Over a year and a half ago some friends and I were talking...

And we all agreed that the intelligence community was going to take Trump down if he gave them the chance. No Deep State bullshit. None of us thought they would manufacture things. But we all agreed that if they collected intelligence during his presidency that would take him down then they would use it.

At that point in time Trump had insulted the intelligence community repeatedly. I don’t recall exactly what he had done that day but remember we were all shaking our heads. His attacks on them were completely unnecessary.

Trump is done at this point. Because of who he has pissed off the dots are already connected. I’m convinced of this. Watch Republicans start to jump ship as more of their colleagues names show up on documents released and evidence collected.

He unnecessarily insulted the intelligence community and then sold out the country right in front of them.

Starting on January 21, 2017, when he went out to CIA HQ and, standing in front of the CIA's memorial to officers who had died on the job, whined about how big his inaugural crowd was.

Or at least no later than that day.

Do not mess with the Spooks!

I remember thinking along the same lines. Why is he pissing off the IC? They can dial up his past crimes in ten seconds and splatter them all across 5th Avenue.

Glad it's all happening now.

And I'm delighted that Barr seems to be in the line of fire as well.

give their life for their country is never a good idea. Doing it repeatedly is an even worse idea. I’m still convinced there is a world wide effort to take down the whole bunch of them. This will root out every Putin pawn in every country.

They know stuff. What they don't know they can learn.
