A solid majority of Americans — a supermajority, even — are likely unaware that Donald J. Trump is suing Hillary Clinton and a gaggle of her cohorts for their part in the Russiagate hoax.
Though it has been reported on, here and there and now and then, I wasn’t aware until a few weeks ago.
Most major network news outfits do not make much of it.
Indeed, CNN’s initial coverage was quite instructive in how to downgrade a story in potential readers’ minds: “deep state” is in scare quotes and Hillary crony John Podesta is himself quoted as saying the suit was sure to be a “hoot.”
That’s the dismissive tactic of the current Vice President’s cackle.
But this lawsuit may be the key to understanding what the FBI was really looking for during its documents raid at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence: the material he had collected to bring this lawsuit against his enemies who had tried to unseat him using farrago, fantasy, and fraud.
In The Epoch Times, Jeff Carlson expounds on this theory that Trump had the goods on Clinton and certain other players on her staff and within the FBI and elsewhere, and that the FBI was trying to confiscate and muddy up the waters about what documents may be used in Trump’s lawsuit.
Calling the raid “a targeted fishing expedition — designed to capture any and all information relating to the Russiagate hoax,” Carlson notes it comes “at the exact time that the DOJ is defending its actions taken in the Russiagate hoax in court against Trump’s RICO case.”
Evidence, over time, has indeed linked Russiagate directly back to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign. Indeed, the Muller Report was a jumble of nonsense and notoriously fizzled. The whole mess is indecent.
But the only thing we — outside the halls of power — can count on for sure is that the insiders cannot be trusted to do anything but protect their power.
This is Common Sense. I’m Paul Jacob.

I’d say “we’ll see”, except that I have lost confidence that important truth about the course of social events ultimately comes out, let alone that it displaces rival beliefs.
If President Trump was smart, and I think he is, the docs the FBI were looking for were safely stashed with one or more lawyers.
