Public Demands Investigation of Why F.B.I. Infiltrators Let Trump Get Elected

Millions of Americans are demanding an investigation into why, if F.B.I. operatives managed to infiltrate the 2016 Trump campaign, they utterly failed to prevent a nightmarish despot from being elected.

In interviews across the country, Americans expressed dismay and, in some cases, despair at the news that F.B.I. infiltrators might have had a golden opportunity to prevent the nation’s current unspeakable nightmare from unfolding but did not get the job done.

“The thought of F.B.I. infiltrators being inside the Trump campaign but not sabotaging it is, in a word, devastating,” Carol Foyler, of Akron, Ohio, said. “If it turns out to be true, I will totally lose my faith in F.B.I. infiltrators.”

Harland Dorrinson, of St. Petersburg, Florida, agreed. “If F.B.I. infiltrators were in a position to derail the most heinous threat to democracy in American history but didn’t succeed for some reason, that would be bigger than Watergate,” he said.

who infiltrated the Trump campaign and prevented the FBI operatives from being successful. After becoming president, Trump secretly traveled to Russia and presented tiles with dagger through American flag, to be added to Highest Honor wall of Smersh Agents killed. Trumped thanked the Smersh dead for their service, Putin cried, and Trump scoped out the females as all passed by the wall and kissed the newly added tiles.

Ah, OK -- I confess. I don't know anything about Black Cubes. Please explain how they helped Smersh to defeat the FBI informant.

Aides to President Donald Trump reportedly hired a private Israeli intelligence agency to dig up dirt on Obama's negotiators of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
The presidential team contacted the firm days after Trump visited Israel during his first trip as President in order to "discredit those who were pivotal" in the deal.
The wives of two members of Obama's administration were contacted by dubious foreign investors, as was a prominent Iranian-American writer.
The firm aides contacted was reportedly Black Cube, the same organization Harvey Weinstein used to discredit his accusers.

I guess it's not far off before orders are dictated from the Kremlin.

Oh wait.
