What Else Is Hidden in Burn Bags and Secret Rooms?

Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) and “Deep State” or “swamp” are real. Ancient Americans such groups “secret combinations.” Many people hate President Donald Trump so much that they will oppos anything that he does. Other people thought TDS was just a figment of imagination, but it has proven to be real. It comes to different levels of severity. A mild case may simply be judgmental about Trump’s morality – two divorces, three wives, filthy mouth.

More severe levels affect the thinking: Whatever Trump says or does is wrong and must be opposed. Some people have such bad cases of TDS that they hope that Iran wins the war because they do not want Trump to succeed.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has been instrumental in uncovering records proving that there is TDS. In his article published at The Daily Signal, Pedro Rodriguez explained that Gabbard declassified and released documents on Monday that “she says show that officials within the Intelligence Community mishandled and politicized a whistleblower complaint that ultimately led to President Donald Trump’s first impeachment in 2019.” 

According to Gabbard, the newly released records allege that what she described as “deep state actors” collaborated with then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to advance what she called a “false narrative” surrounding the whistleblower complaint.

In a statement accompanying the release, Gabbard accused Schiff and Pelosi of withholding transcripts of closed-door congressional testimony from former Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson – records she said would have undercut claims of Trump-Russia collusion dating back to 2017.

Gabbard said those transcripts were kept from the House Judiciary Committee until March 24, 2026, when they were released following a forced vote led by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rich Crawford.

The declassified documents, Gabbard said, show that Atkinson departed from standard inspector general investigative procedures and relied on what she characterized as politicized and manufactured narratives when handling the whistleblower complaint tied to Trump’s July 2019 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

According to the records, Atkinson’s preliminary inquiry involved interviews with only four individuals: the whistleblower, a friend of the whistleblower who assisted in authoring the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment on Russia and weas an associate of former FBI agent Peter Strzok, and two character references who lacked firsthand knowledge of the Trump-Zelenskyy call.

The documents further state that the whistleblower acknowledged having no direct, firsthand knowledge of the call. One quoted statement attributed to the whistleblower reads, “I do not have direct knowledge of private comments or communications by the President.”

Gabbard said the records show that no formal or complete investigation was conducted before the complaint was transmitted to Congress. Despite lacking firsthand evidence, she alleged that Atkinson moved forward in a way that exceeded his statutory authority and “weaponized” the whistleblower process.

By disregarding guidance from the Department of Justice and relying on secondhand information, Gabbard said Atkinson facilitated the complaint’s transmission to Congress, its referral to the FBI, and its eventual leak to the media.

Gabbard argued that Schiff and Pelosi then used the secondhand allegations to drive media coverage and lay the groundwork for Trump’s impeachment by the House in December 2019. “The politicization of the whistleblower process by a former CIA employee who was working hand in glove with Democrats in Congress (is an egregious example) of the deep state playbook on how to weaponize the Intelligence Community,” Gabbard said.

“Exposing these tactics and showing how they undermine the fabric of our democratic republic furthers the critical cause of transparency and accountability and will help prevent future abuse of power,” she continued.

  

Difference between Trump's Children and Biden's Son

            Hunter Biden, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden, has been in the news a lot lately because of his business dealings. It seems that he has problems in his past, such as drug use and possibly being discharged from the military under less that satisfactory conditions. Suddenly, he becomes a great businessman earning $50,000 plus per month from a business in Ukraine. Some people try to compare Hunter Biden with the Trump children, but they are sadly mistaken because there is no real comparison.


            It is true that the Trump children have done business in foreign countries. However, they ran international businesses before Donald Trump entered politics. The same cannot be said about Hunter Biden. He became an international businessman because his father was Vice President of the United States. Donald Trump Jr. was recently on the Sean Hannity Show on Fox and reminded the audience of his family’s situation.

You want to know [what] the difference between the Bidens and us [is]? … We were international businesspeople before politics, and we gave up doing all new deals going forward.

We didn’t magically become international businesspeople because of our political position…. We put that all aside for years.

            It is no secret that the Trump family is wealthy and that Donald Trump is losing money while serving as President of the United States. If the Trump siblings – Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric – have truly curtailed their business in/with foreign countries, they are surely losing money also. They seem to be the rare politician that loses money while in office. 


            It is said that about half of the 535 members in Congress are millionaires. Some of them were millionaires when they were elected, and others became millionaires while in Congress. How they did so on an annual salary of $174,000 is the question. This is more astounding than the fact that a billionaire (Trump) and members of his family are losing money while in office.


            I believe that it is safe to question why various members of Congress or other politicians seek election. Is it an overwhelming desire to serve the country, or is it a selfish need to make money?

Trump was a successful businessman and did not actually want to be President. However, he saw the mess that Barack Obama and his cronies made of our nation and stepped forward to make some corrections. For his efforts and sacrifices, he is defamed, mocked, and criticized. Even though he has been highly successful in creating a roaring economy and taking the unemployment to the lowest level in fifty years, there many people are trying to impeach him.

Trump promised to drain the swamp of Washington, D.C., and he is making great progress in doing so. The results of several investigations are about to come out. I expect that much corruption will be uncovered for the world to see. As I see it, impeachment may be the best thing that could happen to Trump -- but not to the country. The last time that a President threatened to expose corruption, he was assassinated. I hope and pray that the same does not happen to Trump.
