Oh, come on, Dov, just say what you mean!

Regular readers will have picked up on the  'irony ahead' warning in my title!  In it, I refer, of course, to Mr. Dov Fischer, of The American Spectator who has, shall we say, some choice opinions concerning the previous tenant of The White House.  For example and with my emphases:

I accepted Obama. I never articulated his first name, and I never called him “president,” but I accepted the results and accepted that this Pretender was our country’s lawfully elected chief executive. I watched his arrogance, the unctuous way he carried himself literally with his nose up, the way he never held a railing while walking a stairway because he was too cool, the kinds of human dreck he regularly invited as his White House guests, and I accepted it all with the soft whisper, “This, too, shall pass.” I watched the Corrupt Journalist Corps idolize him, crown him a king, admire him as a messiah and a deity, and I accepted the milieu. This, too, in time would pass. It meant living through eight years of the deepest public corruption. Lois Lerner stealing an election by leveraging the awesome power of the Internal Revenue Service to close down legitimate conservative political groups. Eric Holder — the nobleman who urged people to kick enemies — bringing lawlessness and corruption into the Justice Department, even approving the “Fast and Furious” idea of releasing lethal weapons to Mexican drug lords in the cockamamie scheme to find out how they access and move their weapons. Glenn Beck exposed Obama’s Maoist communications director, Anita Dunn, who walked children through the White House.

Riiiiiiight, Mr. Fischer, so not a fan then, I take it!

The waters did not stop rising on Obama’s watch. The Earth was not healed. On his watch, a country that finally had healed itself from the shame and scourge of imposing slavery on human beings more than a century earlier, a country that had atoned and that had created and institutionalized a new social infrastructure by which people no longer were denied because of their skin color or religion — a country that reflected that healing by electing a Black man president despite his manifest lack of personal achievement, close ties with an organized-crime felon, and questionable biography — suddenly erupted into a new era of racial bitterness. Michael Brown and Ferguson aflame amid the “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” lie promoted by Obama and by Eric Holder but shot down by a Missouri grand jury. Freddie Gray and Baltimore aflame followed by a series of outright judicial exonerations handed down by a Black judge who saw that every accused cop had acted properly and lawfully. A lowlife killed by George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida, a thug whom Obama told us would have been the likes of his own son if he had had a son. Eight years of racial divide, social division aimed at tearing us up as a color-blind and religion-blind American People, just to promote electoral successes.

Weeeell, yes, actually, it's all coming back to me now!

When the Mets finally took it all in 1969, the other teams accepted the results. They lost gracefully. Now it was the Mets’ turn, and they had won it fair and square. But these past three years have been something different. Trump and Pence won fair and square. But there was no grace. Rather, there was instant character assassination, instant war, instant denial. Advertisements urging electors to violate their Electoral College oaths. Fabrications of collusion with Putin. Investigations that hamstrung a presidency. Lies and innuendoes leaked and published by the unindicted co-conspirators we call the “mainstream media.” A never-ending hunt to find scandals and Trump accusers: a bimbo who pole-danced at bars, her lawyer who now dances behind bars, another crooked lawyer who tape-recorded his own clients and now is locked up, disbarred from the Bar. One cartoon character after another.

Certainly that's what it looks like from 'over here'.  Rabbi Fischer, for that is what he is and has been for 40 years, is loath to hate but, alas, can no longer resist:

I have come deeply to hate. I hate that Donald Trump never was given a chance to be president of the United States for even one day’s honeymoon. I hate that, long before he won the presidency — fair and square — corrupt crooks and criminals in the United States Department of Justice, its Federal Bureau of Investigation, were actively plotting to take him down. I hate that there are so few outlets in the media that give voice to condemn the criminality and corruption that broke every accepted societal norm by which we play the game. I hate that Obama was in on it, yet continues to pontificate on what is just and on what threatens freedom.

In addition, Rabbi Fischer is outraged at the deliberate and vile destruction of General Flynn, a soldier who served his country compared to the smooth outcomes for so many corrupted crooks including,  especially, the utterly despicable Hillary Rodham Clinton.

There is something so evil in a society that tolerates a dual standard of justice, dual standards of everything. On the one hand, we political conservatives harbor profoundly deep feelings, but we do not destroy people’s lives based on abstract politics. Yes, we oppose them and expose them, and we hope that contemporary society and history judge them for the evil they represent. But we do not destroy them in their lives. They get away with everything. Hillary Clinton spoliated 33,000 emails amid a federal probe, a federal crime that always ends up with prison time — but not for her. It is a federal crime to lie under oath to Congress. Comey, Clapper, Brennan — how have they all avoided prison time? Strzok, Page, the whole bunch of them? Adam Schiff. The outliers on the Mueller team. Not one single slime among them in the swamp has been brought to justice.

Rabbi Fisher closes his passionate, outpouring of rage with a single deadly line:

There is a time to love and a time to hate. This is a time to hate.

I have a lot to say. I will not say it.
"It can't happen in America!" It did. It has been covered up
and is being covered up and sloughed off by Democrats-MSM-Deep State. The DOJ and other judges are uncovering the entire coup attempt finally. May they report soon and fully.

The four boxes on which freedom rests:
soap box, ballot box, jury box, the ammo box.

Our enemies have made themselves known. Time for taking sides.

Well so long as you're David, pulling off of The American Spectator how's about I make it a twofer?

Now then.

Whom from among my compatriot fellow followers on this here D&N might we consider best qualified to recommend to our individual Senators to replace the totally ineffective (and too compliant) *Chairman Of the Senate Special Intelligence Committee?

I have to admit to turning over in what passes for my mind, Arkansas' Senator Tom Cotton however, to my way of thinking going forward, Senator Cotton probably should be left as he is. I think actually, Tom might be the best choice for a Presidential candidate come 2024.

Perhaps Missouri's Senator Josh Hawley? Just a thought though actually. He too might be left for some future considerations.

Suggestions?

[Whitewall]

JK, Senator Burr has always been a push over and as thick as a plank. He was that way as a young man. I never met Sen. Burr but my youngest brother knew him. Richard's wife owned a real estate firm for many years and I met her through that a couple of times. She is smart and could run a business, so Richard had to go to DC to get out of her way.

[JK]

Well Whitewall I guess I'll have to say that, fairly quickly after leaving the comment above I emailed Tom recommending Florida's Senator Rick Scott as a first choice. Cruz for second and Hawley as my third choice.

Can't though see Cocaine Mitch "allowing" Cruz anywhere near the real levers of power in the Senate - but it would be kinda fun watching that.

Hawley I could definitely get comfortable with in the position but, and just from my state's proximity to his and observing his priorities I don't know he'd be so inclined to Intel.

Alot will be illumined however by whomever the Senate's choice ultimately is - whether the DC Establishment realizes its electoral *prospects.

[Pat]

It has been said that nobody will go to jail because that never happens in DC. And it never has.
But past miscreants have gone quietly. This lot haven't.
An exception to past practise is therefore necessary.

"If McConnell and Graham want to confirm judges after November, they need to understand how viscerally outraged many Americans are by the spying and leaking scandal. They need to know that refusal to do anything about it will hurt Republicans, not Democrats, at the ballot box."

https://thefederalist.com/2020/05/15/memo-to-mitch-mcconnell-you-wont-get-judges-if-you-dont-hold-resistance-accountable-for-russia-hoax/

Well Whitewall it would seem we're not so alone after all.

And you too Pat.

[Whitewall]

McConnell did seem wimpy in that interview. You never know with him but Democrats have made careers out of flaccid Republicans not pulling the trigger. If justice fails in this then the only avenue left is rough justice. Malcolm posted a piece here a while back from an acquaintance of his talking about a "volume knob" and how Left and Right view it and use it. I can't recall where it was but the article packed a punch.

[JK]

Oh Bob?

https://www.nationalreview.com/podcasts/the-mccarthy-report/episode-82-what-is-unmasking/

Run that up to about the 30:40 mark and give it a listen won't you?

Yeah yeah I know how you regard anybody who has any opinions that differ from your own however, the guy was a US Attorney; meaning, confirmed by the Senate ... bipartisanly might I add ...

[Bob]

Rabbi Fisher is obviously informed by otherworldly forces. His religiosity is an inspiration.

--

JK, It's still just one guy's opinion. Looks like no clear sledding for your boy and probably more conspiracy theories to keep up with.

[JK]

Okay okay okay Bob, to be fair ... here's an opposing view [in two parts 1. in 17 minutes - but there's a couple adverts one may easily scroll past, make it 15 minutes total & 2 6 minutes 45 seconds no adverts:

https://audioboom.com/posts/7582322-amicus-briefs-for-the-flynn-criminal-case-richardaepstein-hooverinst-hooverinst?playlist_direction=forward

Epstein's a good lawyer, that I'll grant. I pray it doesn't go so far as he's saying it [probably] will but if it does, so be it.

But the law is the law and that is a good thing. Let it proceed as it will [or might].

[Bob]

JK,

To be even fairer, Flynn was widely known to be sketchy, including by Chris Christie, who is no one's leftist:

https://www.politico.com/states/new-jersey/story/2017/12/06/christie-warning-about-flynn-among-reasons-i-was-fired-from-trump-transition-136432

Supposedly several sources in the preceeding administration warned the Trump people about him too. That's probably why Trump insisted on hiring him - to annoy the Obama people.

The only opinion that really matters is Judge Sullivan's, and apparently he's not playing ball with Barr.

[JK]

"To be even fairer, Flynn was widely known to be sketchy"

Well gollee Bob he was a fully engaged head of one of the major components of the IC wasn't he - until he put into a report our strategy in Afghanistan wasn't as geniusy as the warhawk-politicos and the Pentagon 'deskers' kept telling us it was?

As if anybody paying attention over the last nearly two entire decades couldn't have recognized the reality of that even without his putting it to document?

[Bob]

JK,

What does that have to do with his lying to Pence and the FBI or not mentioning he was an agent of Turkey?

[JK]

You realize Bob the case having to do with any agency with Turkey was thrown out?

But where Flynn's "lying" to Pence is concerned my memory is foggy - might you remind me precisely the language of that lie? And had there been a question asked, and if so, what was that question, exactly?

I'd appreciate it Bob.

[Bob]

JK,

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pence-i-knew-flynn-lied-to-me-about-russian-contacts-when-he-was-fired/

I'm not going to read through a transcript to find the exact verbage. If that's what you want I'll leave it to you.

There might have been mitigating circumstances and there might not have been, but a lie is a lie and Trump fired him for lying. Also, Flynn lied to the FBI several times but they reduced the charges to one after he cooperated. Why is it so important to you that Flynn gets off? He's just one more liar like Manafort, Cohen, and so on.

[JK]

"Flynn lied to the FBI several times"

Edited to more accurately reflect what was purported (bearing in mind there is the "little issue" of a missing 302 - which 302 text exchanges between two government issued [and thus retained on government servers] cellphones reveal was edited by both of the participants of the text[s] exchange[s] ... See IG Horowitz' testimony before Congress 32:27)

Edit - "Flynn, it is alleged, lied to the FBI several times."

***

"Why is it so important to you that Flynn gets off?"

It's nothing to do Bob with any particular individual "getting off" as it is any individual being maliciously and *possibly falsely charged to begin with.

*Possibly - That ball is in IG Durham's court as we speak.
