I think it all changed during Clinton’s impeachment trial. They had the guy cold: he committed perjury straight up. Not only was he not convicted, but the MSM exacted a terrible price for all those who made an effort (to show that no one is above the law, etc.).
The end result was that Clinton rose in esteem among many voters while the house members who tried to hold him accountable were treated like pariahs. At least one lost his seat, & others faced an erosion of support.
There has not been a single time since then when the Republicans took a stand. It’s as if they chucked their principles & decided that being part of the DC Ruling Class trumped sticking their necks out for conservatism.
At least that’s how it looks to me. Fwiw.
Well, they can do without my vote.
All ALL, their evidence is saying is:
They are not drawing any conclusions from that straightforward statement of demonstrable fact. That is all ... ALL they are asking responsible authorities to investigate.
And that is all we should be asking. The conclusions drawn from the forgeries are inevitable, but legally they are not on the table ... yet. Team Obama has of course already drawn their own conclusions and that is why they are fighting so hard to keep the vastly simpler demonstration off the table.
To use a really stupid analogy: what the Cold Case Posse has delivered isn't the pony we all wanted for Christmas, but the saddle and bridle that fits only one pony in the whole world.
This is what makes the Col. West's Betrayal all the more despicable. He feared the conclusions The Cold Case Posse was not asking him to draw from the forgeries. Are the papers fakes? Yes. Just end of chapter one; not the whole story.
