Cackles and screams about Trump and Russian collusion (never identified only the dark inference) when all we do know about it is that there is no evidence, the inference made up to damage Trump, and would have been “contra-interests” for Russia anyway. The same media outlets were largely silent about real scandals with interests and results aplenty.
John Hinderaker, notable of Powerline issues a powerful reminder of
HOW BARACK OBAMA CONSPIRED WITH AN ENEMY TO UNDERMINE US FOREIGN POLICY (excerpt)
The Democrats are trying to make a scandal out of the fact that representatives of the Trump campaign communicated with Russians, even though those communications were 100% appropriate. I had forgotten about this post, which I wrote in March 2015, until Rush Limbaugh read from it on his program yesterday. It reminds us what a REAL scandal involving a presidential campaign and foreign policy looks like:
In 2008, the Bush administration, along with the “six powers,” was negotiating with Iran concerning that country’s nuclear arms program. The Bush administration’s objective was to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
. . . the main issue . . . that it stop enriching uranium. And Iranian diplomats reiterated before the talks that they considered the issue nonnegotiable.
The Iranians held firm to their position, perhaps because they knew that help was on the way, in the form of a new president. Barack Obama had clinched the Democratic nomination on June 3. At some point either before or after that date, but prior to the election, he secretly let the Iranians know that he would be much easier to bargain with than President Bush. Michael Ledeen reported the story last year . . .
So Obama secretly told the mullahs not to make a deal until he assumed the presidency, when they would be able to make a better agreement. Which is exactly what happened: Obama abandoned the requirement that Iran stop enriching uranium, so that Iran’s nuclear program has sped ahead over the months and years that negotiations have dragged on. . . .
That, readers, is what a real scandal looks like.
And there is also the incredible silence from these watchdogs jackals and hellhounds regarding the utter ridiculousness of the ACLU (representing leftist interests) in essentially arguing that, well if Hillary had issued Trump’s travel moratorium as he did regarding a relative few Muslim countries unable or unwilling to adequately vet their citizens for terrorism connections, then it would be constitutional. As Hinderaker points out: ACLU Makes It Official: The Only Thing Wrong With Trump’s Travel Order Is Trump
