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.

If this ^^^ is true it means he has the right and duty to call all freedom loving Americans to arms.

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.

I want to hear Trump tell us who was advising him on a lot of the cabinet positions, particularly military, NSA, FBI, DOJ. Imagine if just one person in Trump’s inner circle who he truly trusted had told Trump to fire Comey on day one. There were many of us on this forum saying that Trump should fire Comey as soon as he was sworn in….lol!

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

Durham is a bit of a head scratcher…How the hell can he still be investigating the FISA Abuse scandal when Bongino, John Solomon, Sara Carter and numerous other reporters/journalists have pretty much exposed all the corruption?

The CORRUPT MEDIA, and the Oligarchs who own & collude for power, control against Trump & Americans, citizens in every nation, people around the world!

Despite Americans and the overwhelming majority of people everywhere knowing/understanding that the media is flagrantly dishonest, untrustworthy.....

when is the last time, or ANY time that you have heard these 3 letters:

FCC

Federal Communications Commission. The Agency we pay, fund to license, oversee, control the ENORMOUS POWER the MEDIA WIELDS.

THE MEIDA IS THE PROBLEM. EVERYONE KNOWS IT. YET NOT ONE MENTION OF THE - F C C - ?
