    Van Jones seems to be one of the few Democrats who actually gets it:

    I’ve been trying to tell folks for a long time: there’s no Santa Claus, there’s no Harry Potter with a magic wand. And I can’t tell you how many people over the years have come up to me — serious people, with their hearts broken — saying, “But when Bob Mueller comes, man, he’s gonna get Trump, and Trump’s gonna be out of there — Van, how many more days do you think Trump has left? And I said, “Maybe eight years, if we don’t start working on real issues and not just talking about Robert Mueller all the time.”

      A lengthy and in-depth look that puts the Mueller investigation and Barr's summary letter into context; pretty much a "must read" for anybody who wants to know what's really going on:

      Edit: Be warned, there is some occasional profanity in the analysis.

        I'm still waiting for Hillary's crimes to catch up to her.

          The Hill Apologizes To Trump...


          With the conclusions of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe now known to a significant degree, it seems apologies are in order.

          However, judging by the recent past, apologies are not likely forthcoming from the responsible parties.

          In this context, it matters not whether one is a supporter or a critic of President Trump.

          Whatever his supposed flaws, the rampant accusations and speculation that shrouded Trump’s presidency, even before it began, ultimately have proven unfounded. Just as Trump said all along.

          Yet, each time President Trump said so, some of us in the media lampooned him. We treated any words he spoke in his own defense as if they were automatically to be disbelieved because he had uttered them. Some even declared his words to be “lies,” although they had no evidence to back up their claims.

          We in the media allowed unproven charges and false accusations to dominate the news landscape for more than two years, in a way that was wildly unbalanced and disproportionate to the evidence.

          We did a poor job of tracking down leaks of false information. We failed to reasonably weigh the motives of anonymous sources and those claiming to have secret, special evidence of Trump’s “treason.”

          As such, we reported a tremendous amount of false information, always to Trump’s detriment.

          And when we corrected our mistakes, we often doubled down more than we apologized. We may have been technically wrong on that tiny point, we would acknowledge. But, in the same breath, we would insist that Trump was so obviously guilty of being Russian President Vladimir Putin’s puppet that the technical details hardly mattered.

            That's from the Onion, right?




            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                    Can we get a refund from Mueller? He spent 25 Million to show what we already knew.

                        I suspect that the Democrats in the House will make that look like peanuts over the next two years.
