The release of the Mueller report should have finally silenced President Trumps Democrat critics who for two years have fueled the false narrative that he and his campaign colluded with the Russian government to win his election. Muellers exhaustive investigation has proven conclusively their destructive and very likely concocted allegations were pure fantasy. But hard facts are no substitute for blind hatred and Democrats are not about to give up.
The report left open for them another opportunity to keep alive the hatred and suspicion thats enveloped the country for much too long. It cites several instances that Trump critics could interpret as obstruction of justice obstruction of an investigation into a crime that never happened.
Muellers team debated the justification for criminal charges and rejected it in all cases. Legal scholars studying the report have been unable to establish clear-cut evidence of obstruction. But Democrats in Congress have decided to perpetuate the suspicion the anger and gridlock that they instigated more than two years ago. Theyre starting from scratch and picking through Muellers report word-by-word hoping to prove after endless hearings that Trump somehow obstructed Muellers investigation when he offered those words of support for General Michael Flynn while meeting with FBI Director Jim Comey or when he later fired Comey for incompetence.
Because obstruction of justice cant be established without specific intent like Johnny Carsons Carnac Democrats will try to reveal exactly what he was thinking during those instances cited in the report.
But they dont have to divine the deepest depths of Trumps psyche to find clear unequivocal examples of intentional obstruction of justice. For decades two prominent Democrats have been showing them just what its all about.
Hillary Clinton offered a textbook example during the last presidential campaign when she deliberately deleted 33000 emails that had already been subpoenaed by Congress. That scandal evoked long-forgotten memories of her missing Rose Law Firm billing records also subpoenaed by Congress that ultimately surfaced under her control in the White House. As First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary has proven that learning to obstruct justice is like learning to ride a bicycle. And it doesnt take a mind-reader to understand her intent. Nor was there any question about Bill Clintons intent when he lied in a written deposition in 1998. It was in fact what led to charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.
Democrats are certainly mindful of Clintons impeachment. They remember that even with such a clear case of obstruction and the opposition party controlling both Houses of Congress they could still not muster the two-thirds majority needed in the Senate to convict him. They also know that the trial actually boosted Clintons popularity.
With that in mind and the approaching 2020 election Democrats arent likely to risk strengthening Trumps hand while weakening theirs. Asked about the possibility of impeachment Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently said …were not there yet." She knows that based on the Mueller report theyll never be there.
Yes some obsessed hyperventilating Democrats live for Trumps impeachment. To Democrat presidential candidates its become a reliable fund-raiser. To the more rational Democrats its not much more than an addendum to their wish-list just like the Green New Deal.
While they have no real appetite to impeach the president they do have an insatiable appetite for something else and that is much more threatening to our future. We hear it in the rhetoric of their newly-elected lawmakers as well as their 2020 presidential hopefuls. Its a hunger for power the power over the people that comes with socialism. Under the guise of compassion and benevolence they promise economic and social equality. What theyre clawing for so desperately is power and control.
The free" health care they promise Medicare for all isnt free nor is it unlimited. Funded by the American taxpayer it would be distributed doled out by government bureaucrats weighing cost-to-benefit ratios. Likewise free college means government-controlled taxpayer-funded education. The government would set the guidelines the regulations and stipulations for higher education. It would decide when continued studies were no longer in the best interest of the state. It would regulate all aspects of energy use and would restore the oppressive regulations that stifle economic growth. One candidate has boasted about weakening our Second Amendment rights through Executive Order and compelling all workers to either join unions or pay a fee. Power-hungry Democrats are pushing hard for government control of every aspect of our lives.
Their humiliating defeat in 2016 intensified that craving for power and theyre not about to take any chances with the approaching presidential election. So even as they pontificate about congressional oversight responsibility their real purpose is clear. They wont risk an impeachment trial but theyll do what they can to weaken this president through endless hearings and relentless accusations and innuendo aimed at him his associates and his family. The collateral damage to our country is irrelevant to them as long as theyre convinced it will restore them to power in 2020.
