MYSTERY QREEPER SENDS THIS IN:
Media reacts to Mueller-geddon
Don Surber
The media thought Mueller would bring the impeachment finally of President Donald John Trump. Instead, Mueller’s testimony made impeachment a joke. His rambling answers to questions that had to be repeated several times symbolized the incoherency of the Democrat resistance.
They have accused President Trump of so many things that turned out to be untrue so many times that the media is no longer believed by an overwhelming number of people. Only 1% trust all media and only 17% trust most media.
The cable channels, newspapers, and White House press corps became obsessed with removing the president from office. They made the Creepy Porn Lawyer a celebrity believing, falsely, that Real Americans would rise and revolt over the claim that his client had sex with Donald Trump back when he was a TV star.
We elected a Playboy billionaire president because none of the virgins could get the job done.

After a few years of nonsense allegations and self-righteous denunciations by the media, the left went all in on the Mueller Report.
It vindicated President Trump.
There was no indictment of him or anyone in his campaign or his administration. The Paul Manafort indictment was for events that happened long before he joined the campaign, briefly, as its manager.
But in the 21st century, the news media reports emotions not facts. After the Mueller Report bombed in March, Democrats tried a summer rerun on Wednesday.
It went as expected. Mueller was so bumbling that it came off as “Weekend at Mueller’s.”
This morning the reviews were in. They fell into three categories: honest, dishonest, and Fantasy Island.
Politico reported, “Mueller’s appearance was a disappointment to many Democrats, as the former FBI director stumbled at times, even seeming unsure of the contents of his 448-page report on Russian election interference and Trump’s efforts to obstruct the investigation.”
The story said Pelosi and Jerry Nadler — the egg-shaped chairman of the committee that brought in Mueller — are at loggerheads over this. My guess is Nadler now ranks below the Squawk Squad on Pelosi’s invitation list.
Peter Baker of the New York Times wrote, “For House Democrats, who have been debating among themselves the virtues and wisdom of impeaching Mr. Trump if a Republican-controlled Senate would most likely not convict him, the day made clear that Mr. Mueller would not resolve that question by himself. At the least, they concluded there would not there be a huge popular groundswell absent new evidence or some other change in circumstance, meaning that lawmakers were left to make the difficult decision whether to proceed or not on their own.”
I liked that paragraph. What a delightfully fluffy way to say nothing burger.

Susan B. Glasser of the New Yorker wrote, “Finally, Washington (Sort of) Agrees on Something: Mueller Bombed.”
She wrote, “The concerns about Mueller’s halting performance were not mere theatre criticism. He was unable to defend his report and its findings beyond simply referring lawmakers to the text, over and over again. In his effort not to be trapped by Democrats into suggesting that Trump should be impeached, Mueller did a disservice to his own work. He did not need to make new assertions of law or fact but merely explain in clear terms the conclusions he reached and why. There was not one moment when he did so.”
The reason he could not explain his conclusions was because it was not based on the law or fact, but rather on emotion. My goodness, Mueller pushed for an obstruction of justice charge because President Trump tweeted mean things about this witch hunt.
Ken Starr gave Republicans something to impeach Clinton on: perjury and suborning perjury.
Mueller gave Democrats his butt hurt.
Sarah Kendzior is a crazy woman who writes for the Globe and Mail in Toronto. I call her crazy because she reported a Conan O’Brien joke as a statement from Ivanka Trump, which led to a cycle or two of anti-Trump frothing by the media back in December 2016 or so.
Naturally Kendzior’s take on the hearing was juiced with inanity. The Globe and Mail headlined it, “Mueller acted like a man terrified to state the obvious. The question remains: Why?”
She wrote, “Throughout the hearings, Mr. Mueller acted as if outside forces constrained his ability to answer questions. But he is no longer an employee of the Department of Justice, and they can no longer tell him what to say. The decision to narrow the scope of the questions and even his method of response (he refused to read his own report out loud) was Robert Mueller’s.”
Oh no. Putin’s gotten to Mueller.
Scott Jennings of CNN — an actual Republican strategist — summed up what happened and what should be next.
He wrote, “The partisan warfare over the Mueller report will rage, but one thing cannot be denied: Former President Barack Obama looks just plain bad. On his watch, the Russians meddled in our democracy while his administration did nothing about it.”
He also said, “Two years have been spent fomenting the idea that Russia only interfered because it had a willing, colluding partner: Trump. Now that Mueller has popped that balloon, we must ask why this collusion narrative was invented in the first place.”
If the media were interested in anything besides overturning the 2016 election, they would be parked outside Obama’s home in Kalorama waiting to ask him about Russia the moment he came outside.
But the media deals pursues emotions, not facts.
Which is why Mueller’s testimony was their saddest day since 8 NOV 16.
Let’s make 3 NOV 20 even sadder for them.

‘Doubling down’ is Donald Trump’s greatest triumph

I once heard Lewandowski tell a story in an interview about being with Trump in the Trump corporate helicopter when he found out Manafort was a scumbag. IIRC, Trump exclaimed - paraphrased - ‘I have a crook running the campaign?’. He had the pilot go down to cell phone range and Trump called Manafort in an expletive filled rant. Manafort was shortly fired. I can’t find a full accounting of that episode.
