Yahoo
news reports today that Monica Lewinski, the subject of the Bill
Clinton impeachment, responded with a tart reply.
Lewinski
was“responding
to a law professor's comparison of Mueller's still-confidential
report on the ties between Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and the
Russian government to the 1998 release of the Starr Report...On
Sunday, Barr issued a four-page summary of Mueller's report, stating
that Mueller did not find any evidence of collusion between the Trump
campaign and Russia...
“Imagine
if the Starr Report had been provided only to President Clinton's
Attorney General, Janet Reno, who then read it privately and
published a 4-page letter based on her private reading stating her
conclusion that President Clinton committed no crimes,' Orin Kerr, a
professor at the University of Southern California Gould School of
Law, tweeted Tuesday Evening'”.
“Lewinsky
retweeted Kerr later that evening with a three word refrain:
if.fucking.only” (1)
Ken
Starr, now a professor at large teaching at Pepperdine University had
made a pig's breakfast of the proceedings, and a mockery of justice.
Originally called into being to probe the already exhaustively probed
“Whitewater” affair—a real estate venture gone off the rails
back in Arkansas as the Clinton's were on the political rise, Starr's
inquiry found itself sucked down the drain of tawdry sexual scandal
that not only exceeded its mandate but about which the country could
have cared less. It was, after all, consensual sex among adults and
who, after all, would not want to be blown by one so attractive?
Nevertheless Starr treated us to all the pornographically titillating
details, dragging the young intern through the mud, savaging her
reputation. She has spent the rest of her life living the aftermath.
But
then, to the ReSCUMlickans everything—including the most
personal—are fair game as long as it serves their jaded political
interest.
Yes,
if only...If only Starr had exercised reasonable adult judgment. How
much less painful would her life be?
But
the question presents itself to the nation as a whole, because in the
process of violating all sorts of norms...from reporting on and
seeking criminal indictment on matters surrounding the sex life of
presidents—to publishing grand jury testimony—to requiring a
president sit before a camera and testify under oath—all novel
inventions by Starr, the scandal has left a legacy that has paralyzed
the nation. A remedy—the Special Counsel appointed by Congress and
reporting to Congress—was abused and then destroyed by Ken Starr.
It has been replaced by a process in which probes into presidential
iniquity are conducted not by independent counsel but by the Justice
Department and report not to Congress but the Attorney General. The
result is that no matter what Mueller reports the political
apparatchiks will have their finger prints all over the findings,
destroying the credibility of the effort.
The
Starr probe served to be such a fiasco that lessons learned by the
“generation of swine”--that malignant generation currently
clinging to the last breath of power—are not the lessons of
Watergate, but the lessons of the Lewinski affair. Long before
Mueller submitted his report the Democratic leadership—as has been
discussed here in previous columns—found itself reluctant to even
begin impeachment hearings. The reason is that when the scum did it
to Clinton it backfired, Clinton's popularity only rose as a
consequence.
I
think that's a fair assessment if you are only considering the Stormy
Daniels affair. This inquiry, like the Lewinski mess, is unrelated
and tangential at best to the serious high crimes committed by the
scum now occupying the Oval Office. And it has been and will
continue to be treated accordingly. That tRUMP has been, in effect,
named as an 'unindicted co-conspirator' in the Daniels' cover-up has
been and will be met with a collective yawn by the nation at large.
After all, who cares who the swine is porking?
But
the press, always mesmerized by tits and ass, has pressed the case;
for there is money to be made in appealing to the prurient interest.
Mesmerized by silicone instead of violated innocence, our Disgustus,
as his predecessor, will dance free. The difference is that instead
of a playboy we are confronted with the most corrupt, mendacious and
criminal cabal ever to seize power in the United States. We simply
cannot move on. Serious evidence of money laundering, tax evasion,
bank and insurance fraud, racketeering, obstruction of justice,
violations of the emoluments clause of the Constitution and campaign
finance violations remain, as well as serious questions concerning
the intersection of private business dealings with subsequent
alterations in U.S. foreign policy. There are, simply put, too many
unanswered questions.
Currently,
the prevailing wisdom is to move on. Concentrate on policy, report
on the outrages in every department, the corruption, the policy
changes. Perhaps. But the question remains: if impeachment and
removal were not intended for tRUMP, then who?
No!
It is a mistake to gloss this over. To gloss this over is to render
this attempt at 'justice' as fake as Stormy Daniels' tits, to most,
just as mesmerizing. It is, perhaps, the ultimate diminution. The
fact that the Democrats have not passed a resolution in the House
charging the Committee on the Judiciary to begin hearings regarding
the possible impeachment of this swine is an outrage. It has been
nearly three months and we have had only one public airing—that of
Michael Cohen and two of the three appearances by tRUMP's former
personal attorney have been in secret sessions. This simply won't
do.
It
is right and proper, as the House voted 430-0 last week to do, to
make the report immediately available to the Congress. It is right
and proper that the Congress—not the attorney general who was
appointed for just this role—to then redact information regarding
ongoing investigations and release as much as possible. It is then
the responsibility of those we elected and who have taken the oath to
defend and protect the constitution of this country to use the probe
to begin full public hearings.
What
the SCUM did with Clinton was take the report, draw up articles of
impeachment and, without hearings, indict the president and put the
question before the Senate. The experience drawn from the first
full-blown experiment with impeachments conducted by the 'generation
of swine' is that this pig's breakfast is not an acceptable outcome,
and the conclusions drawn from the experience are just as erroneous.
No!
We need full hearings. It was the hearings that produced John Dean.
It was during an open Congressional hearing that Alexander
Butterfield told the nation about the existence of the Nixon taping
system. It was the hearings that fleshed out the details and it was
the hearings that prepared the nation to remove the swine.
But
the 'Boomers', the “Generation
of Swine”
learn nothing. Experience is powerless to instruct. If only they
had done it right. If only now we do it right. If. Fucking. Only.
“An
Br'er Putin, he jus' laugh and laugh”
Impeach
and Imprison.
