I’ve been watching the rabid attempts to undermine and unseat the President in the MSM and echoed in this Forum in post after post since November 2016.
Yes, ever since the election after the psychic shock of the “upset” victory wore off, there has been a no holds barred, manic effort to find some way, any way to undo the results of that election either via impeachment or resignation.
It started with simple unfitness for office with members of the mental health professions signing petitions declaring him mentally unfit. Then there was a massive deluge of leaks about any and every thing some “current or former member of government” considered “improper” poured in the willing ears of the MSN.
Finally, thanks to the Steele Dossier the “resistance” jelled around Russian election interference which the President must have actively colluded in. Didn’t he publicly ask the Russian to hack her during his campaign? :roll: (No, he actually didn’t, but don’t let facts get in the way of a narrative.)
Either Director Comey was unaware that his agency, the FBI, used it to get a FISA warrant to tap the communications of Carter Page with the intent to investigate Trump, or his unwillingness to inform the President whether or not he was under investigation which resulted in his discharge was an intentional failure to do his duty.
The President rightly lost trust in him and fired him. After that, it’s been obstruction (which it was not) and “collusion, collusion, collusion!” with nothing to actually show it.
As predicted, the witch hunt may have found some kind of information completely unrelated to “Russian interference,” which not being under Mueller’s writ, has been passed off to “local agency” to investigate. This resulted in the Cohen "raid" via possible money laundering or fund misuse from the Stormy Daniels sex scandal.
Now, it’s “Campaign fund misuse” and “money laundering,” or whatever other dirt may have been found that had nothing to do with the original investigation. This is exactly what all those in this Forum and out in public have been hoping for.
Well, if the President is forced from office for any reason other than knowing and willing conspiracy with a foreign power to undermine the election process, then all the Left’s naysaying notwithstanding, it proves this is and always WAS a “Witch Hunt” with the intent to negate the election by any means necessary.
If successful, then my faith in our system of government will be completely erased; since this will demonstrate that mob "justice" is the rule, and "by any means necessary" is the method.
I would not call this a "Witch Hunt" so much as it is a fishing expedition. A "Witch Hunt" typically connotes the trumped-up unjustified persecution of an otherwise innocent person. Donald Trump is a New York real estate magnate with long-standing ties to the Democratic Party machine and deals that span the globe. If anyone is able to dig far enough and deep enough into his family's and his organization's past and current dealings, will something criminal under Federal Statutory or Regulatory law be found? Almost certainly. What would shock me is if he came out as clean as the driven snow.
The question is whether such scrutiny is justified pursuant to the mandate given to Mueller. If Mueller, during the course of his investigation, finds evidence of crimes totally unrelated to Russian election meddling, should he be able to pursue them and prosecute them? I do not think so. I think the evidence for such crimes must be given over the relevant Federal or State investigative authorities for investigation and prosecution.
Personally, my faith in both our system remains unshaken, despite the high level of erosion of the social fabric. Maybe I am just naive, but I would not worry overmuch.
