Victor Davis Hanson: Mueller Probe Could Backfire on Those Who Fabricated Russia-Collusion Narrative
The Epoch Times ^ | 4/17/19 | American Thought Leaders

Posted on 04/19/2019 10:45:07 AM PDT by OddLane

In this episode of American Thought Leaders we sit down with Hoover Institution and National Review Institute fellow, historian Dr. Victor Davis Hanson, who recently published the book “The Case for Trump.”

We discuss Dr. Hansen’s new book, and how his observations about the Mueller investigation and the related extraordinary efforts by various parties to remove the president from office have matured since the time of the book’s writing. We further explore President Trump’s unorthodox strategy to engage the American electorate.

We also discuss how President Trump’s approach to America can be seen as an attempt to solve a crisis of her spirit, and how both current events and historical precedent position the president for 2020.

I’ve watched the first 25 minutes or so. He has a good grasp of the subject matter. The interview is the day before the release of the Mueller report. At around 20:30 he opines that the hunters are going to be the hunted. 20:00 to 24:30 is worth a listen.

The only “heroes” are Zero & Hellary. You probably can prosecute everyone else easily. I doubt if anyone else has irrationality bought to the personality cult that exists for Zero & Hellary. There is no Podesta Cult, Brennan Cult, etc. like exists for Hellary & Zero. (The Zero Cult is the obvious “1st Black President Race Card” Cult - Don’t leave home without it!) I think you could even prosecute Slick!

Aside: the V card for Hellary is unbelievably powerful the number of seemingly rational even conservative women I know that still carry water for Hellary is amazing! Compared to the race card its more powerful. I Think the race card is starting to lose its sting.

Thanks for the recommendation. If his writing is as good as Case, I think I could read his account of just about anything

Trump is Trump but Trump is also human. We expect a helluva lot from him. It’s Trump, his family, and their close allies against an entrenched, gargantuan, and entitled bureaucratic elite in DC. Pitting them against all that will never be enough in the long run.

It took decades for the liberals to complete their long march through the institutions. It’ll take as long for dedicated individuals to complete the same march to wrest it out of their hands. Trump has started the new march. It’s up to us to follow him to complete it.

If you’re interested in WWII history his Hillsdale series on the war is excellent.

I just began that series last week. Are you printing out the suggested reading material for each section?

Carnage and Culture is a must read book. It’s the answer to Diamonds and Steel.

Hannity was a local mid-morning talker on before Boortz here, back in the day, and he was bad then. He’s no better. He reaches a beer-and-pretzel audience, though, so he has his uses, just not for me and anyone with a few brain cells to rub together.

Is James Comey losing his mind..?
Check out his tweet yesterday; what does this even MEAN..?

Maybe that's where Hillary's missing hard drives are buried, all the evidence implicating her and the democrats of treason are buried there. So many answers...

...someone that has done no more then talk a good game and then released a salacious report that resulted in no charges, and against doj/fbi policy I might add.

And you realize that President Trump wanted it released - right? And that he and his lawyers asked for zero redactions beyond the legally required ones and he never exercised any Executive Privilege to withhold any info and he provided every bit of access to his staff and to documents they wanted to try to use against him. Don't forget that Barr also made all that very clear and then pretty much dismissed the petty crap Mueller included to try to keep the Dem hopes alive.

President Trump is smart enough to know that the Dems won't let it go and that having the report released lets them howl but gives them no real meat to chew on...anyone listening to the Barr presser knows President Trump is innocent of all charges and that hurts the Dems...not him.
