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.
Christopher Shocklee Other matters? Do you mean like the Democrats trying to impeach him for no reason other than that they don’t like his tweets? Or like them trying to prove he was involved with Russia in the election? Or like trying to find “something” to investigate him on? Or maybe even an “investigation” into how he “shakes hands”??? There has been one obstruction after another from the Democrats. He’s having a hard time getting anything done, and it’s because the Democrats are still crying because their murdering Hillary didn’t win!! If your party would just grow up and start acting like adults, he COULD get something done!
Ricardo Hizon You speak as if you know!!!
A wolf in sheep’s clothings.
All this Russia nonsense doesn’t take away the fact that the emails exposed corruption at every level of the Democrats program.
ChristopherShocklee- President Donald Trump would be able to do a whole lot more if he wasn’t constantly blocked, , accused and degraded by the Democrates and the Democrat media, whom are paid by the Democrats with WE THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA HARD EARNED MONEY PAID BY US FOR THE RUNNING OF THE UNITED STATES, NOT PAY OFFS TO DESTROY AMERICA.
Kevin,
Agree. Any allegations of corruption or collusion that have merit should be investigated by the appropriate authority.
Obviously, the Ds liked Trump when he was a D. Had Trump run as a D, the Rs would be doing a more vicious number on him then the Ds are now doing.
Trump needs to include the Ds in the process, you know, negotiate. And he needs to make more appointments. The vast majority of these positions do not yet have nominees named.
Regarding the media taking the bait and running with whatever Trump says, that is the way it works. When the Prez talks the world listens, parses, reacts, etc.
Kris,
Yes, on-going investigations and such.
It is not incumbent upon the Ds to give tge Prez a pass on criminal activity. That said, the Ds are the minority party. They have no say in this government and accordingly, they are not responsible for Trump’s problems or anything else.
He can no longer be trusted to preform an unbiased investigation, the people he brought on board proves this fact.
Greg,
They are two distinct situations, agreed. At this time, I suspect that allegations against the President of the United States will have more significance than those against a private citizen.
Had Hillary been elected, would anyone care about Trump’s indiscretions?
Kristina,
Trump is the POTUS. He is the great deal-maker. He has the opportunity to lead, but he chose to go with a one party government.
Trump’s failure to move on his agenda is not the fault of a powerless minority party that doesn’t worship him like his$#%&!@*supporters.
And, the latter part of your post doesn’t make sense.
He needs to go. He’s heavily biased to the left.
THE DEMOCRATS ARE TERRIFIED THAT THE TRUTH ABOUT THEIR ACTIONS WILL COME OUT!..THEY ARE IN A FIGHT TO THE DEATH TO PROTECT A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT WILL GO DOWN!…I JUST CANT WAIT..IT WILL HAPPEN AND MSM IS INVOLVED TOO!
