I think its obvious that there are drafts of the IG report “investigating the investigators” circulating around.

I just can’t figure out what is going on. Is the “spying” stuff another “no collusion, no obstruction” - like move, designed to create a false frame for an IG report that exonerates the intel community?

Or is the “spying” stuff based on the IG report conclusions that are being leaked?

I had a hard time being a teenager in Germany after they got Eichmann. I was a Rod Serling fan and often imagined a Serling-esque scenario in which I was playing ping pong in our cellar and was transported to, let’s say, less friendly environs in less friendly times.

Since then my feelings have matured. A lot.

It’s been drilled into them. Spankee-Mania is a cult and they learn to chant all the right words. The first words they all learned were “lock her up”…

If you are a US citizen talking to Russian operatives or government officials you should expect to be monitored.

They are not our friends, they are the spies.
