I suspect Trey Gowdy is the only republican on that committee who values his integrity more than his re-election, but that might just be because he's not running again. I still honor his willingness to stand up and do the right thing. I've honestly never had a problem with Gowdy until he kept voting with the GOP to cover Trump's ass and do Nunes' bidding. Glad to see this.
What I don't understand is, the Clinton Foundation received $140Million from that great humanitarian, Putin. This occurred during the Uranium One Deal. Why do you think there was a falling out? Was there a buyer's remorse? Or was the targeting of Hillary, a mis-direct strategy, to create negative optics, so the pay to play would appear less obvious?
For example, If I bribed someone in a position of power, but I was a known as self serving person by everyone else, I would not show my cards by being buddies with my agent. I would work out some smear play, between us, so everyone thinks we hate each other. Now we are not under the radar, and my contact is protected. This is bribery 1.0.
I would use buddy-buddy play, if I wished to make someone look suspicious, who was not. If I send a box of cigars to my enemy, I can create doubt, so I can better hide my real agent; spy 1.0. It is all about misdirect.
If you listen to Obama and even Hillary, leading up to the election, everyone assured us that there was no way anyone could tamper with the US election. The data shows the Obama Administration knew of the Russians. This only became a problem after Hillary lost. Then it was plan B, as though a switch was flipped.
Maybe plan B was the backup strategy; use fake news to pretend Hillary only lost using plan B. This could be used to undermine the legitimacy of Trump, and thereby undermine any evidence his administration may uncover, while being on the inside. That smells like Russian work. If Hillary had won, she would be on the top and plan B may never have been triggered. The great humanitarian Putin may have been a regular in the White House, with no signs of a falling out.
The successfulness of plan B is connected to the art of effective propaganda. The goal is to get people caught up in the latest news of the here and now, so they forget to extrapolate backwards; learn from history, and make sure all the ducks are in a row. Good propaganda will only look at the latest ducks, which appear to be in a nice line; zoom in! This is how short term thinking based propaganda works. The antidote is you need to look long term; Uranium One, and notice not all these ducks line up with the latest ducks. There are now new unanswered questions, since early ducks are now out of the line.
The way you induce short term thinking is with emotions. Emotions want immediate gratification and simple solutions. They are not designed for long term thinking; bigger complex picture. The emotional thinker wants this wrapped up and most are willing to stop it anywhere if its appears to satisfy emotional potential. Nobody wants to go backwards and look at the bigger line and risk another round of waiting.
Plan B benefits by inducing the strongest emotions; hate or fear, since these emotions are hard to carry long term. They need a constant, reboot. They are designed, by nature, to be short term. They both slow down time, so less seems like more; minutia thinking. If you are in fight and flight mode, you are not thinking yesterday or tomorrow, but only the immediate now. The immediate now can appear to add up; best way to satisfy short term emotional potential. You need to do a Mr Spock and shut off these emotions so the time scale widens. The left appear especially vulnerable due to previous feminization and PC programming training, worry only about feelings and not about logic.
