There
is an opening on the Supreme Court and President Trump is looking through his
candidates to nominate as the next Justice.
Various people have who they would pick and they advise the President. Eventually, he decides on Brett
Kavanaugh. It’s not a pick that
conservative leaders had in their top three candidates but they have no strong
feelings against it. All it comes down
to is a confirmation hearing by the Senate.
Normally, these things are non-events and don’t get much fan fare. What transpires turns into the highest strung
intense political battles in history. A
woman by the name of Christine Blaséy-Ford alleges that Kavanaugh sexually
assaulted her in high school. As the
facts came out and corroborating witnesses were named and asked, there was not
one shred of evidence that Ford was telling the truth. Her best friend said she didn’t remember
it. She admits to being 15 and not
having a license but nobody drove her to and from the party. She was not within walking distance. The
closest thing she had was that she passed a polygraph test but then it came out
that she trains people on how to beat polygraph tests. As is an unfortunate flaw in mankind, people
want to be included in anything. When
there is a string of suicides, they ask people who survive their suicide
attempts and they normally respond, “I wanted to know what it felt like” or “I
wanted to find out why so many people are trying it.” The problem is that the real answer to the
common question parents ask their kids when their excuse to something was that
their friends did it “Would you jump off a bridge if your friend was doing it”
is “yes.”
Crying rape is no exception as
people came out of the woodwork to accuse Kavanaugh of rape. Their logic was simple. There was no evidence that Ford knew
Kavanaugh and she could do it so they can accuse him too. The worst perpetuator of this was a woman who
got a lawyer named Michael Avenatti to represent her. Avenatti became famous for representing
pornographic stars. His client’s
accusations were so ridiculous that it was the only one that even the
Democratic Senators, that exploited every accusation, didn’t take
seriously. As Avenatti became frustrated
that he was the only person not receiving backup from the media and the
Democratic Senators, he turned to social media to complain. As he was mocked by Donald Trump Jr.,
Avenatti challenged Trump Jr. to a fight.
This prompted a conservative podcast host, Dan Bongino to volunteer in
Trump Jr’s place since Trump couldn’t for obvious reasons. Avenatti turned down the challenge.
It had
been almost a year since Kavanaugh was nominated as the next Supreme Court
Justice. A 35-year-old bald husky Greek
man is working in the Trump White House.
In his move to DC, he reconnected with a girl he knew in high school
named Tatiana. Tatiana was of Ukrainian
decent and actually met Theo in Greece.
She had spent a considerable amount of time in Ukraine working for the
pro-Ukraine candidate running against Russian-friendly Porchenko. It turned out that Ukrainian politics was a
dirty game even for political standards.
It also ended up being an entrepreneurial endeavor and Tatiana made
enough money to set her for life but as soon as she did she got out as quick as
she could. Now back in the States, she
was working as a nurse trying to avoid politics but that’s a hard thing to do
in Washington D.C.
The
country has been in a crisis the last two years. Unlike most crises in countries, the economy
has nothing to do with it. In fact, the
stock market keeps hitting all time highs and unemployment and underemployment
is at 50 year lows. Minorities are
moving up in social status as their unemployment and underemployed is at all
time lows. This is all despite having a
so-called “racist” President; at least that’s what the media says all day every
day. The crisis is that a
non-establishment candidate, Donald Trump, won the presidency with no
experience, which drove the establishment swamp-rat politicians on both sides
crazy. The old rules were out and now
people were exposing themselves as the corrupt, lying, cheating and stealing
disgraces that they are. Instead of
Republicans vs. Democrats, it was Trump supporters vs. the world.
This caused the non-Trump
supporters to align themselves with avid socialists that were taking over the
Democratic Party. The mainstream media was
defending domestic terrorist organizations like Antifa that attacked black and
white conservatives in the streets and in restaurants. As we stand a year and a half away from
another presidential campaign, socialists are thirsty for a new voting bloc. Now
that their ghettos and barrios meant to keep minorities down and subservient
are failing and minorities start their upward trend to financial independence
from the government, they are leaving the Democratic Party. Democrats are now trying to stop President
Trump from protecting the border so illegal immigrants can come in and then
claiming that illegal immigrants should be able to vote. They also want inmates to vote because they
are starting to realize that by keeping minorities down in barrios and ghettos
they are turning to crime and for every one that gets arrested, that’s one less
voter for them.
After three years of attacking
Trump viciously and vitriolically, the pool of Democratic candidates is rising
as they all think Trump is vulnerable to be beaten in 2020. Of course, they also all thought he had no
chance against Hillary Clinton three years earlier. Former Vice President Joe Biden, after weeks
of hinting and then stepping back only to step forward, has officially thrown
his hat in the ring and announced he is going to run for President.
After this happens, Theo calls
Tatiana and asks her to have dinner. She
accepts and Theo informs her that one of his friends is going to join them
named Ayeesha. Theo met Ayeesha in
college through a friend and is an attorney.
They go to the restaurant and sit to eat. Although most people avoid politics, Theo
isn’t one of them. He had to keep his
mouth shut when he lived in New York for 17 years but with the socialist
infestation in politics, he has become much more vocal. He says, “So what do we think about Biden
running for President?”
Ayeesha says, “I give him credit
for calling out Trump on that Charlottesville BS”
“You mean the lie that the media
keeps telling?”
“It’s not a lie. He said that there
are good people on both sides.”
“Good people on both sides of the
debate on whether or not to take down the Confederate statues. Later in the same speech, he specifically
says he isn’t talking about the White Supremacists because they should be
condemned totally. Doesn’t matter how
many times this lie is repeated, it’s still a lie.”
“Well, I don’t know. I feel like the media would’ve told us that.”
“Don’t you have access to
Lexis-Nexus or some legal library that you can look this shit up that’s more
elaborate than Google?”
“I’m not working a case; I don’t
have a need for discovery.”
“Well,
if you care about the truth, you’ll look it up.”
“I like
Biden though, he’s more of a centrist and he already has experience in the
White House.”
“I have
experience working in the White House, I shouldn’t be President”
“Yea
well he was involved in policy.”
“Yea,
let’s look at that policy. He was part
of a team that had the worst economic recovery after a recession in history,
they couldn’t figure out how to activate a website, when they finally passed
ObamaCare premiums went up and care went down, and they are the only presidency
to never reach 3% growth in any year in office.
Damn, I’m real impressed! Oh, I
forgot, he took over student loans and that’s a mess now. Kids owe more than ever, thank God we
graduated in 2006 before this shit happened!”
“Well,
the economy is finally hitting a plateau; all the economic advisors said that
3% is unrealistic”
“So how
did Trump do it? He even hit 4% in some
quarters.”
“Whatever,
that was Obama not Biden.”
Ayeesha
froze when she said that. Theo smiled
but didn’t exploit what she just said.
He decided to just stick to Biden, “Fine, let’s talk about Biden. In 1987, he had to drop out of the primary
because he was caught plagiarizing a speech by a British labor party
leader. He said it word for word and
just changed the British guys name with his own.”
“I’d
rather have a plagiarizer than a racist.
Besides, if he becomes President, he won’t be writing his speeches
anyway. It’s right up his alley; he
gives someone else’s speech.”
“That’s
real comforting. He also said he
graduated at the top of his law school but he actually graduated toward the
bottom.”
“Still
a lawyer.”
“He’s a
liar”
Tatiana
said, “Isn’t that redundant?” with a smile
Ayeesha
smiled back and said, “ Ha ha” sarcastically
Theo
continued, “And how do you call Trump a racist?
What did he say that was racist?”
Ayeesha
thought about it and said, “So many things but I can’t come up with an example
now.”
“Well,
there was that one time when he said, ‘They’re going to put y’all in chains’
when talking to a group of Black people.
He was talking about how the Democrats set up the ghettoes and barrios
to keep blacks down.”
“Oh
come on! You don’t think that’s racist?
That’s disgusting! I don’t care
what point he was making. Putting us in
chains!”
Tatiana
and Theo both smiled and Tatiana said, “You have to be careful with Theo, he
sets people up.”
Ayeesha
turned to Tatiana and said, “What do you mean?”
“He
wasn’t quoting Trump, he was quoting Biden.”
Ayeesha
shoulders slumped. He turned to Theo and
said, “Now who’s the liar?”
“I
didn’t say Trump said it, I said ‘he’ you assumed ‘he’ meant Trump. I’m not responsible for your assumption.”
“We
were on the topic of Trump, it was a logical conclusion”
“But
not something I actually said counselor”
“Wait,
I don’t think Biden would have talked against Barrios and Ghettoes and the
Democrats covering them up.”
Theo’s
eyes darted back and forth. He said,
“Okay, yea, that part was a lie. He was
saying ‘they’ for Republicans. But why
aren’t blacks up in arms about Biden for saying shit like that?”
“Because
he was talking against Republicans”
“What
about when he called Obama the ‘first clean African-American candidate’ and how
he speaks so clearly? I mean if a
Republican said that, they’d be shot.”
Ayeesha
chuckled, “I’m having flash backs of 1999”
Theo
started laughing, “Yea, the whole Chris Rock talking about how Colin Powell
should run for president.” Theo switched into the best Chris Rock voice he
could muster, “White people always have the same compliment about Colin Powell;
‘he speaks so well’ ‘he’s so well spoken’ ‘he just speaks so well’ like that’s
a compliment! ‘Speaks so well is something you say about retarded people….that
can talk. He’s an educated man! What
voice were you expecting to come out of his mouth? Yo check this out I be Pres-O-dent.”
Tatiana
and Ayeesha both laughed and Tatiana said, “Yea, that’s when Chris Rock was
actually funny.”
Theo
said, “It’s not even just blacks. Biden
said that you can’t work at 7/11 unless you have an Indian accent. I don’t know why people let white Democrats
get away with this. It’s like how most
blacks say it’s okay if Bill Clinton uses the n-word because he’s one of
them. Why is he one of them?”
“I’m
beginning not to like Biden now. Good
thing I got like 22 other candidates.
But we’re being rude. I’m sure
Tatiana doesn’t want us to have this discussion now.”
Tatiana
said, “No I have my own problems with Biden.”
Ayeesha
said, “Like what?”
“Well,
Theo forgot the groping of women.”
Ayeesha
turned to Theo, “Well that’s because he’s Greek and Europeans are very touchy
feely”
Theo
laughed, “I don’t grab little girls to smell their hair. That’s just creepy”
Tatiana
said, “Yea I mean did you see Hillary when Biden grabbed her by the elbows she
arched her entire back trying to put separation. But that’s Theo’s point, if anyone else did that;
they’d call it sexual assault. Just because he does that to every woman he
sees, doesn’t make it okay, it makes him a serial assaulter with no respect for
women”
Theo
goes, “Yea but he’s a Democrats and Democrats are above the law and this type
of criticism”
Ayeesha
gave him a dirty look and Tatiana said, “Yea, but that’s all juvenile
stuff. I mean girls claim sexual assault
if you call them ‘cute.’ And everything is racist now. You missed the worst shit.”
Theo
said, “Do tell”
“Well
when I was living in Ukraine in 2014, there was a strange coincidence. Joe Biden arrived to help us ward off Russian
influence in our politics. I worked
closely with him and he was giving us money and strategy. It was good but it was at a price. After he left, all of a sudden his son,
Hunter, who had no prior experience, was hired to be on the board of
Burisma. Burisma is the largest gas
company in Ukraine and over there energy is king. Within a month, there was money laundering
accusations, which caused British official to freeze like $ 23 million that
belonged to Zlochevsky, who works for Burisma.”
Ayeesha
said, “That sounds very sketchy but it could just be Zlochevsky and have been
coincidental.”
Tatiana
retorted, “Then why did Biden tell the Ukrainian President that if he doesn’t
fire the prosecutor general that was investigating this money laundering
operation, he’d stop a billion dollars in aid to the country?”
Ayeesha
said, “Seems like he was hiding something.”
“Yea,
the prosecutor general was investigating a large sum of money to a company that
Hunter Biden set up with John Kerry’s son.
The money came from Burisma.”
Theo
said, “Wasn’t someone just investigated for two years by a special counsel for
trying to do business in Russia? Oh and
wasn’t he accused of obstruction of justice for firing an attorney general”
Ayeesha
said, “Yea but he actually fired the AG not just talked about it”
Tatiana
said, “The president fired the Prosecutor General in Ukraine too. The one now wants to reopen the case now that
Biden is no longer in power to withhold aid from them.”
Theo
said, “And I’m guessing this money laundering operation stopped after the
prosecutor general was fired.”
Tatiana
said, “Yes, it did”
“Ayeesha
refresh my memory, after Comey was fired, was there still an
investigation?”Ayeesha rolled her eyes and Theo continued, “Oh yea, that was
like the start of the investigation”
Ayeesha
said, “Look, I’m not defending Biden. I
just don’t like Trump. But, Tatiana
makes some good points.”
Theo
chuckled, “Of course she did. But you
did say I changed your mind before Tatiana chimed in.”
“I did,
but Tatiana really stepped on Biden’s throat”
“Even I
have to agree with that.” Said Theo
They
all smiled and Ayeesha said, “Alright, I don’t know why but I feel like I have
to defend Biden. I mean nobody is all
bad.”
“Ah,
the lawyer comes out.” Retorted Theo
“Yes,
and you have to think about how primaries work.”
Theo
said, “Alright you’re turn to enlighten”
“Not
everyone is an educated voter. In fact,
I bet even most people aren’t. So, in a
general election, you can cheat, you can just vote for the party you like even
if you don’t know who the person is.”
Theo
said, “Well that’s true.”
“But
you can’t do that in a primary because you just have the person’s name”
“Okay”
“So,
Joe Biden has name ID. People know him”
“They
know Bernie Sanders too”
“Can
you name all 23 candidates?” Theo tried and only got to seven Ayeesha said,
“See what I mean, and you actually follow this stuff”
“Is
that all you got?”
“Nope,
his last name starts with a ‘B’ the names are listed alphabetically so he may
be the first person on the ticket.”
“I want
to say that that doesn’t matter but I have a feeling it does.”
“You
get about 9% of the vote if you’re listed first. People are lazy, they’re like “oh look I need
to vote for this one, umm candidate one, fine, here’s my vote because who
cares.”
Tatiana
said, “I really want to disagree with you but I don’t”
Ayeesha
continued, “Yea and with such a large field, you only need a plurality not a
majority.”
Theo
said, “So, 9% would go a long way.”
“Yea, a
field this big, you may only need around 20%.
Furthermore, if we get to the convention and there’s still two or three
candidates, then it goes to super-delegates.
And Super-delegates are establishment types. They are going to pick Biden because he’s the
establishment candidate. Bernie Sanders
already had the Democratic establishment conspire against him and sabotage his
campaign for Hillary in 2016, they definitely won’t pick him. Biden doesn’t have to win the primaries; he
just needs to be in the hunt at the time of the convention. Everyone else has to win.”
There
was a brief silence as the information sunk in and then Theo said, “But wait,
everything you’re saying is about Biden as a candidate not him as a person or
what he stands for or anything personal to him”
Ayeesha
gave a condescending look at Theo and said, “This is politics, the candidate
matters. Sometimes more than the
person.”
The
dinner ended and Tatiana said she had to get back to the hospital because she
was on call. Theo and Ayeesha were heading
the same direction on the train so decided to take it together. While down there, a group of people with
masks on their face started screaming at them.
They called Ayeesha a race traitor and Theo a NAZI”
Theo
laughed and said, “Why? Because I’m bald?”
“No, we
know you work at the White House for that racist bigot Trump”
This
was Theo’s first encounter with ANTIFA.
They sounded bull horns next to Ayeesha’s ear and threw coke on Theo.
Theo saw phones out. Ayeesha was scared
but Theo wasn’t. Every member of the
group was white and they were calling Ayeesha an ‘Uncle Tom’ and a racist. Theo said, “You really don’t see the irony in
white people telling a black person how to be black?”
“Shut
the fuck up Fascist” a large rotund man got in Theo’s face screaming “Fuck you”
repeatedly. Theo just smiled.
Ayeesha
was grabbed by two men and thrown to the ground. They said, “How can you betray your race by
hanging out with him?”
Theo
was no longer smiling. He shoved the big
man and tackled one of the men that threw Ayeesha down. He was also the one who had the bullhorn and
Theo grabbed the bullhorn and slammed it against the other guy’s face knocking
him onto his back. The large man that
had gotten in Theo’s face charged him and threw a punch that was highly
telegraphed. Theo ducked and spun
towards him. When the fist went over his
head he got up and punched the man in the kidneys. The man swung his arm back and Theo ducked
again and uppercutted him when he was facing him again. The large man took a few steps back and then
fell back. Theo took the bullhorn that
he had dropped when he ducked the first time and straddled the second guy he
hit and repeatedly hit him with the can drawing blood. Ayeesha grabbed him by the arm affectionately. She pulled the mask off the 1st
guy Theo hit who was holding the back of his head that snapped against the ground
when he got tackled. She had her phone
out and took a picture of his face. Now
that Theo got up, she did the same thing with the bloodied guy.
Ayeesha
took charge after this. She said, “Take
the other guys mask off, I’m pressing charges.”
“Did I
ruin that?”
“Nah, I’m
good at what I do. I’ll get someone that
can get you out of it.”
Theo pulled
down the big guy’s mask and Ayeesha took a picture with her phone. She then went around to the spectators with
their cameras out and turned on the charm.
She offered them all twenty dollars for the videos and they all
obliged. The three guys got up and Theo
walked to an area where all three were in front of him. Ayeesha hid behind him and called 911. Turns out it was just precautionary. Once all
three realized the anonymity of the masks were off they left the station and
ran up the stairs. Ayeesha went to the nearest
precinct and filed a complaint and expressed that she wanted to press
charges. It didn’t take the cops long to
figure out who they were and they arrested them. They tried to countersue but a lawyer at
Ayeesha’s firm represented Theo and got the case thrown away quickly. They pled guilty and got a minimum
sentence. Theo bragged about fighting
off three men but Ayeesha was quick to point out that these men weren’t exactly
masculine.
Biden
wasn’t the only one talking about running for president. Republican governor of Maryland, Larry Hogan,
expressed interest to run in a primary against Donald Trump. This caused Dan Bongino, who normally is very
cognizant of the fight the country is in, to go off against Larry Hogan. Bongino and Hogan had history when they both
ran in the same election cycle when Bongino lived in Maryland. It was before Hogan’s first term and Bongino
had helped his campaign out. Hogan than
turned on all his conservative values and distanced himself from them. This happened a lot when Republicans entered
the swamp to find out the Democrats ran the DOJ, FBI and CIA like a mob
regime. Trump was the only one with the
guts to stand up to the mob. This is why
it was no surprise he hired Giuliani to his campaign as Giuliani was the only
one to stand up to the Italian mob in New York and he won. Trump was hoping to do to the country what
Giuliani did in New York. Bongino was a
NYPD officer during the transition to Giuliani’s broken window policy. With Bongino threatening to take the gloves
off and reveal all the skeletons in Hogan’s closet if he runs against Trump in
a primary, Hogan had second thoughts.
Bongino
oscillated between the second and third highest rated conservative podcast in
the country. Because of this, hundreds
of thousands of people heard his rant.
Social media being social media it had reached millions. One person in particular that heard was
Michael Avenatti. Avenatti had had a
series of unfortunate events since Kavanaugh.
He tried to extort Nike and Nike responded by suing him. He lost the lawsuit and was now angry at his
fall from grace. He called Larry Hogan
and said, “I know you don’t know me Mr. Hogan, my name is Michael Avenatti”
“I’ve
heard of you. How can I help you?”
“We
have a shared enemy”
“Who
would that be?”
“Dan
Bongino”
There
was silence on the phone and Hogan said, “He’s just bitter because I won my
campaign and he didn’t”
“Yes, I
know this but I have a way to humiliate him and make him fall from grace”
“I’m
listening”
“He
challenged me to a fight. I say we
challenge him to a gauntlet match.”
Hogan
chuckled, “I’m not sure I follow.”
“We
both challenge him to a 2-1 but he has to fight us one at a time.”
“You do
know he was a Secret Service agent and a cop right?”
“Yes,
and he just had surgery on both his elbows and he’s got a bad back. He won’t accept and then he’ll look like a
fool. His fans will lose respect for him
for backing down from a fight that he made the initial challenge. We win”
“If you’re
so sure, you go first.”
“That’s
fine; it’s not going to happen anyway”
“Alright,
what do you need me to do?”
“Just
follow my lead. I’ll put it out in the press”
“Okay,
if you think it’ll work.”
Avenatti
smiled and ended the conversation. The
next day he went on TV and said he was accepting Bongino’s challenge but
Bongino has to take on him and Hogan.
Bongino put the clip on his instagram and twitter account with an arrow
pointing down asking if they were serious.
On his podcast the next day he laughed off the challenge.
After
the podcast, Hogan called Avenatti and said, “You were right, he’s not going to
take it. It’s time to go on the
offensive. We need to insult him. He’s got too many maladies to take the
fight. We’ll back him in a corner. I know that Bongino talks a lot about being
revolted by violence. He avoids it any way
he can. Now with all the surgeries and back problems he has, I say we humiliate
him.”
Avenatti
said, “I agree, let’s go on TV together.”
They
did and they took the gloves off. Hogan
talked about a story when Bongino was in the NYPD and a guy he was trying to
arrest hit him with an ironing board and kept wailing on him until Bongino’s
partner came and fought off the perpetrator.
Avenatti picky backed and said, “Now he’s going to hide behind his
medical maladies that he’s always whining about. Remember, he challenged me. I’m merely accepting. I didn’t start this fight, he did.”
Hogan
said, “He talks tough, but he’s not. My
grandmother always told me, never pick a fight but if someone picks a fight
with you, give it to them good. Bongino
is a bully just like President Trump. He wants me to not challenge Trump in a
primary so he threatened me. Well, I say
the only way to deal with a bully is to punch him in the mouth. Let’s see if Bongino will give me the chance.”
After
the video went viral, journalists flocked to Bongino for comment. They didn’t have to wait long as he was a Fox
contributor and had an appearance on the five the next day. He was asked and Bongino smiled and said, “Hey,
look, I accept. I don’t really know what
they’re thinking. I’ve seen them, they
have no experience. They know all about
my law enforcement experience. So yea,
let’s do this.”
Avenatti
assured Hogan that Bongino was bluffing and they double downed on the
insults. Bongino stayed quiet and just
set a date. The media took this and ran
with it. It was going to happen in DC as
Bongino agreed to go to their turf.
Bongino changed the stipulation that they could be in the ring at the
same time. The fight was set and once
people found out there was interest, tickets went on sale. Theo, who was a Bongino fan, bought two
tickets and invited Tatiana. Tatiana
agreed only to do something different than she normally did. The date arrived and Tatiana and Theo sat
close to the octagon. Tatiana looked
over and giggled. Theo said, “What?”
She motioned
her head in a direction that Theo followed and saw former CIA director John
Brennan sitting to watch the fight. Theo’s
eyes widened and his head snapped back in surprise. He said, “Is that who I think it is?”
Tatiana
said, “Yup, John Brennan”
“Yea,
the guy that lied about not seeing the Dossier before December 2016, yet he
briefed the gang of eight before then.”
Tatiana
smiled, “Who says he’s lying?”
“How do
you brief someone on a dossier you haven’t seen?”
“You
know for someone that’s such a stickler for words and going by exactly what the
sentence says, you’re falling for your own trick.”
“What
do you mean?”
“Like
when you always talk about how you ‘slept with her’”
“No, I
understand the trick but how am I falling for it?”
“Did
you read the FISA warrant?”
“It’s
heavily redacted but yes I did.”
“Not
very carefully”
“What
do you mean?”
“There’s
a footnote about source 1, which was Steele talking to a known US intelligence
agent, which is Brennan about the dirt on Carter Page.”
“Which
only exists in the dossier.”
“Right,
I know that now”
“Okay”
“Have I
seen the Dossier?”
“I don’t
know, it’s public information so maybe”
“I can
tell you the Dossier has allegations that Trump watched a golden showers show
when he was in Moscow for Miss America.
I can tell you that the dossier says Trump’s attorney Michael Cohen went
to Prague to discuss back door meeting with Russians. Now if I told you I have never seen the
dossier would you believe me?”
“Yes,
because all this was in the media. All that
was debunked by the way.”
“Think
about what I’m saying. I just told you
about the dossier that I never read. You
said you believe me. Why don’t you
believe Brennan for the same thing?”
Theo
hesitated and then his eyes widened, “He didn’t see the document, he talked to
Steele and Simpson, who wrote the Dossier and they told him what was in it.”
Tatiana
smiled, “Now you’re getting it.”
“Man, I
should’ve figured that out. That is my
game.”
“Well he
is CIA so don’t feel too bad that he beat you at your own game. I’m just glad the Democrats are finally
admitting that Trump was spied on. It
was so ridiculous when they denied it.”
“Yea,
now they’re arguing that there was a good reason for it.”
“All
back to the dossier”
“No,
they don’t even admit that. They just
say that the FISA court signed off on it.”
“What’s
wrong with that?”
“The
FISA court is not the affiant. They look
at a document that says it’s been verified by the Woods Procedure, or that the
five eyes intelligence of US, England, Australia, New Zealand and Canada looked
at it and verified it. That never
happened. It never went through official
channels. They lied to the FISA court
that the dossier was verified when it wasn’t.
That’s not the fault of the FISA court, that’s the fault of everyone who
signed it was authentic.”
“Yea
but if Trump was talking to Russians, then they had a reason to investigate.”
“I know
you hate the Russians but it’s not illegal for a foreigner to talk to a US
politician, it happens all the time. The
problem is if you do it against a US Law, which Trump didn’t”
“Well
that’s what they’re investigating”
“That’s
not how FISA courts work. You need a
crime before you get the FISA. What was
the crime? Who was the foreign actor
that Trump broke a law in talking to?
What’s his name? You were in
Ukraine. You were on the front lines
fighting the Russian government. You
should know the players. Name the
Russian.”
Tatiana
thought about this and said, “Putin”
“What
conversation with Putin broke the law?
You got the first prong, you named a Russian; A Russian that doesn’t
seem to be close with Trump but besides the point. What law did he break?”
“Well,
the FISA wasn’t against Trump, it was against Carter Page.”
“I
think there was other FISA’s but fine.
No speculation. Carter Page was
never charged with a crime. He wasn’t
charged because the dossier was unverified.
They swore to a BS document.”
“I
guess you have a point. I can tell you
both prongs about Carter Page. A Russian
gas company bribed him in order to lift sanctions on Russia and repeal the
Magnitsky Act. It’s been disproved now
but at least I can articulate the alleged crime. I can’t do that with Trump.”
“Yea,
back to our MI6 agent Christopher Steele that laundered information into the
FISA court and the DOJ”
“Yea”
“You
know that?”
“I told
you, I read the FISA”
“It
says that in the FISA? I read it to but
it’s a boring read.”
“Yea,
well I didn’t mind it. But yea, in the
footnote it talks about Christopher Steele or ‘source 1’ as they call it is a
credible source. Then it talks about his
sub-source that is Russian. It keeps
talking about how credible Steele is and then admits that the information wasn’t
from Steele.”
“You
don’t get vicarious credibility. That’s
why Hearsay isn’t admissible in court.”
“Right,
the dossier was hearsay from Russians to Christopher Steele to Brennan and the
DOJ”
“Like a
big game of telephone.”
“It’s
information laundering. And what ever
happened to getting information from Russians is illegal? Steele can do it but Trump can’t?”
“Yup,
if there’s one thing the last three years has taught us is that nobody is held
to a higher standard and gets the book thrown at him than President Donald Trump.”
“This
is why Devin Nunes says that the transfer of information wasn’t formal. It was oral.
Steele told Brennan, he didn’t show Brennan. What a joke!”
“What
is taking this fight so long?”
Avenatti
was talking to the referee of the fight.
He was trying to argue that Bongino takes a product called, “Foundation”
which is a creatine and ATP blend. Creatine
is a banned substance according to UFC rules.
The referee said, “This isn’t a UFC sanctioned fight. There are no drug tests. This isn’t sanctioned by any organization so
it’s really my call. Given how much
trash you guys have been talking and given how Bongino is very open about his
taking foundation, I don’t think it’s a problem. You knew he took foundation. You can also take foundation because you don’t
need a prescription so yea, this fight is happening.”
The debate
went on to no avail. The referee went to
the ring and an announcer announced the fighters starting with Hogan and
Avenatti. They walked to the ring and
the white haired 62-year-old Hogan looked petrified. Avenatti was trying to fake it thinking that
it was still two against one. Bongino
came to the ring with a swagger. He
looked around and couldn’t believe how many people had come for this. The referee explained the rules and Bongino
put his gloves up to touch. Hogan
touched gloves but Avenatti did not.
Bongino nodded his head and backed away hopping. Hogan walked to the other side of the ring
and watched. Avenatti put his hands up
to his face and Bongino swung back and forth alternating putting one leg almost
behind the other. The rules were that
Bongino had to beat both of them.
Avenatti dropped his hands mesmerized by the moves. Bongino put his hands down and swung his legs
connecting to the side of Avenatti’s head with the balls of each of his feet
knocking him down. Bongino mounted him
and started punching him in the face.
Hogan saw this as his opportunity so jumped onto Bongino’s back. Bongino grabbed his arm and pushed his
shoulder forward flipping Hogan to the ground.
He walked back over to Avenatti and mounted him. He rolled over so that Avenatti was on top
and then tucked Avenatti’s left arm into Bongino’s left armpit. Bongino snapped his left arm down pinning
Avenatti’s arm in place as his left leg raised to Avenatti’s shoulder ensuring
that Avenatti’s right arm was on the outside.
Bongino put his right foot against Avenatti’s pelvis and pushed himself twisting
his body to the right. He then put his
right leg up interlocking his ankles and flexing his feet and shins. Avenatti was knocked out in seconds and the
referee called it. Bongino released the
hold and Avenatti dropped face down. An
official cleared Avenatti out of the ring as he had regained consciousness but
was still pretty woozy.
At this point, Hogan was back on
his feet. Bongino stared at him smiling. Hogan put up his hands in submission. He said, “Dan, I’m 62-years-old, I’m almost
20 years older than you. You don’t want
to fight me.”
Dan smiled, “You challenged me bro.”
“That
was Avenatti”
Bongino
smiled wide and contemplated what would be the ramifications for what he was
about to do. He decided it was worth the
fallout in the media. Bongino was a
trained boxer and a Brazilian Ju Jitzu fighter.
The Ju Jitzu he used on Avenatti with that final hold, now he was going
to go to the boxing. He stepped toward
Avenatti and punched him square across the jaw breaking it and knocking him
unconscious. He said, “That’s for
turning your back on all the conservatives who supported you and stabbing me in
the back after I helped you on your campaign when nobody knew who you were and
you couldn’t get volunteers.”
The ref
stepped in between them and said what everyone already knew that Hogan was
knocked out. Bongino raised his
hands. The ineptitude of his opponents
nearly took the thrill of victory away….nearly.
When Hogan
came to, he never mentioned the fight again.
Avenatti did do a press conference in which he said that Bongino was a
Ju Jitzu fighter and started out using Capoeira. He said it threw him off because
he prepared for Brazilian Ju Jitzu.”
This got
to Bongino Bongino laughed and said, “Not
illegal but maybe Avenatti thought that since both martial arts are from Brazil
that they’re similar. He wondered why
Avenatti just couldn’t shut up. Avenatti
went to jail for extortion and Bongino gained a few more listeners on the podcast. The mainstream media tried to attack him for
punching a 62-year-old man that seemed to be surrendering but it didn’t
stick. It’s hard to argue assault when
you walk into a cage with a man with the intention to fight him. Hogan got no sympathy and didn’t run against
Trump in a Republican primary.
