Weve talked for a long time about approaching a constitutional crisis. We are now in it.
That was House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler on Wednesday.
When reporters asked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday if she agreed with Nadlers assessment, her response was that she does, because the administration has decided that theyre not going to honor their oath of office.
What neither Nadler nor Pelosi did say, however, is the crisis the country is now in has been engineered entirely by Nadler and his fellow Democrats.
Consider: At this very moment, there is a virtually redaction-free version of the Mueller report available to Nadler and other top Democrats. In this version, supplied by the Justice Department in deference to Democrats demand for more transparency, the sum total of the redaction in Volume II of the Mueller report the part Democrats say they are most interested in because it deals with obstruction of justice is two full lines of text and seven partial lines of text.
That document is sitting in a secure room in the House. Yet not a single Democrat has bothered to look at it.
In fact, the Democrats are purposely avoiding reviewing it, for fear that it would undermine their case for still more disclosures.
In a letter to Nadler, Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd said that the fact that Democrats refuse to examine this almost entirely unredacted version of the report naturally raises questions about the sincerity of the committees interest in and purported need for the redacted material.
Indeed, it does.
Meanwhile, Nadler knows full well that complying with his demand for millions of pages of additional documents including secret grand jury proceedings would itself be illegal.
The Judiciary Committees ranking Republican, Doug Collins, made it clear:

Not really they have caused it on purpose by their own treasonous actions long before Trump came on the scene.
All honest people are appalled--and always will be.
Of course. Classic Hegelian Dialectic...thesis, antithesis, synthesis.
And some #Resistance Republicans.
“CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS”, “RACIST”, “RUSSIA” - very limited vocabulary by the Left and their media.
“It’s all part of the Democrats’ strategy to nullify the 2016 Presidential Election—the histrionics, the endless “investigations,” the shameless false accusations, the blatant lies and distortions.
All honest people are appalled—and always will be.”
You hit the nail on the head! This is a constitutional crisis - a coordinated attempt by a bunch of elites to overthrow a sitting president because they don’t like his charisma. Up until now I thought this only happened in third world countries but I guess I was wrong.
Yo, Jerry, we don’t want to hear about the crisis with your daily constitutional.
Deceiver Democrats...IOW Criminals
I can’t take Demonrats seriously anymore. The walls are closing in. Constitutional crises. blah blah blah.
Trump holds the only key to fighting this treachery.
At least, he says he holds the key.
There have always been people who dreamed of seizing the vast wealth and power of the USA for themselves, but in the past, it was inconceivable that any such thing could succeed.
Today, such people see the possibility that they could accomplish it. In fact, they almost did.
Why?
The Decadence of Western Civilization in America, the most fundamental evil of which is mendacity--scorn of truth, has produced a large number of people in the general population who are confused and unstable.
The counter-culture movement of the 1960s was the eruption into the open of Western Decadence, when the spoiled children, of the men and women who survived the Great Depression and the men who walked into machine-gun fire on the beaches of Normandy to rid the world of the Nazi horrors, sashayed onto the polished dance-floors, for which their forebears had sacrificed so much, chanting "sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll" and "if it feels good, do it." Their chants and their "new morality" has suffused the American main-stream culture.
Today these people (or their "spiritual" descendants) are in positions of power, and, of course, today we have a large number of maleducated "millennials."
It is these people who see the real possibility that they could seize control of the USA and its vast wealth, power, and other resources.
The Information Age, which offers such promise, has served to empower these people and has given them the powerful instrument of propaganda to advance their madness.
This is the basis of the mass psychosis that has seized America and has made it possible for the power-hungry to believe that they can actually seize control of the USA.
This time--or so it seems--their plot was foiled--and their consequent rage is furious.
Unless measures are taken now, another attempt will be made. It might succeed.
As for the Decadence, which is fundamental to the problem--President Trump and his supporters believe that it can be reversed, that it has not reached the point of no return in America. Pray that they are right. Pray that they will succeed.
Yes a group of powerful politicians (grown up from the hippy days) got together and are trying to overthrow a sitting president, again. Why? For power - political power their power. This time Hillary was supposed to win. The fix was in. Just as Hillary won the nomination against Bernie. The fix was in. But she lost and the Donald won. If one of the other republican contenders had won then the same Russia Russia Russia collusion, obstruction would have taken place. Again the stage was set. The insurance policy was in place. The end justifies the means. Let me reiterate if another republican had won the presidency against Hillary then the same accusations would be made to intimidate, embarrass, and force him from office. If it had been anybody else besides DJT he would have stepped down. Thank God we have someone who is willing to fight. MAGA!
Anything that liberals don't like, is a "crisis".
YES!
If present trends continue, Donald Trump will be the greatest President in US history!
History will record him as such.
MAGA!
