As with most if not all political organizations worldwide, our U.S. Republican and Democrat Parties share a shameful history of self-serving “dirty tricks.” And, when it comes to “foreign government collusion”—history supports that the Democrats long ago wrote the play book! One that to this date continues to guide an unrelenting, incessant, and nation-destructive Democrat-led effort to now impeach and subsequently prevent President Trump’s re-election in 2020.
To understand the Democrats' hypocrisy, one must travel back in time to the presidential election of 1984. The economy was booming thanks to Reaganomics, NASA was flying high, and President Ronald Reagan was running for re-election.
Certainly no big fan of Reagan, Senator Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., reportedly recruited the Russians to work against the sitting president. According to widely published reports, Kennedy enlisted the help of the Kremlin in attempting to take down the president. In a May 14, 1983 letter written by Russia’ KGB Director Viktor Chebrikov to then-Soviet leader Yuri Andropov, Chebrikov stated that Kennedy had sent his friend and former Sen. John Tunney, D-Calif., to meet with the Kremlin. During the meeting, Tunney apparently delivered "themes" that Kennedy suggested ought to be used against Reagan in the 1984 election.
The KGB director's letter, which was published in Paul Kengor's 2006 book The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism, stated that Kennedy had sympathy for the Soviet Union's positions, particularly on missile defense. In fact, Kennedy suggested that it was Reagan, not the Soviet Union, who was acting as the bully.
Kennedy, according to the letter, offered to help the Soviets deal with Reagan, whom Kennedy perceived as a warmonger. Kennedy would "arm Soviet officials with explanations regarding problems of nuclear disarmament so they may be better prepared and more convincing during appearances in the USA." In exchange, Kennedy wanted Soviet aid in challenging Reagan's re-election. Kennedy offered to use his influential friends in liberal American media to arrange television interviews for Andropov. This would soften the Soviets' image, Kennedy suggested, and help brand Reagan as reckless and dangerous.
According to the Russian KGB letter, Kennedy went so far as to suggest Soviet leaders ought to do a tour of American television interviews in order to improve Russia's image and gain sympathy for their position against the U.S.
Imagine for a moment if President Trump’s behavior approached that of Ted Kennedy’s. Heads would spin and explode, and a liberal-biased news media—already engaged in an overwhelming 24/7 anti-Trump blitz—would likely go into hyperventilating self-destructive overdrive!
Ultimately, Democrats failed spectacularly in their attempt to topple Reagan in 1984. Kennedy managed to avoid any real admission of his involvement with the Russians, and he ultimately admitted before his death that Reagan deserved full credit for winning the Cold War.
Nevertheless, and despite being on the wrong side of history in 1984, Democrats continue to use every foreign government collusion tool at their disposal to win elections and to discredit election results they disagree with. For example, as recently as 2016, the now under investigation Democrat party collusion with the top-level Ukrainian government officials to gain opposition research on then-candidate Donald Trump.
Even in the 1940s, a high-level Democrat — Henry Wallace, Secretary Commerce and former vice president under President Franklin Roosevelt during World War II — was aggressively working with Russians against U.S. foreign policy.
Thereafter, in 1945, cabinet member Wallace clandestinely met with Anatoly Gorsky, a station chief of the Russian KGB. Now-public intelligence files show that he told the Russian agent he would share secrets about the atomic bomb in order to damage President Harry Truman's foreign policy agenda and to enlist Russia's help for a small group of friends committed to fighting anti-Soviet policies.
Furthermore, Cold War historian John Lewis Gaddis, a Yale professor who is known as "the dean of Cold War historians," has reported that Soviet intelligence documents show that Wallace was "regularly reporting to the Kremlin in 1945 and 1946 while he was in the Truman administration."
Saying nothing of course about the more recent “Chinagate”—that is, during President Bill Clinton's 1996 campaign for re-election, several individuals allegedly working at the time on behalf of the Chinese government to influence the presidential election in favor of Clinton.
Of course in keeping with liberal-bias, there was no special prosecutor for Chinagate. And few in the media followed up on the Kennedy/KGB story when it broke.
Today, the Senate Judiciary Committee, Judicial Watch, and concerned others, are investigating another Democrat entanglement of foreign government collusion—regarding the opposition research firm, Fusion GPS, concerning the now-debunked "Trump Dossier" prepared by a former British intelligence official, a firm having done business with former Clinton White House staff, etc., etc., etc.
And, after untold lost hours/days/weeks/months and millions of wasted taxpayers' dollars later . . . the beat goes on! As, the hypocritical finger-pointing and nation-destructive witch hunt continues! By way of Democrat-led, deep state designed, and liberal-media enabled, efforts to send Trump-supporting deplorables a loud, clear, and long-lasting message—“How dare you to ever again entertain the delusional thought of ever sending a duly-elected, patriotic, qualified, capable, and dedicated Washington outsider, such as Donald J. Trump, into the realm of the long-ago established “Washington old boys and girls club,” with the aim of draining the swamp or otherwise interfering with the status-quo”!
Much more fittingly, however, is “how dare they”!
Yes, “how dare they discount for a minute our dedication to taking back our government (our liberty-enabling Constitutional Republic)—and in so doing, preserving our U.S. Constitution, borders, common-language English, and common-culture founded on Judeo-Christian values"!
