In 1972 the US Mens Olympic Basketball Team was set to win yet another Olympic Basketball Gold Medal. What happened is history and most people agree the outcome was not only stunning but a travesty in athletics and the Olympics. When Doug Collins hit two free throws with 3 seconds remaining it appeared the Americans had won. The Russians inbounded the ball and failed to score. Rather than the game be over the Russians were given another attempt to inbound the ball and score, they failed. Game over? No. Again the Russians were given an opportunity to inbound and score. The third opportunity was a charm, at least for the Russians, scoring on a full length pass with a layup by one of the Russian players.
Three attempts to score in order to get it done. The reasons for giving the Russian team two attempts to retry to score have never been adequately explained by FIBA, the governing body for international basketball at the time. It was a stolen game with one team making use of "dirty" tactics. Failure wasn't final for the Russians. The US had clearly won, not once but twice. It would not be enough as another attempt would get them the victory.
This is the Democrats. They played the game. Put their best players on the court. First Hillary, she lost. Then the Mueller investigation, again they lost, no collusion and no evidence that would support a criminal case about obstruction. But now we get to the third try. Dirty tricks and help from a third party, the media, will keep the democrats trying to remove a sitting President who beat back the atttack by democrats because they cannot come to terms with the loss which has haunted the democrat party.
Russian collusion, nope. Russian mentality, looks like it.
