Tragedy Tomorrow, Comedy Tonight

That’s the title of a great song in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, and that, it occurs to me, is an appropriate song for the media and the Democrats. For two years they vigorously promoted -- for their amusement and political benefit -- a fake Russian collusion story and now must watch it unravel and boomerang on them, their allies and the miscreants who created it. They had their fun, and the denouement has begun.

This Week’s Hearings

There were two hearings on the Mueller report this week, one before the Senate Judiciary Committee and another before the House Judiciary Committee. The Senate hearings were marked by such silly questions and vituperative charges, often by senators who are seeking the party’s nomination and want publicity, that I was tempted to simply repeat some of them for laughs. Other developments, which I will explain, preempted that plan, but I cannot resist this exchange between the fabulist Senator Richard Blumenthal, who faked his war record, and the attorney general:

“Did you or anyone, either you, or anyone on your staff memorialize your conversation with Robert Mueller?” Blumenthal asked Barr.

“Yes,” replied Barr.

“There were notes taken of the call,” Barr said in response to Blumenthal asking who took the memos.

“May we have those notes?” Blumenthal asked.

“No,” Barr promptly replied.

“Why not?” Blumenthal shot back.

“Why should you have them?” Barr replied.

Not since Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld have I seen such terse, justifiable dismissal of blather and not since Edwin Meese have a seen a Republican attorney general who wasn’t a timid wretch.

"For two years they vigorously promoted -- for their amusement and political benefit -- a fake Russian collusion story and now must watch it unravel and boomerang on them..."

In a fair, just America, this would be the case. At this point, we can only hope.

Praying I'm wrong, but can easily see the next IG report(s) and Barr investigations being the mother-of-all Lucy football pullbacks...

Never underestimate the resolve of evil Dems, Deep State players, the MSM and a handful of Republican squishes working together to mischaracterize and undermine justice.

That doesn't leave many true patriots to get the job done.

AG Barr was magnificent at times during the hearings. Loved it!

Hope it continues...

They did way more than promote a fake Russian collusion story. They fabricated evidence to frame a president. They employed foreigners to entrap America citizens. They collaborated with a corrupt media to leak sensitive data. They illegally spied on a presidential campaign They antagonized Russia, a dangerous foe.
Now they are obstructing justice by attacking the AG.


Imagine if the Watergate burglars were being directed by the CIA and FBI and besides the break in they planted evidence to have George McGovern arrested. Now imagine the MSM blindly supported their criminal behavior AND the Watergate hearings were a show trial to prosecute and defame Democrat operatives.

Bravo AG Barr! Stand up to these arrogant asses.

and a handful of Republican squishes

fortunately, those squishes will run and hide once real, damnable facts start coming out and indictments follow. Barr knows exactly what has happened and moved quickly to shut down the Mueller investigation. I'm gaining confidence he will vigorously pursue wrongdoers.

My wife and I were just watching CNN and one of the empty-headed,female lefty journo-commentators was salivating and wondering if America could see the notes from the Barr-Mueller phone call.... all would be good.

She went on to breathlessly ruminate: "If we had those notes ....... this could be THE SMOKING GUN."

My wife and I were nearly on the floor laughing. The CNN feminazi's words brought back memories of Rosemary Woods doing her stretching excercizes in the White House.

ROFL
