soomaThe Trump Presidency : Year V
How about patience and a thank you for everything Trump and his administration has done in less than 7 months.
He has earned our trust and confidence.

What he has accomplished so far in his 2nd term would make other administrations pale in comparison.

but I'm skeptical.
I’m pretty sure that the fantasy of that crew of misfits being tried, convicted, and promptly executed is not going to happen, but even having them investigated and stressed a bit is a whole lot better than anything that would have happened with Kackles in the White House. When one considers all the other winning going on, this is small beer anyway. Fret over this piffle if you like, but I am too busy enjoying the winning to waste a moment worrying about this.

I agree. Executed, no. Orange suits, I wish.
It's just a tiny pebble of a speed bump on one of Trumps victory laps!

“Treasonous Conspiracy” – Tulsi Gabbard Calls for Prosecutions, Sends Newly Declassified Trump-Russia Hoax Docs to Justice Department
ODNI Tulsi Gabbard released newly declassified presidential briefing revealing Barack Obama knew the Trump-Russia collusion narrative was a hoax.
It was recently reported that former FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and DNI James Clapper worked together to purposely corrupt the Trump-Russia investigation in 2016 before Trump entered office.
This is a bigger deal than most people realize...
Tulsi Gabbard Expands Power of DNI Office – Now Comes the Counter Attack, Likely from Senator Tom Cotton
Many people are questioning why Tulsi Gabbard is able to discover and expose activity by the Obama administration and the Intelligence Community, yet prior office holders did not.
Last year, when asked for approaches that could assist a Trump Term-2, I outlined the possibilities for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). What we are seeing today is running in direct parallel to that original outline.
Keep watching, and be very cautious of Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Tom Cotton.
It’s going to be Tulsi Gabbard vs Tom Cotton! [Patriots vs Sea Island] Remember this as we go forward. SSCI Chairman Cotton is assembling his weapons right now; he has no choice – Cotton accepted the role. Tom Cotton is now the “hand” of the Intelligence Community.
You have to understand how the DC system operates in collaboration with the Intelligence Community apparatus. Almost no one does. The IC (domestic and foreign) cannot allow DNI Gabbard to follow a non traditional format. The SSCI is their weapon, the tool they use to retain all activity within guardrails they IC have constructed.

My thoughts exactly. TCTH has often been very good, but not infallible.
Remember Ratcliffe is now head of CIA, his office produced the report about improper use of the CIA in the Russia hoax.

Why didn’t John Ratcliffe discover this information when he was DNI?
The occam’s razor answer is, he wasn’t looking.
Ratcliffe is part of the IC apparatus that structurally retains the guardrails allowing the IC to exist as the strongest, non statutory, part of our government. Ratcliffe, like Devin Nunes, believes in the system. They see the world threat through the prism of the IC system that tells them where, when and why to be fearful.
John Ratcliffe also worked for John Ashcroft, the main author of the Patriot Act.
They are not bad men, they just believe the worldview presented, because it has always been thus.
But now is not then. Our ‘this’ is no longer ‘thus’. Now we have President Trump, the embodiment of kryptonite to the superstate.
Now we enter the era when great boldness is needed. Brutal honesty is required. A combination of humility and arrogance is needed. Totally different skillsets.
Ratcliffe believes in the system, but he is simultaneously open to allowing Tulsi to do her thing and show him the dangers he doesn’t see.
EXAMPLE: Tulsi took the National Intelligence Council (NIC) out of the CIA. Tulsi could not do that without Ratcliffe’s agreement.
Now, Ratcliffe is watching Gabbard work, seeing what it brings to the surface, seeing a DNI -funnily an office he held- through an entirely new prism. Ratcliffe operated the DNI in the same way that all prior DNI’s operated it. Tulsi is operating the DNI in a completely different way.

If you don’t look, you cannot find.
It is the difference between these statements:
1. We found no evidence of collusion.
2. We found evidence there was no collusion.
You can achieve the first by never looking.
The second, you can achieve only by reporting on what you actually found.

Maybe Ratcliffe needs to go. And maybe revisit the Patriot act.
