Domingo Francisco Marcos is
16-years-old. He fled his native
Guatemala and entered the United States illegally but was unable to stay under
the radar and was caught by the Department of Homeland Security. Since Domingo was well trained in the
loopholes in the United States immigration system, he cried out “Asylum” and
the Arizona border patrol released him under his own reconnaissance to appear
at a court date.
The asylum court date had arrived and
the courtroom was filled with the Judge and officers working for the Department
of Homeland security. All that they
needed now was the young Domingo to show up.
Soon after being released by the
homeland security, Domingo knew he had to get out of Arizona. He immediately headed east and didn’t even
stop in Texas but by the time his court date arrived, he was hanging out as a
free man living in the oppressively humid Mobile, Alabama. He knew that the judge would issue a final
deportation notice but what did he care? He was on the other side of the
country. Let them look for him in
Arizona for he would not be going back to the state that caught him. Unfortunately for Domingo, Arizona was soon
to come to him.
Sonya Jones is a 49-year-old
black woman living in Mobile, Alabama.
She is a teacher at the Living Word Christian Center Kingdom Academy and
mother of two children. Her husband,
Harold Jones, works hard to provide for their two kids and provide a stable
loving home for them. Sonya grew up with
four sisters so having a son and a daughter brought joy to her parents for they
got to experience raising a boy through their grandson. Obviously, they loved their daughters but the
new experience of having a little boy to raise kept them young. This would not be the only new experience
they would experience through Sonya. The
other one, however, is something that no parent ever wants to or should
experience for there is nothing one can do to deserve the pain and
anguish.
Sonya is driving eastbound on
I-98 minding the speed limit and getting to her destination. As luck would have it, a young boy named
Domingo was heading westbound on the same road just like many others that
day. Almost every east bound car’s only
notice of the westbound cars is a blur rushing past them in their peripheral
vision as they continue on their journey.
For Sonya, however, Domingo’s westbound car was not going to be another
blur past her.
Since Domingo was an illegal
immigrant that was up for deportation, he didn’t have a driver’s license. This didn’t stop him from driving, however,
as he was from Guatemala where they had more important things to worry about
then people driving without a licenses.
Besides, getting a license could be an entrepreneurial endeavor in
Guatemala as license agents could easily be bribed to pass you regardless how
you did on the test. Since Domingo was
already a US law breaker, the moment he arrived, breaking other laws he deemed
inconsequential was exactly that to him.
He had a car, keys to operate it, what else does he need to drive? As he drives down I-98, he may have become
distracted or some other reason for what happens next. Domingo drives over the central divider of
the I-98 giving the oncoming traffic little time to react to something that
nobody could reasonably expect. Domingo
flies straight into an oncoming car as their hoods smash against each
other. With both cars totaled, Domingo’s
first impulse is to flee so as not to get caught driving without a license and
potentially deported. He gets out of the
car and tried to run but his injuries are too severe that even the rejuvenating
power of a 16-year-old body can’t aid him in running after a head on
collision. The pain becomes too much for
his brain and it shuts down causing him to collapse. Since he had no
inclination to check on the other person in the car, he has no idea he just
made a widow of her husband Harold and her kids Amberly and Anthony will have
to spend the rest of their lives without their mother.
Back in Arizona, Abby and her
husband Nouno are in their home watching the NBA, which Nouno loves
deeply. Abby remarks, “They set a date
for the IG report release.”
The IG report is Inspector
General’s Horowitz report about the origin of the Trump Russian collusion
scandal. He is trying to determine if
the FBI had probable cause to open the investigation or if it indeed was a
hoax. Nouno smiles, “It’s about
time. I suppose now until then the
Democrats are going to tell their little parrots, the mainstream media, how to
frame their story to minimize the damage as much as possible.”
“You don’t even know what they
wrote or offered.”
“I can predict it though.”
“Fine, tell me what you think
they’re going to say.”
“They’re going to change the
original premise to fit what we know now.
This is how Democrats and the media, but that’s redundant, operate to
trick the people. First, you have the
Crisis. In this case, Trump is a Russian
agent and colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election. Then you have the solution, which is
obviously to arrest Trump and everyone associated with him for the betterment
of society so that we can have pure elections.
Really, it’s projection because Hillary and Obama’s DOJ colluded with
Russia and Ukraine to take down Trump but failed so the solution is
ridiculous. Then, you have the results,
which is that everything they told us from to dossier, to Mifsud being a
Russian agent, to Trump asked the Ukrainians to attack Biden was all untrue and
completely made up and a hoax. Then you
have the response, which is where we’re at now, where they tell the people that
cite the results that they’re being narrow minded and too simplistic and
missing all the nuances and complexities that go into it. Just like with Mueller when they concluded
that he couldn’t prove that Trump didn’t commit a crime but that’s not how the
US justice system works. You’re innocent
until proven guilty here so there’s no such thing as proving that someone
didn’t commit a crime. The burden of
proof is on the people making the allegation to prove that he did. Democrats switch that and put the burden of
proof on the critics. It’s not enough
that we definitively proved their allegations wrong; we now have to prove his
innocence. Usually they claim that if
they didn’t do what they did, the results would have been much worse and since
you can’t prove a counter-factual, there’s nothing we can say. The other way they do this is to claim that
it was inevitable so it doesn’t matter.
They then change the accusation to make it more palpable and fit the
evidence slightly better and pretend that’s what they alleged all along.”
“That was a very good general
statement. Here’s the facts. They admit
that they made mistakes in handling the FISA process but it didn’t undermine
the premise that Russia interfered in the election.”
Nouno smiled widely and pumped
his fists, “Damn I’m good, I called it!”
“What the fuck are you talking
about?”
“They changed the original
premise!” he exclaimed
“How?” fired back Abby
“The original premise is that
Trump and his campaign was complicit and colluded with Russia to interfere in
our elections not that Russia interfered in our elections. Russia interferes in our elections all the
time; that’s not the issue or newsworthy.
Everyone knows that. The question
was did Trump collude or help them to do it.”
“Can we at least agree that the
Russians are evil?”
“Irrelevant. I can’t say ‘yes’ to that because you’re
going to claim that it’s okay that the Democrats used the media and law
enforcement to spy on their political opponent to stop him from being president
because Russia is bad. With that logic,
you can spy on anyone for whatever reason because bad people exist somewhere in
the world. Start thinking generally; are you saying that since Russia is bad,
we can spy on Americans?”
“No, but the New York Times says
they were going to interfere in our elections anyway so…..”
“Like I said, they claim it was
inevitable so doesn’t matter.”
Abby eyes darted up and back and
forth and her mouth kept opening to retort but nothing came out. Finally she just shook her head, “I hate when
you do this. You overthink everything!”
“Sounds like you’re seeing the
logic.”
“They did admit that an FBI
lawyer altered and tampered with evidence since he changed an e-mail to
incriminate Carter Page.”
“If that’s true, then it’s a
classic bait and switch.”
“How so?”
“Carter Page was cooperating
with them. They brought him with him
thinking they needed his help and then they altered it and used it against
him. They did the same thing to Mike
Flynn. These people are sick.”
“I still think the premise is
still valid.”
“What premise?”
“Russia is bad?”
“Great, now tell me why that’s a
reason to spy on Americans. Remember,
that’s where you caught tongue tied last time.”
“Whatever, I got a case.”
“Where are we going?”
“Mobile, Alabama.”
“Alright! I love the southern
accent and I reckon Mobile is as pure as the accent gets.” Nouno tried saying
this with a southern accent but didn’t do a very good job.
Abby took a mocking tone and
didn’t even try to go southern, “I reckon that you should just stop trying to
send like a southerner. You can use
words like ‘y’all’ and ‘reckon’ but you can’t sound awkward when you do.”
“How would you know? You’ve only
lived in Chicago and Cleveland”
“You lived in New York and
Cleveland!”
“I was born in North Carolina”
“You moved when you were three.”
“Still lived there when I
learned to speak.”
“Oh spare me!”
They both laughed. Abby books their flight to Alabama and they
head off. On the plane, Abby states,
“I’m beginning to forget about the Russia stuff. I got distracted with all the Ukraine phone
call.”
“It was the same thing with the
same players.”
“Not really but whatever, let’s talk about Carter Page because I
haven’t heard much about him.”
“That’s because despite being
the most famous target of a FISA warrant, he was never charged with anything.”
“Makes you think that the FBI
doesn’t just make stuff up like they did with Flynn and Papadopoulos”
“No, Page just fought and
refused to plead guilty no matter what pressure they put on him.”
“Times says there was no
political bias in the investigation.”
“Well that’s just asinine
considering we have all the texts between FBI Deputy Director Andy McCabe,
Strzok and Lisa Page.”
“Fine, I guess they were biased
but did it affect their work?”
“Yes, it was their motive to do
what they did.”
“Strzok claims he didn’t
participate in the Carter Page surveillance.”
“That’s a lie. Again, we have texts.”
“Show me the text that disproves
that specific theory about Carter Page.”
Nouno shows her a text from
Strzok to Page on October 11, ‘I’m fighting Stu for the FISA.’ then he
articulated, “’Stu’ is Stewart Evans who is a lawyer for the DOJ.”
“Could have been another FISA”
“Could have but unlikely”
“Why do you say that?”
“Well, Strzok said he was
fighting with the DOJ. That implies that
there was a problem with the veracity of the FISA. This may have hurt their chances for
renewal.”
“Obviously not since it was renewed
three times. They would have gotten the
FISA even without the e-mail manipulation so it’s not a big deal.”
“What information was verified?”
“When you get a warrant, even if
it has false information, as long as the warrant would be issued even with the
omission of the false information, the warrant is still valid.”
“That’s cute that you wanted to
show off your legal knowledge but again, we take out the e-mail, what
information is still there that would have led to the FISA warrant or is
evidence of probable cause?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well, I didn’t know about the
e-mail till recently so what did they originally say the FISA was based on?”
“The Dossier”
“Which has been exposed as
salacious, unverified, and a complete hoax.
That was the real problem with the FISC.
To your earlier point, Andy McCabe is already on the record saying that
there would be no probable cause without the dossier. Even if you go to the most beneficial
information to your case; half of their information was the dossier. Now we know one part of the other 50%, the
e-mail, but that was evidence tampering and fraud. They fired the guy for it so that’s not the
good information that stands on its own.
What is it?”
“We don’t know yet. We don’t have security clearance so I’m sure
they know.”
“Are you trying to say that
there is verified true evidence out there but they refuse to tell us? Of all the leaks we’ve already had, you’re
trying to tell me that the press, Mueller, Senate Intelligence Committee, House
intelligence committee, Eric Swalwell, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff,
among others that have the opportunity to actually disprove what the
conservatives have been accusing them of for three years but that isn’t
leaking?!”
“Maybe”
“Unlikely.”
“But possible.”
“We don’t do ‘possible,’ we do
facts. Besides, even if I gave you this,
it doesn’t change the fact that the premise that Russia meddling justifies any
overzealousness in spying an investigations on any American is a big problem
that directly violates the constitution.”
They land in Mobile and check
into their Air BNB, which is secluded from the rest of the city. Abby hacks into Domingo’s social media
account and sees his patterns. Abby
looks up and announces, “With how humid it is here, we may not even need a
crematorium. We can just leave him on
the sidewalk and his body will burn that way.”
Nouno chuckles, “What did this
guy do?”
“Kid, he’s 16. He crossed a center turn lane and hit a woman
head on. He was supposed to be deported
in Arizona but he fled the state when he was supposed to be in court.”
“Where’s he from?”
“Guatemala”
“Oh good, I get to practice my
Spanish.”
Abby picks a point where they
can nab Domingo and they head out. Nouno
sits in the shade of a tree as he knows Domingo is going to be walking by
soon. With him, Nouno has a six pack of
beer with him. As Domingo meanders by,
Nouno calls out, “Quieres una Cerveza?” Do
you want a beer?”
Domingo turns around and sees a
white guy holding out a can of beer. He
walks over and responds, “Si, Gracias.”
Nouno throw the beer can
purposely so it is not catchable and will fall and it does. While Domingo is distracted by the tossed
can, Nouno gets up apologizing and approaching Domingo. When Domingo bent down to pick up the can
verbalizing not to worry, Nouno drilled a sedative into his neck rending him
unconscious. He then retorts in Spanish,
“I’m not worried but you should have been.”
Domingo was not a large kid so
Nouno had no problem hoisting him up deadweight and getting him into the car
where Abby was waiting. When Domingo
woke up he was surrounded by pictures of Sonya and her family. He struggled with his restraints and then saw
the pictures and reasoned why he was there.
He cried out babbling in Spanish, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to kill
her. It was an accident.”
Abby smacked him across the face
and scolded him to stop whining. Nouno
translated and it seemed to have the effect as Domingo calmed down. Nouno continued in Spanish, “It’s not really
the accident why you’re here. The
problem is you should never have been in the country in the first place. We’re getting sick of American being killed
because illegal immigrants don’t want to come here and fit in.”
“My home Guatemala is very
dangerous. I would have died if I stayed
there”
“So why not claim asylum in
Mexico?”
“I can do that. I will if you let me go.”
“Just how you went to your court
date?”
There was silence as Domingo
didn’t know how to respond to this.
Finally he rejoined, “I do take an interest in America.”
“Prove it. Why are we speaking Spanish? Say something in English.”
Domingo kept with the Spanish,
“I’m still learning.”
“Funny, you know the word ‘asylum’ when you were about to get
kicked out but you don’t speak English.
I’ve been to 40 countries. Almost
all of them the people spoke English and that was in their country. You’re actually here.”
“I know about the Russia and
Trump problem”
“How did it start?”
“They spied on him.”
“With a FISA, yes”
“I’m very good at dates. I know every date it was renewed”
“When was it renewed the second
time?”
“April 7, 2017.”
Nouno was curious so he looked
it up. He was surprised to find that
Domingo was right. While he was looking,
however, there was a lot of media backing up the Times about the FBI lawyer
that altered the e-mail. He feels he
needs to say something so he utters, “I’m impressed. The weird thing is that at this time, the FBI
knew that Trump didn’t do anything wrong.
They knew that all the bad stuff they heard was a lie.”
“Yea, this happens in Guatemala
too. I was sad to see it happening
here.”
“In order to get a FISA renewed,
you can’t use old information. They
needed something new.”
“That’s a good point but I don’t
know what the new thing was.”
Nouno was talking more to
himself than to Domingo. Something was
in the back of his mind that he couldn’t shake but knew it was going to click
soon. Finally, it dawned on him. “Wait, Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI lawyer that
changed the e-mail, sent the e-mail on April 6, 2017. If even the New York Times admits that it was
doctored and changed then I think we just figured out why.”
“They knew they couldn’t get a 3rd
FISA without something new, so he made sure something new came up.”
“This angers me. Carter Page was cooperating so he e-mails the
FBI in order to give them information they asked for and Clinesmith doctors and
alters it and hands it to the FISC to get the FISA renewed again. This is crazy.”
“If an e-mail cooperating with
the police is altered to make it look like he’s a spy then there’s no denying
that it’s bad. There’s no good way to
look at this.”
“Yes”
“So, you see, I’m interested in
American things. I want to be an
American. I just made a mistake and I
feel really bad about it.”
“I can make the pain go away.”
“How are you going to do that?”
“Like this” as he stabs him in
the chest killing him instantly. They
wrap the body and pack it in the car and then head to the crematorium that they
had already scoped out. As they were
driving, they go over a bridge and Nouno commands, “Stop the car”
Abby does and Nouno gets out and
looks over the bridge in the dark night water.
He takes out Domingo’s phone and turns the light on and tosses it over
the bridge. As the light drops, it
reveals a bunch of alligators, which are nocturnal. Abby puts the car in park and comes outside
and walks next to him, “What are you doing?”
“I noticed alligators in the
water earlier. They’re nocturnal. Let’s just throw him in.”
“Do we know if the alligators
will eat him?”
“We’ll drench him in fish
blood.”
“Then we’ll have to go to the
store. Why not just go to the
crematorium?”
“Because we have to break in and
come back hours later and clean. This is
just quick and easy.”
“And sloppy”
“I say we try it.”
“We can’t drive to the store
with a dead body in the trunk.”
“Let’s just throw him over. Nobody is going to go into alligator infested
water to get him.”
“Alright, fuck it, let’s change
it up.”
They open the trunk and grab the
body and toss him over. Nouno’s plan was
to find a fish to throw over if there was no action but it quickly became
unnecessary as splashes and rustling could be heard and even though they
couldn’t see it, they knew that Domingo’s body was being torn apart. They got into their car and drove back. They get back and turn on the TV and see
Fusion GPS owners Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch on Chuck Todd’s show on
CNN. Abby turns to Nouno and smiles
knowing he’s about to go off. Fritsch starts
accrediting Steele and talks about how he spent so much time going through the
dossier and taking out the false information and keeping the true information.”
Nouno called out, “Well, he did
a shitty job since the dossier was filled with false information. In fact, I don’t even know of anything in
there that was true.”
“So, he did a bad job” Abby
explained
Nouno tilted his head to the
side and looked up pondering something.
He voiced, “Wait, he said that Steele went through the dossier removing
false information and keeping valid ones.”
“Yes”
“Why would he have to do that if
he wrote it?”
Now it was Abby’s turn to take a
pondering look, “That’s actually a good point.”
“I mean, I always thought that
it was Simpson that wrote the dossier and put Steele’s name on it so that the
FBI wouldn’t bother verifying it but I think they just confirmed that.”
As they keep listening, Simpson
justifies meeting with Natalie Veselnitskaya, the Russian that met with Trump
Jr. in Trump Tower, before and after the infamous Trump tower meeting. He turns the conversation back to Steele as
he justifies this and pronounces, “Steele is a Russian expert and he knew all
about Russia.”
Nouno blurted out, “How? He hadn’t been there in 25 years.”
Abby commented, “Why did you
think Simpson wrote the dossier before today?”
“On June 24, 2017, Mary Jacoby,
his wife, claimed that Simpson was responsible for the lion’s share of Russia
gate. She exclaimed that Simpson exposed
Putin’s control of Trump, Glenn conducted the investigation, Glenn hired Steele
and Steele worked for Glenn.”
“Damn, way to blow his spot.”
“At the time, they thought they
had succeeded in taking down Trump. She
took it down but, as you know, Facebook is forever.”
“That’s why we milennials
stopped using Facebook.”
“Yea, I know, but for us old people,
it’s good to connect with people we have lost contact with. You are too young to lose contact with people
yet.”
“Hey Hey Hey, I’m 26, there’s
people from high school I haven’t spoken to.”
“Well, I’m 35; I have college
friends I lost contact with.”
“Fine, but maybe Jacoby is just
supporting her man.”
“Not really. They met when they both worked for the Wall
Street Journal in 2007. They would
co-write articles and one article reads just like the dossier except it has
“Bob Dole’s” name instead of “Donald Trump’s” but Paul Manafort, and the
Russian operatives were all the same.
The article was printed on April 19, 2007 and is titled something like
‘How Ex-Soviets use Lobbyists to Woo Washington.”
“You’re starting to make sense
but I still think it’s a conspiracy.”
“Nothing will convince you
otherwise.”
Abby and Nouno go to bed and the
next day they go to the airport and fly back to Arizona. On the plane, Abby poses, “What’s the
Democracy Integrity Project?”’
“It’s a non-profit organization
led by Dan Jones, who used to work for Diane Feinstein. It’s funded by Rob Reiner and George Soros
but Soros funds like every liberal organization so it’s not surprising.”
“According to Glenn Simpson,
they are still investigating Russia.”
“Wait what?” before Nouno was
casually answering but now he was focused with his eyes wide, “TDIP is
investigating Trump and Russia collusion?”
“No, Simpson was very clear that
it’s not Trump but Russia’s involvement in the western world.”
“That means the hoax is still
on. Remember what the new Democrat
talking point is; since Russia is bad, everything they did, no matter how wrong
and unconstitutional, was justified.
This is part of the hoax.”
“How can it be if they
specifically say it’s not about Trump?”
“Same way when this started
Comey said that President Trump wasn’t under investigation when he was. It’s so he keeps his guard down.”
“No chance of that. By now, he knows they’re really fishing for
something. “
“Don’t you find it odd that the
New York Times and the Fusion GPS owner are saying the same thing that it’s not
Trump but Russia? They’re saying the
same thing except the Times says it about the imminent IG report and Simpson
admits it’s an investigation.”
“Alright”
“This is a Soros group. The former Ukraine ambassador, Yovanovitch
and the second in charge George Kent admitted during the hearings that they
pressured the new prosecutor general not to prosecute Soros’ group AntAC. Giuliani just went to Ukraine and said that
Glenn Simpson was in Ukraine during the writing of the dossier. This shit happened in Ukraine and you’re
telling me another Soros group is looking into Russia. It’s happening again. They’re still on the dossier. People are
still falling for it. They’re going to
do it again in 2020.”
‘You got it all figured out.”
Abby opined sarcastically
“The only thing I don’t know is
how Prague comes into this.”
“Right, we know Michael Coehn
had never been to Prague. Even Mueller
didn’t claim that Cohen went to Prague.
That was one of the false things in the dossier.”
“But Democrats never say
anything by accident. It’s usually to
frame a narrative, an outright lie to distract you or, most commonly,
projection. Almost everything the
Democrats accuse Republicans of is something they’re guilty of themselves. “
“So, you’re saying that the
Democrats did something in Prague.”
“I am. There’s more to this story and it’s in
Prague.”
“You have no evidence of that
right? Nothing you read?”
“No, it’s just a presumption.”
“Didn’t you yell at Sondland for
that?”
“I’m not claiming to be an
expert and testifying as a star witness in a trial to prosecute a high level
official.”
“I’ll give you that. You didn’t take your presumption to have
repercussions like people go to jail or, you know, get impeached.”
“Right, so you can’t compare the
two.”
“Alright, time will tell if
you’re on to something.”
