We’ve been harping on this story for weeks but we’ll give it one more shot given that the Wall Street Journal has offered some clarification on what is going on and how it can be brought into the bright light of legitimate congressional/media exposure.
As with most events occurring today on the national scene, us shlubs out here in the heartland only know what we are able to learn from intensive review of reporting by media sources across the political/ideological spectrum…and what common sense and a reasonable degree of intelligence enable us to interpret.
In Saturday’s editorial the Journal revisits the stonewalling and distortions by the media and both sides of the political aisle.
It notes that the media is predictably ignoring the matter that triggered this whole ‘independent’ Special Counsel “Russian collusion” investigation.
Unless you are an exclusive PBS, MSM viewer/ listener, you know that the real purpose of Robert Mueller’s “investigation” is to bring down the properly elected administration of Donald Trump and essentially nullify the votes of more than 60 million Americans.
Congress has attempted to obtain the facts on the event that apparently led former and disgraced FBI director James Comey to successfully push for the appointment of his buddy, Mueller as Special Counsel…the so-called “Steele Dossier”:
“The House Intelligence Committee recently issued subpoenas to Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm that paid for the dossier that contained allegations against then-candidate Donald Trump and ties to Russia. The dossier’s details have been either discredited or are unverified, but the document nonetheless framed the political narrative about Trump-Russian collusion that led to special counsel Robert Mueller.” (WSJ, 10/14/17)
For some not-so-strange reason, the Justice Department and the FBI have resisted and stonewalled all such efforts, as they have any attempts by Congress to find out exactly how corrupt those entities themselves were in covering up and abetting the widespread wrongdoing of and during the Obama administration.
To us the real issue and what should be a matter of the most serious concern to the American people, is why a Republican majority congress and with a Republican executive branch would be so easily blocked from uncovering the facts of dangerous criminality within the ranks of the country’s pre-eminent law enforcement agency, the FBI.
We think we can make a pretty good guess.
These agencies are effectively controlled by deeply entrenched ‘holdovers’ from the very entity… members of which should be investigated and brought to justice…the Obama administration:
“The real question is why Democrats and Fusion seem not to want to tell the public who requested the dossier or what ties Fusion GPS boss Glenn Simpson had with the Russians in 2016. All the more so because congressional investigators have learned that Mr. Simpson was working for Russian clients at the same time he was working with Mr. Steele.”
The very security of this nation depends upon getting the facts of its corruption out in the open and insuring that justice is attained!
Our “real question” is, Who is running the Justice Department?
We have long regarded Jeff Sessions as an honorable, fearless, and honest, dedicated seeker of justice, well before President Trump named him to be Attorney General. (We cannot say the same for Christopher Wray, the newly confirmed FBI Director, however. Wray got more than 40 Democrat confirmation votes and we are pretty sure he will not involve his bureau in any investigation of the Obama administration. Does anybody think all those Democrats would confirm a guy who would give serious attention to all the incompetence and corruption that a lot of actual evidence strongly suggests pervaded the entire previous administration? I don’t! ).
But what about his boss, Mr. Sessions?
That comes back to our question. Who is running the Justice Department? Rod Rosenstein? Andrew McCabe? David Hardy (who?)?
Rosenstein, as we all recall, became ‘acting’ AG when Sessions recused himself from the “Russian thing”. Rod’s first official act was to appoint Mueller as “Special Counsel”, with virtually unlimited power and money to go after the Trump administration. Does that sound like a guy who would allow a probe of Obama, Clinton, Democratic Party wrong doing?
And Andy McCabe, still a Deputy director of the FBI? An Obama guy with deep ties to the Democrats.
And then there’s the keeper of the FBI records section, David Hardy, an Obama appointed bureaucrat, who determined there’s no “public interest” in pursuing anything to do with Mrs. Clinton’s email, er, mistakes. (Does Hardy ever read a newspaper? Ever venture out of his cubicle to hear what ‘regular’ people talk about?)
Nuf said ? DLH
