And Now...Coming to the Plate...

Now that the Mueller Report is out and has apparently whiffed, it will be impossible to tamp down the President for at least the next month.  And honestly...who could blame him?  For expert assessment of Mueller, see this: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/03/trump-russia-investigation-mueller-report-full-disclosure-documents-testimony/    But a more important thing to keep in mind is something I addressed in a 12/27/2017 blog, repeated below.  The Special Counsel circus has closed down and the tents will fold up, but what about all the crooks that fleeced the good town folk with their lies, deceit, and tall tales of conspiracy and high crime?  Well, Mr. Horowitz has been investigating them for well over a year now and you have to think that they might be losing some sleep right about now.  The ONLY way to insure that an abuse of power like this never occurs again is to hold those responsible to account for their actions.  Mr. Horowitz...it is your turn to step into the batter's box.

From December of 2017.......

Michael E. Horowitz.  He is the Inspector General for the Department of Justice.  He is turning over a bunch of rocks and actually telling the truth about what lies beneath.  You can read about Mr. Horowitz and check out his job and background here @ https://oig.justice.gov/about/meet-ig.htm.

Here’s the deal: Mr. Horowitz doesn’t seem to care that he came into his current position under the Obama Administration, he seems to take his appointment duties and mission seriously, he has an impressive skill set suited to the investigation of government abuse, and he has an impressive body of resources with which to investigate said government abuse.  From all indications, Mr. Horowitz may prove to be the truth-teller that Mr. Mueller and his merry band of partisan Democrats was supposedly intended to be.

On a passing note, there have been quite a few quotes attributed to retired Obama Administration officials over the last few weeks; most of them reflective of their sophomoric, narcissistic, and naïve attitudes about this country and the world.  Do you ever wonder where ex-Administration officials go when they are turned out of office?  Why can’t they just…go away?  Not sure if it is valid (probably not, but you never really know with this bunch…), but here’s a story that is making the rounds and was supposedly overheard during a recent power lunch in WDC…

Ben Rhodes: Hey….Strzok has come up with a great idea for a new type of umbrella.  He ran across this old military research project that was discontinued.  Maybe we can all form a Partnership and make some money off this thing?

Andrew McCabe: I could check with McCauliffe if we need some startup funding?

John Brennan: Exactly what is this great new idea and has it been cleared through intelligence and military channels?   You know, I could help with that…

Loretta Lynch: If not, I can take care of that with them between flights.  Both our planes will be together on the tarmac for a few minutes somewhere and I’ll just pop over to talk about “golf and the grandkids”.

Sally Yates: You know…I have always harbored a secret ambition to appear on the Home Shopping Network.  This might be just the right time.  What color do you all think I look best in?

Rhodes: Here is the deal…this umbrella looks just like an ordinary umbrella except that it has three big holes in it so…voila’…you can look up to see the sun and tell when it stops raining!

James Clapper: My Gosh…that is freaking brilliant!  I will get a team on research and make sure there is no existing patent.  If there is, it will be gone by next week.  It…never…happened.

James Comey: I have a great idea.  We could put inscriptions on each umbrella; something motivational and uplifting.  Maybe we can kinda print it around the holes.

Lois Lerner: Let me handle the finances.  I see great possibilities here for a favorable tax situation.

Eric Holder: Look folks, I have some concern about the product liability possibilities in this deal.  Has anyone considered that?

Hillary Clinton (via teleconference from Chappasdljojererer…): Hey…just leave the legal issues to me.  NOT a problem.

Rod Rosenstein:  Wait a minute, you guys.  If there are holes in the umbrella, won’t that let the rain come through and make it rather useless?

Comey: I don’t see a problem; you can still read the inscriptions.  Maybe we could even make them in a fluorescent color….

Rhodes: Listen…we can line up some product trial research.  I’ve got some old frat buddies that can take care of it.  We’ll throw in a few kegs and they will tell us anything we want.

Susan Rice: The holes are not a problem.  I can arrange some Sunday Morning talk show appearances with the networks to explain how the benefits far outweigh the shortcomings and make this sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread.

James Baker: You know…this is the kind of thing that would benefit greatly from a strategic leak or two to the media; you know…just to tease it a bit.

Rhodes: One last thing.  Who will we pick to be the face of this product; the one with the big personality for all the billboards and ads; someone with a bright smile that won’t question the realities of the situation?  Somebody who would actually believe that this thing could work?  You know what I mean…Someone who is believable even though what they say is totally ridiculous?

All Together as One:  Our old Boss…Barack!!!
