The Ever-Moving Vast Russian Collusion Goalpost

This past week’s events have well illustrated the calumny implicit in the mainstream media’s coverage of the Vast Russian Conspiracy Narrative with which they smear President Donald J. Trump, his administration, and now his family.

Be Careful What You Wish For, Mainstream Media

Finally someone in Congress  has seemingly grown the necessary spherical items to tell it like it is to the mainstream media, which have gone delusional and illusional (to borrow from Kellyanne Conway) about alleged Russian “collusion” with President Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

As the Tables Turn: Lynch Goes Under the Microscope

Several recent developments will be interesting to follow in the mainstream media. It’s their turn to squirm now. An article in the New York Post says that a special counsel may “probe Team Obama’s obstruction of justice.”

Whether or not an investigator is appointed, Congress itself intends to investigate former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and her potential obstruction of justice and politicization of the criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton’s illegal email server.

Putin Weighs in on Comey

Recently Russian President Vladimir Putin opined about the ongoing saga of former FBI Director James Comey’s mendacity: [emphasis added]

“It looks weird when the chief of a security agency records his conversation with the commander-in-chief and then hands it over to media via his friend,” Putin was quoted by Russia’s Tass. “This is strange. What is the difference then between the FBI director and Mr. Snowden? He is not a head of the special services, but a human rights activist.” …

“I am not familiar in detail with the testimony given by former FBI director Comey,” Putin said during a question and answer session with citizens. “Again, he gave no evidence of this (Russian meddling).”

Comey and Reality

This is an interesting week for the United States of America. Today, intelligence officials are set to testify:

Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, National Security Agency Director Adm. Mike Rogers, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will all testify before the Senate intelligence committee 24 hours before the [James] Comey hearing.

White Trash?

“White trash Mount Rushmore?” That’s what Paul Begala, former White House Counsel to Bill Clinton, said about a photo of Governor Sarah Palin, Kid Rock, and Ted Nugent, who were posed in front of the official portrait of Hillary Clinton that’s hanging in the White House. Yep. White trash. That’s what he said. Nice.

Trump Tomahawk Chops Assad

Yesterday, U.S. President Donald J. Trump ordered a Tomahawk missile attack on an airbase in Syria, in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack against Syrian civilians, allegedly perpetrated by forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
