is He Waiting For?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>There are articles in both the MSM (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2018\/01\/22\/politics\/gop-classified-intelligence-fisa-memo\/index.html\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/thehill.com\/policy\/national-security\/370097-republicans-demand-new-special-counsel-over-lost-fbi-text-messages\">here<\/a>) and the blogs (<a href=\"https:\/\/theconservativetreehouse.com\/2018\/01\/19\/the-evidence-inside-the-house-intel-committee-four-page-fisa-memo\/\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/thezman.com\/wordpress\/?p=12706\">here<\/a>) about the various nefarious activities by the FBI and Justice Department now coming to light.\u00a0 Those by the bad guys (e.g., CNN) assure us that this is a tempest in a teacup and Mueller will continue his crusade to rid Washington of Trump and his people.\u00a0 Those by the good guys assure us that Trump and Sessions are merely marshalling the resources needed to perform a clean sweep of the whole swamp at one fell swoop.\u00a0 Well, you know who I\u2019d like to believe.\u00a0 But who do I believe?<\/p>\n<p>I think I believe our guys more.\u00a0 Now, I\u2019m not saying I think they have it all correct, far from it.\u00a0 But I do think the Trump Administration is coordinating efforts to mesh with certain other calendar considerations.\u00a0 And I won\u2019t claim I actually know which of the outside factors are the most important factors.\u00a0 But I can take a guess at which factors are in the running.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Midterms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Trump knows it is vital that the Republicans not lose the Congress, especially the Senate, if he is to have a strong hand in reshaping the Government.\u00a0 To that end he probably knows that he must time any move against Mueller and the Deep State so that it does not give the MSM a chance to panic the voting public.\u00a0 Whether that means acting earlier this year or closer to November is a very difficult question to answer.\u00a0 But it seems to me to be a big part of the puzzle.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Supreme Court<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When the Supreme Court has decided the major cases in June I suspect that Justice Kennedy will announce his retirement.\u00a0 Will this allow a replacement before the mid-terms?\u00a0 If so, maybe this is what is delaying other major actions.\u00a0 Perhaps getting this done before attacking the Deep State is a tactical decision.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>John McCain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Could it be that John McCain\u2019s imminent retirement from the Senate is a factor?\u00a0 If McCain is replaced with a more Trump-friendly vote would it aid in dealing with a paper thin majority in the senate?\u00a0 Possibly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mueller<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Could Mueller actually be on our side?\u00a0 I know, this is an incredible longshot.\u00a0 But there are some very strange things going on.\u00a0 Even if he\u2019s not on our side possibly pressure is being brought to bear to force his hand on some of this Clinton stuff.<\/p>\n<p>So, these are some of the things I\u2019ve been wondering about.\u00a0 Because, to be totally honest I\u2019m getting mighty tired of Mueller.\u00a0 I think Trump should fire him tonight and tell the country tomorrow morning why it had to be done.\u00a0 And then he should fire almost the whole Justice Department starting with the senior leadership of the FBI, CIA and NSA.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think it would hurt him at all.<\/p>\n<p>He should probably take some of those military men that the Obama administration forced out and put them in the Justice Department.\u00a0 And then he should fire the whole IRS and declare a one-year moratorium on taxes and send all of our withholdings back to us and really amp up the economy.\u00a0 But I\u2019m getting ahead of myself.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. President drain that swamp and make it snappy.\u00a0 I need some more winning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are articles in both the MSM (here and here) and the blogs (here and here) about the
