What has Mueller and his team been doing since then?

Good point! There is nothing new. But of course Feinstein had to say something given how their collusion story is about to fail.

That brings me to my own hobby-horse. Why are all the "commentators" which unfortunately includes a lot of "Freepers" and "Treepers" always reacting to all these "swampy" statements and false news? Just the last week-end we've had the Rex Tillerson removal, candidate Trump and Flynn, and now the obstruction story. Weird.

In the meantime lots of new facts about Hillary's emails etc, but of course some people don't want that to be the main topic of discussion.

I think there are some obvious angles to this whole thing that are being overlooked by a lot of people. McCarthy completely misses a few critical points, but I'll give him a pass on this because he probably doesn't have the space in one column to cover all of this.

Just a few items that immediately come to mind:

1. If the whole "collusion" angle was a farce from the beginning (and by "farce" I mean that there was no illegality involved even if every allegation about Trump's team having some kind of interactions with the Russians was true), then there should have been no need for Sessions to recuse himself at all. As the U.S. Attorney General, Sessions would have known better than anyone that Flynn's dealings with the Russians during the transition were perfectly legal.

2. With this in mind, Sessions' recusal had to involve something more than just the "Russian collusion" idiocy. As the case stands now (assuming McCarthy is correct in his "obstruction" point), the biggest role Sessions has played to date has been his involvement in the firing of James Comey.

3. Go back over Items #1 and #2 and think about this in the context of the sequence of these events. This can only mean that Sessions knew all the way back in early February that Comey was going to be fired ... even though it was another three months before Comey's termination unfolded.

4. Now go back and look at Items #1 through #3 and view them in the context of the events surrounding Comey's firing. For an administration that was supposedly leaking to the media like a sieve, and where rumors of terminations of almost every senior administration official have been posted all over the media on a weekly basis, there wasn't even a single hint of a possibility that Comey might be fired before he was cut loose. Heck -- he learned of his own termination by watching it on CNN!

I look at all of these things and I come to the conclusion that the Trump administration had Comey in its crosshairs as a target -- not only for termination, but as the subject of a potential criminal investigation -- for months leading up to his firing.

It’s pathetic how many people here on FR will rightly point out that the mainstream media is nothing more than “fake news,” but then will immediately latch onto a mainstream media report that casts Trump in a dark light as if it were the gospel truth.
