Professor
Robert Reich, concerned about the Rescumlican campaign to undermine
if not end the Mueller investigation into Donald J. Trump and his
lackeys, had this to say yesterday on his Facebook posting:
“In
December, just before he was to testify before the House Judiciary
Committee, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein – who has
authority over special counsel Rob Mueller’s Russia investigation
-- sought Trump’s help in fighting off document demands from House
Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes.
Friends, we have a man occupying the Oval Office who has no qualms about interfering in an FBI investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign.
This will be another piece of evidence in the obstruction of justice count of the Trump impeachment, next year. Your thoughts?”
Devin
Nunes is, of course, the same Devin Nunes who last summer engaged in
a White House plot to divert criticism over the tRUMP administrations
accusations that somehow President Obama had violated the law and
illegally wiretapped tRUMP Tower, One will recall that the Chairman
of the House Intelligence Committee was seen jumping out of his car,
after receiving a call, and running off only to report later that he
had uncovered independently obtained information that he needed to
rush to the White House which would exonerate Disgustus' and validate
his outrageous claims. The charade was quickly revealed for what it
was, for Nunes had run to the White House to get information from
Bannon staffers at the White House, to deliver back to the White
House. In sum, the White House ginning up 'documents', purportedly
from 'independent' sources that weren't 'independent' at all. As a
result of this brazen attempt to obfuscate Nunes 'recused' himself as
chairman of the committee as it went about investigating the Russian
mess.
It
seems, however, that Nunes has done nothing of the sort. He has
instead been 'cherry-picking' information that he demanded from the
FBI to make it appear that the FBI and Robert Mueller have been
'conspiring' to bring the government down. He has summarized this
fiction in a classified memo that the Rescumlicans, by party-line
vote, decided to release to the public, over the strenuous objections
of both the FBI and the tRUMP led Department of Justice. Not only
did the committee refuse to allow the Director of the FBI or anyone
at Justice testify as to the veracity of the interpretation or the
wisdom, given that it could reveal sources, of releasing this screed
but the committee voted along party lines to quash the Democratic
line-by-line critique. Indeed Nunes refused to answer a question by a Democratic member of the Committee if he had consulted the White House when drawing up this fraud.
This
in the context of the same House committee that accused two FBI
agents of anti-tRUMP bias, characterizing the FBI as a 'witch hunt'.
It was later revealed that not only had Mueller immediately removed
the investigators upon discovery of the messages but that the emails
also contained disparaging remarks about the Clintons, including
daughter Chelsea, Bernie Sanders, Martin O'Malley, Jill Stein, Paul
Ryan, Ted Cruz and a host of others.
It
is becoming increasingly and painfully clear that the Rescumlican
Party will do nothing to see that justice is done. The Rescumlican
Party, now bereft of any sense of justice or decency, is now in the
thralls of the ultimate degenerate, the penultimate authoritarian,
and the Russian Agent. There is no known depth to which they will
not now stoop. No gutter, no cesspool is too repugnant for them.
By
selectively reporting the committee has instead demonstrated it's own
bias, becoming—along with its 'recused' chairman, material
accessories in the obstruction of justice. The public forum reeks
from the stench and there will be no relief unless and until we flush
this toilet.
Impeach
and Imprison.
