Comments on: The FBI sent a spy to talk to Papadopoulos https://thenewneo.com/2019/05/02/the-fbi-sent-a-spy-to-talk-to-papadopoulos/ A blog about political change, among other things Wed, 08 May 2019 06:09:16 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: ymarsakar https://thenewneo.com/2019/05/02/the-fbi-sent-a-spy-to-talk-to-papadopoulos/#comment-2433505 Wed, 08 May 2019 06:09:16 +0000 https://www.thenewneo.com/?p=86825#comment-2433505 If the total number of conspirators are even remotely as large as these speculative numbers, it is remarkable that there have been no major leaks.

Back when the CIA and the fake news propaganda media started calling whistleblowers and anti government groups “tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorists”, conservatives applauded that sentiment and backed it to the full tilt.

Now that the “conspiracy” is against Right wing Red interests, suddenly it is a lot easier to sympathize with conspiracies…. lol humans.

So in addition to the main, high level players, how many other people at the DOJ, FBI, NSA, State and—for all we know, at other Federal agencies—do we think were/are involved in trying to carry out this attempted coup d’etat—50, 100, 300, 500?

More factions and powers at work than you can imagine, Snow.

In the course of this story to date, how many leakers–inside the White House, in the Executive branch–have their been, how many FBI agents blabbing to reporters, and how many of those reporters were there?

Then, how many personnel from Fusion GPS and other contractors were also involved?

Add in, as well, reported foreign government actors in the UK, in Australia, and Italy.

Sum it all up, and this was an International coup effort that could possibly have involved—top to bottom—say, 700, or even 1,000 people in all.

If the total number of conspirators are even remotely as large as these speculative numbers, it is remarkable that there have been no major leaks.

Of course, there may have been attempts to leak, but I would suspect that the MSM—essential players in this conspiracy themselves—would not let them see the light of day.

George Papadopoulos…all this starting well before he worked for Trump and, in fact, in 2016 when he was working on Ben Carson’s Campaign.

That part of the timeline did not register on me.
I don’t think any of the stories I’ve read called attention to it, even if they did mention the dates of the entrapment attempts.

So, did the insurance policy extend to cover ANY Republican nominee?

Make your screen grabs while you can.

Aesop, we note (with only a brief spasm of hilarity) the new term of art “cloaked investigator”, and pass on.

I saw that. Andrew McCarthy riffed on the theme as well, in his latest post.
(are you sure you don’t mean a brief spasm of Hillary?)

The implication is, of course, that more Republicans and their campaigns than just Trump and his organization were being surveilled, and that this surveillance probably started well before the currently reported date.

They’re finally about to be investigated for real! (I hope??).

They will continue to deny.

They are guilty. Will they be indicted? That’s what American justice needs.

(Maybe Irony Man should be a new superhero?…)

A stupendous catch. At some point, the MSM is going to have to start doctoring—i.e., “cleaning up”—its archives…. (I mean, why not?)

From the Times article of a year ago:

Now that he is president, Mr. Trump’s baseless stories of secret plots by powerful interests appear to be having a distinct effect. Among critics, they have fanned fears that he is eroding public trust in institutions, undermining the idea of objective truth and sowing widespread suspicions about the government and news media that mirror his own.

(emphasis mine)

Undermining the idea of objective truth? Like the Left has been doing for the better part of a century?

I think my irony meter just exploded.
