I have my own Essay this morning:
Well, Chuck Todd did not get his wish Friday and Mueller didn’t pull a “trap” or any other announcement on Trump.
Todd was spouting the line that Mueller should NOT release a report during the active campaign season, which starts Labor Day (Monday).
So the idea was, Mueller had to release it BEFORE Labor Day, to be fair.
Otherwise, Conservatives and Trump supporters would have an argument the Mueller is all about POLITICS, not justice.
To avoid that charge and label, Mueller has to wait until the election is over. If Mueller tries anything before that, Trump campaigns to his supporters and says, “See, I told you. Witch hunt. This is just another October Surprise “Gotcha”. They held on to this just to give the democrats an edge. It’s an illegal campaign contribution!!! Same old tired politics. You must all vote GOP if you want me to keep at making America Great Again, otherwise they WILL impeach me!” It could create a massive RED wave. The democrats FEAR that. Well, the smart ones do.
Now, you and I know that the left, including Mueller, has not one once of ethics in their bloodstream.
However, impeachment is a POLITICAL process. To bring up any charges DURING the campaign reeks of politics, which supposedly the smarter ones in the Left want to avoid. Maybe.
BUT, to bring it up between Monday and November 3rd is really electioneering, and Pres Trump (and us) can have a field day presenting it as so. HARD for the media to prove otherwise.
The smart money is now Mueller has NOTHING.
If Trump can hold the House, Mueller, Rosenstein, and probably Sessions get fired.
Everything now comes down to the Election.
Once again, if Mueller releases an impeachment report—or assessment that the Trump campaign or the President himself, broke the law or obstructed justice—BEFORE the election, that gives Trump supporting GOP House candidates an edge. A HUGE edge to get out the vote, or lose everything they just got (Economy, fairer trade, tax relief, better respect for the USA military prowess).
The fight will be “why now?”, Witch hunt, Mueller partisan wants to give dems the House, not fair, should’ve waited, the whole cabal plotted to destroy me, stop YOUR progress, annul YOU votes….
I strongly believe that IF Mueller does that, and Trump rallies his voters, and the democrats do not gain the back the House; Muller, Rosenstein, and Sessions will be fired by the President the day after the election.
EVEN the GOPe Senate has relented and read the writing on the wall. Did you know they are trying to pass an agreement to prevent Sessions from being fired before the midterms? After, not so much. Hmmm... they never had that condition before...
If the democrats win back the House, Trump will still fire the 3 Stooges (and probably FBI Director Wray) but the democrats WILL Impeach, but slowly, in order to make it last with phony Adam Schiff led investigations for the next two years. They won’t have enough voted in the Senate until after 2020 (more Republicans up then dems) and they think they can do it all by then.
Without the House to start impeachment, and without the cabal in DoJ Mr. Trump has had to put up with, the democrats got NUTHIN!!!
Either way, this election is the big one, bigger than 2016.
Make sure to vote!!!
What’s with FOXNEWS lineup this morning? Their panel of pundits looks like a who’s who of the left wing news media. I guess the Fox Trump bashing is going into higher gear...
They(elections) are all big. Hopefully, our side will score. If Trump keeps up with his rallies they won’t take back the house. No one is smarter in election politics than DJT.
To go along with your essay, Jeff Sessions could hold on by declaring that since the special prosecutor has not found any evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia in the 2016 election and has moved on to other things, Sessions’ need to recuse himself is done, so he can “unrecuse” himself and take charge of the Mueller investigation.
Actually, these closed sessions are better in terms of obtaining information from the witness. No Dem Congressmen attended the deposition of Ohr, only some Dem staffers. The good guys did most of the questioning. There are no time limits nor are there Congressmen mugging and performing for the camera.
There may be a time when Congress wants Ohr to testify in public, but for now, we have to rely on the multitude of leaks.
Rosy and the Mule team yes....SCCJ Roberts needs to go too.
Sessions no.
Their hopes are pinned to acquisition to his tax returns which can be spun into collusion/Putin blackmail, etc. If they turn up, which I'm sure they will, then they'll declassify.
Speaking of blackmail; with proof Hillary was hacked by the Chinese at minimum, imagine the blackmail to which we would have been subject. Scary.
The question now is how much flak comes from a Sessions firing. I believe he has ample and demonstrable cause.
