[Redstate] In reporting on apparent CIA involvement in spying on an American citizen, RedState’s Bonchie observed:If this were a Republican implicated, it’d be treated as the largest political scandal of the last hundred years.
And so it would. Therefore: Let’s treat it as the largest political scandal of the last hundred years.
I don’t see evidence that we need the cooperation of the blue media establishment to convince a majority of the American people that such is the case. The Other Guys like to behave as though they are the gatekeepers of public opinion. But we don’t have to accept their formulation. There’s an awful lot of empirical evidence out there that they only have 35 to 45 per cent of the voters under management. We can get to the rest, where "we" means the combined forces of the red media and the red citizenry. We do not have to sit here and grouse that "the media" won’t cover this. Sure it will. And that’s because we’re the media too.
| Not only that. Almost every major story post-9/11 was broken by the rightwing press, explored there, and only reluctantly covered by the mainstream media when they got tired of their readers demanding information to rebut the nonsense their crazy relatives were fussing about... that turned out upon examination to be true. |
Skips to BLUF:
There are a lot of these facts. It isn’t just Flynn. It isn’t just Carter Page. It isn’t just FISA. It isn’t just an FBI Director who lied under oath to the Court; or a Director of National Intelligence who lied under oath to Congress; or even a CIA Director who persuaded foreign allies to run sting operations on U.S. citizens for political purposes. It’s all of that, and a lot more. Only a tiny percentage of the public has the vaguest idea how much of it there really is. Things we know for a fact.
We need to fix that. Before November.
Some evidence exists that might indicate intelligence community people enjoy power and influence, or am I jumping to conclusions ?
