You could be forgiven for having a difficult time following all the players in the continuing saga that has engulfed Congressional committees, the president, the FBI, the NSA, Russia, the Clintons, former FBI Director Comey, WikiLeaks, the media, and who know how many others. The old baseball adage fits: “You can’t tell the players without a scorecard.”
Continuing the baseball metaphor, part of the problem is that it’s not entirely clear who is on whose team. Or for that matter, it’s not clear how many teams there are.
When one sits down to write a piece about this turmoil, one question that comes to mind is how much do potential readers already know, and how much time should be spent rehearsing information in an attempt to help clarify things rather than to obfuscate — something our politicians do well enough anyway.
So when we begin a piece with the assertion that Special Counsel Mueller might be accused of doing the very thing former FBI Director Comey accused President Trump of doing, do your eyes just glaze over, or is this all crystal clear to you?
We’ll try to straighten this out and clarify things for you, as well as hopefully explaining why this is important on page two.
Mueller is a bought and paid Clinton crony, crooked as they come always has been
Good point about party over country as a congressional organizing principle.
The hot mike thing is nothing. Obama and Putin hated each other. Trump and Putin should just get a room.
The election scam was a Putin operation. Trump was the “useful idiot” of Putin’s dreams.
Here’s an analogy: democrats versus Trump is akin to George McClellan versus Sun Tzu.
Remember when Donald Trump was business partners with the Russian government and his company got 53 million from the Russian government investment fund called Rusnano that was started by Vladimir Putin and is referred to as “Putin’s Child”?
Oh wait, that wasn’t Trump it was John Podesta.
Remember when Donald Trump received 500 thousand for a speech in Moscow and paid for by Renaissance Capital, a company tied to Russian Intelligence Agencies?
Oh wait, that was Bill Clinton.
Remember when Donald Trump approved the sale of 20% of US uranium to the Russians while he was Secretary of State which gave control of it to Rosatom the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation?
Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton.
Remember when Donald Trump lied about that and said he wasn’t a part of approving the deal that gave the Russians 1/5 of our uranium, but then his emails were leaked showing he did lie about it?
Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton and John Podesta.
Remember when Donald Trump got 145 million dollars from shareholders of the uranium company sold to the Russians?
Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation.
Remember when Donald Trump accepted millions in donations from Russian Oligarchs like the chairman of a company that’s part of the Russian Nuclear Research Cluster, the wife of the mayor of Moscow, and a close pal of Putins?
Oh wait, that was the Clinton Foundation.
Remember when Donald Trump failed to disclose all those donations before becoming the Secretary of State, and it was only found out when a journalist went through Canadian tax records?
Oh wait, that was Hillary Clinton.
Remember when Donald Trump told Mitt Romney that the 80s called and it wanted its Russian policy back. The Cold War is over?
Oh wait, that was President Obama.
Man… Trump’s ties to Russia are really disgusting!
Christopher Shocklee -the election is still over and you still lost. There were no Russians where I or the almost 63 million people voted. Get over it.
I believe he is the one who should recuse himself. How are we to believe he is impartial when the very one bringing these charges is this man’s best friend. Then we see the team he put together us Hillary people. Anyone who believes this man is blinded by the corruption.
Donald Trump has worked tirelessly and he had done more for us in such months than Obama did, that was good in eight years.
He should step down, if for no other reason, he’s personal friends with Jim Comey, his top so called witness. Conflict of Interest.
He’s been in office for 7 months, how can he be a failure at this point.
Cheating was on the other side, and Collusion was rampant with the Democrats. What about the Saudi King who paid Hillary a huge amount for her election run. What about George Soros who said he list millions backing Clinton, when it was his voting machines being used in at least 17 states. Many people complained about those machines changing their votes. What about a California Governor telling Illegals to go and vote. I believe that also happened in Virginia. What about Obama before the 2012 election telling one of Putin’s men over a hot mic, he would be able to do all more for them after he won re-election. What was that? The collusion and Obstruction is in the Democratic party, President Trump in s not guilty, pure and simple with hunt conducted by the guilt party.
