| Dems double down on distraction to obscure Uranium One scandal |
| 2017-10-20 |
| [AMERICANTHINKER] It is now clear to anyone who filters through all the media chaff on condolence calls that the FBI and Department of Justice allowed a criminal conspiracy to proceed, endangering national security but enriching the Clintons, and have been covering up the evidence. The two people responsible for targeting the special counsel on Trump and Russia are directly responsible for the cover-up. Yesterday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing produced plenty of video clips of Al Franken badgering Jeff Sessions, making him look off-balance. That might comfort the sensibilities of Trump-haters, but it is all a phony distraction. It is now clear that real collusion with Russians did take place ‐ between Secretary Clinton's machine and the Russians. Greg Jarrett, a lawyer and fearless Fox News correspondent, lays out the case that racketeering laws apply to the Uranium One scandal (hat tip: Jim Host, Gateway Pundit). There is much more to this clear-eyed presentation, including Jarrett's call for Mueller and Rosenstein to resign, since they were responsible for the investigation, kept quiet and allowed it to unfold, and kept it secret. It is well worth five minutes. The old bromide that "the cover-up is worse than the crime" derives from Watergate, a third-rate burglary, criminally. Endangering national security through racketeering could be a serious crime, indeed. But the cover-up, implicating the pinnacle of our justice and law enforcement hierarchies, could be even bigger, if you think about it. When you lose the police and prosecutors, you are no longer a functioning democratic republic. No matter how much chaff the media generates, about half the public (46%, according to a poll released today) believes that the media make up stuff about Trump. And the Truth will out. |

| #8 When you lose the police and prosecutors, you are no longer a functioning democratic republic. It's not just the police and prosecutors; its also the bought judges who support a personal ideology rather than to follow the rule of law. Congress has a role as well. If this happens, you become no better than a corrupted banana republic. I blame the Clintons and the Obama administrations for the tainted government. |

| #5 Didn't Hillary say something about if they lost they'd all be hanging? Perhaps this is what she meant. |

| #4 The entire Trump - Russian thing is a distraction. If Clinton had been elected (as was predicted) none of this unpleasantness would have seen the light of day. Her only hope now is (as it was before) to win the next presidential election. If not under criminal indictment prior to 2018, I suspect she'll be running again. |

| #3 Mueller needs a special prosecutor ON HIS ASS. He needs to resign his charge in disgrace |
