On October 28, 2016, the FBI director, James Comey felt an obligation to inform the voting public that he reopened the Hilary Clinton investigation because Anthony Weiner's lap top could have incriminating evidence on it. The fact that it was bull shit and nothing came of it and Hilary was cleared did not change the fact that her momentum had been broken and the bogus call fed right into the anti-Clinton narrative. There is no doubt in Hilary's mind, or mine, that cost her the election. Sure, there were other factors, but without that letter to Congress, she would have won. The other factors made it close, but that letter made the difference.
Now, we find out that Manafort was not only under investigation for what I call Treason, but that the FISA court issued warrants to put the bastard under surveillance. That there was a case, far more believable and sinister than anything Hilary was suspected of.
I know if that was revealed during the election, I personally could have changed dozens of minds. Maybe not switched Trump to Hilary, but influenced Trump voters to abandon him and sideliners to vote for Hilary.
Remember that last week? We were all on the defensive. Remember what Trump said, "that we shouldn't elect a President that will be under investigation on day one"? As it turns out, that should have been our line.
As a result, I am more pissed off today than at any time since November 8, 2016.
These assholes chanted "Lock Her Up"? every fucking one of them should be locked up for Treason ( I know, it's not technically Treason, but it certainly will end up to be conspiring with a hostile foreign country to undermine our Democracy).
Boy, am I pissed.
