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.
They just can’t keep Obama out of their mouth
RosaAna Gonzalez-Blum nothing makes me laugh harder than a fat female Trump supporter
This is looking more and more like a politically motivated witch hunt that is beyond bias. It is beginning to look like a political assassination attempt by the Democrats. If they think that they will nit pick Trump into impeachment this investigation will become the bullet that they will use to shoot their precious party in the foot.
Asst Att. Gen. Rosenstein should not have ever appointed Mueller as the special prosecutor to investigate Trump! Mueller is now more concerned to find dirt on Trump than all the wrongs the Democrats has done! The first thing Mueller did as hire associates to work with him that were Clinton people & supporters! We can than Att Gen Session for this! It appears both Mueller & Rostenstein needs to fired & Sessions had better clean up his act or he needs to go! What you think!
Rid him
Leave
Should have thought a lot about this way before….
This scumbag is another Obama/Marxist operative delegated to extend the disruption of the agenda which Trump was elected to fulfill. He keeps expanding his “investigation” hoping to find something that will stick, but is furthering the Marxist political goal of compromising the presidency.
He shouldn’t even have a job, all based on allocations from dingbats. We have evidence of crimes by Barry, killary, Holder, Lynch and others and nothing not a word.
James Smith-
Trump is responsible for his words and his actions. He sees no problem getting opposition research from Russia and is unaware that this is against the law and that by conspiring with Russia to break US laws, he makes himself vulnerable to manipulation by Russia. Having our President answering to Putin under threat is not in the interests of the nation.
It puts into question, for example, why Trump discontinued support for anti-Assad rebels in Syria. This is a big win for Russia and a big loss for America.
Is this an example of Putin playing his Trump card?
How about Trump’s great idea to partner with Russia on cyber security?
Undermining NATO?
The Russian interference in the election, though providing Trump with much of his messaging through the campaign, was not decisive. Hillary had defeated Trump and Russia and wikileaks going into the campaign’s final two weeks. It was Comey’s interference which delivered the victory to Trump.
The allegations against Hillary that you raise have largely been examined by Republican led congressional investigations and FBI investigations. It is very unlikely there is anything actionable there. But regardless, it is irrelevent to the much more consequential Special Counsel Investigation of Trump.
James, your analysis is a mile wide and half an inch deep.
