Roger Kimball: 'The Vast Attempt to Undo the 2016 Election Has Failed
American Thinker ^ | 03/24/2019 | Rick Moran

Posted on 03/24/2019 6:18:55 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

This is excellent from Roger Kimball, publisher of The New Criterion and Encounter Books, on the ultimate meaning of an unindicted Trump.

Spectator USA:

John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Sally Yates, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, John McCain, Christopher Steele, Glenn Simpson, and others did their best to undo the results of the 2016 election. The Mueller investigation was their not-so-secret weapon upon which vast hopes rested.

It has, unfortunately for them, been increasingly clear for some time that Robert Mueller was coming up empty-handed, at least on the main task, which was to unseat the President. Hence the newly energized efforts by Rep. Jerold Nadler and others to construct an ‘insurance policy’ in the form of impeachable offenses that might be brought against the president should, horrible dictu, Robert Mueller’s efforts at decapitation fail. As I wrote here a few weeks ago, ‘no one not named Bill Kristol now thinks that Mueller’s expensive, long-running entertainment will issue in any actionable charges against the president.’ Nevertheless, Nadler and his colleagues have opened a sweeping corruption probe in a desperate search for compromising tidbits from Donald Trump’s past business dealings that could plausibly form the basis for articles of impeachment.

It’s a fool’s errand. That chapter is closed. There may be a few backwards glances as the story moves forward, but moving forward it is, and not in a direction that the NeverTrump fraternity and the anti-Trump coven in the media and the government will like. Here we are just a day after Mueller pushed his report over the transom at Main Justice and we’re getting headlines like this: ‘As Russia collusion fades, Ukrainian plot to help Clinton emerges.”

And now, the consequences to all involved in this attempt must come. It has to happen. It was treason, plain and simple and they must pay the price. Go after them!

The next step in the Democrat’s script is to ignore everything and hope the public forgets about the scam. I want to know who got the money... every penny.

The estimate is about $50 Million.

Mr. President...now is the time to declassify documents proving conspiracy/corruption/debauchery of those in the highest levels of our government.

Now is the time to launch yet another independent counsel to investigate Dem collusion with the Russians, Dem/MSM collusion to pervert the election, DOJ/FBI brass attempting to obstruct an investigation of the Clinton's and their klan.

Fight back damn it! Fight back!

The Trump administration should do little to cooperate with the Rep. Jerold Nadler phony investigation.

Tell them to refer to the Muller report where they spent millions of dollars and over 2 years. Tell the democrats in congress to actually try to come up with something that would help the American people.

Yup, this has worked for the Dims in VA. Anyone hearing anything more about the racists and rapists running things there? Nope.

Why not be real transparent. Release everything about how we got to the Mueller Report. Release all the details of who
started the mess to reverse election results.

I believe that is Trump’s trump card.

If it keeps Pug-ugly and her gang busy so the Sanders' branch of their cabal can't do any more damage to the country with their "Soylent Green New Deal" or their "Health Insurance for All Illegals" plans, bring it on. I suspect that Nadler and his "Nattering Nabobs of Negativism" will come up with as big a goose egg as Mueller and his FBI thugs.

The Republicans should respond the the Dems. desire to release the Mueller Report secret contents to Trump should also release what he has been holding. The American People ought to know the real reasons why 40 million was spent. We also want to know why the media and Dems. lie everyday about Trump, while they are not doing anything to improve the American People’s lives. Too many wasted days and wasted nights on lies and liberal propaganda.

Perhaps sometime between 1956 and 1964, Donald Trump lifted a stick of gun from a corner store.

IMPEACH!!!!!

The dims will cry that they didn’t do anything wrong and that Trump is abusing his power by illegally retaliating against the fine and brave men and women of the FBI.

the only way now to get rid of Trump is through the kids. The commies in congress and in new york will go after them with a vengeance and when they are indicted Trump will quit.

Yep - time for Hillary's "We're all going to hang..." comment to come true - figuratively (at least). There are several cases where I'd pay for a front row seat to see it happen literally.

The successful coup happened on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009.
That set the stage for the treason that followed.
There will be no consequences because BOTH parties were involved.

The President needs to go on the attack. He has said all along that the investigation was a witch hunt, something now beyond dispute. Although the President cannot and should not dictate whom or how the DOJ investigates, he can make his position clear to AG Barr. The President should use his power to declassify the FISA materials in an effort to inform the public of the nature of the attempted coup. By doing so, he, and vast swaths of the American public, will be encouraging the DOJ to investigate those who have tried to undermine the very fabric of our Republic. All of these actions by the President should be done with his eye on 2020. The contrast between what he has accomplished and the underhanded efforts of the Left to undermine him will make clear the stark choice offered in the next election.
