The Establishment Attack on Trump
How the political establishment launched their frontal assault on Trump’s new administration

After the second assassination attempt of President Trump we’ve been witness to an immediate redoubling of verbal attacks from the Left. Any pretense of a pullback or softening of the dangerous rhetoric that’s encouraged violence against Trump is simply gone. The Left and the larger Establishment are terrified that Trump is going to win - and they’re willing to do anything to stop him. With our current politically toxic environment as a backdrop, we thought it might be worth revisiting the whirlwind of events that transpired in the final days of the Obama administration as they prepared for the unthinkable. A Trump Administration.
The Intelligence Community, the Obama administration and the political establishment never expected Trump to win in 2016. And when he did win, Obama and the intelligence community were suddenly faced with a very real problem. How do they properly cover up their actions leading up to the election?
For his part, Obama had to be deeply concerned that Trump would quickly find out exactly what vice-president Joe Biden had been up to in Ukraine - and immediately become aware that Joe was acting with the tacit approval of Obama in the process. The new Trump administration needed to be deeply wounded, hopefully fatally so. Attacked from all sides and placed on the defensive before it even began.
As it turns out, the timeline of actions by Obama and the intelligence community in January of 2017 tells that story. One of an establishment response to the very real threat that the young Trump administration presented to the corrupt, political structure of our nation. The attacks were coordinated and they were ferocious. It’s easy to forget from this vantage point, but in the first six months of the Trump administration there was a very real question if Trump would survive his first year. Trump had famously claimed that was going to “drain the swamp” but unfortunately for him the swamp was actually an ocean.
