The Antithesis of Obstruction (Must Read)
National Review ^ | 6/24/2017 | ANDREW C. MCCARTHY

Posted on 06/24/2017 7:50:01 PM PDT by Beave Meister

Trump did not obstruct a valid FBI investigation; he demanded the exposure of a false one.

The “collusion” narrative was a fraud, plain and simple. We know that now. Hopefully, it won’t take another six months to grasp a second plain and simple truth: Collusion’s successor, the “obstruction” narrative, is a perversion. The Left loves narrative.

The ever-expanding story manipulates time, space, and detail to fit a thematic framework. Political narrative has some surface appeal, but it is deeply flawed. It obscures plain and simple truth.

So let’s stick with the plain and simple: The essence of obstruction is to frustrate the search for truth. Its antithesis is to demand the exposure of fraud. Donald Trump’s political enemies are trying to build an obstruction case on the antithesis of obstruction: the president’s insistence that the collusion fraud be exposed.

Great read. I'm sure CNN will clarify and apologize for the countless air time hours they've spent trying to ram the Trump collusion narrative down the collective throats of the public at large....

Just read this at NRO.

Hard to tell the dif between the Liberal trolls and the #neverTrumpers that hang out in the comment section, but lets just say, dealing with reality ain’t their forte.

Mindboggling how delusional and psychotic many of them are

“Hard to tell the dif between the Liberal trolls and the #neverTrumpers that hang out...”

Wow, no kidding, I was viewing those comments too.

McCarthy is one of the more informed and experienced voices in this area, yet some treat him like he is just a dishonest political hack trying to help Trump.

Ironically, the only person who is even more sensible about the whole collusion / obstruction nonsense is Dershowitz - who I’m sure voted for Hillary.

Mueller (and Weasel Comey) needs to be locked up for fraud.

Comey had been second only to Trump on the Democrats’ villains list. The Russia investigation rehabilitated him in the eyes of the “Resistance,” but only as long as Comey appeared to be pursuing the collusion narrative, by which they hoped to drive Trump out of office.

The key point. What Comey hopes for is (1) to stay out of jail himself; (2) to nestle under the still-potent Clinton wing of the party; (3) a well-compensated return to some sort of Deep State sinecure. The latter might well be in the media or in some sort of consultancy status, but he's finished in the law enforcement biz. He burned that bridge himself.

dealing with reality

Never underestimate the power of people in large groups unwilling or unable to accept reality.

It’s as if they were all organized the way the gang up on this article with their talking points. No facts, just same old tired talking points. Hummmm I wonder if Soros is paying them to troll the Conservative websites?

What did they do to us before we had the internet to expose them ?

I have NEVER been so grateful for having been taught to read.

Right. Trump is in trouble for Obstructing an Injustice.

McCarthy worked with Comey and others under Rudy Giuliani in the USA Southern District of Manhattan. While not a #NeverTrumper, he does or at least did appear to be lukewarm on The Donald, and has repeatedly stood up for James Comey in the past.

I believe it is very slowly dawning on him that former associate James "Jimmy the Weasel" Comey is a dirty cop. [His books on terrorism and Islam based on his own experiences, by the way, are excellent and well written.]

“...he does or at least did appear to be lukewarm on The Donald, and has repeatedly stood up for James Comey in the past.”

Agreed.

And Dershowitz is a solid Dem.

Both are quite knowledgeable and experienced men who have no great interest in helping Trump. But if there were rewards for honesty under fire, they’d both be rich right now.

McCarthy got it partly right, but like most establishment, “politics is all” types, he is blind to Trump’s white-collar mission to fix broken things; a mission that us blue-collar types see clearly.
