Trump committed no crime. Democrats need to get over it.
Washington Post ^ | June 9, 2017

Posted on 06/10/2017 5:24:49 AM PDT by NCjim

Before the angry mob of breathless Democrats gets too spun up and ahead of itself, the anti-Trumpers should calm down and try to absorb just how preposterous it is to suggest that President Trump may have committed a criminal offense by supposedly obstructing justice during the Russia/Michael Flynn investigation.

Consider for a moment what would have happened if Trump had placed an op-ed in a prominent newspaper, arguing that the investigation into his campaign and former national security adviser Flynn was misguided, a wasteful use of government resources, and that he thought it should stop. To do so would be foolish, but not criminal.

Okay. Last night we had CNN posting an Op Ed that somewhat resembles this post. Interesting that the MSM is allowing "dissent" from their narrative. I'm curious to see what this is leading to.

I was thinking the same thing. Damage control?

My suspicious nature says that this is an effort to protect the Clintons. Hillary in particular.

Perhaps a “Let bygones be bygones” effort?

I’m also curious about Mueller and the Special Counsel investigation. It was inititated through Comey’s deceit, now acknowledged. In other words, ‘There is no there, there”.

The crime is the hoped for cover up that so far has not come to light

Rush likes to tell what’s coming. I suspect there will now be attempts to create non existent coverups.

POTUS Trump is owed an apology by Dems and MSM.
They ficticiously started Russia thing the day after Hildebeast lost, all BS and they knew it.

They have known for months Comey had nothing because Dem Macabe knew and he was top at the AG office.
They knew Trump never Target,

Comey set up Scooter Libby, ruined his life.

GOP needs to pass Healthcare and tax reduction and get building the wall

That is why I do not want President Trump to testify under oath (which he offered to do). He doesn't have to lie under oath to be impeached. The insiders just have to claim he lied under oath, which is an impeachable offense for a non-Clinton.

One of the many symptoms of the mental disease known as liberalism is insanity.
Another symptom is the inability to recognize, thus accept, truth. They have little, or no, reasoning ability whatsoever. It’s a slow death spiral to the bottom and once at the bottom, they become RATs.

Democrats will not get over it, and they will not let it go, because the real issue is this: they want to undo the results of the 2016 Presidential Election. That is their agenda, and they will use any means possible.

Their fury, their abject hatred of President Trump, and their refusal to accept the election results are all manifestations of their refusal to allow truth to intrude on their cherished delusions.

They were under a grand delusion that Hillary Clinton would be elected President of the U.S.A.

So indelible was this delusion that they could not believe that she was defeated. They still refuse to believe it. This is denial.

As long as they cling to this delusion, they will believe that the President Trump's election was somehow fraudulent or erroneous or illegitimate or somehow didn't happen. They will search for explanations, excuses, reasons to believe that it didn't happen. This is denial. And they will search for ways to nullify the election results in order to make their delusions reality.

This is very dangerous.

Nothing engenders more fury and hatred that truth threatening delusion.

This situation is very dangerous!

This was my first thought as well.. one party did have foreign nationals voting, ones party had a fixed primary, ones candidate did have numerous connection points with the Russians. Now it is time to lock her up

——This situation is very dangerous!-—

To relieve the pressure and change the debate, the President must go on offense. The most points can be put on the board immediately by indicting the Hillary minions and squeezing them publicly to squeal or to die.

Then, indict Hillary

"That is why I do not want President Trump to testify under oath" ********************************************************** Special Council-Mr President did you ever ask Comey to let up or in any way reduce his investigation into Michael Flynn? President Trump-I have no recollection of ever saying that. Rinse and repeat for all questions of this kind.

While everything you said about the Dems is true, there is another important side to this.

The country is roughly 1/3 conservative, 1/3 moderate, and 1/3 liberal (by my estimates). How this all played out combined with the false narrative and tantrums of the left can't possibly have impressed anyone outside of their own group.

Don’t get too excited...that’s an opinion piece, not an editorial.

Hell has not frozen over.
