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 & Co need dismissed/fired/replaced/kicked out, etc..don’t need even 1 of an Obama appointee doing anything in/of/for the WH
Why bother replying to a koolaid drinking moron with CNN talking points?
Let’s investigate where the million dollars generated from the baseball game went?
Donna Brown-
I agree with a fair amount of what you say.
JFK would probably have been rejected by the Trump folks and Bobby certainly would have been rejected as socialist, but these guys were charismatic, brilliant and inspiring.
The Democrats have lost their soul. They have lost the middle class. To regain favor, they have to move further left.
I don’t think you can lay 40 years of middle class struggle soley at the feet of the Democrats. Progress and capitalism have made much of our former evonomic infrastructures obsolete or uncompetitive. The Republicans has talked the talk that middle class America wanted to hear, but they are no friend to this constituency either, delivering more and more tax cuts to thr rich while doing very little to help those with less. The Democrats haven’t even talked the talk, seemingly surrendering this demographic without a fight. I saw that they are introducing some kind of economic plan as a focus for 2018. If they can find decent candidates, they should pick up somes seats. It will take a generation or two for the Democrats to regain parity at the state level.
I think that Hillary and Onama are over. Discussions of their political philosophies is more academic at this point. The conspiracy advocates enjoy their parlor games but they are being small and cowardly, attacking the candidate with nonsense tathrt than just dismantling their arguments with logic and fair mindedness. Stephanopolous was very pro-Hillary in the hotly contested primary. It is not surprising that he would have been shovelling some dirt on Obama, much like Cruz, Rubio, Scaramucci and others did about Trump. But then it becomes RvD and everything gets sorted and people are friends again.
Trump is dealing with such a weak hand with his lousy numbers and his outsider status. It will be next to impossible for him to improve healthcare. His propised tax cuts are too much even for the Republicans. I don’t know why he doesn’t move on infrastructure.
The Republicans of course deny it but the Russia business is the story here. This is on a Watergate flightpath. This will take another year or two to resolve. What a disaster!
Thanks for the thoughtful post.
Conflicts of interest
This guy is a menace
Eric Runion is just someone who had some posts on this article.
Fairly thoughtful comments. Caught a hail of insults and profanity from some real Americans.
Trump will fire Session’s so the new replacement can take over this corrupt investigation and put an end to it. Sessions should never recused himself..do you think a Democrat AG would of? Lol never in a million yrs
Mueller has made the counsel invalid with his choices
Fire this$#%&!@*already.
