The firing of McCabe, and the finding of the House Intelligence Committee that there was no collusion is just the start of what is going to become a major scandal of Watergate proportions, except that it is the Clintons, the DNC, and senior officers of the FBI and justice, and the Obama White House who will be swept up this. All indications are there was a massive effort initiated by the Clintons to try to stop Trump, and then to undermine him after the election. The dossier was clearly the centerpiece of the conspiracy, and it was McCabe who pushed the FISA warrant using the dossier. He seems to have also been working with Strzok and his girlfriend in a separate conspiracy to undermine Trump with what they referred to as the “insurance policy'. Whether that was the just revealed relationship with the FISA judge, who was also the judge to hear the Flynn case is unclear yet.
We have Clinton and the DNC laundering money through Perkins Coie, to pay for the dossier, in a clear violation of campaign laws. A clear effort by McCabe and Comey to cover up for Hilary on her e mail and the failure to pursue an investigation of the corruption of the foundation payoffs. Then separately there is the unmasking by Susan Powers, the UN ambassador who unmasked over 200 names, the odd CYA memo form Susan Rice to the file the day before the inauguration, and the connection of Bruce Ohr and his wife.
What is clear from all of this is that there was a widespread conspiracy to go after Trump and then to undermine him once he won the election. What the Democrats were doing made whatever Putin was doing look like child's play. This was all combined with the clear effort by Schumer to stop as many appointment confirmations as possible, and by he and Pelosi to try to stop any legislation from passing to completely hobble Trump from governing. The clear anti Trump bias of the mainstream media and CNN was just more piling on to convince voters that Republicans should not be in control, and that Trump is a racist, bigot, and whatever else they could make up. The McCabe firing is just the first layer of the onion to appear, and now things will unravel fairly fast once the IG report is released and once Meuller and the Senate committee announce there was no collusion. Before this is over there will be people in jail. Someone will be the new John Dean. This unraveling will happen over the summer just before the election, and that is what matters to CRE.
