Trump on Ukraine Invasion: ‘This Is Something That Should Have Never Happened’

Wednesday, on the heels of reports that Russia had launched a “full-scale invasion” of Ukraine, former President Donald Trump proclaimed Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have acted in this way under his leadership. . .

“This is something that should have never happened,” he said. “This would not have happened during my administration. In fact, some people were saying, why didn’t this take place over the past four years during my administration? And it didn’t for a very good reason. I’ll explain that to you someday. But it wouldn’t have taken place, and it wouldn’t have taken place right now. It’s a very sad thing for the world, the country, and it is certainly sad for a lot of people that are going to be needlessly killed.” (Read more from “Trump on Ukraine Invasion: ‘This Is Something That Should Have Never Happened’” HERE)

Trump: China ‘Absolutely’ Going to Take Taiwan With Biden in Office; Tulsi Gabbard: ‘Sanctions Don’t Work’ — They Only Punish the American People

By Daily Wire. Former President Donald Trump warned during an interview on Tuesday that China was going to take over Taiwan after watching Russia invade Ukraine, something that he said would not have happened on his watch.

During an appearance on “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show” at his Mar-a-Lago estate, Trump responded to the latest news about Russia moving forces into separatist regions of Ukraine that Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized as “independent” on Monday. In response to the latest provocations from Russia, NATO announced that it had placed more than 100 fighter jets on high alert and that other forces were being mobilized to protect member states of NATO from Russian aggression.

“By the way, this never would have happened with us. Had I been in office, not even thinkable. This would never have happened,” Trump said. “But [Putin] says, you know, ‘I’m gonna declare a big portion of Ukraine independent,’ he used the word ‘independent,’ ‘and we’re gonna go out and we’re gonna go in and we’re gonna help keep peace.’ You gotta say that’s pretty savvy. And you know what the response was from Biden? There was no response. They didn’t have one for that. No, it’s very sad. Very sad.”

“I think [Putin] sees this opportunity,” Trump later added. “I knew that he always wanted Ukraine. I used to talk to him about it. I said, ‘You can’t do it. You’re not gonna do it.’ But I could see that he wanted it. I used to ask him. We used to talk about it at length. I think nobody probably knows him better in terms of the discussions that we have or that we’re having this morning. So I knew him very well. I got to know him. I got to know President Xi. By the way, China is gonna be next. You know, China is gonna —” (Read more from “Trump: China ‘Absolutely’ Going to Take Taiwan With Biden in Office, Would Not Have Happened Under Me” HERE)

Tulsi Gabbard: ‘Sanctions Don’t Work’ — They Only Punish the American People

By Breitbart. Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) said Tuesday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that sanctions against Russia for invading Ukraine would not work.

Gabbard said, “The reality is the sanctions don’t work, whether put in before or now or later, the sanctions don’t work. What we do know is they will increase suffering and hardship for the American people. This is the whole problem with the Biden administration. They are so focused on how do we punish Putin that they don’t care, and they are not focused on what is actually in the best interest of the American people. So when Biden stands there and looks directly into the camera and says defending freedom will cost us, what he really should be stating is looking directly into the American people’s eyes and saying, ‘This will cost you.’[”] (Read more from “Tulsi Gabbard: ‘Sanctions Don’t Work’ — They Only Punish the American People” HERE)

Trump Pounces: Biden’s ‘Weak Sanctions Insignificant’

Former President Donald Trump slammed President Joe Biden on Tuesday for imposing “weak sanctions” on Russia while allowing it to become “very very rich” with “tripling and quadrupling” oil prices.

“Russia has become very very rich during the Biden Administration, with oil prices doubling and soon to be tripling and quadrupling. The weak sanctions are insignificant relative to taking over a country and a massive piece of strategically located land,” Trump said in a statement.

“Now it has begun, oil prices are going higher and higher, and Putin is not only getting what he always wanted, but getting, because of the oil and gas surge, richer and richer,” Trump continued about the high prices Americans are paying at the pump.

Durham Report Proves Hillary Clinton — Not Trump — Was Putin’s Puppet; Media Turns From Ignoring Durham Evidence to Pretending to Rebut It; Hillary Clinton Screamed At, Called Names Ahead of New York Democratic Committee Speech

By New York Post. Since 2016, Hillary Clinton has been trolling Donald Trump on social media over his alleged ties to Russia, calling him “Putin’s Puppet.” But Special Counsel John Durham’s probe has uncovered the truth about who was Putin’s Puppet. It was Clinton herself.

She and the Obama-Biden administration spy agency chiefs and their corrupt minions were unknowingly, or perhaps even knowingly, Putin’s little helpers in tearing our country apart.

It turns out that Clinton and her top foreign policy advisor, Jake Sullivan, spread a bogus Trump-Russia “collusion” narrative. To enable this Soviet-style disinformation campaign, Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign hired a tech firm to “infiltrate” servers at Trump Tower in Manhattan and at the White House in order to link Donald Trump to Russia.

Immediately following the 2016 election, the Russia-Trump collusion conspiracy became the intelligence community’s “bright and shiny object.” Serious intelligence briefings about the Russian threat and what Putin was up to were interrupted by national security officials asking irrelevant questions like, “What do the Russians have on Trump?” This was a major distraction that diverted intelligence resources and Washington’s attention from real threats, like China, Iran, and Putin’s hostile actions in Europe and Ukraine.

Media Turns From Ignoring Durham Evidence to Pretending to Rebut It

By WND. Legacy and social media kingpins learned what power they have when they decided, just before the 2020 presidential election, to suppress accurate – and devastatingly bad – stories about the Biden family’s lucrative overseas revenue strategies.

Few people heard the information, so they still supported Joe Biden, who was elected. It was only afterward that a Media Research Center poll showed that had those stories been reported more widely, Biden would have lost the election.

But the lesson was learned, and when special counsel John Durham recently submitted a court filing essentially describing how Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election hired cyberspies to look into web traffic involving candidate, then President, Donald Trump, to try to create a storyline that he was somehow linked to Russia, many media outlets developed laryngitis.

It was only days later they recovered, just in time to launch messaging that said the filing really didn’t say anything that bad about Clinton.

In fact, it wasn’t anything worth looking at, they contended. (Read more from “Media Turns From Ignoring Durham Evidence to Pretending to Rebut It” HERE)

Hillary Clinton Screamed At, Called ‘B—H’, ‘W—E’ Ahead of New York Democratic Committee Speech

By Radar Online. Hillary Clinton was booed, heckled, and called a number of obscene names by protestors before giving a recent speech on behalf of her fellow Democrats. The incident took place just hours after she addressed the bombshell accusations that she allegedly spied on former President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

In photos and videos obtained by Daily Mail, Clinton was met by the angry protestors on Thursday upon her arrival to the Times Square Sheraton Hotel, the place in which she was staying ahead of her headline address at the New York Democratic Committee’s nominating convention the same day.

While the 74-year-old former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate was walking from her ride into the hotel, she was met by a contentious crowd that called her names such as “b—h,” “w—e,” and “criminal.”

The protestors were there not only to protest the former first lady but also to protest in opposition to the current NY vaccine mandates currently in place in both the city and state as a whole.

Judge Orders Trump, Children to Answer Questions in NY Civil Case

A Manhattan judge rejected an effort by former President Donald Trump and two of his children to quash subpoenas in New York Attorney General Letitia James’s civil investigation into the Trump Organization.

Judge Arthur Engoron of the Manhattan Supreme Court ordered Trump on Thursday to share documents within 14 days and appear for a deposition in 21 days. Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump were also ordered to appear for depositions within 21 days.

“Today, justice prevailed,” James said in a statement. “Donald J. Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., and Ivanka Trump have been ordered by the court to comply with our lawful investigation into Mr. Trump and the Trump Organization’s financial dealings.” . . .

Lawyers for the Trumps had sought to block the subpoenas, arguing James is politically motivated and attempting to “circumvent the entire grand jury process” to assist a separate criminal investigation by the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

Of Course: Establishment Media Knock Durham Filings That Alleged Clinton Associates Spied on Trump

Establishment media on Tuesday panned Special Counsel John Durham’s court filings that alleged Hillary Clinton’s campaign associates spied on Donald Trump’s campaign and presidency.

After more than 48 hours since Durham’s court filing revelations were reported, the New York Times and Washington Post finally wrote articles on the subject, but they cast doubt on the filings’ significance. The outlets framed their articles around criticizing “right-leaning media” for “carefully” scrutinizing “off track” narratives that are “often based on a misleading presentation of the facts or outright misinformation.”

The Times headlined its Monday story, “Court Filing Started a Furor in Right-Wing Outlets, but Their Narrative Is Off Track,” and claimed the “alarmist” narrative highlights “the challenge for journalists in deciding what merits coverage”:

Upon close inspection, these narratives are often based on a misleading presentation of the facts or outright misinformation. They also tend to involve dense and obscure issues, so dissecting them requires asking readers to expend significant mental energy and time — raising the question of whether news outlets should even cover such claims. Yet Trump allies portray the news media as engaged in a cover-up if they don’t.

The Post published an “analysis” article Monday afternoon that claimed there is no evidence “Trump Tower was ‘wiretapped,’” and avoided making a clear connection between Hillary Clinton’s campaign and her associates that allegedly spied on Trump[.] (Read more from “Of Course: Establishment Media Knock Durham Filings That Alleged Clinton Associates Spied on Trump” HERE)

Special Counsel: Democrats Framed and Spied on Trump While He Was President

Enemies of Donald Trump surveilled the internet traffic at Trump Tower, at his New York City apartment building, and later at the executive office of the president of the United States, then fed disinformation about that traffic to intelligence agencies hoping to frame Trump as a Russia-connected stooge.

A tangential filing on Friday in the criminal case against former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann revealed these new details uncovered by Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation. The revelation came in the middle of a 13-page motion Durham’s prosecutors filed in the criminal case against Sussmann. The special counsel’s office charged Sussmann in September 2021, in a one-count indictment of lying to James Baker during a meeting Sussmann had with the then-FBI general counsel in the weeks leading up to the 2016 election.

During Sussmann’s September 19, 2016 meeting with Baker, Sussmann allegedly provided the FBI general counsel information that purported to show the existence of a secret communication channel between the Trump organization and the Russian Alfa Bank. The indictment charged that Sussmann told Baker during that meeting that he was not working on behalf of any client, when, according to the indictment, Sussmann was actually acting on behalf of “a U.S. technology industry executive at a U.S. Internet company”—later identified as Rodney Joffe—and “the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign.”

While the special counsel’s indictment of the Clinton campaign lawyer was, by itself, huge news, the details Durham sprinkled throughout the 27 pages of the talking indictment suggest even more bombshells are to come. Those allegations suggested “a scandal much deeper than merely Sussmann’s role in a second Russian hoax — a scandal that entangles the Clinton campaign, multiple internet companies, two federally-funded university researchers, and a complicit media.”

The talking indictment filed against Sussmann soon proved to be the first of many “talking” legal documents Durham’s team filed with the court. A little more than a month after charging Sussman, Durham filed a response to Sussmann’s “Motion for a Bill of Particulars”—a motion that asked the court to order Durham to provide more details about his alleged crime. That response revealed more details about Durham’s investigation. (Read more from “Special Counsel: Democrats Framed and Spied on Trump While He Was President” HERE)

Durham Reveals Spying on Trump Was Worse Than Watergate

Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway validated former President Donald Trump’s weekend claim that the latest revelations to emerge from the Durham probe expose the Russia hoax scandal as worse than Watergate.

On Friday, the latest filing from John Durham’s special counsel investigation alleged that the Hillary Clinton campaign paid tech workers to “infiltrate” servers at Trump Tower and the White House.

“It’s not just the president’s view that this is worse than Watergate,” Hemingway said on Fox News’ “MediaBuzz.” “If you want to remember what happened in Watergate, that was a relatively low-level break-in to a Democratic Party office and then a cover-up from the White House. … The spying operation against Donald Trump wasn’t just during the campaign, they were also spying on White House servers [and] Trump Tower while he was president.” (Read more from “Durham Reveals Spying on Trump Was Worse Than Watergate” HERE)

Trump Says Clinton Operative Spying Allegations ‘Would Have Been Punishable by Death’

Former President Donald Trump has accused operatives tied to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign of spying on him during his run for the presidency and while in the White House[.]

In a statement released on Twitter through his spokesperson on Saturday, Mr Trump said: “The latest pleading from Special Counsel Robert Durham provides indisputable evidence that my campaign and presidency were spied on by operatives paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign in an effort to develop a completely fabricated connection to Russia.”

He continues: “This is a scandal far greater in scope and magnitude than Watergate and those who were involved in and knew about this spying operation should be subject to criminal prosecution. In a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death. In addition, reparations should be paid to those in our country who have been damaged by this.”

Mr Trump said in a later statement on Twitter: “What Hillary Clinton and the Radical Left Democrats did with respect to spying on a President of the United States, even while in office, is a far bigger crime than Watergate. It will be interesting to see how it was covered by the media and what Mitch McConnell and the RINOs will be doing about it. This is an insult to the Republican Party, but a far greater insult to our Nation. Covered very powerfully this morning by Fox and Friends and, of course, Maria Bartiromo.” (Read more from “Trump Says Clinton Operative Spying Allegations ‘Would Have Been Punishable by Death’” HERE)

Hil to Die On: Most Democrats Want Clinton Investigated for Any Role in Russiagate Scandal

A surprisingly large share of Democrats wants to see Hillary Clinton investigated over her possible role in manufacturing dirt to try to tie Donald Trump to the Kremlin, a new poll shows.

The survey, conducted by TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics in New Jersey last month, polled 1,308 Americans about the mushrooming investigation by Special Counsel John Durham into the FBI’s probe of Trump’s alleged links to Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Nearly three out of four of those polled who are following the story said they think it’s important prosecutors investigate Clinton for her role in the Russiagate scandal along with her top campaign advisers.

That includes two-thirds — or 66 percent — of the Democrats polled who said they have been keeping up with the case.

That’s up 20 points from this past October, when TIPP asked the same question of a national panel, and indicates the Durham probe may be turning Democratic opinion regarding Clinton and the controversy.
