The broad swath of the  Trump-hating media that has participated in what has amounted to an  unconstitutional attempt to overthrow the government are reduced to  reporting the events and revelations of the scandal in which they have  been complicit, in a po-faced ho-hum manner to impart to the misinformed  public that this is as routine as stock market fluctuations or the  burning of an American flag in Tehran. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>For more than two years, the United States and the world have had two  competing narratives: that an elected president of the United States was  a Russian agent whom the Kremlin helped elect; and its rival narrative  that senior officials of the Justice Department, FBI, CIA, and other  national intelligence organizations had repeatedly lied under oath,  misinformed federal officials, and meddled in partisan political matters  illegally and unconstitutionally and had effectively tried to influence  the outcome of a presidential election, and then undo its result by  falsely propagating the first narrative. It is now obvious and  indisputable that the second narrative is the correct one. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This unorganized but widespread campaign of defamation was taken up by a  great number of ordinarily newsworthy celebrities and was accompanied  by false, unresearched stories denigrating President Trump\u2019s supporters,  such as the <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/amgreatness.com\/2019\/01\/28\/does-covington-expose-the-tipping-point\/\"><em>false claims<\/em><\/a><em>  about Catholic school students\u2019 treatment of an elderly native American  and the false claim that actor Jussie Smollett had been beaten up and  reviled by Trump supporters. The former intelligence chiefs of the  nation under <\/em><strong><em>President Obama<\/em><\/strong><em> repeatedly have accused this president of  treason, the most heinous of all crimes, and have asserted with the  authority of their former positions that the Russians determined the  result of the 2016 presidential election. They knew this to be entirely  false.<\/em> &#8211; (bold emphasis added)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Without realizing the proportions of the emergency, America has survived  the greatest constitutional crisis since the Civil War. All those who  legitimately oppose or dislike the president, including traditional  high-brow Republicans who find him distasteful, should join in the  condemnation of this largely criminal assault on democracy, and then, if  they wish, go out and try to beat him fair and square, the good  old-fashioned way, in a free election. But they must abide by the  election\u2019s result. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>View the complete article including image and links at:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/amgreatness.com\/2019\/02\/21\/the-greatest-constitutional-crisis-since-the-civil-war\/\">https:\/\/amgreatness.com\/2019\/02\/21\/the-greatest-constitutional-crisis-since-the-civil-war\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AMERICAN GREATNESS, by Conrad Black| February 21st, 2019 Excerpts: The most immense and dangerous public scandal in American history is finally cracking open like a ripe pomegranate.
