Watergate and Nuremberg — got that?
Hitler and Nixon — follow his thinking?
The inception of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation was as a counterintelligence matter seeking to understand if — and how — the Russian government might seeking to interfere in the 2016 election process. The “Counter” in “Counterintelligence” is the important part of the term. The goal of the investigative effort is to “Counter” it — to stop it. To determine if it is happening, and then take steps to intervene and put a halt to it.
But that wasn’t Weissmann’s view of the SCO’s purpose. The SCO was a “Hunter-Killer” squad. They had a mission. Donald Trump won the election. He could not have done so without Russian help. As a result the outcome of the election had to be overturned. “Get Trump” was the unspoken motto, and it was the unwritten goal. //
A crusading bully handed power while untethered to any obligation beyond his personalized notion of “truth” — that it is whatever he thinks it needs to be to accomplish his purpose.
Failure is not evidence of his error at the outset — failure is evidence of others preventing him from being recognized as being right. //
