Trump’s been out of office for several months, can we safely say he never had the goods?

I’m willing to accept that Trump was being insulated from a lot of evidence and information that may have been vital in draining the Swamp but he was the damn president, he had to have access to some damning evidence against the Swamp….right?

What about Ratcliffe and Grenell, they had to have good evidence of illegal activities and proceedings that were being used against Trump …right?

What about Barr and Durham, they surely have the good stuff that would drain the Swamp…right?

Or, are we to believe it was Trump and everyone else? If the latter is true it only means the Swamp is not to be defeated without a true revolution.

Or, maybe we have to remember what we witnessed the past 5 years, with our own eyes and admit we watched the good stuff (corruption) happen and let it go without any consequences.

Or, maybe Trump and others who have the good stuff are saving it for their tell all books.

What do you think?

I think Trump has a family to consider and while releasing info might be gratifying for a short term he knows what would ultimately happen as retribution.

I don't know that this is terribly far off.

He could've done a better job of picking allies and cleaning house. But he clearly underestimated the depth and breadth of swampers who hate this country or at least love themselves a lot more than it.

Trump did try to expose and fix the corruption of our current president and it got him impeached and later defeated via a corrupt election.

There have been several interviews that have shown how corrupt and defiant much of the WH administration was during Trumps term.

Many of these swamp creatures came along as part of the deal with Pence as VP.

I forget the guys name but he was on Bannon and he called the WH attorneys the “No men”. As in you can’t do this or you can’t do that.

He was fighting the entire political establishment in both parties with very few true loyalists.

Yes, Trump is full of shite. He’s a Con man. Cried about losing the popular vote against HC. Said it was because $5M illegals voting. Set up a commission to investigate it, which came back negative.

Cried about Cruz winning Iowa primary because Cruz cheated and it was obviously voter fraud.

And so on…..

Trump never “had” the goods. Said goods were collected and held before Trump was elected. The goods will be revealed if or when those that hold them deem it necessary and it won’t be Trump that reveals them.

He has all of the goods and is in a better position to deliver the truth bombs.

It's only going to get better.

Ive always told people that the president isnt as powerful as people think. "the man with the finger on the button" lol Tried telling people that our media was completely controlled.

The only thing i expected from Trump is that maybe he could expose the media and that could slowly get the ball rolling over the years. He did do that. Other than giving you a peak behind the curtain there should have never been too high of expectations giving the swamp lives on both sides and its going to fight to keep the status quo. It would take a complete financial melt down for there to be a real revolution.

I don't know. What I do know is that Trump couldn't trust anyone. Seems like someone in every cabinet and agency was hell bent on undermining him.

I do believe, that if he actually knew there was fraud, he had a duty as the President to do something about it. Yet, he did nothing!

I think some people in the NSA and military gave him good info on some of the swamp, but there is no way to take people down without introducing that through the FBI and DOJ.

They've shown themselves to be part of the swamp.

I've said forever if Trump has a weakness it's in evaluation of hires and subordinates.

He puts too much faith in them and lets them flounder too long. He has too much faith in the people he hires, perhaps seeing their failures as a reflection of his own.

This is a dumb take. He took a retarded, sad, ineffectual republican party and gave them an identity. He is the literally the only reason that the rep party has any chance to fight against the bullshite artists on the left.

A vote in this UniParty® charade is a vote for the left or right wing of the CIA. The Potomac Cesspool can no more be “reformed” than a malignant cancer. If Liberty is to continue in this nation, it will come in some form of secession and nullification movements from the individual states.

There are so many people in the swamp that the alligators are fleeing to Padre Island to get away from it.
