Democrat Collusion and Russian Collusion

Less than two weeks ago, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Democrat Senator Charles Whithouse (D-RI) ran a hearing of the Senate Judiciary sub-Committee on Crime and Terrorism that featured testimony from former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and the fired Acting Attorney-General Sally Yates.

In the course of his questioning, Senator Whitehouse listed six kinds of things that Russia could do to influence the American election.  I believe it was item four that was murder and political violence, which Whitehouse dismissed as having been done by Russia in the last election cycle.

At that point all the Republican Senators missed an opportunity to interject that political violence was the domain of the Democrat party in the 2016 cycle.  In late October, 2016, Project Veritas released videotape of Democrat operatives discussing how to bring about violence at Trump’s rally in Chicago.

Of course, the Democrats would react indignantly to such an accusation, and point to walls of deniability between the rioting and Hillary Clinton.  But the reasons Democrats could logically give to establish that they engaged in no political violence would undercut their assertions that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the election from Hillary Clinton.

In my posting of 25 Oct 2016, headed “Hillary’s IMF Team” I reported on the activities of Project Veritas, which taped senior Democrat operatives openly discussing violence at Donald Trump rallies.  Project Veritas released tapes showing prohibited coordination between Hillary herself and an organization called “Americans United for Change” and with Democracy Partner’s Robert Creamer, who was also a member of the Democratic National Committee.

Project Veritas reported that Hillary Clinton wanted “Donald Duck” to appear at Trump rallies to showcase her demands that Trump release his tax returns.  “In the end, it was the candidate, Hillary Clinton, the future president of the United States who wanted ducks on the ground,” says Bob Creamer, of Democracy Partners, “and so, by God, we would get ducks on the ground.”

Also involved in the coordination between Hillary Clinton and actions taken at Trump rallies were Brad Woodhouse, president of Americans United for Change (AUFC), Scott Foval, and DNC Rapid Response Coordinator, Aaron Black.  Project Vertias has Brad Woodhouse on tape saying, “let me tell you something.  I think she [i.e. Hillary Clinton] has the right instinct on this.  This thing is resonating, but that story is not exactly what you want to hear about how presidential decision-making happened,” indicating that Woodhouse believed that Hillary was the source of the request.

Project Veritas has Bob Creamer on tape saying how the word was passed to him.  “I was actually on a plane to go to London last week – Christina Reynolds [Deputy Communications Director of Hillary for America] calls saying, ‘I have good news and bad news.  The good news is that candidate would like to have a mascot following around the duck – I mean, Trump.”  And then Creamer says, “If the future president wants ducks, we will put ducks on the ground.”

Hillary’s campaign team and the DNC coordinated campaign activities with Americans United for Change and Democracy Partners.

The Hillary campaign argued, and the media accepted at the time, that Hillary was not responsible for these things done in her name.  Bob Creamer resigned from the DNC and “stepped down” from campaign activities.  Scott Foval was fired from AUFC.  Project Veritas was condemned for recording people without their knowledge or consent.

Project Veritas provided documented proof of illegal collusion between the Hillary campaign and 501(c)(4) organizations, with evidence that that collusion received direction from Hillary herself, and no criminal investigation or charges were ever contemplated against Hillary or anyone else involved.

What evidence do the Democrats have of collusion between the Trump campaign and “Russia?”  First of all, if anyone with any connection to Russia at all existed in the Trump campaign, the Democrats would be howling in outrage.  At best, they can find Paul Manafort, who once worked for the Russia-favoring deposed president of the Ukraine. Carter Page, who has had business dealings with Russia for many years, was never connected in a substantive way with the Trump campaign. Democrats think the hacked emails put up by WikiLeaks were provided by the Russian Intelligence services, as if thicker lines of deniability would not exist between them and WikiLeaks as between Hillary Clinton and the appearances of Donald Duck.

Every excuse the Democrats would seize upon to separate Hillary from Donald Duck would have to be denied in the case of connecting Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin.

The desperate attempt by Democrats and the Fake News Media to connect Donald Trump’s presidency to Vladimir Putin deserves to fail.  Hillary Clinton would be in jail long before Paul Manafort could be fingered as a genuine bad guy (if he even was!), given the disparity in evidence.  The NSA with all its powers of SIGINT have come up with zilch on Turmp, while little Project Veritas produced conclusive documentation sufficient to put people in jail.

There was no collusion between the sinister “Russia” and Donald Trump.  Even if there was, given the thick barriers of deniability a serious Intelligence power could put up, every attempt to breach those walls by Democrats would destroy a wall separating Hillary Clinton from criminal collusion with progressive, Democrat-run organizations that stirred up violence at Donald Trump rallies.

It is high time the Republicans went on offense concerning Russian collusion.  Stop talking about what Democrats might find, and tell us what you actually have.  And bring up Project Veritas and the need to investigate the demonstrated illegal collusion that actually occurred in the campaign.
