Spies could have tried to maybe break into Mar A Lago!!!

This is an example of really dumb journalism that is designed to pull on the emotional heartstrings of people who are desperate to hate Trump or any other politician that is like him. The media has been at this game for a long time and yet, there are still people out there that will take an article like this and take it as if it is a fact despite the fact that it is carefully contrived to impact people's emotions and isn't based on facts at all.

That is the headline of yet another Insider hit piece against conservatives. Now why do you suppose that those 3 countries were chosen to include in the list? Think about it for a minute. Those countries are the ones that weigh heaviest on people's minds and there is also a lot of half-truths or speculation going on about all of them at any given point in time as well.

Now there are a ton of people that get all of their news from headlines or even worse, someone who posted a headline with zero context on social media. Even worse would be if they took the words from a Tweet from a celebrity and even though I am not at all active on Twitter I am quite certain there were plenty of anti-Trump celebs that did exactly that.

The problem with the conclusions that people are going to draw by reading this headline and nothing more is that there is exactly zero evidence to suggest that any of these nations, or their "spies", actually did anything like that. Instead, this is just the speculation of Peter Strzok, who was fired from his position in the FBI, was extremely anti-Trump, and is currently still promoting a book he wrote about how much he hates Trump.

He was asked by an MSNBC person with similar levels of TDS if it "would be at all possible for Russian spies to gain access to Mar-a-Lago" to which Strzok responded with a predictable "absolutely!"

Now first off, this is a ridiculous question that nobody actually knows the answer to and Strzok, just because he worked for the FBI is not going to have any sort of better knowledge on whether or not something like this could happen than anyone else. A logical answer to the really stupid question that was asked would be along the lines of that it would depend on how many resources they put into the theft and whether or not they cared if they were caught. In reality, for someone to have stolen the documents undetected at a place with so much private and public security, it would have been extremely unlikely that they would be able to do this undetected.

But Peter is no normal logical person. He has a long-standing and bitter history with DJT and at the moment he is still doing all that he can to keep his name out there so that he, like many others, can personally cash in on Trump Derangement Syndrome.

The article by Insider, which actually does a good job of being transparent about Peter's history with Trump and how he was fired from his position can be read here if you would like to see a great example of how the media will use intentionally tricky language designed to manipulate the masses into believing something that they didn't explicitly say. This protects the media outlet from lawsuits because technically they didn't do anything wrong. However, they do realize that there are a lot of people whose lives run almost entirely on emotion rather than logic and they will not read the entire article objectively. I'm sure that there are thousands of people that saw this headline that believe that the invasion of Mar-a-Lago already happened. I suppose it did, but it wasn't by foreign spies.
