Bureaucracy

A brief history of politics since 2015 exposes the power of the bureaucracy. In the run up to the 2016 election the FBI received a warrant from the FISA court to spy on Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page which opened the door for them to spy on all of Trump's people. They used false information from the Steele dossier to set up the Trump/Russia collusion and then fed leaks to the New York Times who in turn published the false information. Once the Times got on board the rest of the main stream press joined in. This led to an investigation by a special prosecutor and was the main political story for the rest of the campaign and for most of the Trump presidency. Then comes the 2020 election and once again the bureaucracy flexes its muscles. The information from the Hunter Biden laptop was suppressed by the FBI and when it leaked out in the New York Post the FBI countered by saying it was Russian disinformation and once again this led to a special counsel investigation which proved that the so called disinformation was in fact true. In the 2016 affair the NY Times and Washington Post both received Pulitzer Prizes and they have since admitted they were wrong. In the 2020 affair they all admit they were wrong but no apologies are forth coming. The reason the press is not interested in trying to find out how the bureaucracy was able to pull this off is because they were complicit. Now the 2024 election is upon us and the bureaucracy is pushing the January 6 riots in an attempted to incarcerate Trump. The power is so ingrained in the bureaucracy that it will be next to impossible for anyone to challenge them since they have secret dirt on most people in Washington. Senator Schumer, who has been a Washington insider for 40 years said it best. New Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Tuesday that President-elect Donald Trump is “being really dumb” by taking on the intelligence community and its assessments on Russia’s cyber activities.“Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Schumer told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. If Trump is reelected he will once again try to reign in the power of the bureaucracy but he will need a lot of help to start the process but it will take further presidents to follow up.
