Two Realities

It’s hard to reconcile the world views of the Left and the Right when it comes to President Donald J. Trump. The Orangeman, on a minor miracle, won the presidency in 2016 ... committing the sin of all sins ... beating the brightest woman in the world. As a result, Hillary Clinton has become unglued ... accusing Trump of all sorts of diabolical doings to win. And those who voted for her have also followed her down these rabbit holes ... proffering all kinds of  spittle-flecked pejoratives to slime her victorious foe ... and even try to remove him from office.

We on the Right see these efforts as vindictive ... even possibly treasonous. Since most of this combat has been opinion and not fact, I have suggested in a blog comment to a never-Trumper that we might only resolve these differences with hard guilt-suggesting evidence ... not with overheated rhetoric.

So, I have decided to try to recount all the possible damning physical evidence on both sides ... and see where that gets us. Thus the following lists of tangible naughties:

Hillary Clinton

- 33,000 deleted Hillary emails
- Fusion GPS dossier on Trump
- The phone taps on the Trump campaign
- The Dem spies inserted into the Trump campaign
- Fabricated FISA court applications
- Strzok-Page FBI emails

- The hacked DNC server ... not inspected by the FBI

- Destroying Hillary and company smartphones with hammers
- CloudStrike control of DNC server (in Ukraine?)

- Using BleachBit on Democrat hard drives
- Big Clinton donations to McCabe’s wife’s campaign

- 20% of US uranium ceded to Russia during Obama’s term

- $150 million donation by Russia to Clinton Foundation

- $500,000 fee to Bill Clinton for a half-hour speech in Moscow

- Obama’s hot-mic comment about being more flexible once reelected
- The Mueller Report
- Biden denying $1 billion in loans until Ukraine prosecutor is fired

- $3+ million to Hunter Biden from Ukraine’s Burisma

- $1.5 billion “investment” by China in Hunter Biden’s hedge fund

- Airplane manifests of Bill Clinton's 28 trips to Epstein’s Lolita island 

- $300,000 in marked bills to George Papadopoulos
- The “honeypot” used by Stefan Halper to compromise Papadopoulos

Donald Trump

- Trump’s  invite to Putin that, if he had Hillary’s emails, show us

- The 7/25 phone call transcript with Zelensky

- A Russia oligarch bought one of his condos in 2008 for $8 million

- The Stormy Daniels payoff check
- “Emolument” payments by foreigners to Trump resorts
- The 9/11 release of military aid to the Ukraine
- The Mueller Report
- $200,000 of pro-Trump Facebook ads by Russia
- His orange hair
- His long red ties

Condensed Soup

I was wrong once again. Robert Mueller is actually testifying in front of two House committees today. It seems that the purpose of these hearings, from the Democrat point of view, is to reprise his 448 page report to the viewing public ... since so few of them have actually read this tome ... or have waded through the many media attempts to spoon-feed the juicier portions to them. It would appear to this observer that the sheer length of this document defeated its purpose. Some brevity might have worked wonders in focusing the impact its author (Andrew Weismann?) desired. Condensed soup is not improved by an extra two gallons of water (i.e., 400 extra pages of innuendo in the Mueller report.)

These hearings are obviously political theater ... unlikely to produce anything new. But there will be heroic efforts by the Democrats therein to create enough dramatic moments to swing the American public’s opinion toward Trump’s impeachment ... or at least sully him enough to make his re-election problematic. It will be interesting to see how these Democrat plot twists will be manufactured and how clever thy will be.

Can these two committee (bone) heads, Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff, script these hearings to so swing public opinion to their purpose? which is impeachment. We shall see. I’ll wait to finish this blog entry until this answer emerges from Mueller’s testimony.

Results:

Nadler hearing — Mueller has gone soft ... didn’t know of Glen Simpson and Fusion GPS (WHAT!?) ... He couldn’t answer why his posse reached a conclusion about collusion but not obstruction. Dems did their best to show that Trump obstructed injustice  ... otherwise YAWN

Schiff hearing — Muddled, mixed-up Mueller with few real answers. ZZZZ!

Surprise!

Is anyone shocked that Special Counsel,  Robert Mueller, has caused his grand jury to issue an indictment or indictments in the Trump-Russia collusion probe? We should know on Monday who the indictee(s) are. Since the revelation that Hillary Clinton and the DNC had indeed colluded with Russia, through the Fusion GPS firm, to try to smear Trump prior to last year's election, the pressure is on Mueller to reverse this reversal. Although the liberal media has been trying to ignore Fusion GPS and the Uranium One scandal, these damaging revelations are beginning to change the narrative in the Deep State's slow motion coup.

So ... Mueller has been forced to pull the trigger on his investigation ... and, I predict, he better hit the target's bullseye. If this first indictment or indictments are not stunners, then it is likely that this special investigation might quickly become a laugher ...

Afterward: My prediction is Paul Manafort ... ,maybe when he was oorking for the Podesta Group ...
