The Washington Post, which has done everything in its dwindling power with articles, editorials and columns denouncing, demeaning and attempting to destroy President Trump, appears to have temporarily -- but only temporarily -- raised the white flag. A headline following former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's appearance before two House committees said: "Democrats struggle to figure next move against Trump after Mueller Hearing falls flat."
Democrats' hatred is so deep for the president, who refuses to submit to their demands -- the usual scenario for Republican presidents -- that they feel compelled to continue their attacks, if for no other reason than to raise 2020 campaign money.
Democrats thought they could spin Mueller's statement before the House Judiciary Committee following a question from Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), who said, "The reason that you did not indict the president is because of the OLC (Office of Legal Counsel at the Department of Justice) opinion that you cannot indict a sitting president, correct?"
Mueller agreed, but later before the House Intelligence Committee corrected himself: "I want to go back to one thing that was said this morning by Mr. Lieu, who said and I quote, 'You didn't charge the President because of the OLC opinion.' That is not the correct way to say it. As we say in the report and as I said at the opening, we did not reach a determination as to whether the President committed a crime."
At that moment you could almost hear the air escaping from the gasbags on the committee.
The other dubious Muller statement came in response to a question about the way attorneys were selected for his team and why all are Democrats. Mueller claimed they were hired because of their experience and he did not know their politics.
Think of it this way: if you put the names of 10 Democrats and 10 Republicans into a hat, what are the odds only the names of Democrats would be drawn?
Federal Election Commission records examined by CNN analysts found one of the Mueller attorneys contributed more than $56,000 to Democrats before the 2016 election and two lawyers contributed the maximum of $2,700 to Hillary Clinton's campaign. Mueller wants us to believe they conducted their investigation into collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia without political bias. Imagine if the situation was reversed and a special counsel had hired only Republican attorneys to investigate a sitting Democrat president.
Kimberley Strassel got to the heart of the investigation's bias in her Wall Street Journal column. She said it wasn't as much about what was investigated as what was ignored.
"The most notable aspect of the Mueller report," she wrote, "was always what it omitted: the origins of this mess. Christopher Steele's dossier was central to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's probe, the basis of many of the claims of conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. Yet the Mueller authors studiously wrote around the dossier, mentioning it only in perfunctory terms. The report ignored Mr. Steele's paymaster, Fusion GPS, and its own ties to Russians. It also ignored Fusion's paymaster, the Clinton campaign, and the ugly politics behind the dossier hit job."
Mueller said an estimated 200 times this and other related matters were "out of my purview," when they should have been central to it.
Unwilling, or unable, to give up, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) announced he will try to gain access to grand jury testimony, which would be illegal.
Yogi Berra famously said, "It ain't over 'til it's over. In the case of the Democrats' hatred of President Trump, it'll never be over. Let them run on that next year, along with promises to reverse the current economic and jobs boom, and they will deservedly lose.
Here’s a silly idea: How about working FOR America, instead of AGAINST it!
They need to ask him for their money back
It wasn’t THEIR money!!
Given past history, I would say that Stormy is about to make a return. The democrat plan to remove Trump is Russia, Racist, Stormy, rinse and repeat. They will never work for America as you suggest. It is against their DNA it seems.
That won’t happen. The only time the liberals are interested in helping anyone is when it falls in line with helping themselves.
Any “chink” in their armor is considered a weakness to them and they will kill and eat the injured dog. A liberal is like a muslim. They would die to protect the cause if it meant taking some of the enemy with them whether the enemy knows they are an enemy or not. And for some unjustifiable reason, this is considered admirable and makes them a saint. And they are all robotic as everyone is an enemy that does not blindly follow their cause. Conservatives have opponents, liberals have enemies. And they will fall on their swords, or have it stuck through them, in a heartbeat.

“What’s Next for Democrats Post-Mueller?”
Russian collusion investigation number 25.
Stormy is past her sell by date, and she's tied in with Avenatti, and they want everyone to forget they had him on CNN over 200 times one month.
The last woman they tried to trot out was so crazy, they gave up on her in a couple of days, saying "well, this should be investigated, but Trump's just impervious to this type of attack anymore. They're back to the old standby, "racist," but people aren't even bothering to do the standard genuflect before telling them to buzz off.
On policy, the "free everything for everybody" doesn't get traction anymore, cause it's being proven they can't and won't deliver.
"I'm still as sharp as a tack," Mueller tells Pelosi on his 'smart banana phone.'
Nadler's tryng to figure it out.....stay tuned....may take awhile.
Approximately the same as turning $1,000 to $100,000 by betting on dips in a rising cattle futures market.
There’s no post-Mueller. They’ll continue with their Russia, Russia, Russia.
To maintain enthusiasm of their base going into 2020 they need to keep their outrage machine viable by pursuing more investigations of Trump. It’s all they’ve got left in the wake of their calculated gamble that Mueller would give them the sound bites they desperately needed but didn’t.
> Think of it this way: if you put the names of 10 Democrats and 10 Republicans into a hat, what are the odds only the names of Democrats would be drawn?
In DC it doesn’t quite work like that. Every drawing for personnel choices there has 90 Democrats and 10 Republicans in it.
2021 (if Trump wins and the House remains in Democrat hands)
Mueller will once again be called to the House to testify.
Once again he will be said to have shown that Trump obstructed justice.
He won’t have done so.
“What’s next?”
I predict a hard left turn and pedal to the metal. But, how can they get as far left as Marx, Lenin and Stalin?
Well said!
How much more left can they go?
Exactly, but will they get it?
I don’t think they’re going to ever HAVE a Candidate again that isn’t hard left.
Their party is an absolute mess! And that makes me very, VERY happy. MAGA! :)
