The Mueller Rout

Another short read by the gentleman who gives us "The Week In Pictures."

THE MUELLER ROUT

"I’m on an airplane right now with the usual crappy airborne internet service, but watching the breaking news of AG Barr’s summary of the Mueller Report. It is a complete rout for Democrats and the media, notwithstanding the confused section about possible obstruction of the investigation by Trump. Expect Democrats to cling to this slim reed to keep The Resistance ginned up. But that slim reed is very likely to snap off underneath them pretty fast. In fact, if I were inclined to devious thinking (who, me?), I’d almost think Mueller and Barr wrote that problematic obstruction passage just to keep the Democrats in full beclowning mode. For Democrats, the Mueller Report has turned out to be the Fyre Festival of investigations. ...."

After Mueller's Exoneration of Trump, Full Disclosure

After Mueller’s Exoneration of Trump, Full Disclosure

By ANDREW C. MCCARTHY March 23, 2019 11:13 AM

Source: National Review

"......Well, if we’re going to have disclosure, fine. But let’s have full disclosure: Mueller’s report in addition to the FISA applications; the memoranda pertinent to the opening and continuation of the investigation; the testimony in secret hearings; the scope memorandum Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein issued on August 2, 2017, after failing to cite a crime when he appointed Mueller — let’s have all of it.

As far as the special counsel’s report goes, because of the way the regulations work (at least when the Justice Department deigns to follow them), we now have Mueller’s bottom line, but not his reasoning and the underlying facts. It is the opposite of the Trump opposition’s preferred Roger Stone and George Papadopoulos scenario, where Mueller’s team spins pages and pages of “Gee, sure seems like a lot of almost-collusion here” before you flip to the end and find that there’s no case — just a campaign hanger-on who lied to an investigator long after the imaginary espionage conspiracy occurred. At the moment, we just have Mueller’s conclusion: There is no basis to indict the president for a crime — not collusion, not obstruction, not false statements. The collusion-peddlers, who took great umbrage at the suggestion that “VERIFIED” FISA surveillance-warrant applications should be disclosed, now demand Mueller’s full report so they can get to the familiar work of obscuring the bottom line and spinning the spin.

As we’ve noted before, unlike Mueller, who needs a crime to indict, Congress does not need a crime to impeach. The media-Democrat alliance does not need a crime to inflate Mueller’s not-quite-so stories into treason. To keep this carnival rolling on for another year and a half, they just need fodder for the narrative — which is so predictably morphing from the collusion narrative to the impeachment narrative to the campaign narrative. ....."

"......There was no need for a special counsel. And there was no case — again, obviously. Mueller never charged any Trump associate with any kind of espionage conspiracy. As we’ve pointed out repeatedly, when prosecutors have a conspiracy case, they induce the cooperating accomplice witnesses to plead guilty to the conspiracy and implicate the other conspirators at the time of the plea. Mueller, instead, pled his putative accomplices to process crimes of lying to investigators, and to massive fraud crimes that had nothing to do with Trump or Russia. No competent prosecutor builds a case that way — and Mueller is an exceptionally competent prosecutor....."

Numbers Don't Lie: Trump's Free Speech Executive Order Could Cost Colleges Billions

They never thought she would lose. I remember when hillary was first lady, that she rolled out the PC brigade. She was hell bent on changing the way we talked the way we defined things and it's been full speed ahead since. Nice to see the pendulum swing back in the other direction.

Greenwald: Coping Strategies For All Russiagate Peddlers Now In Mourning

Did the sale of teddy bears, quiet rooms and pacifiers just go up?

Greenwald: Coping Strategies For All Russiagate Peddlers Now In Mourning

"The Intercept's Glenn Greenwald has some advice for the mainstream media and pundit class, already in mourning —  or perhaps in the initial "denial stage" of grief —  on how to cope after it's now glaringly evident that Mueller is to indict zero Americans for conspiring with Russia to influence the 2016 election. ..."

"....With final collapse of the narrative, Greenwald said further, it is crucial  to recall the following: "It's absolutely true nobody benefited more from the endless stream of Trump/Russia bull<censored> than MSNBC.  It saved careers & that network. It generated huge ratings."

"It enabled them to sell best-selling books to deluded followers. It turned them into stars.  It was a 2-year party," he concluded.

Now the party's over. ...."

SPLC Implodes: President And Legal Director Resign Amid Sexual Misconduct Scandal
