Donald Trump was always the target.
The point of the Russia investigation was to make a case against Donald Trump. Preferably, the case would drive him from office. At a minimum, it would render him unelectable by the 2020 stretch run. The kind of case was less important than the objective: criminal prosecution or impeachment. In accordance with the collusion narrative, the latter would mean trying to show that Trump was compromised by the Kremlin.
That is the astonishing takeaway from Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on former FBI director James Comey’s handling of his memos.
In truth, it’s not that astonishing. It happens to be the theory of my new

“... the underlying truth has been discernible for a long time. The Obama administration launched an investigation in which the target was Donald Trump and the objective was short-circuiting his presidency.”
We the People were the target.

I love Andrew, and I think he's right on Target. Unfortunately, NOTHING is going to happen to the Players involved in this Coup. So, I guess it's time to move on! Nothing to see here! Obama and His Henchmen win...again! I'm depressed!

In her new book, Radicals, Resistance, and Revenge, Judge Pirro details how Democrat socialists and the enemedia coordinated years of fake news stories about Mueller "closing in on President Trump" to draw attention away from the president's many policy accomplishments, one after another -- including the morning armed FBI agents and CNN hacks showed up to arrest Roger Stone at his home.
It's an interesting treatment of how the Deep-State operates. MAGA

They thought since Trump was new to DC & a non politician he would be an easy target. They used every resource, 35 million $$$, 19 prosecutors, 2800 subpoenas, 500 warrants, caused 36 bankruptcies, solitary confinement , 17 armored vehicles, 19 agents sent to one house for lying to congress, caused the President to be a false target for over 3 years. I don't understand why people do not have more compassion for the lives Comey, Mueller & Weissermann tried to destroy.

Pushing a book on three-year-old news. Hillary Clinton paid for the creation of the hoax so what other conclusion is there? As it turns out, it was one big firecracker in the democrats' hands.

I'm not worried about Obama or Hillary Clinton in all of this we know all roads lead to them all I want are the 'henchmen'. The orchestrators of the coup starting with Comey once the nucleus of the perpetrators are pinched more will fall into place. I want Obama and Hillary Clinton to run to the tall weeds never to be heard from again. Time will take care of those two.

It was nothing less than an attempted coup d'etat. I never thought I'd see a real-life version of "Seven Days in May," but the Left has metastisized in this country to the extent that we live in real peril of a Fascist takeover. May God give PDJT strength to defend our constitutional republic.

Judge Pirro nails it. Jerry GoNadler was screeching about "IMPEACHMENT" about 10 seconds ( or so it seemed) after Mueller coughed up his last hairball from his (so-called) report.

#7, I'm in agreement, stop worrying about Obama and Hillary, focus on the others involved, particularly at the lower levels, and work up from there.
There are likely many who won't want to spend years in prison, but thought they had no choice but to do what their superiors were demanding. This will work it's way up the ladder.
Let the chips fall were they fall. If they tarnish the institutions people once used to admire, that will be the legacy many of those involved will leave, but it's the only way those institutions will be able to gain the people's trust again.

If the “coup” plotters get away with a tap on their hands, the future ultimate victims of all the political corruption that took place on the seventh floor at FBI HQ will probably be the street level FBI special agents assigned to the FBI field offices around the USA, who are conducting legitimate counterintelligence and criminal investigations, and who will no doubt find that people who would normally be expected to cooperate with the FBI in those investigations will instead remain silent.
