U.S. Senator Colludes With Russians to Influence Presidential Election
PJ Media
BY J. CHRISTIAN ADAMS MARCH 2, 2017
Yes, a United States senator really did collude with the Russians to influence the outcome of a presidential election. His name was Ted Kennedy.
While Sen. Al Franken (D-Ringling Bros.) and other Democrats have the vapors over a truthful, complete, and correct answer Attorney General Jeff Sessions gave in his confirmation hearing, it's worth remembering the reprehensible behavior of Senator Ted Kennedy in 1984.
This reprehensible behavior didn't involve launching an Oldsmobile Delmont 88 into a tidal channel while drunk. This reprehensible behavior was collusion with America's most deadly enemy in an effort to defeat Ronald Reagan's reelection.
You won't hear much about that from CNN and the clown from Minnesota.
To recap, from Forbes:
Picking his way through the Soviet archives that Boris Yeltsin had just thrown open, in 1991 Tim Sebastian, a reporter for the London Times, came across an arresting memorandum. Composed in 1983 by Victor Chebrikov, the top man at the KGB, the memorandum was addressed to Yuri Andropov, the top man in the entire USSR. The subject: Sen. Edward Kennedy.
Kennedy’s message was simple. He proposed an unabashed quid pro quo. Kennedy would lend Andropov a hand in dealing with President Reagan. In return, the Soviet leader would lend the Democratic Party a hand in challenging Reagan in the 1984 presidential election. “The only real potential threats to Reagan are problems of war and peace and Soviet-American relations,” the memorandum stated. “These issues, according to the senator, will without a doubt become the most important of the election campaign.”
Kennedy made Andropov a couple of specific offers.
Among the promises Kennedy made the Soviets was he that would ensure that the television networks gave the Soviet leader primetime slots to speak directly to the American people, thus undermining Reagan's framing of the sinister nature of the USSR. Event then, the Democrats had the power to collude with the legacy media. Kennedy also promised to help Andropov penetrate the American message with his Soviet agitprop.
That's right, folks. Even 30 years ago, Democrat senators were colluding with America's enemies to bring down Republicans.
And no, Jeff Sessions didn't perjure himself. It's not even a close call.
So now they are after Jeff Sessions instead of Ronald Reagan. Ideological comrades throughout the Justice Department are helping out this time. Just before Trump's inauguration, the Obamites widely distributed intelligence informationthroughout the Department of Justice, where their political comrades could be counted on to leak the information after January 20.
This is a problem that will plague President Trump and General Sessions until they drain the swamp at the Justice Department -- something that isn't even close to getting started. Ideological leftists throughout the DOJ are serving as agents of the Obama regime and undermining the new administration.
For example, even now, the front office at the Civil Rights Division is largely made up of Obama holdovers and "permanent career political" appointees. The Obamaites expanded the number of deputy assistant attorney general slots throughout the Department of Justice and populated them with the most reliably radical people. They also appointed swarms of radicals into political offices on January 18 to "assist" the transition. They, too, are still there watching, observing, and probably "reporting."
Nobody thinks the noise about Jeff Sessions is a substantive issue. Eric Holder was found in criminal contempt of Congress and there wasn't a fraction of the sanctimonious outrage from Democrats and CNN like we see today.
Today's Justice Department drama is a tactic by Democrats to personalize and polarize a target. It is a strategy to make Jeff Sessions devote time and energy to this instead of protecting America from foreign influences and cleaning up the Justice Department from the lawless rot that Obama caused. The Democrats prefer the lawless rot, so they want Sessions to be diverted from his job.
Of course the leaks are going to continue until the new administration has the guts to clean the place out of all the radicals that were embedded there.
Leaks are pouring out over large and small matters because so far nobody is afraid of crossing the new administration. The attacks on Sessions started when some of his own employees decided to leak intelligence information -- just like happened to General Flynn. It will continue unless the administration realizes the media isn't the only gang in Washington opposed to the interests of the American people.
