MY SAY: THE REAL COLLUDERS
In the introduction to her book “The Red Thread- A Search for Ideological Drivers Inside the Anti-Trump Conspiracy” author Diana West asks: “What explains the law breaking lengths to which the highest government officials in Washington, D.C. have gone to stop the election of Donald Trump and then destroy his presidency?”
What indeed? These people were not the apparatchiks of the sixties who mimeographed anti American screeds in basements and couriered them on the subways. They were not the whiners and prevaricators of the never-Trump media. They were not leftist academics preaching to credulous snowflakes.
As West meticulously demonstrates in this short, timely work, they operated at the highest levels of government agencies where they exerted power and prestige and seeded poison. The Ohrs-Nellie and Bruce, Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS, ex British spy Christopher Steele, CIA Director and TV star John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, FBI conspirators and lovers Peter Strzok and Lisa Page invented dossiers, circulated rumors of collusion with Russia, crimes and coverups, all in the service of distracting and destroying a president.
Much of this has been disclosed, but West goes farther investigating the protagonists of the conspiracy. Drawing on interviews, published writings and academic papers, West builds vivid ideological profiles of anti-Trump conspirators who have otherwise remained enigmas to the public.
As Frank J. Gaffney, Executive Chairman of the Center for Security Policy, notes in his foreword “Ms. West’s meticulous research lays bare the ideological thread that runs through all these lives….. a leitmotif of communist mentorship, progressivist education, Marxist indoctrination, and ultimately a willing abrogation of oaths of office in obedience to the diktat of an ideology rooted not in Philadelphia, but St. Petersburg and Moscow.”
In The Red Thread , Diana West, indefatigable journalist and author employs the same investigative techniques and research used in her previous book “American Betrayal- : The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character” displaying, once again, her unique understanding of how history informs current events.
