Dan Bongino explains the post-Manafort and Cohen stakes

August 22, 2018 by Bookworm Leave a Comment

Yesterday’s news had nothing to do with collusion. It was about Leftists attacking constitutional elections. Dan Bongino explains with facts and passion.

Dan BonginoDan Bongino was on fire today. If you haven’t yet listened to his podcast, I recommend you do. He begins by explaining what yesterday’s Manafort verdict and Cohen plea bargain mean, which is interesting. Where it really catches fire, though, is about 18 minutes or so into the podcast when he explains what the stakes are.

Bongino’s key point is that this is the time to fight. That Trump has an unsavory past is something we’ve always known about him. What we’re discovering, though, is that the Democrats and the Deep State (which usually, but not always, overlap), will do anything to overturn an election with which they disagree. This is much bigger than Trump. People who throw up their hands in either despair or disgust, while saying, “Well! Trump’s a sleaze so I’m not going to support Republicans in November” are turning themselves into dangerous quislings.

The effect of the Manafort verdict and Cohen plea bargain

August 21, 2018 by Bookworm Leave a Comment

While Leftists and #NeverTrumpers bathe themselves in ritual blood from the Manafort verdict and Cohen plea, Americans just want government to support them.

Manafort CohenManafort is not either a nice or a morally decent man. Today, the jury found him guilty on eight charges of tax fraud (long before he worked on the Trump campaign), while the judge dismissed the other eleven charges on grounds of mistrial. Likewise, there’s no reason to believe that Trump’s former attorney, Cohen, was a man of either decency or honor. Manafort was someone Trump ended up with when no one in the establishment would touch him in the run-up to the election, but Cohen and Trump go back a ways. Like many in New York’s big-time construction industry, Trump had his fixer.

However, it’s worth pointing out that past presidents — most notably Democrats — haven’t had very savory connections either. Manafort is no better than his past partners in business, the Podesta brothers, but while the latter continue to fly comfortably under the Clinton-Democrat-Deep State radar, Manafort, because of his connections to Trump, became a marked man.

Indeed, when it comes to the Clinton’s, I’d need to have as many fingers as the Hindu goddess Kali to count off all of their unsavory and deeply criminal connections. Obama was no better: Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, Louis Farrakhan, Palestinian terror supporters, his whole top-level IRS, Brennan, Hillary Clinton, etc. He had a rogues gallery surrounding him, all of whom again had the protective umbrella of the Clinton-Democrat-Media-Deep State complex. They weren’t less corrupt than anyone around Trump; they were just better insulated from their crimes.

But going back to Manafort and Cohen, while Trump and his supporters have pointed out that none of this has anything to do with collusion and that silencing a blackmail probably isn’t campaign fraud outside of Mueller-land, the Left and their fellow travelers amongst the #NeverTrumpers are in paroxysms of excitement, believing that (again) this is the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency. I thought I’d share some of their tweets with you. As you read the tweets from Leftists, please note that they haven’t yet seem to process that, if they get Trump out, then Pence is in. [Read more…]
