Losing his political virginity to the deep state, former President Donald Trump has learned some harsh lessons about political wisdom. The world of politics, he has learned, is different from the world of business. Hiring FBI director Christopher Wray turned out to be disastrous for the administration, and the sordid messiah of the deep state was only too happy to weaponise the Clinton-led conspiracy to bring down Donald Trump.
When your enemies see vulnerability, they strike
On May 25, 1961, JFK, the first U.S. president to openly challenge the CIA, delivered a speech, lambasting the ‘secret oaths, secret societies, and secret proceedings’ Months later, he was assassinated by a ‘lone gunman’ in 1962. Trump was the second U.S. president ever to dare challenge the intelligence apparatus and he is still on the verge of suffering a political assassination.
Kennedy was murdered, and Trump was accused of the worst accusation imaginable: Treason
The ‘deep state’ rewrote the playbook when it came to Trump. Even before he became president in 2016, the swamp was bubbling away. In a 2016 DNC speech, ex-CIA chief Leon Panetta, a figure who should have stayed politically neutral, gave a speech stating, “Trump asked the Russians to interfere in American politics.” Whether Panetta was privy to Clinton’s orchestrated conspiracy, we don’t know, but an ex-CIA director speaking in a partisan manner should have raised alarm bells for Trump. Why would an ex-CIA chief appear at the DNC in the first place? While Panetta was kowtowing to the DNC, behind the scenes:
A wide-reaching conspiracy organised by Hillary Clinton, the Obama administration, the CIA and FBI was already underway
An ageing, embittered, corrupt Hillary felt that she was owed the presidency, and she was desperate to deflect attention away from herself after the Benghazi scandal.
How do we know this? Well, in 2020, the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliff, released a previously classified CIA memo to James Comey from 2016. The Memo reveals the well-coordinated birth of Operation ‘Crossfire Hurricane.’ An FBI investigation examined members of the Trump campaign and their alleged ‘Russian collusion’.
But that’s not all the document reveals. We also know that after meeting with the Obama administration, the intelligence agencies unscrupulously proceeded to commence an investigation against then-candidate Trump.
On July 28, 2016, then CIA Director John Brennan briefed President Obama on the ‘Clinton Plot’
The plot emerged from a Clinton campaign advisor “to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security service.”
Hillary paid for the composition of the Steele Dossier through the private investigative firm Fusion GPS and the Democratic National Convention (DNC). At the same time, the CIA and FBI were playing their part too. Based on the recently revealed testimony of a senior FBI analyst, we know that in October of 2016, the FBI attempted to outsource its bout of ‘Trump derangement syndrome’ by offering Steele $1,000,000 to corroborate the allegation of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign.
The Durham report had this to say about the collusion:
“What occurred after this meeting reveals an alarming degree of collusion between the Obama administration and the intelligence agencies to force attention from Clinton onto Trump. The CIA then forwarded a memo to the FBI stating, “An exchange. (redacted) discussing US presidential candidate Hilary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning US presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”
While Clinton and the intelligence agencies were already conspiring against Trump publicly, the president’s rhetoric was rightly unapologetic, raw, transfixing, and unabashed. After publicly lambasting the CIA, Trump announced, “I’m going to drain the swamp.”
Doing this awakened the beast from within the deep swamp of Washington
Trump unleashed a series of verbal assaults on the political establishment before his formal inauguration in 2016. He pointed out the FBI’s biased handling of Hilary Clinton’s personal email server in the Benghazi scandal and the intelligence agencies handling of the DNC’s email hacking scandal. Things heated up when the newly inaugurated president announced that he wouldn’t require the CIA’s daily presidential briefing in office. Then, in 2018, over Twitter, he criticized the NSA, claiming that they deleted 685 million text messages and phone calls.
“He who seeks to deceive will always find someone who will allow himself to be deceived”
While the tirade on the intelligence apparatus was necessary, Trump was blind to the fact that the swamp was planning to drown him. If he didn’t believe in conspiracies, he will now. At its core, the deep state, Clinton, and the intelligence agencies are Machiavellian, and Trump fell into his first major trap, hiring the swamp creatures of the deep state.
Trump was doing well until he decided to hire the wolf in sheep’s clothing, Christopher Wray. As Machiavelli once said, “One can assess a prince’s intelligence by looking at the men whom he surrounds himself with.”
In his efforts to please both Republicans and Democrats, Trump hired FBI director Chris Wray on the advice of Chris Christie, a mistake he continues to pay dearly for. He touted Wray as “an impeccably qualified individual.” Speaking on the appointment In a Fox News interview, ‘Are you happy with Chris Wray? after newly appointing him “I put Chris Wray in because I wanted to have somebody that everybody, including the other side, really wanted. It may not have been the right move, time will tell, but because I’m an honourable guy, I’m an honest guy, I may have made a mistake.”
In hindsight, he should never have made any appointment based on pleasing anyone; he should have based it on who he felt was the best candidate. Indeed, the way he made the appointment—selecting one who satisfied both sides—was always going to be someone who was embedded in the deep state, and Wray was that individual in abundance.
And, as Brutus was to Caesar and Judas was to Christ, Wray was to Trump—and so the great betrayal was underway
Using insufficient and unsubstantiated ‘evidence’ In 2018. Wray announced that he would be supporting the FBI’s investigation into Trump. In an interview with ABC, Wray argued, “The Inspector General did not find political bias or improper motivations impacting the opening of the investigation [into the Trump campaign] or the decision to use certain investigative tools during the investigation.”
“Men ought either to be well treated or crushed, because they can avenge themselves of lighter injuries or more serious ones they cannot; therefore, the injury that is to be done to a man ought to be of such a kind that one does not stand in fear of revenge.”
Accusations of treason, betrayal, and collusion with foreign foes were the perfect game plan from the Clinton camp. Landing exactly where his enemies wanted him, the politically inexperienced Trump was a sitting duck. Wray turned out to be Trump’s worst nightmare.
Trump’s susceptibility to flattery and his inability to recognise the chameleons in Washington only hurt him
When Wray announced that he supported the investigation into the Russia-Trump campaign collusion allegation, Trump was enraged, and he must have felt betrayed. In panic mode, Trump was attempting to oust Wray. While he was right to do so, it only created further problems. His attorney General William Barr threatened to resign as it would have been perceived as an impartial firing.
The Durham report stated:“Whether or not the Clinton plan intelligence was based on reliable or unreliable information, or was ultimately true or false, it should have prompted FBI personnel to immediately undertake an analysis of the information and to act with far greater care and caution when receiving, analysing, and relying upon materials of partisan origins, such as the Steele Reports and the Alfa Bank allegations.”
“It failed to act on what should have been, when combined with other incontrovertible facts, a clear warning sign that the FBI might then be the target of an effort to manipulate or influence the law enforcement process for political purposes during the 2016 presidential election.”
If the English language was difficult to comprehend, this would be a mystery, but it’s not. Clearly, the Clinton plan was a fabricated distraction,.
The FBI’s willingness to launch operation “Crossfire Hurricane” only reveals the corruption of the deep state in its efforts to undermine Trump
The plan was brilliant and Machiavellian. Treason is the most damaging of the accusations that could be levelled at any world leader and it was the perfect game plan.
In his defence, Trump could not have known what was going on in the DNC behind the scenes, nor could he have known how deep the Washington swamp was, but he could have been more careful about who he surrounded himself with. Decentralised power structures only work if the central authority has placed trust in the right people.
Trump was a political virgin and he lacked wisdom of Washington machinery in abundance. Trusting Chris Christie’s Wray recommendation turned out the be the one of his biggest regrets.
Trump was dangerously naive about the snakes of Washington
While the allegations were false, they were highly effective and damaging to his administration. Across the mainstream media, Trump was branded a traitor, treasonous, and a Russian puppet, and it proved to be a profound and unavoidable distraction for the Trump administration. And even though the Muller report concluded there was insufficient evidence of any collusion, Trump was hung-drawn and quartered as a traitor.
Trump took the diplomatic approach to his appointments and found that pre-meditated ideologues canvassed Washington
Naivety kills. Trump risked turning himself into the archetypical embodiment of Shakespeare’s King Duncan. Before he was infamously assassinated by the power-hungry General Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, he remarked, “He was a man on whom I place absolute trust.” But he should not have trusted anyone that drinks from the chalice of establishment mindset. While King Duncan was murdered in cold blood, not least because of his naivety, there are signs of a Trumpian political redemption on the horizon. As Donald Trump’s woes continue in his fight to run for the 2024 campaign, more and more, the situation is looking like the Shakespearean drama , but the ending is unwritten.
But there appears to be a slither of hope; Trump seems wiser
While the efforts to politically assassinate the ex-president aren’t over, he’s battling in the Supreme Court to be eligible to run again in 2024. But there’s something different about Trump this time.
He has stated recently that he intends to, “root out… the radical-left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.” In another interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, Hannity asked, “Do you, in any way, have any plans whatsoever, if re-elected, to abuse power, to break the law, to use the government to go after people?” With sharp wit, Trump responded, “You mean like what they’re doing now?
Finally, Trump has wised up to the powers that be
Festering inside the crevasses of American democracy, lies the deep state and Trump knows it this time. The deep states downfall of Trump that should have been may soon morph into the political resurrection never imagined and the ex-president knows his enemies are close by.
