Deep Throat--Please!

It is time for the Democrats to stop being babies.  There is too much at stake.

SCROTUS (Stupid Creepy Ruler of the US{thank you Kaylie Davis!}) has decided in his hypocratic wisdom to reject the Democratic ‘memo’, that refutes point by point with actual facts, the half truths and deceptions of the Nunes ‘memo’.  Pontificating that there would be heavy redaction necessary, he sent it back to the House Intelligence Committee for revision so as not to release potentially secret information which would prove the Nunes memo a political fabrication.  What a crock!

It is no surprise that SCROTUS is going to play politics with the dueling memos.  His only mission is protecting himself and derailing the Russia investigation.

This is just the latest example of the political hypocrisy we see almost every day.  Well, the time has come for the resistance to find its own ‘Deep Throat’.  For those of you too young to remember, Deep Throat was the secret informant who provided information in 1972 to Bob Woodward, who shared it with Carl Bernstein. Woodward and Bernstein were reporters for The Washington Post, and Deep Throat provided key details about the involvement of U.S. President Richard Nixon's administration in what came to be known as the Watergate scandal.

The only way the American Public is going to get the actual truth about anything going on in this administration is for the Democrats to ‘find’ their own secret informant who has the power to release or leak the real relevant facts that Trump and the administration are trying to hide or lie about.  Since anything else we are going to learn is going to be labeled ‘fake news’ by the increasingly odious Republican majority, there really is no other way until the midterm elections to uncover the true nature of the deterioration of our democracy.  

The New York Times has filed a motion asking the FISA court to unseal all materials related to the wiretap of Carter Page.  The Republican  ‘memo’s main ‘so called’ revelation was that the FBI showed bias in not letting the FISA court know that the Steele Dossier was used as the primary source justifying the seeking of the surveillance warrant on Page. 

After it was revealed that the FBI, in fact, told the court that the source of some of the information was politically motivated, Nunes was forced to admit there were other sources that were used to justify the warrant, namely the information about George Papadopolous’s overheard drunken musings in a London tavern, and years of suspicion by the FBI owing to Page’s coziness with the Russians.

Perhaps it is time for a Deep Throat to emerge to release those FISA materials, or to provide some similar supporting facts that will make these Republican Trumpists bleed ‘egg’ all over their faces.  I sure wish the Mueller investigation could provide some support and discovery, but while we are waiting for Godot, we need some additional support.

It is going to be a long arduous slide toward the midterm elections, and the first opportunity we as a nation will have to fix this mess we’ve gotten ourselves into.  Unless we start fighting like our existence depends on our ability to vanquish this cancer on our democracy, we are destined to lose our republic.
