Here’s a decent enough summary and commentary on what happened day before yesterday:
Let me give you the one take-away y’all need, and remember this comes from a former denizen of the Foggy Bottom Swamp, one who used to swim and crawl with all them swamp creatures.
What you saw were a couple of career dips–neither of whom I know personally–whining a familiar whine that one can hear echoing in the halls of Foggy Bottom and just about anywhere else where “PROFESSIONAL” civil servants congregate. What is it? Simple: THEY are not paying attention to us!
You saw Ambassador Taylor and Deputy Assistant Secretary Kent all in a knot because the President had an “irregular” channel he used to conduct foreign policy in Ukraine. Wow! I didn’t realize that we had elected Taylor and Kent!
Let me put it in nice simple terms so that the Swamp Beings will understand: The President sets and conducts foreign policy, not State, not the NSC, not the DOD, not any other alphabet agency. He does not have to go through State or NSC to conduct said policy; he does not have to consult with Kent or Taylor or anybody else on Ukraine or any other aspect of foreign policy.
Amen, and Amen.
For those still doubting the Deep State exists, what you saw was the reaction of the deep state to being replaced by a president willing to use the Constitution in the way it was written.
Understandably, the swamp creatures don’t like being put in their place.
And of course the Democrats… (in this case Adam Schiff, chiefly among them)… who are forever and always for anything that increases the size power and scope of government, and who has been benefiting hugely from the deep states’ existence, are going to bat for the swamp creatures… Twisting the meaning of laws, lying under oath, and doing everything they can legally, illegally, morally, immorally, what have you, to overturn the 2016 election.
Personally I will take great satisfaction to see Adam Schiff being frog marched off to the vertical bar hotel, a residence he richly deserves.
What is amazing to me at this point, is that the Democrats think this is helping their position come 2020. The amount of anger building out there at the Democrats is unlike anything I have ever seen in my 60 some-odd years on this planet. The backlash that’s going to be happening come November of 2020 is going to be epic.
And that will perhaps be the most satisfying thing of all of this.
