This whole impeachment nonsense has always been about a race against the clock. Let me explain. As I’ve previously reported, Trump’s release of the Ukraine transcript blew up their plans and forced Pelosi to launch early. But this goes back much further.

From the moment that AG Barr said there was spying on the Trump campaign and he was going to investigate, the clock started ticking on the Dems. They had to do whatever they could to undermine Trump because they knew that the Obama administration had weaponized the intelligence agencies to spy on and try to destroy the Trump campaign and then presidency. And in all likelihood, there are Democratic members of the House and Senate who are themselves at risk — if for nothing else leaking than leaking classified information.

Then Barr appointed US Attorney John Durham, a nonpartisan straight shooter respected on both sides of the aisle and it was game on. When it was announced that Durham was now changing from an administrative review to a full fledged criminal investigation anal sphincters tightened all over the left. The clock was ticking louder and louder.

Schiff and Nadler went to court to enforce one of their bogus subpoenas demanding grand jury testimony from the Mueller investigation and an Obama appointed district court judge ruled in their favor but on dubious grounds that Schiff’s star chamber nonsense was actually a legitimate impeachment inquiry, and gave DOJ until the end of this month to turn over the requested documents. Undoubtedly, the Trump DOJ would appeal to the DC Court of Appeals and then if necessary to the Supremes and this would have resulted in a delay that the Dems couldn’t afford. So once again Pelosi pulled the trigger to hold a legitimate vote on Thursday to try to cure the defects in their proceedings.

Why did she rush to do this, because she knows that the IG report on the FISA abuses is supposedly coming this week and will devastatingly destroy the whole basis for the Russia hoax and the Mueller appointment.

Since Barr’s announcement of an investigation this has always been about the Dems getting out their nonsense before Durham could get out the truth. It laughingly has the Dems claiming that Trump has politicized DOJ because they are investigating the politicized intelligence agencies, including the DOJ, under Obama. This has always been about trying to get out their narrative before the truth comes out. Their only hope in 2020 is to get Trump removed because the sorry slate of candidates they have will get destroyed in the election.

So just remember when you’re trying to figure out why something is happening, it’s all about the clock ticking toward the utter exposure and destruction of the Dems narrative.
