Every time President Trump scores a
great success. such as his address to a joint session of Congress, his trip to
Saudi Arabia and Israel, or his recent speech in Poland, another damaging leak
lands on the front page of The New York Times or the Washington
Post. Is this a coincidence?
Not according to my sources in
Washington. They tell me that Trump's enemies in the Deep State, mostly Obama
holdovers and Hillary supporters in the bureaucracy, have been saving up the
leaks and timing them in a deliberate effort to upstage the president.
This time around, the leak was about
Trump's oldest son Donald Jr. According to a front-page story in The
Times, the younger Trump met with a Russian lawyer who promised to give him
damaging information on Hillary.
The Times naturally interpreted
the meeting as an example of collusion between the Trump campaign and the
Kremlin. Nonsense, say members of President
Trump's legal team. The meeting had all the markings of a set-up.
It appears to have been arranged by
Fusion GPS, an American firm retained by Hillary's campaign to develop
opposition research on Trump. Fusion GPS was behind the now-discredited dossier
concocted by a British intelligence agent to smear Trump.
In any case, the leak dominated the
media's coverage of Trump's speech in Warsaw, where he received a rapturous
welcome and talked about God and family and the value of Western civilization
Trump's critics on the Left took him
to task for his emphasis on Western civilization. They complained it reminded
them of a time when the West held sway over lesser peoples around the world.
I guess they think it's more
"civilized" to indulge in illegal leaks that harm our political
system and damage our national security.
