IS AN OVERTHROW OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT IN PROGRESS?

The question in that title is not a joke.  I wish it was, but it isn’t.

From Matt Apuzzo’s article in the (Trump-hating, let’s remember) New York Times – and please pay special attention to the parts I’ve put in bold print:

The F.B.I. on Monday raided the office of President Trump’s longtime personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, seizing records related to several topics including payments to a pornographic-film actress.

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan obtained the search warrant after receiving a referral from the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, according to Mr. Cohen’s lawyer, who called the search “completely inappropriate and unnecessary.” The search does not appear to be directly related to Mr. Mueller’s investigation, but likely resulted from information he had uncovered and gave to prosecutors in New York.

“Today the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York executed a series of search warrants and seized the privileged communications between my client, Michael Cohen, and his clients,” said Stephen Ryan, his lawyer. “I have been advised by federal prosecutors that the New York action is, in part, a referral by the Office of Special Counsel, Robert Mueller.”

Has my reading comprehension gone south, or does that say, in so many words, that the FBI got a search warrant based on a referral by Mueller….but the search is not directly related to Mueller’s investigation?

Who the HELL does this man think he is?  Who died and left him carte blanche to go after people for reasons which are not related to what he’s supposed to be investigating?

Are mueller and his band of Democrat-donors posing as “neutral” staff so exasperated by the fact that, after a year, they have NOTHING on Trump, that this is what they’re doing with their time?

Look, I did not support Donald Trump in 2016, did not vote for him, and have criticized him repeatedly in this blog.  But what we are seeing here is little short of an attempt to overthrow the 2016 election by any means necessary, in any way necessary, regardless of whether it has any moral or ethical basis.

Trust me on this, because I mean it 100%:  I would be saying the same words if Hillary Clinton rather than Donald Trump had become President.

What we may well be seeing here is the deep-state, in panic mode because Trump’s existence damaged it and his efforts since becoming President are directed at finishing the job, trying to take him out.

I would love to believe there is no way the United States would have a second civil war.  But when I see what is taking place – not behind closed doors but in our faces – I seriously wonder if it’s possible.

This has to end.
