In the affairs of Man ignorance trumps plenty every time.
After hearing the Republicans expose all the exculpatory evidence the Dems withheld, their position now is 1) well OK, maybe our evidence against Trump is really not all that “overwhelming”, but 2) the real overwhelming evidence exists and will come out if we can continue the investigation and hear from our list of witnesses. The president’s defense team’s position is 1) let’s use that overwhelming evidence of yours that took three years to develop, then 2) there’s no need to continue this investigation in the Senate, but if required, we have our own list of witnesses to be called. Wanna play?
The lamestream media coverage has been all one-sided. Last week they hung on every word from Schiff, Nadler, et al as they spun out their allegations, presumptions, beliefs, … without a shred of evidence that any of it constituted “high crimes and misdemeanors” or for that matter, any acts historically unique to this president in carrying out his duties. When the Republican defense took the podium, the major lamestream outlets gave those arguments short shrift, and focused entirely on their new great hope, the presumed testimony of former national security adviser John Bolton. (Attentive readers know that FN is the only voice of balance and reason against the phalanx of leftwing propaganda continually spewed by ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC. National news is not a level playing field.)
To give credit where due, the lamestream has perfectly performed as the public communications arm of Team Schiff and his House managers. Nowhere do they inform their viewers that it was not Donald Trump but Joe Biden who pulled off the quid pro quo with Ukraine by threatening to withhold aid if they did not immediately (within six hours) fire the prosecutor investigating Ukraine’s Burisma on whose board sat energy naïf Hunter Biden raking in cartloads of cash. That Obama-launched corruption was a ripe target for investigation to understand how our aid monies were spent. But that was a politically incorrect endeavor, and therefore not considered by anyone outside the administration, most certainly not by Team Schiff.
Circling back to John Bolton, it interests me no end to follow the career of the former Trump staffer after he publishes his ‘kiss and tell’ memoir that claims to out at a most inconvenient time the confidential Oval Office conversations between him and the president of the United States, the man he was sworn to serve in a professional manner. Who in hell would now engage Bolton in any kind of consulting or advisory capacity knowing that he has demonstrably defected in positions that demand confidence and trust?
