Our Rogue Regime

Two shocking reports were just released that should infuriate every American. Taken together, they expose the degree of politicization of key agencies and why President-elect Donald Trump cannot appoint “business as usual” nominees to lead our intelligence and security agencies.

The first report came from the bipartisan task force investigating the assassination attempts against Donald Trump. While the entire report is disturbing, two issues really stand out.

On the attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, Rep. Jason Crow, the ranking Democrat on the task force, said that even after all this time we still don’t know much about the shooter. We don’t know how he was radicalized, what his motives were, or whether he was working with anyone else.

Really? Why don’t we know?

On the second assassination attempt in September, the report states that all of the relevant federal agencies refused to cooperate with task force investigators seeking documents and information.

The congressional task force got nothing from the Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service, the FBI, and the ATF about the attempt on Trump’s life at his Palm Beach, Florida, golf course.

That is simply unacceptable! It’s no wonder that some people suspect elements of our own government were involved in the assassination attempts.

The second report takes us back to 2017 when the Deep State was trying to frame Donald Trump as a Russian agent.

Not only was the FBI spying on Trump’s campaign and working to sabotage his presidency, we now know that the FBI was also spying on two members of Congress and forty congressional staffers without court permission.

These congressmen and their aides were not threats to national security. But they were seen as threats to the FBI. Why? Because they were working to expose the Russia collusion hoax.

One of those congressional aides spied on by the FBI was Kash Patel – the man Donald Trump has nominated to clean house at the FBI.

This is more evidence that the vast intelligence powers of the government meant to protect us have been turned against us. And it’s how people lose their liberty. We judge countries all the time that use these kinds of authoritarian tactics against their own citizens.

Remember this the next time you hear a senator criticizing Trump’s nominees who intend to clean out the rot in our security and intelligence agencies.
