Jerome Corsi, the old 2004 Swiftboater, is back with a new theory about how far the deep state will go to destroy Donald Trumps presidency. We bet you can guess what it is.

It is not difficult to conclude that we now have a conspiracy theorist as president of the United States. During Barack Obamas presidency Donald Trump promised to find proof that he was not born in the United States and claimed that he had sent people to Hawaii to find the evidence. If he really sent anyone, they never came back with the proof Trump expected. Then in March 2017, as president, he tweeted that Obama had ordered a wiretap on his phone at Trump Tower. That too was false.
Of late, Trump has engaged in several tweet storms claiming that a conspiracy by the Deep State exists and is doing all it can to delegitimize his presidency and get him removed from office. Trump believes the Deep State was instituted by John Brennan, Obamas CIA director, and includes all of the intelligence agencies. His latest claim is that before leaving office the Obama team planted an FBI spy in his campaign, tweeting a phrase his supporters would soon repeat: SPYGATE could be one of the biggest political scandals in history!
Contrary to being SPYGATE, it is becoming apparent that the FBI source (since exposed as academic Stefan Halper) was not put into Trumps campaign for political purposes but was part of a legitimate counterintelligence operation investigating Russias election interference in the U.S. elections and involved three of his campaign aides, Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, and Sam Clovis, whom Halper interviewed. Trump evidently believes that Halpers interviews were an attempt to entrap his advisers to plant evidence about Russian collusion.
All of this is to be expected, because this is Donald Trumps modus vivendi. What is more troubling, however, is that many intellectual Trump supporters are echoing the president and are making the same arguments. Roger Kimball, head of Encounter Books and editor of The New Criterion (for which I have written), argues like Trump that it was Brennan who put together a working group
to stymie Trumps campaign.

(65,076 posts)Just shocked that a guy known for making up stuff to put into his pathetically partisan "books" would have to be one to reveal this nefarious plot.
A few things, however:
1) How would he know what the CIA is planning? They're the deep state, after all, and wouldn't tell him.
2) How's that work going to prove Obama wasn't a US citizen? Just wondering
3) Has he gone to hang out with any Navy vets from the Vietnam era, because i bet lots of them would love to spend time with a guy who besmirched a war hero.

The all powerful liberal conspiracy is everywhere people. Check under your bed each night.
