Letter to the Editor / LISTEN TO POGO
Roger C. Kostmayer
While Russians attack our constitutional democracy from afar (our voting, independent press, American unity and our traditional focus on national security before politics), the sycophantic Congressional Republicans are attacking it from inside Washington. They are trying to distract, subvert and obstruct investigations of the Russian attacks as they get closer and closer to the Republican White House. The most sinister Republican tactic is trying to destroy the reputation of, and confidence in, the Department of Justice and the FBI; followed by refusal to allow the minority committee members to release their report that rebuts those allegations.
Recently, the self proclaimed “toughest” President’s way of punishing Russia and Putin for their attacks on our homeland, was to REDUCE our sanctions on them. Why would that be?
The best description of this type of self imposed crisis was by Pogo, the famous comic strip philosopher who proclaimed: “We’ve met the enemy, and it’s us !” America and Congressional Republicans are playing into Putin’s hands, and it’s past time for the UNITED States to focus on the clear and present danger both from without and within, and respond in an unequivocal way that stops both attacks, now and in the future.

While myopic, petty little minds dwell on chimera, the rest of the country revels in new found optimism and prosperity.
Nothing will change until President Trump fulfills his campaign pledge to exposes the false 9-11 narrative – and we realize they are all in on the charade. Shame on all the “false flag waivers.” Quislings all.
Re “We’ve met the enemy, and it’s us !”
I’m musing how the deep state would have been used by Ms. Clinton, if she were Pres.
The Dream Team was in position:
DOJ, whose motto is Qui Pro Domina Justitia Sequitur meaning (Who prosecutes on behalf of justice aka the Lady Justice): #1 AG Lynch (during an active investigation met plane to plane accidentally in Phoenix with Pres B Clinton to discuss golf/grand-children); #2 Rosenstein, FISA signatory; #4 Ohr (ran the Russia probe, met w GPS/Steele; wife worked for GPS).
FBI whose motto is “Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity,” morphed into FBM (Fed Bu of Matters): #1 Comey (Clinton e-mail issue was a \’matter\’ and not an investigation; afraid of his shadow meeting Pres Trump as epitome of Fidelity, BRAVERY, Integrity; kept gov records for personal use); #2 McCabe (never recused self even though wife received money from the DNC); Ms. Paul (mistress and enabler to Strzok; McCabe\’s Legal Counsel); Baker (FBI Chief Legal Counsel; reviewing authority for FISA); #4 Strzok (Head of Counter-Intel; case agent in the Clinton e-mail matter; Flynn investigation; Russia collusion, FISA applicant review authority).
Given the previous administration proven history of abuses by US Treasury (Ms Lerner), BATFE (Fast and Furious) and others to do its political bidding, who needs external enemies when you have internal friends like these. (heavy sarcasm)
