I have been following the President Trump “witch hunt” via several blogs, including:
The Last Refuge (a.k.a. The Conservative Treehouse).
Truth 2 Freedom’s Blog posts and political links.
The Hill has a great post up today entitled “Stopping Robert Mueller to protect us all” that summarizes what has been done by “The Deep State” members in our government for over 1 1/2 years to try to(oftentimes, illegally) get President Trump out of office. The article has been shared over 18,777 times!
Excerpt:
(THE HILL) — The “deep state” is in a deep state of desperation. With little time left before the Justice Department inspector general’s report becomes public, and with special counsel Robert Mueller having failed to bring down Donald Trump after a year of trying, they know a reckoning is coming.
At this point, there is little doubt that the highest echelons of the FBI and the Justice Department broke their own rules to end the Hillary Clinton “matter” — but we can expect the inspector general to document what was done or, more pointedly, not done. It is hard to see how a year-long investigation of this won’t come down hard on former FBI director James Comey and perhaps even former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who definitely wasn’t playing mahjong in a secret, no-aides-allowed meeting with former President Clinton on a Phoenix airport tarmac.
Further down in the article we read:
Flush with 16 prosecutors, including a former lawyer for the Clinton Foundation, and an undisclosed budget, the Mueller investigation has been a scorched-earth effort to investigate the entirety of the Trump campaign, Trump business dealings, the entire administration and now, if it was not Russia, maybe it’s some other country.
The president’s earlier legal team was naïve in believing that, when Mueller found nothing, he would just end it. Instead, the less investigators found, the more determined and expansive they became. This president and his team now are on a better road to put appropriate limits on all this.
This process must now be stopped, preferably long before a vote in the Senate. Rather than a fair, limited and impartial investigation, the Mueller investigation became a partisan, open-ended inquisition that, by its precedent, is a threat to all those who ever want to participate in a national campaign or an administration again.
Excerpt:
Stopping Mueller isn’t about one president or one party. It’s about all presidents and all parties. It’s about cleaning out and reforming the deep state so that our intelligence operations are never used against opposing campaigns without the firmest of evidence. It’s about letting people work for campaigns and administrations without needing legal defense funds. It’s about relying on our elections to decide our differences.
Amazingly, the author of that article is Mark Penn, who served as pollster and adviser to President Clinton from 1995 to 2000, including during his impeachment.
There is much, much more that can be said and written about this “witch hunt” against President Trump, his administration, and his family!
The personal attacks against Trump were bad enough, but the attacks against his family were the worst! Why would anyone want to subject themselves to such awful treatment? President Trump can take it, as he has done so well ever since he announced his candidacy. But the terrible treatment done against his beautiful wife Melania, his youngest son Barron, his older children and their spouses is enough to make anyone in America think twice about ever running for public office. It’s a damn shame!
The comment section at The Hill is interesting and mixed. Will likely take some time for me to go through them all. So far, I like what “Cola GCock wrote:
“History will show the Obama administration as the most corrupt in US history.
They were in good shape up until Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton. Then, the house of cards started to fall.”
So true!
And, what Chipsie wrote:
Every American owes the entire Trump family enduring thanks and appreciation. This attack on our country’s freedom to choose our leaders was so ruthless, well financed and all encompassing with a compliant mainstream media to boot that it seems indeed a miracle that somehow President Donald J. Trump sustained his campaign. Like him or not, the man did not have to suffer the slings and arrows of those who at the very least have been entrusted with defending our governance and citizenry within the DOJ, FBI, and CIA. That he had and still retains the fortitude to do so is absolutely incredible and truly representative of American exceptionalism at its finest.
And this one by On Joe Gotta Go:
Finally. Someone on the left with principles, who recognizes the incredibly stupid and dangerous precedent set by the 0bama Admin’s corrupt use of our Federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies to delegitimize a political opponent’s campaign and administration.
