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.
Give this guy two weeks to finish! It’s a job not a career!
Ricardo Hizon I’m on the hunt, what you got?! SMMFH!
Not to be trusted.
The Republican majorities in Congress can just block any eventual calls for impeachment, by the Special Counsel, the Democrats, or their own constituents.
In that case, Trump could issue pardons for all Trump Administration officials indicted for any crimes other than treason and bribery. He cannot pardon himself but he can also not be prosecuted while in office. So if he is succeeded by a Republican, he will eventually be pardoned. If a Democrat succeeds him, he will have to fight it out in the courts.
The Republicans currently favor a healthcare bill with a 17% approval rating among registered voters, so supporting massively unpopular policy is nothing new to them.
The only variable that I see is whether or not, in the end, the Republicans in Congress will honor their oaths of office. You are prepared to bet REAL money that they won’t. That is probably a shrewd bet.
I don’t regret Hillary losing the election, rather I am just fascinated by the extraordinary history that is being played out every day. I don’t have a horse in the race.
Snake
And she was charged with how many murders?
Stale f**e news.
Eric L Runion the “right thing” as defined or wanted by Europeans? Such as open borders, trade deals that favor them over the US? No thanks, those numbers are right where we want them.
