Move On From Mueller, Mr. President (says Tokyo Rove)
Wall Street Journal ^ | Karl Rove | March 27, 2019 7:06 p.m. ET

Only Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2017 could have been a sweeter day for the present occupants of the White House than last Sunday. The publication of Attorney General William Barr’s letter summarizing special counsel Robert Mueller’s report lifted an enormous political weight off President Trump and his team.

Mr. Mueller found no evidence that “the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.” Mr. Barr concluded “the evidence developed” during the Mueller investigation “is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense.” These findings demolished the principal “resistance” talking points, leaving many Democrats angry and discombobulated.

Some, especially in the House, will keep pushing for impeachment. This will enthuse many in the party’s hard-core base, but swing voters trust the Mueller investigation’s core findings and its leader. Speaker Nancy Pelosi knows obsessing over impeachment will benefit Mr. Trump and Republicans, but she will find it hard to contain her caucus’s overeager members. Witness Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, doubling down Tuesday on allegations of collusion.

The president and his allies have raised concerns about how the Federal Bureau of Investigation brought on this investigation, especially pointing to possible abuse in seeking Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants. Did the FBI tell FISA that information supporting the warrant requests came from opposition research bankrolled by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic Party?

These questions should be answered, but Mr. Trump need not devote much time to pressing them. He can count on Mr. Barr, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz to continue cleaning up the FBI and Justice Department. Mr. Horowitz is already investigating possible FISA abuses.

I *do* care what Rove has to say.

If he wants us all to forget about the attempted coup of an American President, I want us all to remember HE WAS IN FAVOR OF IT.

Rove was the Einstein who told Dubya not to push back against critics, not to “relitigate,” while Bush was being systematically slandered and his administration’s efficacy dismantled.

Turdblossom, for sure.

Translation: Close the investigation ASAP before voters find out the true involvement of the GOP in FISA.

Karl Rove got credit for the election victory of GWB. Truth was that Algore was so unelectable, Bush would have polled better without him.

To me, Rove is unintentionally signaling the Bushes involvement in the coup.
