While the president has so far managed to hold his own, replacing several Washington “insiders” who were hand-picked to undermine his White House with people he trusts, new details have emerged providing a glimpse into the powerful forces aligned against him.
Late last week The New York Times published a bombshell report that implicates the FBI in what can only reasonably be defined as a blatant act of treason and an attempt to overthrow a duly-elected president — simply for performing a constitutionally permissible act against one of their own.
Following the president’s firing of then-FBI Director James Comey, which, you recall, came at the recommendation of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, federal law enforcement officials claim to have become “so concerned” about POTUS’ behavior that they actually opened an investigation into “whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests,” sources told the Times.
The paper noted further:
The inquiry carried explosive implications. Counterintelligence investigators had to consider whether the president’s own actions constituted a possible threat to national security. Agents also sought to determine whether Mr. Trump was knowingly working for Russia or had unwittingly fallen under Moscow’s influence.
The investigation the F.B.I. opened into Mr. Trump also had a criminal aspect, which has long been publicly known: whether his firing of Mr. Comey constituted obstruction of justice.
The Times reported that “days” after “FBI officials” opened the investigation it was turned over to Mueller, which in and of itself makes the timing suspicious. In addition to that, the Times report never mentions who actually authorized the FBI’s probe — whether it came from the Justice Department, as is customary, or whether rogue agents opposed to POTUS Trump’s presidency took it upon themselves to launch an investigation. (Related: The deep state is real and it’s moving against Trump, says former CIA officer who is exposing the attempted coup.)
This investigation centered around a constitutional act by the president
Something else that is odd: The Times reported that the investigation was on a dual track — both criminal and counterintelligence, when usually such probes are either one or the other. The paper said that officials within the FBI and other federal entities not named (such as the Justice Department and the intelligence community) were allegedly concerned that the firing of Comey was both a criminal act and a sop to Russia, a national security issue.
Nearly two years later, we find that nothing substantiates either of those suspicions. The convictions that Mueller has gotten have been for crimes not related to POTUS Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia. What’s more, we’ve since learned that Comey had a major role in assuring that Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton, did not suffer legal fallout (as in, she wasn’t charged) for criminal mishandling of classified information.
Also, the fact that Mueller’s investigation has proceeded is prima facie evidence that the president did not obstruct it. And, as the Times reports deep into its story, “No evidence has emerged publicly that Mr. Trump was secretly in contact with or took direction from Russian government officials.”
The Constitution grants the president the authority to dismiss anyone in his employ — which is everyone who falls under the Executive Branch. As head of that branch of government, POTUS doesn’t need a reason to fire anyone, though Comey — through his politically motivated mishandling of Clinton’s investigation — surely provided Trump with cause.
The president’s legal team has dismissed the investigation as pointless and it turns out that’s certainly true. But that’s the right answer to the wrong question, which should be: Who authorized the probe in the first place? Because whoever did it was obviously trying to undermine the president in such a way as to cause his removal from office — a coup, in other words — and that’s blatant treason.
