KELLY: Former Trump Critics Face Reckoning as Lawfare Backfires

By Julie Kelly | Commentary, Declassified with Julie Kelly

Perpetrators of the destructive decade-long lawfare against Trump, his family, his advisors, and his supporters thought he would end up in jail, not back in the Oval Office. Now they’re sweating.

MAGAland is cautiously optimistic that someone—anyone—finally will face consequences for unleashing the most destructive, deceptive, and costly abuse of government power against a single political figure and his movement in American history.

This week, the Department of Justice ramped up investigations into the origins and extension of the Russiagate hoax amid new disclosures that give greater clarity as to exactly what went down in 2016 when top Obama officials, including the sitting president himself, conceived plans to sabotage Donald Trump before and after the presidential election. Attorney General Pamela Bondi just tasked a prosecutor with presenting evidence of a criminal conspiracy to a federal grand jury; the move follows criminal referrals sent to the Department of Justice last month by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky) today announced subpoenas for several individuals including Bill and Hillary Clinton, former special counsel Robert Mueller, and former attorneys general Bill Barr, Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, and Jeff Sessions in what appears to be related to the Jeffery Epstein scandal. While depositions could be confined solely to Epstein-related issues over a three-decade period, committee members undoubtedly will raise Russiagate with the appropriate players including Hillary Clinton and Mueller. At the very least, the subpoenas signal an increasingly aggressive approach by House Republicans with more subpoenas expected to come.

Meanwhile, the corporate media—complicit in the wide-ranging conspiracy having acted not as journalists but instead as intelligence operatives as my good friend Lee Smith accurately describes them—is attempting to rewrite their own history in Russiagate in an effort to downplay the significance of the accelerating inquiries.

Let’s start with a segment on NBC News while keeping in mind the significant role played by the network’s “justice and intelligence reporter” Ken Dilanian, known on these pages as Fusion Ken, in promoting the hoax.
