From My Heart

     This last week we saw a leak of information that has stirred a great deal of fear as well as excitement around the Washington D.C. crowd. Oh, you did not hear a word about this story from the mainstream media! This story was not written about on the pages of the New York Times or the Washington Post. Instead, it came out from a few pages of the long-awaited Durham report. Durham is the Special Prosecutor appointed by Bill Barr to investigate the involvement of the Democrats in the obvious corruption Trump and his Administration faced. Durham’s report stated that when Donald Trump said his campaign and his Presidency was spied on by the Democrats, he was completely correct.

     It is amazing that whatever the Democrats are screaming about the loudest - that is what they have been doing themselves. It seems that Hillary Clinton was so desperate to win the 2016 election, she and her paid cronies, bought and paid for information from Russia that was completely fabricated and false. After Trump won the election in 2016, the Democrats and the media spent the next 4 years accusing the President of being in cahoots with Putin and the Russian government. He was even impeached TWICE by the House of Representatives using the falsehoods and lies from Clinton’s fabricated information.

     Hillary paid to have what became known as the “dirty dossier,” which was so off-the-wall outrageous, anyone with the IQ of a turtle could see it was totally fabricated. But the spying continued after the election and followed President Trump into the White House. It was a very elaborate scheme of the Democrats and the media to hurt President Trump and the American people.

     What they have been doing for the last many years is, in my opinion, TREASON. Spying on a sitting President - that to me - is treasonous behavior. One political pundit said, last Monday, that Mr. Durham is slowly peeling back the layers of this elaborate scheme to depose a sitting President of the United States! That is treason! Another pundit said this awful crime makes Watergate, under Nixon, look like a girl-scout campfire meeting.

     The question is, “Will anyone be held accountable for this treason?” “Will Hillary Clinton be arrested and charged in these crimes?” To be honest, I doubt those who financed and executed these crimes will be held to task. How about Adam Schiff, or Jerry Nadler, or Schumer, or Pelosi? Do not hold your breath! There is so much corruption in our government! How about Obama, Biden, and Hunter Biden? Again, don’t even get your hopes up! It is sad it has come to this “third world” thuggery and cheating in our great country!
