Today’s paragraphs (and their sentiment has been echoed by a number of other media venues/individual personalities (Sean Hannity, John Solomon and Sarah Carter immediately come to mind) come to us from David Harsanyi, writing for thefederalist.com.
After his latest commentary made richly-deserved mincemeat of the disgraceful behavior displayed by Senate Democrats, and Democrats in general, regarding the mueller report and Barr memo, Harsanyi turned his attention to what he thinks the real motivation for their increasing-by-the-day level of hysteria:
Another thing Mueller didn’t seem at all concerned about was whether the Trump-Russian collusion conspiracy had been initiated or stoked by Russians. Those clamoring for transparency when useful—now acting as if investigating how the entire country was thrown into a panic over non-existent Russian infiltration of the White House is absurd—are the true conspiracy theorists.
Yet Barr, who dropped some interesting tidbits in yesterday’s hearings, seems willing to investigate the impetus of the Russia “collusion” investigation, the role of the infamous dossier, and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants used by the previous administration for “spying.” Now that Trump has been cleared of criminal conspiracy, it seems reasonable for the American people to have an understanding of how the Obama administration rationalized spying on its political rivals during a presidential election.
Perhaps it will be vindicated, or perhaps someone will find evidence of abuse of power. Either way, in a healthy media environment, such a story would launch a massive investigatory effort. Today, it seems, the political media would rather engage in a concerted effort with Democrats to preemptively smear Barr.
What David Harsanyi is suggesting (and I am stating in so many words) is that, if Attorney General Barr is for real, the worst possible nightmare for Democrats and their media sycophants is about to come true: a serious investigation of how this ridiculous witch hunt came to be.
Specifically, such an investigation will – or, at any rate should – concentrate on uncovering who started it, who pushed it, who paid for the materials used to push it, and what was done – both legally and illegally – to advance it every step of the way.
After two years and something like $25 30 million dollars spent on a ludicrous, phoney-baloney nothingburger like the mueller investigation, it seems more than reasonable to find out who the responsible parties were…
…which should scare the daylights out of people with names like Clinton, and Comey, and McCabe, and Strzok, and Page, and Simpson, and Clapper, and Brennan, and, just maybe, Obama too.
I award Paragraphs Of The Day honors to David Harsanyi for his intelligent analysis…and the avenue he opened for me to put up my own version of what he is saying.
We know the Obama administration used the irs against conservatives and spied on the media, now I can’t help but wonder what else they were doing then. Maybe if investigated we would find out using our government for spying on the opposition was just another day in the Obama admin.?
