DeSantis to announce after failed endorsements & Durham report

After 18 months of pretending NOT to run for President - and traveling all over the world and the country pretending NOT to run for President - DeSantis will reportedly finally announce he’s running next week - from a big Republican donor lunch.

Remember the Martha Vineyard gimmick where DeSantis sent illegals there for the cameras? Well, we were billed for that. It’s all a charade.

STEPHEN MILLER: So I guess the rich open border leftists at Martha’s Vineyard sent their bill to you, the taxpayer, and Biden happily wrote the check in your name. It appears that Biden used the Emergency Food and Shelter Program (EFSP) to reimburse “Harbor Homes of Martha’s Vineyard,” for expenses incurred from housing the illegal aliens sent by Ron DeSantis to Martha’s Vineyard in September 2022.

BTW - not only has Elon Musk & Fox News & Jeb Bush endorsed DeSantis - the liberals at TIME Magazine just endorsed Ron DeSantis. Do you realize how we are all being played? The war-mongering, open borders Globalists in the Deep State have been laundering our money, rigging elections and assassinating leaders for years - both home & abroad - and Trump is the only one to fight back. That’s why they hate him.

What makes it even more interesting is that the gratuitous article written in Time Magazine was written by the same author who wrote the one that openly admitted how they rigged the 2020 election against President Trump!

Why now? Ron’s polling is crashing and it’s time for them to pretend Ron will rocket to the top once he tells people he’s running for President!

DeSantis just endorsed two candidates - one for Governor of Kentucky & one for Mayor of Jacksonville, Florida. THEY BOTH LOST. How’s that “Florida blueprint” going?

Murdoch & Fox News bankrolled DeSantis’ book and turned Fox in to the DeSantis News Network. You haven’t seen anything yet.

KARI LAKE: "Fox News is a Globalist network pushing a Globalist agenda. It's run by Globalists who want to bring down our Constitution and take away our 2nd amendment."

Well, I think that's pretty clear!

Sundance has wisely pointed out that DeSantis is using the same GOP establishment clothing & PR playbook that Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush & Ted Cruz used to try to con the American into voting for them. Jeans, cowboy boots, aviator glasses & grilling with the little people at the town fair.

DeSantis is even threatening his own legislature after many endorsed Trump!

There are five issues that I think would sink Ron DeSantis in the General:

1.) his love of globalist trade deals like NAFTA/TPP

2.) his big support of cutting Social Security and Medicare

3.) his 6 week abortion ban

4.) his ties to big donors & the GOP establishment

5.) his flip flopping on the Ukraine war

The atheists at Time Magazine love the left and the losers. Remember that Time Magazine declared that God was dead in 1965.

SUNDANCE: Ron DeSantis has no juice; and let this stand as a warning. DeSantis, in his short-sighted quest to fulfill his obligations to the Sea Island billionaires, is inevitably going to destroy Florida. Just like Scott Walker did to Wisconsin.

DESANTIS: You have basically three people at this point that are credible in this whole thing: Biden, Trump and me.

And I think of those three, two have a chance to get elected president — Biden and me.

Trump WAS somebody and people like his policies but they like MY policies & MY values. When we say we’re going to do something, we do it, and get it done.

I think the voters want to move on from Biden. They just want a vehicle they can get behind but there’s just too many voters that don’t view Trump as that vehicle.. I'm that vehicle.

DeSantis won’t even admit the 2020 election was rigged!

In 2015, Ron DeSantis co-founded the House Freedom Caucus with Mick Mulvaney, backed by the Koch Tea Party, and frequently appeared on Fox News. They drove out John Boehner & seated Paul Ryan as Speaker of the House. The rest is history.

Remember that Paul Ryan ran with Mitt Romney in 2012 for President and lost. Many believe they threw that race to Obama. Ryan & Pence (old pals) tried to destroy Trump in 2016 with the phony bus tape - they wanted to take over the ticket. They failed. Trump won anyway. Then Paul Ryan went on to obstruct President Trump's first two years in office.

Boehner called DeSantis and Ryan "anarchists" who want to burn down America.

Usually the Kochs run a 3rd party Libertarian or Independent candidate to split the conservative vote & elect a Democrat. That's how they choked Minnesota, Colorado, California, Washington State & Oregon blue.

This time they're backing DeSantis outright - who is a Globalist - a RINO in disguise. He voted with the Globalists every single time.

They want DeSantis to split the MAGA vote so another Democrat can take the White House. They know DeSantis will lose in the General and that's what they want.

The Kochs work with Soros and Murdoch to elect Democrats. Why? They are Globalists who could care less about America First - they want open borders & endless war. That's why Soros, Murdoch and the Kochs are backing DeSantis and the left is going along. They've been planning this a long time.

They count on you not knowing this. I know it. Now I'm telling you. It’s ALL connected.

UFC’s Colby Covington says he believes Ron DeSantis is controlled opposition and that Kari Lake would be a good pick for Trump’s VP.

He also called Lebron James a woman abuser for promoting a product that uses women from Chinese sweat shops.

ROGER STONE: Indisputable: Ron DeSantis is placing the management of state funds with managers who are contributing to his campaign.

If Ron DeSantis somehow wins the GOP primary and they run Michelle Obama against him - who will win? I'd love to hear your thoughts in comments.

Roger Stone, Newt Gingrich, Grant Stinchfield, Laura Loomer & Greg Kelly all think Michelle will run if push comes to shove. So do I.

BTW - this tweet from Glenn Youngkin certainly sounds presidential to me. It looks like the Deep state is going to throw everything against the wall against Trump - just like in 2016. Watch. All the GOP “handlers” are going to make a fortune.

Pence announced he might run, so did Christie and Youngkin looks like he's in also.

These are likely to be the candidates in the 2024 GOP primary.

President Trump

Ron DeSantis

Chris Christie

Brian Kemp

Mike Pence

Asa Hutchinson

Nikki Haley

Glenn Youngkin

Vivek Ramaswarmy

Larry Elder

Tim Scott

Chris Sununu

Doug Burgum

They're going to make a lot of money selling books and their handlers are going to make a lot of money charging fees.

To show you how hypocritical and slimy the GOP "pundit" class is in politics - this guy - John Cardillo - who is a friend of Steve Cortes & Matthew Tyrmand who are now all PAID DeSantis shills - said this about DeSantis a couple of years ago. THEY ALL HATED DESANTIS BEFORE. NOW THEY LOVE HIM.

They are ALL paid political whores. Do NOT believe anything they say! They all con you with the same anti-Trump talking points!

They count on you not remembering. I remember everything!

I saw this myself in Minnesota. I watched dozens of so-called "Libertarian independent thinkers" and "activists" and "election lawyers" in Minnesota politics lobby for guys like Gary Johnson and Justin Amash and Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina - only to turn around two years later and claim they had ALWAYS been with President Trump and MAGA.

They ALL lie. They ALL flip flop. They ALL say whatever they need to say to make money! Many of them sat in my living room and LIED RIGHT TO MY FACE.

TRUMP SPOKESPERSON: Youngkin is putting out aspirational videos, Pence & Sununu are straight up acknowledging interest in 2024.

There’s blood in the water, and all the no-shots who are satisfied with coming in second realize DeSantis is vulnerable for the coveted #2 spot. Nothing to lose for them, but what an embarrassment for RON!

Sadly, it means DIVIDING the Party, even when voters are ready to UNITE around President Trump. Why not take the fight to Joe Biden?! So selfish and short sighted.

Kellyanne Conway thinks Francis X. Suarez, 45, the Mayor of Miami, would be a good choice for Trump's VP. He was elected twice with roughly 80% of the vote.

In 2018, Suarez voted against DeSantis - although he is a Republican. Suarez does not like DeSantis and says he's all about playing politics. Suarez is currently serving as the president of the US Conference of Mayors for the 2022–2023 term.

I actually think that might be a good idea given the demographic make-up of America!

You all heard about Durham report FINALLY came out after the statute of limitations ran out. I won’t bore you with my take. Here are a few things you need to know:

TRUMP’S ATTORNEY: https://rumble.com/v2oecr2-the-durham-report-doesnt-go-far-enough.html

Sundance:

GLENN BECK: The Durham Report finally dropped and it’s everything you would expect from this government.

It ADMITS that the FBI acted without evidence. It CONCEDES that this is not the way it’s supposed to be done. It describes a weaponized arm of the government that set out to persecute a private American citizen. It involved the Director of the CIA, the FBI, the Obama Administration, the Clinton Campaign and the mainstream media.

No conspiracy charges - no nothing. Why would we expect different from Durham? He’s part of the system.

ROGER STONE: How John Durham Documented the Biggest Illegal Dirty Trick in U.S. History & Why No One Will Be Held Responsible

What did Mr. Durham know three days ago when he released his report, that he did not know prior to the November 8th, 2020 election?

Special Counsel John Durham's final report on the origins of the Russian collusion hoax (also known as Obamagate) document the single greatest dirty trick in the history of American politics and government; an abuse of power in which the full authority and extraordinary intelligence capabilities of the United States government were illicitly and illegally used to remove a duly elected President — Donald J. Trump — from office.

Contrary to the completely politicized and undocumented claims of the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee Report, as well as the feeble assertions of the Mueller investigation; neither the FBI or the CIA had any evidence whatsoever of collusion between any Russian entity and Donald Trump's campaign for President.

Importantly, Durham established that there was an Oval Office meeting that included President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, and Attorney General Loretta Lynch, in which the lack of any actual evidence of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign and Hillary Clinton's promulgation of this false narrative to the intelligence agencies, law enforcement, and the media, was established. This is precisely why this scandal is sometimes referred to as "Obamagate."

Specifically Durham's report says, "What the FBI knew from its intelligence collections as of early 2017. As the record reflects, as of early 2017, the FBI still did not possess any intelligence showing that anyone associated with the Trump campaign was in contact with Russian intelligence officers during the campaign.”

Indeed, based on declassified documents from early 2017, the FBI's own records show that reports published by The New York Times in February and March 2017 concerning what four unnamed current and former U.S. intelligence officials claimed about Trump campaign personnel being in touch with any Russian intelligence officers was untrue.

These unidentified sources reportedly stated that (i) U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted communications of members of Trump's campaign and other Trump associates that showed repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election; (ii) former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort had been one of the individuals picked up on the intercepted "calls;" and (iii) the intercepted communications between Trump associates and Russians had been initially captured by the NSA.

However, official FBI documentation reflects that all three of these highly concerning claims of Trump-related contacts with Russian intelligence were untrue. Indeed, in a contemporaneous critique of the Times article prepared by Peter Strzok, who was steeped in the details of Crossfire Hurricane, all three of the above-referenced allegations were explicitly refuted. Strzok's evaluation of the allegations included the following:

The FBI had not seen any evidence of any individuals affiliated with the Trump team in contact with Russian intelligence officers. He characterized this allegation as misleading and inaccurate as written. He noted that there had been some individuals in contact with Russians, both governmental and non-governmental, but none of these individuals had an affiliation with Russian intelligence. He also noted previous contact between Carter Page and a Russian intelligence officer, but this contact did not occur during Page's association with the Trump campaign.

The FBI had no information in its holdings, nor had it received any such information from other members of the Intelligence Community, that Paul Manafort had been a party to a call with any Russian government official. Strzok noted that the Intelligence Community had not provided the FBI with any such information even though the FBI had advised certain agencies of its interest in anything they might hold or collect regarding Manafort.

Regarding the allegation that the NSA initially captured these communications between Trump campaign officials and Trump associates and the Russians, Strzok repeated that if such communications had been collected by the NSA, the FBI was not aware of that fact."

As investigative reporter John Leake wrote in The Patriot Sentinel, "In other words, in its Russian-Collusion reporting, the New York Times published assertions from “four unnamed current and former U.S. intelligence officials” that were entirely false. Thus, the practice of using “unidentified sources”—a practice that was once heavily frowned upon by respectable journalists—enabled the commission of a giant deception that inflicted untold damage to our political system."

Even at that time (in early 2017) Leake wrote, "that it was possible to take down a sitting President of the United States by publishing the assertions of anonymous sources from within the state bureaucracy, then our government by elected officials was over, and our true masters were the unnamed intelligence officials.”

Federal officials, including CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein all knew that the so-called "Steele Dossier,” which alleged that Donald Trump had been entertained by “Russian prostitutes urinating on a bed once occupied by President Obama in a Moscow hotel suite,” were entirely unsubstantiated and false.

Nonetheless, these false allegations were used not only to rationalize the launch of the FBI's counterintelligence effort, "Crossfire Hurricane,” but also to justify the bogus FISA warrant which allowed the FBI to spy on Donald Trump, and members of his campaign, when he was President-elect, and, again, when he was President.

Strangely enough, Durham never investigated or addressed false allegations that the DNC computer servers were the target of an online hack by Russian intelligence operatives. The FBI actually admitted in my trial that they had never actually inspected the DNC computer servers, relying instead on the assertions of CrowdStrike, a Democrat forensic IT firm whose “report” alleged this act by “the Russians.”

Interestingly, the CrowdStrike report was withheld from my defense attorneys at trial— although CrowdStrike Chief Security Officer Shawn Henry, who conveniently happens to be a former deputy to FBI Director Robert Mueller, admitted under oath to the House Intelligence Committee that the report contained no proof whatsoever that the Russians hacked the DNC, obtaining the embarrassing chain of e-mails published by WikiLeaks.

Twitter owner Elon Musk recently revealed that the intelligence agencies had full access to all of the Direct Message data on Twitter, an egregious violation of the Fourth Amendment. This explains why I was contacted by a leftist news site regarding my brief exchange of messages on Twitter with an entity calling themselves "Guccifer 2.0."

My immediate reaction was to completely publicly release all of the exchanges which took place almost three months after WikiLeaks published the DNC and Clinton e-mails that were allegedly "hacked" from the Democratic National Committee. Based on the content, context and timing, these Twitter Direct Messages are entirely innocuous and certainly provide no evidence of collusion, collaboration, or any other crime. After my unconditional presidential pardon, Robert Mueller recycled this false narrative in an Op-Ed for The Washington Post in which he said that I was "in touch with Russian intelligence asset(s)."

While it is the assertion of both Special Counsel Mueller and CIA Director John Brennan that Guccifer 2.0 was a "Russian intelligence hacker" responsible for the "hacking" of the DNC, I believe that neither of these claims are proven. In fact, there is substantially more evidence that Guccifer 2.0 was a cutout for U.S. intelligence! Nonetheless, like birds jumping off a telephone wire, the fake news media widely reported that "Trump advisor Roger Stone admitted his contact with a Russian intelligence agent." Incredibly, this entire false narrative would be recycled almost two years later in the run-up to my trial, when it was leaked that the FBI had "discovered" these Direct Messages in their investigation of me. Once again, ignoring that I myself released the material and that the contents and timing were benign.

Bitter-enders in the fake news media who continue, even today, to recycle the false narrative that Robert Mueller's investigation and the Senate Intelligence Committee yielded evidence of Russian collusion with the Trump campaign and point to my conviction fail to note that the judge in my case approved a motion by the government prosecutors in which the government insisted that they were not required to prove Russian collusion in order to convict me of obstructing their investigation into Russian collusion! In fact, the Senate Intelligence Report is complete bunk.

Indeed, I was ultimately convicted of lying to Congress under oath in my voluntary testimony regarding “Russian collusion” which we now know, definitely, never took place. How can one lie about something that never happened?

The most troubling aspect of Mr. Durham's report is the simple question of timing. What did Mr. Durham know three days ago when he released his report, that he did not know prior to the November 8th 2020 election?

Why did Mr. Durham delay publication of his final report until he was certain that the 5-year statute of limitations under which Hillary Clinton and her aides, as well as the top intelligence and judiciary officials of the Obama and Trump Administration, could have been prosecuted for the crimes he documented?

Durham's revelations are not surprising to me. In fact, on November 3rd, 2020, Election Day, the busiest news day of the year, the U.S. Department of Justice was forced, by federal court order, to release the last remaining, heavily redacted and long-hidden sections of Robert Mueller's report, in which even he could not sugarcoat the fact that he had found "no factual evidence" of my involvement in Russian collusion, WikiLeaks collaboration, or any other crime.

In fact, any misstatement I made under oath was immaterial and hid no underlying crime, including either Russian collusion or WikiLeaks collaboration—although even Mueller admitted that if he had found evidence of my coordination with WikiLeaks, which he did not, those actions would not have been illegal.

In the two days since the release of Durham's report, I have been inundated by supporters and others urging me to sue those responsible for my malicious and vindictive prosecution.

Sadly, I don't have a lawsuit. As previously noted, the judge granted a motion at my trial that the government did not have to prove Russian collusion in order to convict me for obstructing their investigation of the “Russian collusion” that they knew did not exist. I have no legal recourse because of the clever and narrow way my indictment was structured. I made honest misstatements, but none of them were material or hid any underlying crime. The real purpose of my indictment was to pressure me into falsely testifying against President Trump by saying that some 26 documented phone calls between us in 2016 pertained to Russian collusion and the WikiLeaks disclosures. I refused to lie.

The government never established that I had any meaningful exchange with Julian Assange or WikiLeaks, nor that I had received any material from them and passed it on to the Trump campaign, or anyone else. The government ignored the fact that Julian Assange had announced that he would release material on Hillary Clinton in late October and pretended that my knowledge of this general fact was somehow a secret.

Government witness Randy Credico testified that he had never told me that the WikiLeaks disclosures would come in October and that they would be powerful and that he had learned this from a woman lawyer who worked for Assange. Credico lied but my lawyers failed to produce text messages from Credico, which confirms both claims. In other words, he perjured himself for Mueller leading to my conviction.

The saddest takeaway from this entire escapade is that Donald Trump was absolutely right about the Russian collusion hoax—but no one will be held accountable or prosecuted for their treasonous crimes. In the meantime, post-pardon, my wife and I are still harassed with 11 baseless, meritless, frivolous, but highly sensationalized civil lawsuits in an effort to further drag my name through the mud and generate tens of thousands of dollars in attorney fees for us.

BILL BARR: "I take away from it that it was a success in that Durham's purpose from the very beginning was to get to the truth. It was not launched as a criminal investigation. And people who compare it to the Mueller investigation are simply wrong."

"Durham has dug into it, and I think he's gotten as close to the bottom as anyone is going to get to this."

“This is one of the greatest injustices done to a presidential candidate and a president. And he was treated unfairly here. So, he is vindicated as far as Russiagate is concerned.”

“Let’s not forget what the lie was. The lie was Russiagate. The lie was, there was collusion. There was nothing to support it.”

"Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign launched a smear offensive based on finding Russian sources to undermine Trump by spreading false information to the FBI as well as the media."

"Both the press and the FBI abandoned any semblance of professionalism and took up the cause with a vengeance. And I think the real story here from the FBI's perspective is what an abomination this was, this so-called investigation. It wasn't a witch hunt, it's a damn good imitation of one."

"Trump deserves a lot of credit for what he accomplished. And this Russiagate was a grave injustice. And the fact that he was able to accomplish a lot in the face of it, I think was a great achievement.”

“Trump had great policies. He deserved a lot of credit for what he accomplished, and this was a grave injustice.”

"I think the Durham report helps him in the short term. I have other problems. I’m not supporting him for renomination, but he was right on this. And this is a vindication. He had it right from the beginning.”

"My own view is that he will not win the nomination. And I have nothing personal against him… But I just don't think he's the right leader for the Republican Party going forward. I think people who want to restore America should look for a big victory that brings strength into the Congress and allows us to achieve some fundamental changes. And I don't think he's capable of delivering that kind of victory."

"Trump has the best chance of losing to Biden of any of the Republicans running or who are likely to run, and even if he won Trump would wipe out Republicans in the Congress because of the vast turnout that would occur just to vote against him.”

WHATEVER BILL BARR SAYS ABOUT TRUMP’S CHANCES - YOU SHOULD BELIEVE THE OPPOSITE!

BRETT FAVRE: “I think our country was in better shape with President Trump."

"I think he was a non-political president, and I liked that about him. Was he perfect? Absolutely not. Am I perfect? Absolutely not. I’m flawed just like the rest of ’em. We’re all flawed. But I really felt like he had our country in a better place and really cared about our people in our country."

“Black, white, Hispanic, Asian — you name it. I think if you were an American citizen, he cared about you, first and foremost. I don’t know if our current president has the same mentality.”

Elon Musk who thinks every human being should be given a brain implant at birth so we can "compete" with AI - says he wants a "normal human being" for President -- after he voted for Obama, Hillary & Biden:

Musk said, “Do I believe Biden won? Yes, I believe he won.”

Host David Faber said, “You voted for him?”

Musk said, “I did.”

Faber said, “Do you regret that?”

Musk said, “I mean, man, I wish we could just have a normal human being as president. That’s what I want. If we, you know, there’s an old saying of, we’re better off being wronged by people picked at random from the phone book than the faculty of Harvard. I don’t know who said that, but it was somebody very wise. I would say, if we could do that for the president, that would be great.”

Faber said, “You think we could do that? Obviously, you’re not happy with Biden.”

Musk said, “Don’t we all just want a normal human being?”

He continued, “Some of these executive abilities are underrated. Since the president is the executive office of the country, it actually matters if they are the executive officer.”

Musk added, “It’s not simply a matter of do they share your beliefs but are they good at getting things done. There’s a lot of decisions that need to be made every day. Many of them are unrelated to moral beliefs. And you just want a good executive, the CEO of America.”

Trump was a great executive yet he says that Elon is a Globalist, a bullshit artist and he thinks Elon's electric cars and solar panels are way over rated and he refused to subsidize them. That's why Elon hates Trump. He knows Biden didn't win but he's saying that to please his CCP masters.

CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN: Musk is a huckster. He is totally compromised, intertwined with the Deep State here and not an American. He's like Schwarzenegger. Arnold fills his pot holes in the neighborhood of mansions but he's not going to fill yours. Arnold will clear the homeless encampment in Beverly Hills soon after it forms but he's not going to get them or the rest of that growing population into apartments and solve the problem.

All these Globalists are fine with Biden destroying America as long as they keep making money off her enemies and her fall. Remember that.
