All Roads Lead to Mueller
Wall Street Journal ^ | October 1, 2019 | Holman W. Jenkins

...

House Democrats, of course, are free to impeach over any charge that can win a majority, including a claim Mr. Trump sought foreign interference in the 2020 election. But they didn’t bargain on the Russia-collusion fiasco forcing its way into the drama they are trying to create. Even a daily email blast from the Trump-unfriendly Columbia Journalism Review acknowledges that the “Trump-Ukraine story, it’s safe to say, is now about much more than Trump and Ukraine.”

Democrats were going to face powerful counterarguments anyway: The U.S. media itself had raised questions about Mr. Biden; Mr. Trump had merely asked Ukraine to take up the allegations with the U.S. attorney general, which is a pretty good shield against Mr. Trump himself lapsing toward any illegalities.

But more important is the new outpouring of reporting that sets these questions in the broader context of a legitimate inquiry into the actions of U.S. intelligence agencies in the last presidential election. The implications are not small. Democrats may have to reconsider their selection of Adam Schiff as impeachment frontman because of his role in promoting the Russia-collusion canard. Questions will have to be asked about the motives of the whistleblower—a CIA official who dropped his highly polished bomb on the eve of a Justice Department inspector general’s report that will begin opening the lid on FBI and CIA actions during the 2016 campaign.

At least by the public, questions should also be asked about the mainstream media’s conspicuous reluctance to look into Democratic and Obama administration behavior in the Russia-collusion matter. Why, it’s almost like the press doesn’t want the subject investigated, for fear of what might be learned about the press.

Meanwhile that butt pirate turncoat Matt Drudge continues to beat the drum for Trump’s impeachment.

The Democrats impeachment effort is an obvious turd covered in glitter and sprayed with hopium.

The backlash in 2020 against the Democrats is going to be biblical. If the multinational media talking heads felt true heartbreak in 2016 they are literally going to die of grief in November of 2020.

Trumo will win every state that he did in 2016 plus Maine, New Hampshire, Nevada, and Minnesota.

meh. Drudge can do what he wants. Take or leave. I trust you are not easily swayed by his leanings. He may have an issue with Trump’s style. An axe to grind Big deal. You do what’s right. Complaining about Drudge is fine, too. Just remember (as if I have to say this) Drudge owns no one.

How do you know this?

Drudge is certainly singing the rat tune and I’m trying to remove him from my bookmarks so I don’t click on him by mistake. I’m done giving him a click.

And remember, the Hunter Biden deal is just the tip of the iceberg. Deals like he got, are not rare in Washington. I would imagine that many are desperate to close down this investigation, if for no other reason, than it might uncover their OWN dirt. As Tucker Carlson said, “The deeper you dig, the sleazier it gets”.

Think about this:
We have a press that DOESN’T want information.

Indeed. In short order we’ve learned Hunter Biden’s China partners included Kerry-Heinz’s son and the nephew of Whitey Bulger. How convenient.

I hope not, too. I liked him and was happy he got a position in the administration. He should know better.

Trump should be impeached because he was getting two scoops of ice cream, while others were getting only one. Yes, he was double dipping! A high crime!

This would also explain why so many international deals cut against the interests of America. Some sleazy politician is cutting personal deals.

Just like dead soul pirate Roberts, Matt Drudge is owned. Someone is holding his blackmail file so he dances to their tune. Lack of integrity is a hallmark of dead soul demon rats and the puppets they string along.

Beginning to hear john Bolton might be the whistleblower...

Ingraham had a guy on Mon night who was ex CIA and a real w’blower. He said he knows who it is and agreed they were female.
