Roger Simon: Democrats Are Headed for a World of (Deserved) Hurt

After years of non-stop virtue signaling as the party of "truth, justice and equality," the Democrats are slowly, inexorably being revealed to be the reverse. They are being hoisted on the petard of their own moral narcissism. It has made them blind.

So convinced of their own righteousness were they that it allowed them to participate in, even instigate, the subversion of our justice system to the extent of lying to and deceiving a FISA court in the name of what they assumed was "good." They did this in concert with people who claimed to be Republicans or "independents" working for that system in the supposedly noble cause of upending Donald Trump, before and after his election, but ended up being the deluded agents of government corruption the likes of which we have never seen in this country.

It comes down to something as crude as this: Trump's a bad guy, therefore I'm a good guy and can do or say anything I wish to destroy Trump. This is moral narcissism taken to a pathological extreme.

Practically with each passing day, as more and more largely arbitrary redactions are pried away from documents that were deliberately hidden from public view in the first place by endless stonewalling, the venality of their true motivations -- and of their cohort's actions -- becomes more evident.

The ramifications of that unmasking (note the word) will be more extensive than expected and will reach into every aspect of our culture, even to the last lines of liberal/progressive defense -- the media, entertainment and education. The results won't go in a straight line -- they rarely do.

Simon gives a reason he calls “probably best” why Sessions has remained silent and seemingly aloof from a situation that gets worse by the day. All I can say is we’ll see.

One thing we know for sure: if Sessions was out there every day, expressing outrage about what was being dug up on Hillary and Obama, the MSM-Democrats would be screaming and wailing about how "the attorney general is conducting a witch hunt, the attorney general is not an unbiased actor in this, the attorney general is simply doing Trump's dirty work for him, etc., etc.

By staying out of the limelight, Sessions is presenting zero target surface for the MSM-Democrats.

Excellent article. As soon as the 17 intelligence agencies came out, I knew it was wrong. You can't get the 17 to agree that water is wet, because some do not have the MISSION to determine if water is wet.

Seems to me there is a vast middle ground between Sessions being out there too much and not at all. We need to hear from the AG more than, uh, almost never.

Very well stated Steely Tom. Thank you.
