Fox News Host Suggests “We Have a Coup on Our Hands in America”

I think it'd be fair to say he'd like the FBI to investigate Russian influence where we know it occurred.
So far, the evidence we know about points one way.

Who's we? Trump? No, I don't think that would be fair to say at all.

FOX NEWS is going crazy ivan on the conspiracy theories. When cheeseburgers are more important than 3 Federal Grand Jury indictments and 1 guilty plea it's fairly clear what they're up too.



Fox News employees were so embarrassed about the cheeseburger news, they threatened to quit.



FOX News is appealing to a group of low brained individuals. They have been losing viewership in wagon trains. MSNBC & CNN now number 1 & 2 in cable news are taking in former disaffected FOX News watchers. FOX is in a full blown panic over Trump (especially after Flynn pled guilty and is working with Mueller.) They went into hyper spin.

They have a yuuuuuge investment in Trump. During the primaries FOX News turned into the Trump media network, while ignoring all 16 other GOP candidates. They OWN Trump, and they know it. When he goes down, they go down with him. They're going to do everything they can to protect him, concoct conspiracies surrounding Robert Mueller, or just not report the news, rather deflect it.

Notice all you did was parrot my points: NOTE

'Schmidt headed the John McCain effort in 2008 & he wasn't very brilliant in that capacity as McCain had the lowest
electoral count of any republican candidate who never became president in 54, yes 54 years. As chief campaign strategist
he joined up with another MSNBC anchor Nicole Wallace in that disastrous campaign. MSNBC seems to be the requiem for
formerly failed republican mouthpieces and strategists. Smith & Wallace were heavy into the failed Bush & McCain decade,'

Then you go on to say he was in Republican politics for 20 years. You forgot to remember that Smith's entry into politics
was getting involved in Democrat Bill Bradley's campaign, whoops! The guy is a liberal hack who provided little to those
who gave him positions.

I noticed your advice:

'Get some education.' what?

My head high school football coach tried to recruit me toward his alma mater Delaware, which is the college that Schmidt
failed to graduate from although he spent four years there trying to do so. Coach knew it was an uphill battle as I had loftier
ambitions or should I say my dad had for myself. Your analysis or crystal ball is faulty again as I would put my alma mater
over yours if in fact you ever had an alma mater any day.

It is a fact that a hostile foreign power at least tried to influence our election.
The president of the United States does not want the FBI to investigate that influence.

Why?

Russia meddling in our national elections is a threat to democracy, pure and simple, and must be stopped. One must ask why the winner of the last election is so adamantly opposed to the FBI doing their job.

Asked and answered literally hundreds of times here. That you're asking it yet again just shows how little honest interest you have in addressing the fact that the Russians interfered in our election.

Yes, the opinion of the head of the FBI who was fired because his agency got too close to the truth.

Here's the public information. Of course, the FBI has more, but it's classified.

Ok, I frogot about that report. Ty you posting it again. I'm gonna reread it but if I recall correctly it does not offer any evidence just it's conclusions. I'm not saying they are wrong but they are asking us believe them based on good faith. I honestly do question if they have been acting in good faith or not.

well, all I can say is that since Trump was campaigning this nation has gone to Hell in a ****ing hand basket; it was INSANE to see the GOP accept all of the crazy **** from Trump during the campaign & then make Trump as their GOP pick.

Now, we have a POTUS that is just as insane & whack as the candidate Trump; I have never seen such a ****ing buffoon in my life as POTUS.

Having Trump as POTUS is about the worst anomalous **** I have seen in my life time.

Coup? LOL, ............. the only thing that is threatening Trump is Trump himself ............. he is his own worst enemy ................. he is like a hillbilly with money ............ a stupid hillbilly with money ............

I didn't "parrot your points". I pointed out the sheer ignorance of your post.

Who the hell is "Smith"?

And Schmidt's entry into politics was getting heavily involved in Bill Bradley's campaign? Steve Schmidt was born in 1970 and he handed out brochures for Bill Bradley's 1978 Senatorial campaign - when he was 8 years old. and living in New Jersey. How heavily involved do you think he was at 8 years old?

Every post you make shows me more and more why Trump loves the uneducated so much.
 
slick said:
So this Steve Schmidt is now a favorite of the Trump opposition. You call him a republican strategist, if he were that I doubt
he'd be an MSNBC commentator. The guy is constantly on with Maddow, O'Donnell & the newest to be reported sexual harasser
Matthews for one reason to bash Republicans. And you post he's a 'smart man' who didn't even graduate from college.

Schmidt headed the John McCain effort in 2008 & he wasn't very brilliant in that capacity as McCain had the lowest
electoral count of any republican candidate who never became president in 54, yes 54 years. As chief campaign strategist
he joined up with another MSNBC anchor Nicole Wallace in that disastrous campaign. MSNBC seems to be the requiem for
formerly failed republican mouthpieces and strategists. Smith & Wallace were heavy into the failed Bush & McCain decade,
& when the republicans finally found a winning candidate who thoroughly toyed with Jeb Bush in the primary & made his opinions
of McCain well known in a rather obnoxious not politically correct way these losers become incensed with Trump for dissing their
former employers. What else would you expect. Look don't refer to the likes of Schmidt or Wallace as republicans
anymore & you can add Anna Navarro of CNN to that list of so-called
Republicans who because Trump's heavy beat down of her preferred candidates 'Low Energy Jeb"
& 'Little Marco' has with her absolute scorn for Trump commentated like she is seeking the title of ' The worlds most hysterical women'
on Cable.

Just Say 'Yes' to Prosperity, Trump seems to be doing just fine! I'm sure Schmidt's commentary bothers Trump
about as much as an annoying fly bothers an elephant.

I am just fine with a bought and paid for establishment mouthpiece making his projection and transference case. He was a big part of the reason the mccain campaign was an ineffective effort. He is just the guy one wants to work for the other side.

Republican Strategist Predicts Yuge Electoral Victory for Clinton with over 400 Electoral Votes.

Scarborough: Over 400?

Schmidt: Yes.

When the rubber hits the road his observations repeatedly end up in flames. He is either a moron or recognizes the need to stay in opposite land to get paid.

That's not what I am getting. Look if you want to stay with FOX NEWS--to listen to the B.S. go ahead. I used to be a FOX News watcher and changed the channel as soon as they turned into the Trump media network during the primary.

They have lost all credibility with all these conspiracy theories. We know why they're doing it. They can't point fingers at themselves for helping make this Ass Clown the poster boy of the Republican party--so they have to attack the credibility of others in this investigation Robert Mueller to keep their audience.

FOX NEWS is under investigation & a Federal Lawsuit regarding promotion of a story around the death of a DNC staffer, Seth Rich--and accused of fabricating this story with White House Oversight. Sean Hannity has continually promoted a well known intelligence enemy of this nation Julian Assange, Wikileaks founder who has been hole'd up in the Ecuador embassy for the last 4 -1/2 years avoiding extradition back to the U.S. to face charges for what he did to G.W Bush, basically putting a target on every American soldiers back. Julian Assange who recently released thousands of classified CIA documents, informing terrorists on the tactics used to catch them.
Why is Julian Assange still inside the embassy of Ecuador? - Telegraph
https://www.nbcnews.com/video/cia-d...s-a-hostile-intelligence-service-920739395951
Lawsuit: Fox News concocted Seth Rich story with oversight from White House - Aug. 1, 2017



Sean Hannity then started another conspiracy about the Dossier file and Uranium One. That have both been debunked by MSNBC and Shep Smith.





So at some point you have to ask yourselves. When is enough--enough? It's very clear what FOX NEWS is doing & why they're doing it. I feel sorry for investigative reporters like Shep Smith on this network, but it is clear they are overwhelmed by these political soap box opera's that line their network.

The dossier is simply an investigation. It didn't manufacture the Russian interference.

Its what was done before Trump won thats truly disturbing.

Yes, Trump's actions to undermine the security of the United States via his cronies are truly disturbing, as is the brainless acceptance of the anti military, anti police, anti American agenda his followers have shown.

You're confused.

You're thinking of a right-wing newspaper hiring FUSION to do oppo research on Trump and others but that ended by June 2016.
The cool stuff came from Steele using Russian sources to create the dossier after that.
Steele's firm was hired by FUSION who was hired by the Clinton campaign's law firm to create the dossier ... it used Russian sources.
Christopher Steele had been ex-MI6 for years by the time he birthed the dossier for FUSION/Democrat Party.

FUSION has quite a ubiquitous presence in DC politics.
- The wife of one FBI agent who was involved with Mueller's team works for FUSION.
- It's been speculated that the phony stuff from the dossier might have been used by the FBI to get FISA warrants.
The peculiar activities of some on Mueller's team (who have been reassigned) make that seem possible.
- Remember that Russian lawyer babe, Natalia Veselnitskaya? The one who had the meeting with Junior to feed him dirt on Hillary but had nothing to deliver?
Well, FUSION worked on something that involved her and one of FUSION's co-founders met with her before and after Junior's meeting.
It looks like her real purpose for the meeting had nothing to do with dirt on Hillary but rather to influence a Law Russia wanted changed that FUSION was helping with.
