Politico: 'Republicans Gleefully Pounced on the Special Counsel’s Statement'
Newsbusters ^ | March 24, 2019 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 03/24/2019 6:30:23 PM PDT by PJ-Comix

Perhaps the revelation of the long-awaited Robert Mueller report is a good time for the mainstream media in general, and Politico in particular, to finally retire that hackneyed meme, "Republicans pounced." For at least a year that worn out term has been used whenever Republicans have responded to erroneous Democrat or liberal positions. It didn't matter how much in the wrong the Democrats were, if Republicans offered any kind of reply or correction, it was often translated by the MSM as "Republicans pounced."

The latest (and can we hope, last) instance has come with the release of the Mueller report in which no collusion by Trump nor any of his campaign team with the Russians to influence the 2016 election was found. So when Republicans responded to that finding of no collusion, Politico reporters John Bresnehan and Heather Caygle resurrected the "Republicans pounced" meme once again on Sunday in "Battle over Mueller's probe moves to Capitol Hill."

They are also always lashing out. Like Lash LaRue with his blacksnake whip, lashing away like a house afire.

Like the ‘rats wouldn’t have pounced on the report had it suggested even a whiff of collusion on Trump’s part......

The Leftist Lickspittle Media’s favorite verb used in reference to Republicans or conservatives: POUNCE!

Haha, Schadenfreude!

Ok I’ll own it this time:
Yes, I pounced. And I will continue to pounce and scream from the rooftops that a cabal of seditious bastards tried to overthrow a duly elected President of the United States for no other reason that their own insatiable hunger for power. As to their mindless brain dead drone followers, they need to have this stuffed into every orifice every day between now and the election. Wake the hell up you f’in idiots! How I despise these scum

Republicans always pounce (MM- sometimes), because they are wildcats, not pussies like the Democrats.

Send a couple hundred Pink Pussy hats over to the Dems in Congress. They’re gonna need them.

Sarah, I think you really missed what the RATs have been up to. The reason they are fighting so disgracefully and brutally, is that they know that unless they stop Trump, their party is heading for the ash heap of history. For most of my life, the RATs “tolerated” an occasional Republican President, so long as they didn’t do anything substantive (which is nearly 100% true). Trump has presented the RATs with their “holy $hit this guy means business” moment, and they are scared to death that unless they run him out of office, he will do the same to the lot of them.

I am more concerned with what has been done to the Rule of Law and the Constitutional Rights of American citizens who helped get Donald Trump elected.

Trump is still a billionaire, and still a president. He still has his houses (plural). He still has his liberty. He wanted this office, and got it. I feel less sorry for him than for Michael Caputo or Michael Flynn.

I do not care what Paul Manafort or Michal Cohen did. They were targeted by illicit lawfare under the color of law.

Apparently I am alone in caring about those who are not POTUS.

Exactly the same for me, too.

The guy did tell it.

Good we have at least one Brit on our side.

Politico gleefully pounced on Republicans’ reaction to a Nothingburger.

And to be able to cover up their crimes... Don't forget about their crimes..
With any luck at all, a whole bunch of those clowns should be going to the slammer... Including the Hildabeast..!! :)

We must come together and call for the literal deaths of the conspirators.

Their conspiracy to overthrow the government forfeited their right to continue living
