The narrative forming on this thread (and from the NYT OpEd) is that there is a formalized collection of bureaucrats and appointees actively working to undermine the Administration. I don't mean leaks that embarrass Trump; I mean an active effort to thwart policy initiatives and have him removed from office by intentionally interfering with the wishes of the President and his senior advisers. Someone on this thread has even trotted out the term "junta". On a related thread, one poster is fantasizing about FBI officials being perp-walked in the run-up to mid-terms.
From my chair, it's hard to know how much of this is beginning to slip into conspiracy theory nut-land and how much could actually be real/truth.
First, I presume you are referring to the Q thread. The posts on that thread are primarily sourced to info on the 4 and 8 chan information. This thread has posted sources from all over the place from both MSM, the blogosphere and official government documents from court pleadings and reports from Congressional committees and the Inspector General's office. If you cannot perceive the difference there, then I am wasting my time addressing you.
However, you are generally a good poster so I will make the effort. Ask yourself the question why would the
New York Times publish an anonymous Op-ed going down the coup-conspiracy rabbit hole?? (If we have been the crazy ones, in your view, for the last 9 months this thread has been in existence, why did the
NYT join in now?)
The general maxim to never ascribe animus to actions that just as easily could be explained as incompetence goes double for government bureaucracies. So caution is always a good idea until facts are revealed indicating otherwise. After reading the Strzok/Page texts, Brennan and Comey's tweets and statements, for examples, can you deny there is strong evidence of a palpable animus against Trump contained therein?
After reading the unredacted portions of the FISC findings of improper and unauthorized access to raw NSA meta-data uncovered by Admiral Rogers and confirmed by Judge Collyer, do you still doubt that our government agencies including the FBI/DOJ and to a lesser extent, the CIA, were engaged in conduct that violated their own internal procedures and most likely federal law?
Do you believe the upper levels of the FBI/DOJ completely botched the Hillary email investigation on purpose to protect her? Or do you believe she was just "careless"? If the former, then that is obstruction of justice and corruption.
The FBI narrative of the origins of
Crossfire Hurricane has developed as many holes as swiss cheese, the Mueller investigation has been a bust in developing a scintilla of evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia (his original mandate), there is ample evidence of animus, repeated violations of procedures and federal law, corruption at the highest levels of the FBI/DOJ and WE are the crazy ones??
Really?
