It’s interesting to me how different people hear different things in videos like this. In this video, I heard lots of assertions but not much evidentiary proof of those assertions:
1. diGenova claimed a “blazen plot†to “frame†Donald Trump by the FBI and the DOJ. Where was the “blazen†evidence of this supposed framing? I might remind diGenova that Donald Trump has been President for 14 months. He ran as the “law and order†guy. If this evidence is so crystal clear and so “blazenâ€, why haven’t we seen indictments? Oh, I know that dreaded “Deep Stateâ€.
What we really need is someone to “drain the swamp†(and “lock her up†for that matter – if this Uranium One “bribery scheme†is so clear, why hasn’t “she†been indicted?).
2. diGenova claimed Comey “blackmailed†the President. Another assertion but little evidence. It seems as though the extent of the evidence is that Comey disclosed the dossier to Trump. Yes, he did. Where is the evidence he did it to “blackmail†the President-elect?
3. diGenova stated that the spying on Trump was “ordered by†Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Susan Rice, and Ben Rhodes. Well, that’s all the usual suspects the folks the Right hate, but where is the evidence of this assertion that they all "ordered" it? How many people need to “order†such surveillance? Do we really need 5 people to order this and 4 beyond the President himself?
4. It was interesting to me that diGenova claimed that Trump moved the transition team from Trump Tower to Bedminster so Trump Tower could be “debuggedâ€. Were “bugs†found? If so, wouldn’t Trump have immediately publicized the results that bugs were found as a result of this debugging? I think so.
5. I agree with diGenova’s belief that no charges of collusion are likely.
Well, that’ll be 31 minutes of my life I’ll never get back: diGenova stuck me as having lots of conspiracies with lots of assertions but little evidence that could actually be used to indict someone. It’ll certainly be interesting to see what evidence (if any) the IG finds over any of this and what indictments are forthcoming. I'll reserve final judgement until that occurs.
