James Baker said in a podcast yesterday that they were concerned that Comey may have been “blackmailing” Trump using the “Steele” Dossier. Do you think Jim? DUH. I have said here repeatedly, and in my book that was my suspicion, well I am suspicious no more, I am RIGHT. Baker is “revealing” this little tid bit NOW to help save his neck. SO, one last lime….
In a word YES, there was blackmail by Comey, and I have written as much repeatedly. Recall that Comey met with Trump not only on Jan 6th as Baker claims, but ALSO on Jan 27 2017, 7 days AFTER Trump was inaugurated and 17 days after the Dossier was published by BuzzFeed. Now as I said before, WHAT was Comey doing meeting ALONE in the White House, with the new President, and supposedly “briefing” him on a dossier that had JUST BEEN released by BuzzFeed. (if Baker is right, this was a SECOND briefing on the SAME subject)
If as Baker suggested, Comey ALSO met with Trump on the 6th of January BEFORE the Dossier was released on Jan 10th, then there is NO doubt now that my original suspicions were correct it WAS blackmail using the threat of releasing the made up dossier to try and get Trump to resign. The Jan 6th meeting was the THREAT that if Trump did not resign, the Dossier would be released, Trump obviously did not, and 4 days later BuzzFeed published the dossier to the world.
My bet is that then the Jan 27th meeting was a follow up to try and provide MORE pressure on Trump, now inaugurated to resign, or there would be more “consequences”. What were those consequences? Flynn was targeted after 3 weeks on the job, set up in a “lie” and obstinately removed (Trump was forced to fire him for the “lie” on Pence) . Then, Comey met with Trump AGAIN alone on Feb 14th to try a THIRD time to get Trump to resign, or there would be MORE consequences. Trump obviously said no again. This time the consequence was Jeff Sessions being set up by his normal Kislyak meetings BEFORE the election while Sessions was still on the Armed services committee. Sessions was forced to recuse a few days later after narrowly being confirmed as AG. So, the Cabal had made three threats, and they all failed, so Trump was “punished” . First they embarrassed him with the Dossier, then they removed two key allies who could have helped Trump STOP this whole mess.
The Cabal tried one more time to blackmail Trump. It came AFTER Trump retaliated to the Flynn and Sessions hits, Remember that Trump FIRED Sally Yates for refusing to enforce the travel ban. Well, Yates was ALSO the point person on the Flynn take down, running to Don McGahn to tell of Flynn’s “lie”, which lead to his firing. Retaliation number two was Comey himself. It was said that it was because of Comey’s failure in the Hillary Email scandal, and that was what was written by RR and Sessions, but in my book it was for the blackmail and Sessions hits.
The third and final blackmail was when Mueller met Trump several days AFTER Comey was fired, and BEFORE he was made Special Counsel by Rosenstein. It was supposedly to “interview” for the open Comey FBI director position, but that NEVER held water with me, Mueller had ALREADY exceeded his term under Obama, and had to have a special vote in Congress to continue back then. Why would he be back a THIRD time. No, my friends, this was the “resign or we will unleash hell on you” last ditch blackmail to get Trump to resign. When Trump did not, we got the 2 and a half years of BS we all just went through. When Mueller could not prove or produce Collusion, he tried obstruction.
It might have worked to, had McCabe not have gotten “scared of the noose” and gave up the Rosenstein’s wire and 25th amendment plot after Mueller was flailing. I believe THAT single act allowed Trump to remove Sessions without consequence, AND to have Whitaker take control of Mueller and then “flip” Rosensten to Trump’s side. It gave Trump enough time to get Barr in place and he utilized Durham,Huber, and Horrowitz which Sessions had PUT in place, BUT, could NEVER utilize. Barr now has ALL the previous Huber, Horrowitz, and Durham info, and he is getting ready to INDICT the entire Cabal, that is the reason Barr was attacked, and that is the reason for all the PANIC. Showtime folks.
