It’s actually deeply revealing that the predominate theme of what is coming out of the more respectable end of the conservative commentariatm.....McCarthy, Stossel etc. ...not just Rush etal.... is that none of this should have been an issue in light of how it became one.
Not mentioned is that the figures involved had pretty much all been under scrutiny and investigation for years before Trump entered the political picture. Massive files in some cases. By Federal agencies AND numerous states.
The Flynn thing triggered the Special Investigation and, most importantly, the terms of it’s charge. The “whatever else you might dig up or trip over” part. That came from the Trump DOJ, not Dems in Congress or individuals within the intelligence agencies. The Trump family, Cohen, Manafort, Page, Lewendowski etc.etc.along with scores of Russians and Ukrainians had been on intelligence agency radar for a good long time.
Knowledge of Nunes segmented cab ride put him in a spot where he became resigned to carry the water in Congress for the notion that this should all be called off because it became evident immediately that much of it has very little to do with overt collusion. The need to invalidate everything else.
Now close to 70% of Americans feel that this Investigation needs to be taken to it’s conclusive end. I’ve seen no breakdown of that number that shows how many want it to because the RW mind shapers have them convinced that all of those being scrutinized will be absolved. But I suspect it is significant. Our pal here Alan and X more.
