Vlad: I'm in deep shït here, can you help —
anyway
possible would be just fine
A couple of key highlights:
From Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who has
led the minority on the House Intelligence Committee in its doomed
investigative efforts over the last year to get to the bottom of Trump’s
Kremlin ties had this to say: “There has been a systematic effort to stymie the committee
by the GOP’s obstructionist and highly partisan – there is no evidence to
support any “spy theory. This is just … a piece of propaganda the president
wants to put out and repeat.”
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) now is equally
blunt in his recent weekend TV show comments re: Trump’s latest “Spygate” illogic
explained this way in an acid-etched interview: “I have not seen any evidence that
the FBI spied on the Trump campaign. What I have seen is evidence that they
were investigating individuals with a history of links to Russia that were
concerning. It appears that there was an investigation not of the campaign, but
of certain individuals who have a history that we should be suspicious of, that
predate the presidential campaign of 2015, 2016. And when individuals like that
are in the orbit of a major political campaign in America, the FBI, who is in
charge of counterintelligence investigations, should look at people like that.”
Trump’s aggressive propaganda against any public
airing of his secret Kremlin ties has taken many mendacious forms since his
inauguration.
• In early
2017, the president claimed that he had been wiretapped.
That lie which, coincidentally was not true and turned out to be of Russian origin also fell apart.
• Trump then
tried out the accusation that members of his campaign had been improperly unmasked in top-secret
intelligence documents. That was a lie likewise and it withered away under its
own dishonesty.
• Now he and
the White House insist that it was “spied” on illegally by the FBI. That too is
a noxious myth and is slowly dying as well outside the feverish swamps of Trump
bitter-enders — as it deserves to do.
My 2 cents: The whole story continues at the
link above – it is for sure worth the time and effort to read and examine it –
but the real question is simple and yet still complex: What now?
A lot is about to fall out from all this and hopefully
come together in the Mueller final report to the DOJ and then logically they
will pass it along to Congress at the same time reading it in a public address
since.
The next move would be up the Congress – house first
and hopefully the Senate for final decision – yes, I’m talking about articles
of impeachment in the house and Senate trial and removal of Trump from office and
the sooner the better for the country.
That process of course
may or may not be up the all GOP-run House assuming two key things: (1) The GOP is not in control of
Congress after the November mid-terms, and (2) Trump does not pull a Nixon and
resign after he sees the handwriting on the wall about impeachment.
So, stay tuned.
Thanks for stropping by – the heat is on for sure.
