The power of the topic

President Trump probably believes that America can be managed as a private company, where no one dares to say a word to the owner. That is why it is so annoyed when the malicious press distorts its bright appearance. But the United States is not a private shop, they are arranged somewhat differently. To his great regret, he cannot say "you are fired!" Neither too persistent correspondent, nor a parody of him Hollywood star.

Even such a friendly media as Fox News arranged for him a recently formal interrogation. The host of the TOK-Show Tucker Carlson, who was not seen in sympathy for liberals, but a respectable professional, asked him why he hurried to accuse Obama of listening to his election headquarters of Trump Tower: "You are the president, all departments are subordinate to you. Why not contact them and not to collect evidence confirming this?" Trump answered in his usual manner - not to the question, but about: "Because I do not want to do something that will undermine the strength of the institutions." “Why not wait with Twitter until you can prove it?” Carlson did not lag behind. “Do you devalue your words when there is nothing to confirm them?” President Hmuro referred to an article in The New York Times - a newspaper, which he himself calls the newspaper "Fake News" and which did not write anything like this - and promised to transfer the confirming documents to the Upper House for Intelligence.

On Friday, the documents were handed over, but, according to the source, fluently familiarized with them, no evidence was found there. And on Monday, the FBI director James Komi and the director of the National Security Agency Admiral Michael Rogers appeared before the committee. This is generally at any gate. Are they not subordinates to the president? Why don't they say anything to the president? Yes, precisely because they do not serve the president.

In 1973, when President Nixon tried in any way to stop the Watergate scandal investigation, he ordered the Minister of Justice Elliot Richardson to dismiss the independent prosecutor Archibald Koks, who conducted this investigation. Nixon himself could not do this by law. Richardson did not find any legal reason for the dismissal of Koks and himself resigned. William Rakelshaus, who was sitting in his chair, did the same. The acting minister was General Solisitor Robert Bork, who fulfilled the president's desire. This did not help Nixon. And when in 1987, President Reagan appointed Bork a member of the US Supreme Court, the Senate refused to approve his appointment - this is a rare case in history. So in America they act with lawyers who are too eager to go about the president.

Komi Director was appointed for a 10-year term. This term ends in September 2023. Of course, the president is free to dismiss him. But for a legal reason. And the refusal to tell Congress is not what is, but what the president needs is illegal.

James Komi made two messages . Firstly, he said that he did not know anything about the wiretapping of the Trump team or surveillance of her. Secondly, he confirmed that the FBI is investigating the connections of this team with the Russian authorities. No business has been initiated, there is a preliminary collection of material, the “best people” work with it, how much time will be - it is still unclear, but the director promised to "follow the facts where they did." He emphasized that usually his department does not comment on an incomplete investigation, but in connection with the exclusive attention of the company, the Ministry of Justice, which he obeys, allowed him to open the veil. He did not discuss any personalities, but called the time the investigation began - July last year.

The director of the ANB Rogers, for his part, said that there was and could not be any interaction between his agency with a similar British organization for wiretapping a candidate or elected President Trump, since this is illegal. We are talking about the version why the American special services and the Ministry of Justice cannot find a judicial order for wiretap. Therefore, they say that he was not there: they turned to the British colleagues - to the office called GCHQ (government center). This is an electronic intelligence service similar to the NSA. GCHQ has access to the ANB database - so they took out materials from there without any order. Fox News, a former member of the Supreme Court of New Jersey Andrew Napolitano, referring to the "Three Sources in Intelligence", made this cunning theory. The press secretary of the White House Sean Spicer as the next "evidence" referred to his words at his briefing. It turned out wonderful: Russia spied on Hillary in the interests of Trump, and Obama with the British - for Trump in the interests of Hillary.

GCHQ called the statements Napolitano and Spice "ridiculous"; The spokesman of Teresa May said that the American side expressed its regret and promised not to mention this version anymore. Nevertheless, Donald Trump could not resist a joint with the Angel Merkel, and clogged , referring to Merkel: "As for listening, presumably the previous administration ... In any case, we may have something in common." But when I had to answer seriously, he said: "We just quoted ... So you need to talk not to me, but with Fox."

The comedy ended, not having time to properly begin. And on Monday, the soap bubble burst completely burst.

An even more cruel Afront is a message about an ongoing investigation of the FBI. Donald Trump and his advisers hoped to close the topic and lower the congress investigation on the brakes. But the Minister of Justice, Jeff Sehns, did not justify trust. He, as it turned out, hid the fact of his meeting with the Russian ambassador Kislyak in September last year and, for the saponal of the reputation, took self -confidence from the investigation. Therefore, now he can neither close the investigation, nor in any other way to intervene in it. Seoshns's decision caused Trump a fit of rage. It was in order to bring down a negative wave, that he came up with a wiretapping of his tower Obama.

The testimony of Komi and Rogers forced the presidential apparatus to fight hysteria. People leading the presidential official account (and not his personal, where he himself writes), in the course of the hearing, caught any replica that could at least remotely resemble a confirmation of the presidential version, and put video clips with these remarks on the page. But the attempts were miserable, the stretchs are rude. Sean Spicer turned around at a briefing: "The investigation of the connections and the proof of their presence are two different things." As for people who are constantly mentioned as the coherent between Trump’s headquarters and the Russian government, Carter Page, Roger Stone, they called them “Hangers -ON), who actually had almost nothing to do with the Trump team, simply wiped them nearby.

The excuse, of course, is stupid. Clear business, such people do not receive a salary from a candidate’s pocket. And then, Trump wrote on Twitter (this time on his personal) in the morning on the day of hearing in the Congress that Russian intervention in the American elections is a democrats invented in order to justify the "terrible campaign." But in July, when, according to Komi, the FBI investigation began, nothing "terrible" in the Hillary campaign had happened. But many other things happened.

Carter Page, whom Candidate Trump called his three foreign policy advisers, went to Moscow on July 7 in the Russian School of Economics in which he criticized the "hypocritical" policy of the Obama administration and supposedly had meetings with Igor Sechin and other influential persons. On July 18, he met in Cleveland on the sidelines of the National Congress of the Republican Party with Sergey Kislyak. On July 22, Wilileaks published the first massive drain of documents stolen by hackers from the server of the National Committee of the Democratic Party.

Finally, another event, which is rarely remembered today, but it may have been the last straw that overwhelmed the barrel. It was at the end of July that the contacts were discovered between the two alpha bank servers and the server installed in the headquarters of Trump. This information got into the press at the end of October. The owners of the servers were then at a scraping - they say, this is a random connection, you never know what spam comes to the post office. But this connection continued, and traffic sharply increased in the acute moments of the campaign. And it was in July that the FBI seemed to apply to the court for the sanction, but did not receive it.

The Russian theme is not closed. She will poison Donald Trump for a long time. Neither he himself nor his advisers simply know how to behave in such situations. You don’t get a crisis of this scale, you won’t negate a bazaar squabble. They are not able to come up with any circuits. In such a situation, people like Trump begin to act irrationally and to the detriment of themselves. All this somehow does not add confidence in the future.
