Let’s realize that one point is not even in contention anymore. The FBI and DOJ did spy on the Trump campaign with at least the knowledge, if not direction, of 0bama and the Hillary campaign. That alone is enough. Yet we are told there is more. When do these behaviors precipitate consequences, if ever?
We were assured there were “mountains” of evidence that Trump “colluded” with the Russians (whatever that means). Where the hell is it?
Has a real audit trail (following the money) been done on this - are there fingerprints from the Hillary campaign, DNC, Lil' Debbie, Donna's brassiere, pay-out approvals, vouchers, actual payments, canceled checks, bank account transactions, lawfirm client logs, etc. been uncovered and published yet?
Is there any precedent for nullifying immunity if the action was made in bad faith, corrupt, or under dubious terms?
Also, is it possible for some other agency or jurisdiction to somehow indict?
Even if the guilty are brought to justice and the swamp drained, problems will remain. NSA surveillance and the Patriot Act are not going to disappear. Their mere existence fosters the potential for abuse.
I don’t watch television, but walked by last night as my wife was watching. Guess what NBC Evening News (Lester Dolt...er...Holt) was talking about?
Not the Nunes memo. Not Uranium One. None of that.
Their big thing was the aide fired from the White House accused of domestic abuse. That’s it.
What is potentially the greatest political scandal in American history was barely mentioned.
Anyone remember what was going on for a year and a half in 1973-74? It was non-stop, wall-to-wall, all networks, Watergate.
If every single media outlet burned down, went broke, and had to lay off every employee, I would find it hard to shed a tear. They chose sides a long time ago.
