WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN AT THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
In Bureaucracy, History, Politics, Social commentary on August 19, 2020 at 12:11 am
On August 18, the Senate Intelligence Committee released its findings on how Russia interfered in the 2016 Presidential election.
The report says: “In 2016, Russian operatives associated with the St. Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency (IRA) used social media to conduct an information warfare campaign designed to spread disinformation and social division in the United States….
“The Committee found that the IRA sought to influence the 2016 Presidential election by harming Hillary Clinton’s chances of success and supporting Donald Trump at the direction of the Kremlin.”
Among its key findings:
- Trump and senior campaign officials sought to obtain advance information on WikiLeaks’ email dumps through Roger Stone (whom Trump recently pardoned).
- Trump spoke to Stone about WikiLeaks, despite telling the special counsel in written answers he had “no recollections” of this.
- Two of the people who met at Trump Tower in 2016 with senior members of the Trump campaign had “significant connections to Russian government, including the Russian intelligence services.” Representing Trump were then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort; Jared Kushner, his son-in-law; and Donald Trump Jr., his eldest son.
- Manafort worked with Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian intelligence officer, and sought to share internal campaign information with him. Kilimnik may have been connected to Russia’s 2016 hacking operation. Manafort’s role on the campaign “represented a grave counterintelligence threat.”
Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin in Helsinki
The report is the combined product of then-Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr, a North Carolina Republican, and Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia. And it provides an exhaustive, bipartisan confirmation of the contacts between Russians and Trump associates in 2016
Yet not one speaker at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) has dared to warn viewers of the treasonous links between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Democrats will spend almost three months trying to convince voters that former Vice President Joe Biden isn’t a radical leftist, as Trump has repeatedly charged.
But Trump—who has repeatedly praised Putin and never acknowledged Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential campaign—will get a free pass by Democrats on both.
Nor will anyone at the convention dare mention the huge amounts of “campaign contributions”—i.e., bribe monies—funneled to Republican House and Senate candidates by Russian oligarchs tied to Putin.
Among these recipients:
- $1.5 million – PACs associated with Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
- $1 million – Trump’s Inaugural Committee.
- $1 million – Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund.
- $3.5 million – a PAC associated with McConnell.
- $1.1 million – Unintimidated PAC, associated with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
- $250,000 – New Day for America PAC, associated with Ohio Governor John Kasich.
- $800,000 – the Security is Strength PAC, associated with South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham.
The Kremlin
Democrats could have vividly illustrated this—by simply altering the famous Chuck Berry song, “Johnny B.Goode” to “Putin B. Trump”:
Way back inside the Kremlin where the lights glow red
There ruled a man named Putin who would poison you dead.
He came up with a plan to make his Russia great.
And all it took was bribes and Republican hate.
And Trumpy was a man who couldn’t read or spell
But he could sell out his land just like he’s ringing a bell.
His mother told him, “Someday you will be a man,
And you will be the leader of this Russian land.
Handing out bribes to every traitorous chump
Till you hit the jackpot with a shit named Trump.
Someday your infamy is gonna burn real bright
As in ‘Putin B Trump’ tonight!”
Former First Lady Michele Obama blasted Trump on the first night of the DNC: “Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country. He has had more than enough time to prove that he can do the job, but he is clearly in over his head. He cannot meet this moment. He simply cannot be who we need him to be for us. It is what it is.”
Michelle Obama
What she could—and should—have said is: “He was installed by Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. And since he took office, Russia has grown stronger while the United States has grown weaker.
“He has deliberately sabotaged the American healthcare system as a deadly plague kills tens of thousands of our fellow Americans. He has urged his followers to disobey laws requiring them to wear masks and maintain social distancing. Many of them have marched on state capitols brandishing automatic weapons.
“He has attacked reputable medical experts—such as Dr. Anthony Fauci—while peddling quack ‘cures’ like drinking Clorox bleach. And he has seized desperately-needed medical supplies from hospitals across the country.
“Why? Because, for decades, Vladimir Putin propped up his failing business empire with Russian monies. And now it’s time for him to pay off those debts.”
Naturally Trump and his allies would deny this. To which the Democrats could reply: “Fine. Prove it. Let’s see the evidence of your innocence.”
“When they go low, we go high” was Michelle Obama’s mantra in 2016. The result was Donald Trump.
When your enemy is going for those family jewels, it’s time to drop Marquis of Queensberry.
