Bullies who abuse their power like Bungling Bob Mueller and Jim Shady Comey co-opted the national press decades ago. Using leaks to take out critics -- indeed President Nixon -- the FBI created this illusion that it is an independent agency that is some unelected guardian angel of our republic.
Comey shattered that image when his agents smashed to smithereens the evidence of Hillary's breaches of national security in an effort to get her elected so Comey could continue his job.
The press ignored this story. Trump said the P-word in private over a decade earlier, and disclosing that tape won the Pulitzer Prize for David Fahrenthold.
The Constitution allowed President Trump to fire Comey, and he did. The press called this a constitutional crisis. The ignorance of the press is a sight to behold.
The press continues to serve as public relations outfit for the FBI and the rest of the Department of Justice.
"Rod Rosenstein is offering a fierce defense of the Justice Department amid mounting Republican criticism, making an unusually public stand for the institution he has served for nearly three decades," the Hill reported.
"On Tuesday, the deputy attorney general rebuked the nascent conservative effort to impeach him, likely exacerbating tensions with conservatives in the House.
"House Republicans are demanding access to classified documents related to the investigation of special counsel Robert Mueller, including a heavily redacted memo that spells out the scope of the investigation."
Wow. So Mueller is allowed to subpoena the president but our elected officials cannot even look at government records they requested months ago.
Impeach Rosenstein. Fire them all.
"There have been people who have been making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time, and I think they should understand by now the Department of Justice is not going to be extorted," Rosenstein said during an appearance at the Newseum.
Holding him accountable is not extortion. Bankrupting people falsely accused of non-existent crimes in an effort to get them to roll on the president is.
Tar and feather him.
ReplyDeleteAn appropriately patriotic punishment. If it worked for our Founding Fathers it works for me. Remember, if the tar isn't hot enough the feathers won't stick. It should also be hot enough so that when it's removed the skin comes off with it. - Elric
DeleteBrilliant, Elric!
DeleteI've never read of anyone being tarred and feathered twice, so it must have been an effective deterrent. I did read that some folks died from the process. - Elric
DeleteYeah, it’d hurt a little more than the treatment Steve Carrell got in The 40 Year Old Virgin.
DeleteIt is shameful that they are destroying lives during this witch hunt. Just like the anthrax case. Meuller and his henchmen’s steamroller will hopefully run out of fuel soon.
ReplyDeleteTrump should order Rosenstein and Wray to give the Congressional committees what they are asking for and if they refuse, he will have grounds for firing them for insubordination. There will be lots of political fallout from that, of course, but how could Congress impeach a president who orders his underlings to cooperate with Congress? (Being the snakes they are, they could, but it would end the Republican party forever if they did impeach.)
ReplyDeleteNo, if he refuses, indict him and off to jail with him.
DeleteSOME of these crooks need to feel real pain, or our country, as constituted by Washington, et al, is doomed.
Can you say "Kabuki"? I knew you could, boys and girls.
DeleteTrump should be ordering Sessions to give all requested documents, unredacted, to the House Intelligence Committee. And Reps in Congress should be passing a law to withhold budget money if reasonable requests are not satisfied within 30 days.
ReplyDeleteCold Rod, lemme remind you: You work for us, assbreath. Any other interpretation of your or your department’s job is tantamount to treason. Get your shit together and do your job, you dingleberry.
ReplyDeleteTrump appointed Rosenstein and Wray. "Nothing but the best people." As the walls close in more on President Dennison - thanks to the magnificent performance of one Rudy Giuliani, you David Koresh/Jim Jones disciples of President Dennison become more incoherent by the day. I now await zregime's obscenity-filled response.
ReplyDeleteBlow me.
DeleteRight on cue Z - so predictable.
DeleteNony... I can't help but notice the way you play fast and loose with everyone's name including our host, but continually hide behind 'anonymous'.
DeleteTime to come out of the closet big fella.
SC
There’s no obscenity there, Nony. It’s bloody hot up here in WV today and I merely asked you to help me cool down.
DeleteHe lives in his mother's basement - or crawlspace.
DeleteAnd you sit there waiting for your government check to arrive, Nony?
DeleteTrump can declassify and order any document to be released. Why in the hell hasn't Trump done it already?
ReplyDeleteTiming. He's waiting for the IG report due in four more days. If not, then I'm as mystified as you.
DeleteSigh.
ReplyDeleteEmotional reactions and responses are the domain of the commie left. Which of us here is qualified to tell Donald what to do on any matter? Uh, none, maybe. Yeah.
Sundance said this in his site today - true words of wisdom who have no patience for what has to unfold at the speed it presently is . . .
"The OIG review of the DOJ and FBI conduct has taken a long time; and with good reason. The scale of the misconduct is staggering."
Donald is a proven quantity, is he not? Yes. So we would do well to quit second-guessing him.
Rodney thinks himself the DoJ. Arrogant jerk.
