The Swamp Is Growing Deeper

President Donald Trump won the presidency in 2016 with two simple promises: draining the swamp and building the wall. Last I looked, the wall isn’t being built, based on Friday evening’s Senate vote, and the swamp waters are rising. It seems that the D.C. swamp is growing deeper, and rapidly.
How does this bode for the president’s next two years and his potential re-election? If the swamp gets deeper between now and 2020, can he be re-elected? We are told to “trust the plan,” but where is that getting us?
Many of us still hang in there, because where else can we go? If not Trump, then who? The Republican bench is thin. The few making noises about running for president are themselves not at all different from any of the Democrats getting ready to challenge Trump in 2020. Names such as Jeff Flake, John Kasich, and Ben Sasse don’t inspire confidence.
Democrats are in far worse shape, with their leading contenders farther left than either Bill Clinton or Barack Obama, each striving to be the next Hugo Chávez.
Looking at the landscape before Christmas, I see a deepening swamp. Instead of draining, the water level is rising and, at its current rate, will soon be overflowing its banks.
Michael Flynn, illegally spied upon during the Trump transition, set up by the Comey FBI, then squeezed financially dry by Robert Mueller and his merry band of partisan lawyers, is the most recent swamp casualty. His biggest crime is being an early Trump-supporter, and for that reason alone he was set up for ruin.
As Gateway Pundit pointed out, “Mike Flynn and Tony Podesta did [the] same work for Turkey, both filed retroactively – Flynn’s life is in tatters as Podesta walks free.” So much for equal protection and the rule of law.
There are clearly two tiers of justice – one for the Trump circle and another for everyone else. There are those who are in the club, and those who are not.
There is not only General Flynn, but also Paul Manafort, on the hot seat for the crime of working for Donald Trump. “The Podesta Group somehow managed to file forms with the federal government retroactively that were 5 or more years overdue that Paul Manafort was charged for not filing,” Gateway Pundit wrote. Unequal justice once again.
Then there is Michael Cohen. He’s a New York City lawyer, a fixer, who also had the unfortunate luck of working for Donald Trump. Now he is headed to prison for three years. Granted, he didn’t pay his taxes, but does anyone believe that if Hillary Clinton were president now, the federal government would have any interest in Cohen, Manafort, or Flynn?
As the swamp waters rise, the drownings mount. These three are examples, guilty of the unforgivable Deep State crime of associating with Donald Trump. You see, it’s not only about stopping Trump; it’s about sending a message to anyone else in Trump’s orbit to disappear, lest he be next.
