The Justice Department began investigating Donald Trump before he even became the Republican nominee in 2016.  There were rumors of collusion with Russians before election day.  It mattered not to the Democrats whether the rumors were true, and after election day, it mattered even less, because blaming Russian collusion was convenient.  Both Houses of Congress conducted exhaustive investigations into Trump collusion with Russia.  No evidence was found, because no evidence exists.  Then, double agent James Comey, the front man for the Deep State coup attempt, clumsily engineered the appointment of a Special Counsel to do yet another investigation.  Remember the sequence.  Trump fires Comey, based on a report from Rod Rosenstein.  Rosenstein then brings Robert Mueller to Trump as a nominee to replace Comey.  The day after Trump refuses to give Mueller the job, Rosenstein appoints Mueller Special Counsel to investigate Trump.  Now, a year into the phony Mueller witch hunt, there’s still no evidence of collusion, or of any other offense by Donald Trump.  Yet, the Left is unable to move on.  Although no investigator has been able to find any evidence of collusion, they still maintain that “there is ample evidence that Trump campaign people colluded with Russians.”  They don’t elaborate.  It’s not necessary, because the loony Leftists of the Resistance require no facts.  They have concluded that Trump is guilty, and must be removed from office.  If the economy has to suffer, and our foreign policy will be crippled, at a time when Trump is dealing with the North Koreans and Iranians, and oh yes, if we have to ignore the Constitution to do it, it’s alright with them.  The Resistance fighters, suffering as they do from delusions of rectitude, don’t often get it right, but they are right about something here.  Trump is guilty of crimes.  Not any crime listed in any statute book, mind you, but he remains guilty of two high crimes against the Deep State; Donald Trump proved he was right about the electorate in 2016, and he proved the Establishment was wrong.  There can be no more heinous crimes than these. In his march to the nomination, Donald Trump defeated 9 Governors, 5 Senators and 2 others.  Trump was the Populist candidate.  2016 was the year of the Populist.  Although I never saw Trump coming, I’d like to think I saw this  trend coming.  In FOF on September 4, 2015, I wrote, “I don’t know how this will end, but the Trump phenomenon proves what I have been saying for some time – 2016 presents a golden opportunity for the emergence of a conservative populist candidate.  Such a candidate can be nominated, and can be elected.”  The Republicans got this message, so they won.  The Democrats did not, so they lost.  The Democrats had a Populist candidate, Bernie Sanders.  Populism is a political philosophy supporting the rights and power of the people in their struggle against a privileged elite.  Now, Senator Sanders is a Populist in the mold of Fidel Castro or Huey Long.  The evil privileged elite for Communists such as Castro and Sanders is private business, and wealthy private citizens.  Trump is a Populist in the mold of Ronald Reagan. “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”  The privileged elite for Trump is the entrenched Establishment in the government, the Deep State.  Both Parties had Establishment, or legacy candidates.    The Republicans had Jeb Bush.  In the open and fair Republican primary system, the well financed Jeb lasted about 10 minutes before he was roundly rejected by the voters.  Republican primary voters were permitted to choose the Populist candidate.  The Democrats legacy candidate was Hillary Clinton.  Democrats were not permitted to choose their Populist candidate, because the Clintons had corrupted the primary process, much as they have corrupted everything else they’ve ever touched.  Hillary manipulated the rules to her advantage.  Super-delegates permitted her to win a State primary by a couple of points and build up a big lead in delegates.  How did Hillary win the nomination?  She cheated.  She recently complained that she was disadvantaged because she was forced to admit that she was a capitalist, and not a socialist.  Yes, the truth hurts.  Hillary was the embodiment of the Establishment and the Deep State.  The voters were in no mood for business as usual, but Hillary did not get the message.  So what are Trump’s crimes?  First, he won the election.  He made enemies in both Parties because he is not from the Establishment.  He cut the line.  Even if he had been part of the Establishment, he ran, he won, and it wasn’t his turn.  This sounds crazy, but it is a real thing.  Years ago, a 72 year old freshman was elected to the House of Representatives from Massachusetts.  He was asked what made him run for Congress at 72.  A bit puzzled by the question, the man answered, “It was my turn.”  Trump cut the line, committing a crime against the Deep State.  Crime number 2 – Trump proved the “experts” wrong.  Suffering as they do from delusions of rectitude, the experts cannot be wrong.  In 2016, they not only got the election result wrong, they got almost everything wrong.  The experts made the following predictions in 2016, all of them wrong:  Trump will not be the nominee; Jeb Bush will be the nominee; Joe Biden will run; Hillary will win the Michigan Democratic primary in a landslide; Republicans will have to embrace comprehensive immigration reform (that’s a good one).  As late as election day, November 8, 2016,  the New York Times reported that Hillary had an 85% chance of winning.  The website 538 gave her a 71% chance of being elected, and an 80% chance of winning Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.  The Huffington Post  put Hillary’s chance of winning at 98%, on election day!  Hours later, Donald Trump was elected.  Because the experts can never be wrong, it stands to reason that Donald Trump must have done something wrong.  He did, he became an enemy of the Deep State, and now he must be punished.
