This just proves DJT was right about Russiagate! So that means the first impeachment was a FARCE... and the 2nd was too!
Newly Released Testimony Shows the FBI Knew the Russia Collusion Story Was Bogus
Senator Lindsey Graham, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has released several hundred more documents from his committee’s investigation into the origins of the FBI investigation into possible collusion between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign for president. Included in the document dump was the transcript of closed testimony given last June by former Justice Department official Dana J. Boente.
Boente was acting deputy attorney general in charge of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation for several months in 2017 and told the committee that he was briefed on the program at least six times.
Washington Times:
“I felt that it was important to know something about it,” said Mr. Boente, according to a transcript. “I don’t know if and when I was told that. I think — I recall being told at some point, maybe not February, between February and April, because thankfully my involvement ended in April, that there was no evidence of collusion with the Trump campaign.”
The FBI not only didn’t shut down the probe, they expanded it.
During this time, the FBI also won a judge’s approval for continued wiretapping of campaign volunteer Carter Page. The FBI’s affidavit was based almost exclusively on evidence provided by a Democratic Party-financed dossier prepared by ex-British spy Christopher Steele and sourced to the Kremlin.
The FBI learned in January that Mr. Steele’s main source, Russian-born Igor Danchenko, had told agents his information was unconfirmed hearsay. But the FBI continued to rely on the dossier.
Graham was obviously upset when he spoke of what was in the transcripts.
The Sun:
In a statement, Graham said: “I believe that Crossfire Hurricane was one of the most incompetent and corrupt investigations in the history of the FBI and DOJ.”
The senator added the committee had released “as much material as possible” – but said some material had been withheld as it was still “classified”.
Graham slammed the leadership of the FBI under James Comey and Andrew McCabe, saying it was either “grossly incompetent” or they “knowingly allowed tremendous misdeeds”.
Why didn’t the FBI and Justice drop a bogus investigation into a sitting president of the United States? Graham said: “The only logical explanation is that the investigators wanted an outcome because of their bias.”
But the FBI would never let their biases interfere with their professional judgment, right?
Nobody Called Obama and Hillary Seditious When They Demanded Electoral College Results Be Overturned
Even before the siege of the U.S. Capitol, the media were shocked and outraged over the request by Republican congressional members to conduct an audit of the nation’s 2020 presidential race won by Joe Biden in the Electoral College.
Democrats called for Senator Ted Cruz to be “arrested” for his “treasonous” call to audit the hinky presidential election results. Republicans agreeing to such an audit were “seditious.” In fact, it was so outrageous it was a “coups de grace,” too.
The voting irregularities were numerous, what with universal mail ballots, lax signature verifications, and extended deadlines in key swing states due to COVID changes by state apparatchiks and not legislatures, as required by the U.S. Constitution.
But rewind the tape. As I explained at PJ Media, in 2016 the Hollywood Left, a redundancy to be sure, called for Republicans to dump the duly elected Donald Trump in the Electoral College not because of the U.S. Constitution, but because they didn’t like him.
As I reported, it wasn’t considered “treasonous,” “traitorous” or ignoble to do so.
The Hollywood actors promised they would be Republicans’ best friends if electors would just dump the president and change the election.
“You have the position, the authority, and the opportunity to go down in the books as an American hero, Who. Changed. The. Course. Of. History,” said the earnest Martin Sheen-led chorus of professionally lit actors, who play dress up and say words written by other people for a living.
Democrat politicians cheered on overturning the election because … Resist! Resist! Resist! Which shape-shifted into Russia, Russia, Russia!
Congressman Jim Himes of Connecticut fumed on MSNBC, “We’ve got an electoral system out there that doesn’t work. We spend more on prison food than we do on elections!” Congressman John Conyers said there was “massive disenfranchisement.”
But sure, only President Trump is a weirdo for wanting a clean election.
Rewind the tape again. Remember the hanging chad election of 2000, when Democrat Al Gore wanted to keep counting until he won? All the Democrats were squarely behind the efforts to contest the election and it went on for nearly 40 days. Then the Clinton White House apparatchiks, who are now the big network “news” readers, took off the “W’s” from the keyboards in the West Wing. And they call President Trump immature.
Senators Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Edward Markey, Barbara Boxer and others joined Representatives Jamie Raskin, Pramila Jayapal, Mad Max Waters, Alcee Hastings, and Barbara Lee, among others, called for voting against certifying the 2004 election. See the video below if you doubt.
Of course, the Democrats were cheered on by the now-deposed High Priest of the Church of Perpetual Outrage, Keith Olbermann, who called their objections “important.”
The Washington Post didn’t call for the Democrats’ removal. Harvard didn’t call and want its honorary degrees back. Democrats weren’t tossed out of boardrooms, commissions or polite society because they contested the election.
Democrats keep overplaying their hand and their fauxrage is tedious.
It’s completely appropriate to be upset over the attack on the U.S. Capitol—everyone agrees on that.
But let’s also not forget that the Democrats in Congress and the media were already on the fainting couch before any riot occurred. Democrats are upset because President Trump questioned the election results, something only they may do.

(Opinion) Donald Trump'''s sordid pardons cement his corrupt legacy - CNN
The Founding Fathers would have been disgusted by President Donald Trump's serial abuse of the pardon power. Nearly 90% of his pardons to date have gone to friends or politically connected allies -- including corrupt politicians. While the President's pardon power may seem unconstrained by the Constitution, a closer look shows that Trump is violating every principle the framers of the Constitution assumed would be followed by a principled President -- and there's evidence they intended special constraints on a President's pardon power after they'd been impeached.
