1/ Busy week last week, lovely weekend with our daughter, some fine meals in Nashville. With that, let's get on with the matter at hand, since Team Stupid thinks this phony "infiltration" panic is their killer app and now require a solid scourging.
2/ You know what the Trump fluffers are ignoring, yes?

They don't want to ask the first causes question, and it's pretty clear why.

The origins of so, so, so many counterintelligence operations start with SIGINT. This wasn't some political hack job. This was a rising wave...
3/ ...of information reaching various points in the IC and trickling UP the chain, not some top-down "Get Trump" operation.

This wasn't the ripshit "We gots us a dossier, let's RIDE, cowboys!" fantasy being sold by the Trump right media and Gentry Breitbart.
4/ When you, your family your private attorney, your most senior (and junior) campaign staff, business partners, and associates are ass-deep in contacts with people tied to Russian organized crime, Russian intel, and Russian oligarchs (but I repeat myself), it's going to show up.
5/ As we've discussed, the FBI, DOC, IC, and FISA court ain't playing beanbag.

They don't just say, "WHOA, Trump's a flaming dickbag! Let's subvert our oath and violate the law to screw him!"

The Fox crowd uses the asymmetry of what the FBI/DOJ/OSC is forbidden to reveal (yet)
6/ ...to draw this lurid, stupid portrait for an evil Deep State conspiracy directed by Kenyan Muslim Sleeper Agent Obummer and Evil Sorceress Hillary the Child Cannibal for the credulous, the slow, and the wilfully mendacious who know better.
7/ With all the contacts, associations, meetings, business deals, money, and hard intel that the Russians were attacking our election that *caused* the attention the Trump, if you think the system should have sat quietly and done nothing, allow me to propose a gedankenexperiment.
8/ Substitute "Trump" for "Clinton" and "Russian" for "Muslim" (or "Chinese") and tell me you wouldn't want the FBI to *do it's damn job*
9/ I've said this from the very, very start. The IC has a royal flush, or damn near it.

The fact that you haven't seen it yet is evidence of discipline, not absence.
10/ All this show, and bluster, and hair-tearing flim-flam from Team Trump is their usual disservice to the rule of law.

Steady on.
