Reveling in Russiagate

Move Over Watergate

Capitol Hill
March 20, 2017

I well remember coming home from school, day after day for two weeks in May 1973 and gluing myself to the TV for the rest of the afternoon, wallowing in Watergate. The best daytime soap of all time, starring Sen. Sam Ervin and others lit up the airwaves as we watched all the president’s men testify, one by one, day by day, about the break-in at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, DC. The series cliffhanger and the wallowing in Watergate lasted for over a year until finally, we found out who killed JR…I mean who was to blame for the Great Watergate Cover-up, and we got to watch Richard M. Nixon resign and leave his office in disgrace (though he never saw it that way) on August 8-9, 1974. An even better exposition may have begun today, March 20, 2017.

Take-Your-Pick-gate

Both the head of the FBI and the head of the NSA testified that there is an active investigation of the campaign of the now-sitting president and that this investigation started in July 2016 (more on that later). They also made it abundantly clear that there is no evidence whatsoever to back up the charges made by alt-president Chrump about Barack Obama and/or the British, or rogue leprechauns tapping his wires, his phones or anything else. This obviously put the final nail in the coffin of Chrump’s fabricated and insane accusations. Chrump of course took it all in and did the right thing. Sorry, I don’t know why I said that. Sean Spitball immediately claimed that the intelligence mavens’ testimony that Chrump was dead wrong about wire tapping only meant that there was no proof “at this time.” I think Sean should hold his breath until the proof he is dreaming about materializes.

Here is the tweet I would like to see tomorrow:

 

Apparently sleepless in Mor-on-Lago, Daffy Don was up not-so-bright and early frothing and tweeting before today’s hearing began…

There were others, but I will spare you.

Later in the day he decided to live-tweet the festivities, including this gem:

Comey’s response after the tweet was read to him at the hearing, “We’ve offered no view, have no opinion, have no information on potential impact because it’s not something that we looked at.”

For a guy with such a big, albeit selective, mouth right before a presidential election, James Comey sure was tight-lipped during today’s testimony before Congress. Unwilling to even confirm or deny the occurrence of a meeting with the president-(he helped to)elect by blabbing about the candidate whose campaign he sabotaged, we now must count on Comey to investigate the president he chose to help elect. Comey chose not to mention that Chrump’s campaign was under investigation last July for colluding with Russia to rig the election, but decided that since Chrump is in office it is acceptable to mention it now. WTFF

I will let the interested reader decide whether Hillary Clinton’s stupidity regarding severs and emails might be a greater or lesser problem than dozens of Chrump staff and advisors – including Chrump himself – colluding with the Russians to rig the 2016 election. As you decide though, keep in mind that of the group in question, one is now our so-called president, one is the nation’s Attorney General, one was the so-called president’s National Security Advisor (since relieved of his America-based duties) and one is Secretary of State, who prefers to carry out his duties out of sight of the media press.

Putin shows off new look

Tune in next time when Congress interviews Russia to determine if James Comey purposely interfered with our election and whether or not there was collusion between Comey and Russia.
