Crime of the Century?
One more breathless stolen email disclosure from “Wicked Leaks”: Bill Clinton’s foundation got a million dollar contribution from Qatar while Hillary was Secretary of State. Of course there is no evidence that Qatar got any special treatment from the U.S. Government—Qatar is an American Ally after all. And no evidence of wasteful spending by the Clinton Foundation—in fact it has done more to alleviate misery, fight disease, and save lives than any organization in recent memory.
Meanwhile, journalists apparently haven’t been very interested in the real story of this campaign. Russia, led by a real hammer-and-sickle guy, the former head of the Communist KGB is manipulating our election in a partnership with the Republican Party (The same GOP that warned us a generation ago in those bear commercials about Communist Russia) and Wikileaks. The fourth partner is of course the FBI, overrun as it is these days by right-wing zealots. Even J. Edgar Hoover’s head would explode.
Skeptical? How about this. We know that Paul Manafort, Trump’s Campaign Manager until this summer, has worked with Putin for years to undermine the Ukrainian Government. We know that Trump has disdain for NATO, the bane of Putin’s ambition to dominate Europe. We know that Roger Stone, a close Trump confidant has close Russian ties and has communicated frequently with wikileaks founder, Julian Assange. We know that Russian hackers are responsible for all the online attacks on Democrats that have produced the stolen emails made public on nearly a daily basis by wikileaks. We know that a communication link between a Trump subsidiary and the Russian government was discovered, quickly taken off-line, and then re-established several days later. We know that Julian Assange is tired of being holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy these last four years avoiding extradition to Sweden for rape charges, or to the US for felony theft and other crimes.
Is it so hard to follow? How about this? Not exactly rocket science: Manafort and Stone arranged a deal between Putin,Trump, and Assange. Putin gets a new partner in Trump who will let him roam freely intimidating and terrorizing Europe if Trump should be elected President. Assange gets his “get-out-of-jail-free card”. Trump gets to be President of the U.S., perhaps even gets to be our fascist dictator after a while. And the FBI is there to throw shade on Hillary and go slow on investigating the Trump-Russia connection. Of course there will be enough money in all this to make all the players fabulously wealthy. There is also the possibility that Putin bugged Trump’s hotel rooms in Moscow during The Donald’s trips there and has indelicate film of Trump’s excesses and is blackmailing him.
So God Fearing Republicans, please tell us again how comfortable you are with the cozy relationship between the former head of the Communist KGB and your Presidential Candidate. And to you Evangelical Christian Republicans, is your abhorrence of abortion so great that it enables you to tolerate sexual assault and unbridled hedonism from a Con Man and his partner, a KGB Communist?
