These are the tactics of a police state, not a republic...

The House Intelligence Committee memo released recently quoted Steele as telling Ohr he "was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president."

These are criminal acts, and provable ones. Ohr lied about his wife's employment. And the Justice Department lied by omission in its application to spy on the Trump campaign. Moreover, Justice and the FBI used what they knew was tainted information to gain a wiretap warrant.

Quite simply, these are the tactics of a police state, not a republic where citizens have due process rights.

But Bruce Ohr and his wife Nellie aren't the only ones. The corruption reaches far deeper, to what American Thinker writer Monica Showalter calls "Deep State tag-teams" of inside-the-beltway bureaucratic power couples that used their positions of power for personal gain or political advantage.

"This shows the incestuousness of the Deep State, of course," Showalter, a former IBD staffer, wrote. "First, FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe and his wife, then FBI counterintelligence big Peter Strzok and his mistress Lisa page, and now Bruce and Nellie Ohr. "

And what did they all have in common? "Not a one of them was afraid of the consequences that ordinarily come of blatant conflicts of interest, and some, apparently such as Bruce Ohr, felt they could get away easily with lying."

As we said, the rot at the very center of this investigation gets worse by the week. Despite Robert Mueller's silence, his investigation is now so hopelessly compromised by its political bias and its clear anti-Trump motivation, it should not go on any longer.
