with Jack Smith (who himself was appointed illegally) to throw Trump in prison.

What about the TWO impeachments of Trump and the J6 committee in which we now know people lied and there was collusion between "witnesses" and the members of the committee (like Liz Cheney)?

What about the censorship online pushed by the Biden Administration? They found a loophole in the First Amendment and rammed a whole parade through it. They suppressed information that would lead people to support Trump.

Shenanigans? I think not.

I seem to remember another President faced not just impeachment but removal from office over "shenanigans" involving a third rate burglary at a hotel in Washington. At the time these same clowns took that very, very seriously then.

How was Trump supposed to react to this? Laugh it off? They wanted to send him to prison for nine hundred years, and then they tried to kill him twice. I'm sorry but nobody would be chuckling at that.

See, this wasn't even just an attack on Donald Trump but rather was an attack on everyone who supported Trump, who voted for him. It was an attack on the very soul of our Constitution and republic. If Trump were NOT to take this very seriously he would be derelict in his duty as the prime law enforcement officer in the country. He HAS to go after these people at this point. It would be a travesty of justice if he were to just dismiss this.

So don't tell me Trump is overreacting; if anything he's under-reacting. Our Constitution, our rights as free citizens, our way of life was under attack by the Deep State. We had all sorts of laws rammed down our throats, not by our elected representatives but by unelected bureaucrats and national security goons and it was enforced with raw power - arrest and imprisonment and death if you dare resist. Joe Stalin was looking on proudly at this.

I'd like to ask Goldsmith what HE would do if he were falsely accused of multiple crimes, framed, set up, had half a billion dollars stolen from him, threatened with prison for centuries, had his name tarnished, his family harassed, and had people trying to kill him? I suspect the good professor would not be quite so forgiving as he is now.

Naturally Kristol didn't bother to correct this man,but then Kristol is a neocon and wants endless war and hates a guy like Trump who wants to restore old virtues (like Washington's admonition to avoid entanglement with foreign powers or the horrible idea that America should actually be great and not just a cog in a new world order that benefits others at our expense).

Yes, America's institutions are hollowed out and full of termites who are eating out our nation from within. Middle America has shown they see it and voted for the one man offering a way out. Nobody else dared try it.

But if America is to survive it must restore the basics that made her great in the first place. Fail to do that and we join the other nations in the ashbin of history who went down this same path - Rome, the Holy Roman Empire, Carthage, Egypt, Spain and Portugal come to mind.

Trump gives us some breathing room. Now we have to make this revolution permanent by electing like-minded people to Congress and our next President needs to be MAGA. Either this nutty professor doesn't understand that or wants America to fall. I suspect deep down it's the latter.
