The man campaigned on releasing the files on day one. His Justice Department is a month behind the Congressionally mandated release date. More and more files appear as night turns to day.
Who are the hundreds of lawyers rushing to redact? Do we need a video with J. Michael Luttig and Joyce Vance and Jack Smith reminding them that they are obligated to uphold the law and not the whims of a man?
Have you seen Wag the Dog? I, for one, am not distracted. The thought of anyone, let alone a child, being forced to touch that man turns my stomach. Whatever he is hiding in those files must be really really awful and indisputable and it needs to be disclosed.
The same person is the Secretary of State and the National Security Advisor. Which role suggested that the citizenry of the United States is safer now that we are running Venezuela?
Pardoning former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez after a jury found him guilty of all sorts of nefarious drug related offenses and then ousting and indicting Nicolas Maduro for doing the same sorts of things has me wondering what Hernandez offered FFOTUS.... and what Maduro would not.
On the other hand, pardoning a convicted former president probably sounds like a sweet song to FFOTUS, if he ever stops to think about his own future.
I don't understand how this has happened to us. We can nibble around the edges of the disastrophe he's created, but measles is back and we've overthrown the President of another country and Ukraine's looking to Europe for leadership and through it all we have to celebrate our country's 250th birthday with a madman at the helm.
Truly, I don't understand.
Great comment about Hernandez v Maduro. These are indeed troubling times. I am very glad that I have always learned a lot about the things my parents' generation endured, because it helps me see that we can (hopefully? probably?) get through this, too.

Joseph McCarthy, J Edgar Hoover, Richard Nixon.... none of them hold a candle to FFOTUS's outrages. I'm looking at Congress with my fingers crossed.
DeleteI too cannot understand how this country could let this one felon destroy a whole way of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Guess it just goes to show...I know very little.
ReplyDeleteYou know no more than I do. We share the same values... and lack of insight into the underlying chaos.
DeleteWhy are we still letting this man get away with doing any evil thing he wants, and what will we still be enduring three years from now????
ReplyDeleteWill Congress act this week? I cannot even imagine what is in store for us since the Supreme Court has given him leeway to do whatever he pleases.
DeleteThe most troubling thing to me (and there are many) is that the Republicans with only a few exceptions are fully behind this lawless behavior. Both houses of Congress and SCOTUS have essentially been neutered. I fear for what's left of this Democracy.
