The Republican chairman and ranking Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee announced that they have reached a different conclusion – regarding Russian interference in the 2016 election – than that of their counterparts in the House. As you may recall, the House Intelligence Committee, led by Chrump tool Devin Nunes, decided to avoid looking at most of the available evidence completely, and to ignore the evidence they bothered to look at, before announcing that Donald Chrump was completely in the clear. Many people would call that collusion. Or obstruction of justice. Or crimes against the Constitution.
The House committee’s decision was a unilateral one, made by Nunes who had to recuse himself shortly after the committee started its work. Nunes, who worked on the Chrump campaign and transition team before heading the House investigation, was caught canoodling with the White House in an attempt to deceive the American public. Nunes decided to un-recuse himself in order to protect the man he was supposed to be investigating. Ranking Democrat Adam Schiff, was vigorously and vocally opposed to shutting down the House investigation since there was so much other evidence to be seen, and since the evidence already seen warranted anything but walking away.
The Senate Intelligence Committee, on the other hand, has instead endorsed the U.S. intelligence community's assessment of Russia’s involvement in the 2016 presidential election. That assessment insists that Russia, at the behest of Vladimir Putin, intervened in 2016 specifically to help elect then-candidate Donald Trump and to defeat Hillary Clinton. Clinton was Putin’s worst nightmare – hawkish on Russia, and obviously much smarter and tougher than the orange-colored, tiny-handed, syphilitic sociopath who was and is up to his eyeballs in Russian money, debt and probably a healthy dose of blackmail…“allegedly.”
Adding insult to ignominy, the Daily Beast reported that the Senate Judiciary Committee has documents that “suggest the Kremlin used the NRA to offer the campaign a back channel to Moscow – including a potential meeting between Trump and Vladimir Putin – and might have secretly funded Trump’s campaign.” Surely this is nothing more than an amusing coincidence.
We also learned that the FBI was watching the Chrump campaign in 2016 amid concerns that Russia was trying to help Chrump defeat Clinton. Those concerns arose out of thin air – albeit thin air that was thick with Russians arm-in-arm with countless members of the Chrump team. The Russian-backed American president is livid that the FBI was spying on his crooked campaign and now demanding that the FBI be investigated for investigating him. I know what you must be thinking – it is the FBI’s job to investigate criminal, possibly treasonous activity, even if that activity is as innocuous as a hostile foreign power trying to influence the election of an American president.
I suppose Chrump cannot be faulted for expecting that his life-long career as a thug, liar and head of the Chrump Crime Family should simply continue unabated, particularly now that the Oval Office is his. His decades-long crime spree had gone not only unpunished, but rewarded for so long, it is reasonable for him to think it absurd for some loser-ex-head-of-the-FBI to start picking on him now, just because he illegally obtained the highest office in the land for the sole purpose of lining his ill-fitting pockets.
