Review of The Plot Against the President

No Charge

An excellent documentary.  I read all the one star reviews and the only one that had a plausible argument stated that “nobody has ever been charged with any crime relating to "a plot against the President and 7 people connected to the President's campaign have been convicted of crimes.”  This only proves that the Deep State is still in charge.  Numerous intel officials have lied to Congress without consequences.  Flynn should be appointed head of NSA.  He is being kept in limbo by Deep State Sullivan.  Deep State denizens are experts at deception.  The sharpest lawyer in town, Sydney Powell, was fooled by Judge Sullivan who was instrumental in destroying Sen. Stevens.  He was the hero of her book.  Who leaked the Ambassador Sergey Kislyak interview and was there an investigation of the leak?  I am beginning to have doubts about Sen. Ron Johnson.  He allowed the FBI to interview Tony Bobulinski, former business partner of Hunter Biden just before he was scheduled to testify before the Senate.  I have seen countless classified document and none of them have been classified “confidential/sensitive source.”  The “dossier” was obviously a fraud.  This is all part of what Nancy Pelosi calls the ‘wrap-up smear.’ 

My only complaint is that John Solomon described Adam Schiff as a modern-day McCarthy.  Schiff is not fit to lick Sen. McCarthy’s shoes.  

Another Media Attack Fails

 

Never Trumpers believe Savannah Guthrie did an excellent job in her role as moderator of the Trump Townhall.  Trump supporters believe the exact opposite.  What is important is the view of the large number on undecided viewers.  The response of the public does not appear to support the Trump opponents' plans.

Did the Trump campaign pay NBC executives to choreograph this town hall or are they really that incompetent?  Savannah Guthrie was coached by NBC executives.  They knew exactly how she would behave.  They did not take into consideration the negative reaction to Chris Wallace's performance during the first debate.  Guthrie did not come across well.  It is almost unbelievable that these highly paid executives could be so incompetent.

The President knew in advance what he would be confronted with.  The Deep State Media have a limited number of questions in their quiver.  One mandatory question is about his willingness to denounce white supremacy.  Guthrie stated, "You were asked point blank to denounce white supremacy.  In the moment you didn't.  You asked me follow-up questions. Two specifically."  The President mentioned that his advisors told him this would be brought up.  If there is another "debate" it will certainly be brought up again.  Through repetition it will convince a number of people that he has not denounced it. The fact that there are numerous recording of his denunciations is irrelevant.  Has Guthrie or Wallace denounced white supremacy?  If they have not done so publicly can it be assumed that they are white supremacists?

There are legitimate arguments that can be made about this administration’s policies.  They can be argued in a civil fashion by well informed critics.  Although this was not Guthrie's role as a moderator, she spent much of the hour presenting arguments about Trump.  She was neither civil or informed.  How would Kamala Harris have handled the interruptions?

A large number of commentators think that the President is not very intelligent.  He consistently makes fools of them and yet they do not seem to catch on.  Guthrie believes she is so much more intelligent than Trump and that he is an illegitimate President.  Therefore there is no need to be respectful.  The vast majority of people saw her come across as a harpy.  If she was dealing with an average citizen her behavior would be considered inappropriate.  Her disrespect for the President was inexcusable.

One peculiar exchange involved QAnon.  Guthrie appeared to be more agitated when discussing this.  She questioned, "Let me ask you about QAnon."  The President responded, "I know nothing about QAnon."  When Guthrie told him, "I just told you," the President replied, "What you tell does not necessarily make it fact."  Perhaps Trump's responses can account for her agitation but there seemed to be more to her interruptions about the subject of pedophilia.

The Covid virus was the reported reason why Townhalls were conducted instead of a debate.  Yet the two contenders, George Stephanopoulos and Savannah Guthrie conducted the Townhalls without a problem.  Wallace and Guthrie's interrogation of the President played into Trump's hands by reinforcing the view that the media is biased.  The President's opponents will believe that Guthrie did a good job.  They are delusional in this as they are in so many other areas.

The FBI Finds Its Right Wing Terrorist Group

The Deep State has been looking for a high profile right wing terrorist group.  They claim they have found it. 

FBI Director Christopher Wray warned lawmakers that Russian election interference and violent white supremacist groups rank among the top threats to U.S. national security.  He told lawmakers that “racially-motivated violent extremism” remains the top domestic threat in the U.S and white supremacist-type ideology is certainly the biggest chunk of that.”  When questioned about Antifa Wray testified “Antifa is a real thing.  It’s not a group or an organization. It’s a movement or an ideology, maybe one way of thinking of it." Representative Chrenshaw responded that Wray "seems to me to be downplaying it.”  He remarked that “This is an ideology that has trained its members, makes shield wall phalanxes to attack federal officers, formed an autonomous zone in an American city and besieged a federal courthouse in another. So, I mean, it just seems to be more than an ideology.”  Congressman Van Drew told Wray, “In my mind, there is Antifa, there is a group — a group or individuals that control Antifa and have some authority over it. And it is to some degree, without question, organized.”

The Congressmen's concerns were seconded by Senator Rand Paul.  Senator Paul and his wife  were threatened by rioters after leaving President Trump's acceptance speech.  He claimed, "We’re seeing these people some of the same faces are in Portland, Kenosha, D.C. Louisville.  How are they getting there. They’re staying at the w hotel the Willard hotel.  The Willard hotel might be 500 to a 1,000 a night.  Who’s paying for them to stay at the Willard hotel? Who’s paying for them to have air flight? Who’s paying them to do this?  And here’s the sad truth of it.  It’s probably not gonna be a sinister name like George Soros it’s going to be corporate America.  Corporate America is giving money to Black Lives Matter."  Senator Paul's assertion is backed up by the in Kenosha, Wisconsin police department that reported 102 of the 175 individuals arrested as part of the riots were residents of another city.  

Yet the focus of the FBI remains on "white supremacists."  Like CNN reporters who babble about peaceful protests while fires rage in the background, Wray and his FBI are oblivious when it come to left-wing violence.  The FBI has circulated a bulletin claiming, “Based upon current information, we assess the greatest threat of lethal violence continues to emanate from lone offenders with racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist ideologies and [domestic violent extremists] with personalized ideologies.”  The bulletin makes only one brief mention of Antifa.  The Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Michael Sherwin was asked by Tucker Carlson, "Who are these people?"  Sherman responded, "with some of these individuals there's a loose affiliation with some extremist groups on the left and on the right."  Tucker asked him, "What right wing groups are they affiliated with and what percentage are from the right?  Sherwin claimed he didn't have the data and he didn't "want to pidgeonhole any specific group."  

 

Finally there is a group that can be pidgeonholed.  The Wolverine Watchmen have come to the rescue.  The FBI announced that it had made arrests of several “right-wing terrorists” who were plotting to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.  This was a perfect opportunity for the Governor to attack the President.   Whitmer claimed, "Hate groups heard the president's words not as a rebuke, but as a rallying cry, a call to action."  Trump was chastised again for not denouncing the far right vehemently enough.  According to the NY Daily News, "Trump and Barr have all but ignored an explosion of far-right violence across the country."

We know that this group is right wing because one of its members posted several videos on TikTok.  In one of them was wearing a Hawaiian shirt, the trademark clothing of members of the right wing antigovernment Boogaloo movement.  Also what appeared to be a Confederate flag could be seen near the home on one of the members.  In addition some of the Wolverine Watchmen apparently made pro-Trump tweets.  

There are several problems with the FBI's allegations.  First the is the question of the FBI's credibility.  We may also be advised to check our wardrobes for any right-wing clothing.  A leader of the group, Brandon Caserta, produced a video with an Antifa flag in the background.  One of the group's goals is to attack on police.  This is a popular cause of the left.  A flag only "appears' to be a Confederate flag.  Perhaps it was actually a Norwegian flag.  The two are sometimes confused.  Another member, Adam Fox, sounding like the 19th Century anarchist, Sergie Nechaev, stated “I just wanna make the world glow, dude. I’m not even f***in’ kidding. I just wanna make it all glow dude. I don’t f***in’ care anymore, I’m just so sick of it. That’s what it’s gonna take for us to take it back, we’re just gonna have to everything’s gonna have to be annihilated man. We’re gonna topple it all, dude. It’s what great frickin’ conquerors, man, we’re just gonna conquer every f***in’ thing man.”

The Wolverine Watchmen's true allegiance will eventually be determined by the slueths of the internet  Their findings will probably not make the headlines and it is unlikely any revelations will effect the election.
