Hillary’s ‘Sure’ Victory Explains Most Everything ‌ by Victor Davis Hanson

[Axeslinger]

What exactly were top officials in the FBI and DOJ doing during the election of 2016?

The Page-Strzok text exchanges might offer a few answers. Or, as Lisa Page warned her paramour as early as February 2016, at the beginning of the campaign and well before the respective party nominees were even selected:

One more thing: she [Hillary Clinton] might be our next president. The last thing you need us going in there loaded for bear. You think she’s going to remember or care that it was more doj than fbi?

The traditional way of looking at the developing scandals at the FBI and among holdover Obama appointees in the DOJ is that the bizarre atmospherics from candidate and President Trump have simply polarized everyone in Washington, and no one quite knows what is going on.

Another, more helpful, exegesis, however, is to understand that if we’d seen a Hillary Clinton victory in November 2016, which was supposed to be a sure thing, there would now be no scandals at all.

I wonder how many Bammy holdovers are still within the DOJ and FBI?  Certainly Rosenstein and Mueller for starters.

I know that I for one had not fully  considered what VDH is laying out here.  It all makes infinitely more sense.  Personally, I think he’s probably spot on.

Good read at the link.

Mark Levin broadcast virtually this entire story, back in March 2017; when Trump stated that he had been "wiretapped."

As Hanson states, the main players behaved in incredibly brazen manner, since they expected reward in Clinton's upcoming administration.

Reading this Hanson piece one gets the overwhelming sense that government has gotten away from us and that we, the voters, are merely pawns easily crushed in the gears of this massive bureaucratic state. We’ve become that which Reagan feared the most: a soulless police state.

^^^THIS people.

THIS.

Indeed it has. 

However Normalcy Bias prevents most from accepting the reality of where we find ourselves - because the truth is too horrifying to contemplate.

So we go back to party politics and assert the next political saviors we choose will save us and turn this all around.
