Let’s go in reverse order. The ugly is obviously Nadler and his ridiculous talking points ‘hearing’. It was excruciatingly awful. It was worse than being locked into a port-a-potty at the end of the day at a chill festival. I don’t know how they think they are doing anything to move their coup forward, but this ain’t doing it.
The bad. The IG report was just as I predicted. He found everything that the DOJ and the FBI did wrong in spying on Trump through Carter Page and then said it wasn’t political or intentional. Total nonsense but just what I expected.
Now for the good. Both AG Barr and more importantly John Durham, essentially the special prosecutor looking into the origins and legitimacy of the FBI’s Russian collusion investigation, Immediately said that they disagree with the IG’s conclusion on the basis for the FBI investigation. Durham has said he is conducting a criminal investigation. He has subpoena power, the power to impanel a grand jury and the power to indict. He needs to start indicting folks like Comey and Clapper and Brennan soon. That will really make the point that needs to be made to the swamp. There has to be consequences.
