Ball of Collusion: The Plot to Rig an Election and Destroy a Presidency

The real collusion in the 2016 election was between the Clinton campaign and the Obama administration, not between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. The media-Democrat "collusion narrative" was built on an anonymously sourced "dossier" and used to build a counterintelligence investigation against Trump's campaign. Despite Trump winning the election, his political opponents refused to accept the voters' decision and peddled the collusion narrative relentlessly. President Trump fought back, firing his FBI director and appointing a special counsel. However, concrete evidence of collusion failed to materialize, leading to a shift in the spotlight from Trump to his investigators and accusers. This has exposed the depth of politicization within American law-enforcement and intelligence agencies and raised questions about their ability to bring down President Trump.

The real collusion in the 2016 election was not between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin. It was between the Clinton campaign and the Obama administration.

The media-Democrat "collusion narrative," which paints Donald Trump as the puppet of Russia, is a carefully crafted illusion. Despite Hillary Clinton's commanding lead in the polls, hyper-partisan intelligence officials decided they needed an "insurance policy" against a Trump presidency. Thus, the collusion narrative was born, built on an anonymously sourced "dossier," secretly underwritten by the Clinton campaign and compiled by a former British spy. Although acknowledged to be "salacious and unverified" at the FBI's highest level, the dossier was used to build a counterintelligence investigation against Trump's campaign.

Miraculously, Trump won anyway. But his political opponents refused to accept the voters' decision. Their collusion narrative was now relentlessly peddled by political operatives, intelligence agents, Justice Department officials, and media ideologues—the vanguard of the "Trump Resistance." Through secret surveillance, high-level intelligence leaking, and relentless news coverage, the public was led to believe that Trump conspired with Russia to steal the election.

Not one to sit passively through an onslaught, President Trump fought back in his tumultuous way. Matters came to a head when he fired his FBI director, who had given explosive House testimony suggesting the president was a criminal suspect, despite privately assuring Trump otherwise. The resulting firestorm of partisan protest cowed the Justice Department to appoint a special counsel, whose seemingly limitless investigation bedeviled the administration for two years.

Yet, as months passed, concrete evidence of collusion failed to materialize. Was there a smoking gun? Was there a conspiracy? The answer, it seems, is no. The collusion narrative was a political construct designed to undermine the legitimacy of Trump's presidency. It was a failure of the media, intelligence agencies, and political establishment to accept the results of a democratic election. And it has had far-reaching consequences, damaging the credibility of both the media and the political system.
