All the President’s enablers
America doesn’t need a “stable genius” at the helm as long as stability, intelligence and most of all integrity are present elsewhere in the government. Instead, Congress and the Justice Department are presently doing President Trump’s bidding — ginning up investigations to take the heat off the President’s troubles with Russia.
Last week, Sens. Charles Grassley and Lindsey Graham sent a criminal referral letter to the Justice Department calling for a probe into former British intelligence operative Christopher Steele, who drafted the dossier that first explored yearslong connections between Trump businesses and the Kremlin.
Grassley and Graham claim Steele wasn’t completely forthcoming in his testimony before Congress, even as they and other Republicans refuse to release the full testimony of the consulting firm that first contracted to assemble the dossier.
As though that “look over here” wasn’t shouted loudly enough, Trump chillingly tweeted that Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin should be jailed because of her handling of emails — after which point his Justice Department announced a new probe into the emails and a separate new pay-to-play inquiry into the Clinton Foundation.
The latter was tasked to the Little Rock, Ark., U.S. Attorney, run by a strong administration ally. That’s darn peculiar because the Clinton Foundation is headquartered in Manhattan.
They’re not fooling anyone.
