"Show me the man and I'll show
you the crime." In recent years, many of us have become extremely, even
overly, familiar with this famous quote from Lavrentiy Pavlovich Beria,
Stalin's chief of secret police, the NKVD.
This
repetition occurred because the man whose crime his political opponents
and their myriad allies inside the media, intelligence agencies, and
FBI have been trying to show, again and again and yet again, is none
other Donald J. Trump, president of the United States. (Hell hath no
fury like a bureaucrat scorned.)
And what is the actual crime they are trying to show? If you channeled Hitchcock and called it "The Man Who Tweets Too Much," you might have an argument, although a somewhat frivolous one.
The
crime they are trying to show is, well... nothing that is real. As in
Stalin's time, what is about to go public Wednesday for everybody to
watch is naught but a "show trial," much like the trial of the British
engineers and the yet more ominous Great Purge. Only it is an opéra bouffe version led by Adam Schiff, a failed screenwriter with a proven inability to distinguish fact from fiction. Thank God there's no Gulag where he can send people.
But
let's give a look at what he and his cronies claim they are trying to
show—some kind of presidential corruption regarding Ukraine. Some
so-called whistleblower with a name no one's supposed to know but
everybody does (Ciaramella) accused Trump of threatening Ukrainian
President Zelensky umpteen times with withholding U.S. aid if Zelensky
did not investigate the activities of his political opponent and the
opponent's son.
As it turned
out, when the transcript of the actual phone call was produced, it was a
good deal less than that. It's likely the hyperpartisan whistleblower,
who never heard the call in the first place, lied through his teeth for
political reasons he thinks—in all his virtue-signaling narcissism—are
justified. We may never know because he won't be allowed to testify.
You'll have to wait for his book in which he no doubt will lie again.
Also not allowed is any word on the father-son corruption (Biden und Sohn)
which is clearly monstrous, worth millions, even billions, and has a
direct effect on our relationship with China (which old Joe, the law
school plagiarist, assured us was fine and not to be concerned about).
We're supposed to ignore that, so we will. For now.
But
the actual "favor" (that was the word used) being asked for on the
phone by Trump to Zelensky was about CrowdStrike, not about the Bidens,
who were an afterthought. You may have heard of CS by now. It's the
digital firm with roots in California and Ukraine that was hired by the
Clinton-associated law firm Perkins Coie to investigate the break-in of
the DNC server during election 2016. When CS reported it was the
Russians, that was accepted at face value by the FBI. Why the FBI, with
all their vaunted cyber facilities, did not do this themselves is open
to question—and everybody in the Beltway cesspool knows it, all the
despicable creeps wringing their hands over Trump. Omertà rules in
Washington, especially among the Democrats and the media (of all
places).
They all know that
the real investigation is in progress—what happened early in 2016 and
thereafter that instigated the two-plus years of phony national hysteria
known as the Russia probe, the probe that did everything it could, but
thankfully failed, to upend the Trump administration. The characters who
engineered this shouldn't just be impeached—some have already lost
their jobs—they should be sent to stir. We shall see how this plays out,
hopefully soon.
Meanwhile,
if you were Donald Trump, wouldn't you ask a favor of a foreign leader
if you thought he might have access to information solving that endless,
vicious case against him that looks as if it was a set-up? Do bears
you-know-what in the woods? You can bet Pelosi, Schiff, and even Rachel
Maddow would do the same thing if they were subject to the same
wretched, immoral, disgusting and unpatriotic treatment for three years
and counting.
This whole
show trial would just be an amusing farce in the farcical land of D.C.
politics were it not for one thing—it just could (not likely, but could)
be successful. And if it is, that's the end of our country as we know
it. Half of our citizens will feel completely disenfranchised. Where it
will go from there is anybody's guess.
What
will be interesting in the coming days is who Torquemada Jr. (aka
Schiff) will allow to testify. It's obviously ix-nay on the
whistleblower-way, but watch the results for Nellie Ohr and Alexandra Chalupa.
If they don't let them testify, that means they're terrified. And they
should be. What a country we live in. Comrade Beria is smiling.
