News outlets reporting Al Franken has resigned are wrong…or deceptive.

The Minnesota senator said “…in the coming weeks I will be resigning…”

Sorry – that’s not a resignation, that’s a plan to resign.

We agree with Rush on this ‘issue’: the Franken ‘gonna resign’ remark is probably a set-up to cast Roy Moore (if he wins) and President Trump as sexual reprobates who are deserving of similar media treatment, in an ‘if he goes, they should go’ argument.

They want to regain the ‘moral high-ground’ and see Franken as a means to do so.

While we see Al Franken as a buffoon, we also note public opinion should not be the court that determines if an individual is guilty of potentially criminal acts. He deserves to have evidence, proof laid out before him, as should anyone accused of wrongdoing.

That said…

Alabama Republican Moore, running for a vacated senate seat, has been hit – as has Mr. Trump – with some unproven allegations about sexual misconduct. We see Al Franken’s ‘plan’ to resign as a media/political ploy meant to pile-on Roy Moore and Mr. Trump with allegations of a Republican ‘war-on-women’ leading up to mid-terms.

Otherwise, why would Franken make an ‘in the coming weeks’ announcement, while, in the same breath, continuing to proclaim his innocence?

But if liberal friends try equating allegations against Roy Moore and the President with what’s going on with Franken, just remind them oh-so-politely that all those Al Franken accusers are DEMOCRATS against a Democrat…negating any opposition motive…

…whereas allegations against Republicans Trump and Moore are by anti-GOP’ers.

Democrats may try seeking a ‘high ground’ when it comes to sexual misconduct and a war-on-women, but because of their decades-long media-aided cover-ups, they can’t.

Women in power within the Party, political male hierarchy in that Party, and Democrat media masters ALL colluded for decades to keep dirty secrets hidden from view.

The trail is too littered with #MeToo sex-abuse casualties from within now coming forward – it’s difficult to see how covering up those abuses can benefit politically.

Ironic, isn’t it? The Democrats’ media-enablers are the primary cause of the current Democrat imbroglio, holding the GOP to higher standards…whilst Clinton et al dallied.

And powerful Democrat men and women alike played their ‘nothing to see here’ role.

What price, cover-ups? Will Democrats pay for their Party’s media-veiled misogyny?

Time will tell.

It’s about time an American president had the nerve to do what needed to be done.

Israel is our ally. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel…

• failure to acknowledge that basic fact leaves Israel as less than a nation;
• failure to acknowledge that basic fact encourages the anti-Israel Muslim sentiment to more dangerous acts of violence.

Thank you for having the courage to do the right thing, Mr. President.

“Latest revelations make the entire ‘collusion’ probe look like a partisan hit“

Democrats used a phony sleaze-doc to push a Russia collusion probe that, if anything,  has done a fine job…exposing Democrats – from lackeys to lawyers to leaders.

Pay-to-Play UraniumOne; FBI email NON-probe; DNC aide chicanery; Fake News hit jobs; partisan FBI-lying bias; what’s next? The whole thing’s blown up in their face.

Unintended consequences? Or, self-immolation – writ…LARGE?

With every new story about a crooked UraniumOne deal, it becomes increasingly clear that a main objective for Democrats is ensuring evidence goes down the memory hole.

We know many are convinced Mueller’s special counsel probe is all about impeaching or otherwise delegitimizing President Trump, but the scope of UraniumOne is huge…

…and a great many Democrats are potentially at risk.

The special counsel Russia probe keeps Mueller in a position where access to that data is possible, and as FBI director he was a principle in the investigations at that time.

That’s why we’ve been saying for a long time now that, in our opinion, this is also about dumping evidence…’cuz key Democrat leadership was in peril with Trump’s election.

Primary players in the FBI – Mueller, Comey, Rosenstein, and McCabe – as well as AG Holder and Lynch, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama were all at risk. Had Hillary been elected, no doubt hard evidence would’ve gone down the memory hole, but now…?

Who’s watching the watchers?

Reports say the deal the NFL tried to pitch to the thugs in the league would be funded by taking funds away from existing breast-cancer awareness and military issues.

That’s right – thug players, backed by Leftie George Soros as they protest bogus issues of imaginary injustices, would result in the NFL alienating women’s and military groups.

Proving, once again, how tone-deaf NFL management really is.

And the question is – what’s more maddening…

…enlightening those who already know, or trying to wake those pretending to sleep?

As Ed Rogers notes in his Washington Post op-ed “The quest for collusion is over as the desperate shriek for impeachment begins”…

…”The Democrats know their faux-outrage over collusion is hollow and spent. Given that Mueller’s investigation hasn’t found the holy grail or produced anything that rises to the level of criminality on the part of Trump, liberals in Congress and in the media are now transitioning to an obstruction of justice story-line.”

They want him impeached for firing Comey…

…but it’s within his constitutional authority to do so.

Or, they want him impeached for pressuring Comey to ease up on Flynn even though Trump knew Flynn lied to the FBI…

…but he didn’t know, the acting attorney general confirmed the White House wasn’t told about how Flynn’s FBI interview went…and Comey says he wasn’t pressured.

(Frustrating to be a Democrat-Leftie nowadays, isn’t it?)

Bottom line, all else fails – they want Trump impeached…because he’s Trump.

Good luck finding a basis for that in the Constitution.

So far, Mueller’s spent $7 million of tax-payer money on a collusion meme the Leftknew was bogus, and they now push to spend more for obstruction – where none occurred.

How long will tax-payers put up with this blatant, unnecessarily costly derangement?

Hard to believe he can raise his head high enough to talk, but one of the Left’s poster children of FakeNews – Dan Rather – is angry over Trump’s accusations of media bias.

Really?

It’s a question worth considering – has Trump been working with Manafort and Flynn to get details on any efforts by the special counsel hit-squad to fake collusion evidence?

Those aflutter over the weekend Trump tweet that he fired Flynn “because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI” are trying to make the obstruction case that, if Trump asked Comey to not prosecute Flynn (knowing he’d lied to the FBI) that’s the smoking gun.

Seriously?

According to a report, the President spoke about this with Comey on Jan 27th, three days after Flynn’s FBI interview. But Andy McCarthy notes the acting attorney general, Yates, declined to tell White House counsel how that interview with Flynn went.

And she’s on record – she testified to that during a Senate subcommittee meeting.

Now, top that off with Comey admitting during congressional testimony that 1) he didn’t feel pressured, and 2) CNN reported “FBI interviewers believed Flynn was cooperative and provided truthful answers” during the interview.” 

Not exactly ‘obstruction’ stuff, people.

What’s most amazing here is how far Democrats and their Left-wing media masters will go down a rabbit hole, trying to make something out of nothing against Republicans…

…yet fail to get even a tad worked up over a proven liar to the FBI and Congress when it comes to Hillary. Impeachment’s in order – but the only provable obstruction to date…

…is none other than a Democrat crime.

According to a report, the President spoke about this with Comey on January 24th27th, the same day Flynn was testifying to the FBI. But Andy McCarthy notes acting attorney general Yates declined to tell White House counsel how that interview with Flynn went.

(Correction: one report said the 24th, but other reports show the 27th. We had linked to the properly dated reports, but based the incorrect segments of this blog on an incorrect report. We apologize for the confusion.)

And she’s on record – she testified to that during a Senate subcommittee meeting.

So, if President Trump spoke to Comey the same day Flynn was testifying to the FBI, he couldn’t have known Flynn lied to the FBI during that interview. (Correction: the Flynn-FBI interview was held Jan 24th – we apologize for the error)

Now, top that off with Comey admitting during congressional testimony that 1) he didn’t feel pressured, and 2) the Wall St Journal and CNN reports “FBI interviewers believed Flynn was cooperative and provided truthful answers” during the interview.” 

Not exactly ‘obstruction’ stuff, people.
