One can imagine a future in which Democrats, reflecting on our present, are shouting to their past selves, “Walk away!” As I will show below, the Democrat’s continued obsession with opening the pandora’s box of the Mueller report will only make things worse for the get-Trump crowd as the hoax chickens increasingly come home to roost.
Politico recently reported the Special Counsel’s office rapidly wound down operations after delivering the report to Attorney General Barr. It took most of a weekend for Barr to wade through the report before issuing the summary. Calls for a full, unredacted release of the report could not be immediately accommodated because virtually everything in the report remained a tangled mess of grand jury information, classified information, and innuendo that the DoJ could not ethically release in the absence of an indictment. This, in contrast to the Starr report on then-President Bill Clinton which was drafted in a form ready for public release, the Mueller report inexplicably requires additional work to get the lion share into the public domain. Why, Byron York asked, would the Mueller team not prepare the report for public release? Why force the Attorney General to spend the time to comb through the materials to redact and excerpt the materials which must not be released. Didn’t the attorney with oversight, Rod Rosenstein, publicly warn Americans that uncharged conduct could not be released into the public domain? Isn’t that exactly one of the reasons that Rosenstein supported the dismissal of James Comey? The answer portends disaster for the Trump/Russia hoax truthers.
Mueller’s team has played dirty from the start. Contrary to the public narrative that the team was “leak-proof,” the opposite is actually true. As I recently wrote, “It has been three years of innuendo and leaks, leaks, leaks, leaks, and uncountably more examples of leaks dripping poison into the poison-addicted pens of the partisan media. The Mueller team has never had to prove anything involving Trump-Russian collusion to anyone because the special counsel needs no proof to function as a potent political weapon.” To name two awful examples: the leak of the Cohen/Trump audio recording that appears to have been seized by the Feds and the leak of the written questions to the President. Add to that list a new leak reported by the New York Times, “Some of Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators have told associates that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated, according to government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations.” Did you get that? Anonymous sources claiming to be familiar with other anonymous sources on the Mueller team are the source for the New York Times article. Double secret hearsay. My editor would laugh in my face if I tried to publish an article with such flimsy of sourcing. But no standard is too low in the pursuit of getting Trump.
I asked a friend of mine what she thought would be in the Mueller report. “Only one of two things: lies or nothing.” We have reason to think exactly that based upon a little-noticed release of a letter from Senator (hero) Charles Grassley to the Special Counsel in which he chastised the Special Counsel for misleading Americans in the public indictment of George Papadopolous. As noted by Fox News, the public filings of Mueller strongly implied that the Trump campaign was looking for opportunities to meet and coordinate with the Russians when the actual emails spelled out the exact opposite. “In the full context, the emails in question actually show that the Trump Campaign wanted someone ‘low level’ to decline these types of invitations,” Grassley and Graham wrote to Barr.
The Special Counsel team has fled the stage, hopefully under a cloud of embarrassment. The failure to segregate the report to make it ready for public release leaves a smokescreen to cover their exit without accountability. But when this smoke eventually clears, the Democrats will get their hands on something resembling the entire report. And then what?
Then, the Democrats will have one of two things: Lies or nothing. If the report contains uncharged smears against the President, the Democrats will be forced to use their majority in the House to impeach leading to an inevitable disastrous trial in the Senate. A band of bloggers, writers, and select members of Congress have for two years waged a successful counter-resistance against the hoax and we’re ready for the last battle. If the final report contains nothing, then the President receives a full-throated exoneration. There’s no scenario in which the release of the full report helps the hoax boosters. I’ll say it again, bring it on.
Wouldn’t bet the farm on that particular pass getting completed...
Never forget, the Democrat “ base” is, in reality, a very small group of billionaires and mainstream media execs. They are who the Democrats must please.
Shameless Democrats don’t walk away from anything until they run out of someone else’s money.
Stupid & Bull Headed re totally intertwined.
I would smile at release of the unredacted report in that I think it would be highly damaging to the Democrats but I am not for doing that as it would be breaking laws to do it and if our guys are going to go after the lawbreakers that built this mess then they need to do it without breaking more laws. And if the report is released unredacted, the Social Democrats will go after any perceived Trump partisans who said anything to the Grand Jury to ruin as many lives as possible.
who wrote those laws?
But those are the normally brain dead democrat voters anyway so they don't really matter.
What I have seen is lots of non-political people becoming so enraged at the fakeness of the news and the way that the President has been treated that they are planning to vote for him (even if they don't personally like him) just out for spite for the leftists.
I believe 2020 is going to be a Trump landslide of biblical proportions. (and the democRATs keep doing everything they can to fan those flames. I should buy stock in popcorn!!)
+1!
I hope you're right!
