The irony of the entire Russian collusion hoax is that accusers who cried the loudest about leaking, collusion, lying, and obstruction are themselves soon very likely to be accused of just those crimes. Now that Robert Mueller’s 674-day, $30 million investigation is over and has failed to find the original goal of its mandate—evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government to sway the 2016 election—and now that thousands of once-sealed government documents will likely be released in unredacted form, those who eagerly assumed the role of the hunters may become the hunted, due

I admit I enjoy it more when my team is at bat rather than playing defense.
Now, lets start putting some numbers up on the scoreboard.

Excellent article! Great timeline and right on target with the names of those involved in this attempted coup. I hope they all get the Book thrown at them. I wish Trump would pull the Security clearances of ALL of those involved. It´s way past time to do that!

"those who eagerly assumed the role of the hunters may become the hunted"
Hunted by WHO?
"The motives of these bad actors are diverse, but they share a common denominator. As Washington politicos and administrative state careerists, all of them believed that Donald Trump was so abhorrent that he should be prevented from winning the 2016 election."
So they all spontaneously got together to act in unison? It was a "headless" coup?
"causing so much media chaos and political havoc that their own crimes and misdemeanors would be forgotten by becoming submerged amid years of scandal, conspiracies, and media sensationalism."
We know who they are.
We have a pretty good idea of what they did.
It´s been called the biggest political scandal EVER.
WHO is going to do something about it, besides talk?
WHO is going to nail down the information and convert it into criminal or ethical charges or at least a report condemning their actions?
WHO is going to propose meaningful changes?
WHO is going to enact those changes?
WHO is going to EXECUTE all these necessary corrective actions?
The time for jabbering is done. Action is required.

Are the unelected people at the levers of our government incredibly stupid, colossally arrogant, or just too damn cocksure of themselves?
Look up the name ´Democratic Party´ sometime.

These people need to sit for a very long time in a very hot stew pot. Those presently in high admin positions need to watch very closely the results of illegally overbetting your hand.

Nice effort by Victor - - but - -

Victor has a way of putting things together so even a dummy like me can understand. Thanks Victor, excellent analysis.

FTA: Rod Rosenstein never should have been appointed acting attorney general in charge of oversight of the Mueller investigation. He knew Mueller well. In circular fashion, he had drafted the rationale to fire Comey that had prompted the Mueller’s appointment. He had signed off on a FISA warrant request without apprising the court of the true nature of the Steele dossier’s origins and nature. He had met shortly before the Mueller appointment with acting FBI director Andrew McCabe to investigate the chance of removing Trump under a distortion of the 25th Amendment. So, in essence, Rosenstein had been one of the catalysts for McCabe to investigate removing Trump for his own part in the removal of Comey and then in Orwellian fashion joined McCabe’s efforts.
Superb summary of the enormous scandals committed by and for Obama and Hillary. But article begs question as to why Rod Rosenstein is still a senior DoJ official? Same with Bruce Ohr, who distributed his wife’s smear of Trump to the DoJ, FBI and CIA so that the Dossier could both support the perjurious FISA warrant requests and be leaked to news media.
One can only hope that President Trump has VDH read this article to AG Barr at the WH so that Barr cannot recuse himself from prosecuting Obama, Hillary, Rice, Powers, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Lynch, McCabe and 2 dozen others.

Common sense and human nature dictate that it is going to be much worse the next time around if such DC bureaucratic and political corruption is not corrected through the criminal justice processes.

I wonder at what point they will realize that they demanded the release of the document that will cause their demise. I hope there is a camera there to record the faces of Nancy and Chuck. (Nancy is always wanting to get something done that she has not read.)

#3 asks some interesting questions. The answer is likely "Nobody" in the guise of Lindsey Graham.
This is a Uniparty production. There are scads of fingerprints all over this, and don´t doubt that GOPe leadership wasn´t helpful. They didn´t want PDT to assume office, either. Any attempt to truly expose the truth will cause multiple houses of political and big money cards to collapse. That ain´t gonna happen.
The GOPe threw the 2018 House to the Dems for one reason: To allow the Dems to "impeach" Trump, to at least drive him from the race in 2020. And that effort is still alive and ongoing...Nadler and Commings are just warming up. Wait for opening day of election season after Labor Day.
Of course, there is always hope in those 82,000 sealed indictments...

I am trusting that Trump and AG Barr have the guts to pursue these very bad characters all the way to the gallows. Brennen, I would hang.

President Trump and We the People have been on slow burn by these crooks for over two years.
Now maybe the President can unleash on the bad actors and all roads will lead to Obama and Hillary Clinton. Time will take care of them but the conspirators need to be jerked around like the President and innocent people were in this witch hunt. Mueller and Rosenstein should be included in this.
Like one poster said if this isn´t corrected now the next time will be worse maybe even gunfire between factions fighting for power at the top. These people are not elected they just snatched power and sat on it and wanted to negate a duly elected President so their queen could sit on the throne. Remember the so called ´insurance policy´ they bragged about? What was that could it have gone as far as assassination who know but that is some dangerous words.
Lock them up.

The people at the heart of the coup all have one thing in common, they are flipping communists. Or socialists which of course Marx told us was the coerced collectivism prerequisite that would naturally progress into voluntary communism.
Did you know Comey flirted with communism and once suggested that we should unilaterally surrender to the USSR? Did he have a pivot point or did he learn that he needed to keep his true beliefs in the shadows.
Obama, Hillary, Nellie Ohr, Brennan, Steele, all Marxists.
The communists have taken another swing at us and failed. What are we going to do about it?
This isn´t just some conspiracy theory or overreaction, we are inundated with people at the highest levels of government down to our next door neighbors who don´t want us to have liberty, don´t believe in unalienable rights, and think we should embark on the path that has been the greatest plague to have ever been inflicted on humanity.

Excellent summary of the lying liars. Things are looking so much brighter than they did two years ago when the President was facing a new revelation each week and battling them all. They didn´t realize that they were abusing Clark Kent who had just beaten down the shadow government of The Joker and had The Medusa in screaming fits.

From a commenter on Powerline:
Meanwhile, my Twitter feed shows Valerie Jarrett enjoying herself at a party thrown by Lyft, where she sits on the board, and celebrating the launch of a new book.
Turn the US government into a version of the Stasi and reap fame and fortune.
Will this be how it ends?
———————
Obama has a $50 million dollar movie deal with Netflix. Fired DoJ senior attorney who signed false FISAs, Sally Yates, has a lucrative position with an Atlanta law firm. Hillary is still receiving standing ovations and Comey is worshipped by liberals as he promotes his book. Meanwhile, Roger Stone is under a gag order, Micheal Flynn is awaiting sentencing and Carter Page and George Papadopoulus are unemployed. And not one Obama or Hillary official has been indicted.

I read and then re-read the article, and enjoyed it both times. But I never saw any mention of that smirking FBI miscreant, Peter Strzok! His was the email to Page that said they had an insurance policy.

Another that goes unmentioned is Jeff Sessions. I find it very difficult to believe that he is clean in all this sordid scheme.

It seemed people´s hands were tied as long as the Mueller investigation was on-going, so we were told over and over again.
Now, it will be interesting if anything truly does get done, or anyone is jailed, disbarred, or some sort of thing except being demoted (still holds a government job with access), and only 1 was actually fired, Strzok, I believe.
It´s hopeful that AG, Barr, has more integrity and truly wants to get to the bottom of all of this, but I´m not holding out too much hope.

Hunt them down, arrest them, convict them and let them rot in prison.
In more forthright times, they would have been shot for treason, and I am comfortable with that, but, unfortunately, I doubt that this will happen.

What I think has happened with Mueller is as he was turning over every leaf he started to see become aware the Dem´s were involved in collusion filling in the blanks. Like the DNC and the FBI,DOJ,CIA,NSA and the State Dept., it was their involvement with the Russians. Don´t forget Mueller got a hint when he had to relieve Page & Strzok from the investigation, something didn´t smell right.
