Today’s paragraphs come to us from Roger L. Simon, writing for pjmedia.com.
In his latest commentary, Mr. Simon excoriates Democrats for the lies – outright, blatant lies – they have fed us about the FISA memo…and speculates on why they are so fearful about what might come next.
See for yourself:
Adam Schiff, Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, among seemingly dozens of Democrats, not to mention half the mainstream media, had been warning us for days that the release of the memo authored by Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee would place our national security at grave risk. “Sources and methods” would be revealed.
Now that we have seen the memo, it’s clear that was an absolutely bald-faced lie of the most obvious sort. Nothing in it impacts national security in the slightest. There’s no mention whatsoever of any “sources and methods.”
Unless they were lobotomized, those Democrats and their dependable PR team (aka the media) must have realized they were blatantly lying to the American public. Evidently, they didn’t care. How’re we now supposed to trust what these people say about anything? Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus.
Their latest meme is “cherry picking.” The memo was cherry-picked and therefore to be ignored. That’s like saying a murderer who has a clean driving record and is a good cook is not a murderer. Whatever else happened, the FBI clearly used a slanderous fictional document to get a FISA ruling to surveil Carter Page without telling the court the document was a pack of lies paid for by the Clinton campaign and written by a creepy spy with old-line Soviet connections. And they did it multiple times.
So what was up here below the surface? It can’t just be the “evil party” trying to live up to its nickname, although that certainly happened.
It seems this particular lie was a last line of defense — for now — against a coming potential Armageddon for their party. This memo, bad as it is, is apparently only the first of many, a small percentage of what is to come. And the Democrats know it.
These are strong, powerful words. And, sad to say, they ring true – very much including the likelihood that these liars correctly perceive this memo to be the tip of the iceberg.
What further disclosures will there be about how corrupt the election process was in 2016? Which Democrats, in cahoots with operatives at the FBI and DOJ, participated in the corruption? How far will mainstream media go to deflect, dissuade and otherwise cover this up before they can’t do it anymore?
Roger L. Simon wins Paragraphs Of The Day honors for reminding us that the FISA memo, damning though it is, might well be the prologue to a great deal more – none of it good for Democrats and none of it good for the country.
If they would conspire to steal the primary election from a member of their party why wouldn’t they do the same to the candidate in the general election???
