I agree, and I think they’re skating on thin ice. I wasn’t aware until this week how much leeway Rosenstein’s order gives Mueller, not sure how I missed it.
Watching this unfold is similar to a movie with multiple story lines all interwoven. It appears to be a story about taking down a duly elected president and as bad as some think the president is, they will be unprepared for the wrath of half the country if they succeed.
I think this is as serious and consequential a period as was the Civil War era for our country. Some days I’m optimistic. This isn’t one of them.
I don’t disagree with your thoughts there.
I will say that I am sure folks on the Left pretty much saw the treatment of the Clinton presidency to be along these lines. They weren’t, but I’m sure they still saw it that way.
The Clinton investigations were all about high level crimes.
IMO < the defense of Clinton did serious damage to our government. We’re seeing it in this contrived investigation of Trump, sort of a pay-back, and yet there was no substance to the initial charges.
With Clinton, there was massive substance. When the House formulated the charges against Clinton, they didn’t do their work. They should have laid out the specific valid charges. What they did charge him with was peanuts.
Then Bob Dull refused to hold the Senate trial.
Here we are, with the Democrats going for the throat, something we didn’t really do.
Dole treated that nanny from Little Rock (Chelsea’s nanny) as if she was some poor persecuted soul. Never mind she reportedly received the notification of Foster’s death before he was even declared dead.
Dole made it sound like only kooks would want to hear her testimony. She sat there in the Senate, ready to testify and he didn’t even allow it.
It was around that time that I realized our government was severely broken.
