I have been getting more hopeful over the last month (I noted it was a bad time to take a break 6 weeks ago, and just when I started getting back onto Steemit as a habit, the court case took more time than I anticipated).
The Summary
There are two competing scenarios to look at:
- The Obama Administration covered up crimes committed by Hillary Clinton while she was Secretary of State in that administration. These crimes included mishandling of classified data, bribery, misuse of office, destroying evidence, and conspiracy to cover these crimes up. Specific actions involved selling American uranium to the Russian government, and selling classified data to foreign agencies. Individuals at the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI were in alliance with Obama and Clinton, and misused the powers of their office to "clear" Clinton; during the efforts to hide these crimes, these individuals ALSO illegally spied on the Trump campaign. After the election, these individuals have conspired to obstruct justice as well as to commit sedition against the United States government and the office of President Trump. The majority of these individuals also have open conflict of interest issues with their various connections to Clinton. The media, long viewed as a mouthpiece for liberal narrative, has actively colluded in this effort with "Fake News" and such vehicles as Fusion GPS and ShareBlue. The individuals may be part of a "Deep State", which may e an alliance of leftist and globalist influence.
-OR-
- Trump colluded with the Russians to "steal" the office of President. His reward was having Russian prostitutes pee on him (according to Fusion GPS). The obnoxious policies of the Obama Administration (and Clinton's participation in those policies), and the obvious failures of those policies, had absolutely nothing to do with this rebuke of the Democrat Party. People who lost their jobs due to Democrat policy logically SHOULD have voted for the Democrats, in order to reap the continued benefits of being called racist for the crime of being white. Trump has obstructed justice by firing FBI Director Comey, despite the loud cries of the liberal establishment to do just that.
The question of justice
Trump promised to drain the swamp as part of his campaign. The appearance is that nothing has been done in this area, and for those that accept the first scenario laid out above, the actions of Special Counsel Robert Mueller have been nothing more than kabuki theatre and a spit in the face to American justice.
However...
There are those that make the argument that the Special Counsel Investigation is a trap for the Deep State, orchestrated by Trump and the national security officers he has appointed (primarily Marine Corps generals and military intelligence professionals). Part of this argument includes the possibility that Mueller may actually be working for Trump and justice.
The best argumentation for this view has been laid out in great detail at Dystopiausa; the latest post (and supporting links to the underlying premises) is The Storm, Week 8: Greeks Bearing Gifts.
Another argument was laid out in the "Q" posts on the 4chan /pol board.
“The Book of Q”
These threads were overrun by shills, trolls, and LARPers, from the beginning, and have since moved to 8chan. Much of what was contributed at a later time was junk...even so, the initial questions that Q asked were pretty on spot, so even if Q was a fraud from the beginning, the information exposure he started was worth tracking down.
At some point, I will have to do a post on Putting on your hip boots and wading through /pol; in the meantime, be advised that you can find nuggets of gold if you are willing to do the work of looking for them.

The last two posts may be due to a reposting shortly - Has Trump been trumped by the Deep State?
my thoughts from 3 months ago -There are arguments that Trump needs time to build his own networks, gather evidence, and to "prep the battlefield" for his own actions.
Maybe so. I have seen no evidence that he is doing so. It is possible that he has been building a Shadow Government of his own. If he is doing this, a sudden rollup of everyone in the treason/corruption network would be his end game.

28 CFR 45.2 - Disqualification arising from personal or political relationship.
§ 45.2 Disqualification arising from personal or political relationship.
(a) Unless authorized under paragraph (b) of this section, no employee shall participate in a criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with:
(1) Any person or organization substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution; or
(2) Any person or organization which he knows has a specific and substantial interest that would be directly affected by the outcome of the investigation or prosecution.
Let's take a look at some recent developments
There has been a lot of movement for those of that hope for justice.
- A DOJ Inspector General (IG) investigation into improper FBI actions during the Clinton investigation has been ongoing since January 2017.
- The judge that accepted General Flynn's guilty plea recused himself (after the fact) for his conflict of interest in the case. Funny how that term, conflict of interest, keeps showing up in regards to the Clinton campain, the Obama Administration, and Mueller's Special Counsel Investigation.
- The exposure of Bruce Ohr, the DOJ appointee who wife worked for Fusion GPS
Ohr knew Steele and had repeated contacts with Steele when Steele was working on the dossier. Ohr also met after the election with Glenn Simpson, head of Fusion GPS, the opposition research company that was paid by the Clinton campaign to compile the dossier...
Author of the Phony Trump "Dossier" Was In Direct Contact With Obama's Justice Dept
- A re-emphasis on the investigation into leaks by the Special Counsel's office initiated by Attorney General Sessions in June 2017
- The firing of Peter Strzok from the Special Counsel's office for bias.
Strzok violated FBI policy in questioning Clinton
Strzok directed the investigation of Clinton's email server
Strzok fabricated information - Ex-FBI Assistant Director - "Belongs In Leavenworth"
Released emails demonstrated Strzok's intent to commit sedition (exchanged with Lisa Page, a DOJ lawyer Strzok was having an extra-marital affair with)
Lisa Page was also a member of Mueller's staff - Aaron Zebley, another member of Mueller's staff,represented Justin Cooper, a Clinton associate that destroyed evidence in the Clinton case.
- Also see this timeline involving FBI action regarding Fusion GPS
It is coming to a head
Mueller's investigation should be closing in the next month or so; Mueller done with White House interviews, probe will be done within 'a few weeks'.
That's funny, because that is also the timeline that the IG report is running on. Coincidence?
We'll see then which way things go.
Things will get violent
Either way, things will move towards violence:
- If the Left/Globalist alliance is hurt critically, they will unleash their street mobs. Even if the leaders tried to stop this to prevent additional judicial retribution, the bulk of the street front groups is composed of irrational leftist thugs.
- If justice is denied to the American people, people who have placed their hopes on one last chance for republic to work will look at other options. These people include hunters, LE officers, active duty military, and veterans. The last two classes understand and have experience in fighting insurgency based war, and they understand decapitation strategy.
