Trump Administration DEBANKS Scott RItter! (Jimmy Dore)

Jimmy interviews Scott Ritter about his recent targeting by the FBI and being “debanked” as retaliation for his travel to Russia and outspoken criticism of U.S. foreign policy. Ritter explains that the FBI’s National Security Division operates as its own unaccountable “deep state,” using intimidation, surveillance, and financial pressure to silence dissent.

Ritter says both Democratic and Republican administrations, including Donald Trump’s, have continued the same policies, contradicting promises to rein in federal agencies and pursue peace. The conversation expands into allegations of compromised leadership, suppressed investigations, and fears of escalating war with Iran and Russia.



The comments from Ritter and Dore about Trump being in on all the corruption, as a participant, is likely wrong. Trump's obviously been threatened, and through luck, survived at least two assassination attempts. If he had not moved his head in the Pennsylvania assassination attempt then would have died. This was not some sort of hoax. The key thing to realise is that the people he is dealing with are killers and pedophiles - and these crooks are everywhere. Someone directly confronting them, without declaring Martial Law first, would be dead within a month. 

Despite this hopeless situation he's still doing a LOT of crazy things that exposes what's really going on. No other President, if they were really playing ball, would act in such a way.
