Exposing the Hoax
Washington Examiner ^ | 05/28/20 | Andrew C. McCarthy

No need to build to a crescendo — let’s just say it: The Trump-Russia investigation was a politically driven fraud from beginning to end. It was opened on false pretenses, sustained by investigative abuses, and will undoubtedly end in recriminatory angst, which is what happens when the kind of accountability the victims demand does not, indeed cannot, come to pass.

Worst of all is the damage wrought, though even that isn’t fully understood. Obama administration officials exploited the awesome national security powers that we trust our government to use for counterintelligence operations that safeguard America from jihadists and other foreign hostiles. Because of the abuse, and the growing awareness that few of the abusers will be held to meaningful account, those powers have lost the solid constituency they had maintained in Congress for nearly two decades.

McCarthy gets as least one thing dead wrong in this article - that Sessions would have put an end to the farce if he had remained AG.


I somewhat agree because Sessions was afraid of the media. However, had he not recused himself and demanded to see the proof it simply was not there. I do not think Sessions would have appointed a special counsel until there was proof.

There were a lot of very bad actors in high places when Trump took over and they played a very dirty game to undermine his Presidency and try to get rid of him.

It is infuriating.
